00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.980

00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:36.860

00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:49.200

00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.320
that<00:08:49.399><c> we're</c><00:08:49.620><c> known</c><00:08:50.120><c> as</c><00:08:50.620><c> people</c><00:08:51.000><c> who</c><00:08:51.539><c> love</c><00:08:52.059><c> one</c><00:08:52.379><c> another.</c>

00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.639
That<00:08:54.440><c> is</c><00:08:54.659><c> the</c><00:08:54.820><c> way</c><00:08:55.019><c> that</c><00:08:55.200><c> we</c><00:08:55.299><c> can</c><00:08:55.539><c> keep</c><00:08:55.879><c> true</c><00:08:56.279><c> and</c><00:08:56.659><c> keep</c><00:08:57.019><c> free</c>

00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.340

00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.539
Well<00:09:02.000><c> then</c><00:09:02.120><c> he</c><00:09:02.279><c> says,</c><00:09:02.860><c> well</c><00:09:02.860><c> some</c><00:09:03.059><c> never</c><00:09:03.620><c> understood,</c><00:09:05.100><c> never</c>

00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:09.919
Well<00:09:07.620><c> that</c><00:09:07.919><c> should</c><00:09:08.200><c> be</c><00:09:08.559><c> our</c><00:09:09.159><c> aim</c><00:09:09.399><c> in</c><00:09:09.659><c> life.</c>

00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.340
Our<00:09:10.700><c> aim</c><00:09:10.879><c> is</c><00:09:11.080><c> to</c><00:09:11.279><c> understand</c><00:09:11.779><c> things</c><00:09:12.120><c> and</c><00:09:12.340><c> not</c><00:09:12.539><c> just</c><00:09:12.799><c> to</c><00:09:13.100><c> close</c>

00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.240
Obviously<00:09:16.500><c> we</c><00:09:16.700><c> would</c><00:09:16.899><c> be</c><00:09:17.100><c> doing</c><00:09:17.240><c> the</c><00:09:17.419><c> readings</c><00:09:17.580><c> all</c><00:09:17.840><c> the</c><00:09:18.000><c> time</c>

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.519
if<00:09:18.659><c> we</c><00:09:18.960><c> carried</c><00:09:19.240><c> it</c><00:09:19.419><c> out</c><00:09:19.639><c> fully</c><00:09:19.879><c> that</c><00:09:20.200><c> way.</c>

00:09:21.019 --> 00:09:23.440
But<00:09:21.279><c> wouldn't</c><00:09:21.519><c> it</c><00:09:21.700><c> be</c><00:09:21.919><c> good</c><00:09:22.120><c> to</c><00:09:22.379><c> know</c><00:09:22.500><c> in</c><00:09:22.580><c> our</c><00:09:22.779><c> own</c><00:09:23.059><c> conscience</c>

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.799
that<00:09:23.740><c> sometimes</c><00:09:24.360><c> during</c><00:09:24.740><c> the</c><00:09:24.960><c> week,</c>

00:09:26.059 --> 00:09:28.940
when<00:09:26.240><c> we</c><00:09:26.639><c> read</c><00:09:26.840><c> something</c><00:09:27.179><c> we</c><00:09:27.379><c> didn't</c><00:09:27.600><c> understand,</c><00:09:28.159><c> we</c><00:09:28.360><c> didn't</c><00:09:28.620><c> just</c>

leave<00:09:29.100><c> it.</c>

00:09:29.700 --> 00:09:33.080
We<00:09:29.980><c> went</c><00:09:30.240><c> to</c><00:09:30.539><c> investigate</c><00:09:31.019><c> further</c><00:09:31.379><c> to</c><00:09:31.639><c> try</c><00:09:31.799><c> to</c><00:09:32.179><c> understand</c><00:09:32.740><c> it.</c>

00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.879
That's<00:09:33.700><c> where</c><00:09:33.799><c> our</c><00:09:34.139><c> strength</c><00:09:34.360><c> is,</c><00:09:35.320><c> not</c><00:09:35.700><c> just</c><00:09:36.220><c> in</c><00:09:36.419><c> knowledge,</c>

00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:39.399

00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:44.919
Getting<00:09:40.799><c> a</c><00:09:41.080><c> root,</c><00:09:42.840><c> finding</c><00:09:42.879><c> out</c><00:09:43.120><c> where</c><00:09:43.360><c> our</c><00:09:43.700><c> strength</c><00:09:44.039><c> comes</c><00:09:44.419><c> from.</c>

God<00:13:33.399><c> has</c><00:13:33.700><c> given</c><00:13:33.899><c> us</c><00:13:34.399><c> to</c><00:13:34.799><c> communicate</c>

00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:39.740
or<00:13:35.899><c> to</c><00:13:36.279><c> work</c><00:13:36.779><c> as</c><00:13:37.000><c> you</c><00:13:37.200><c> know</c><00:13:37.460><c> in</c><00:13:37.899><c> any</c><00:13:38.240><c> ecclesia</c><00:13:38.779><c> there</c><00:13:38.980><c> are</c><00:13:39.220><c> people</c><00:13:39.539><c> who</c>

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:41.980
are<00:13:39.899><c> better</c><00:13:40.120><c> at</c><00:13:40.419><c> certain</c><00:13:40.600><c> things</c><00:13:40.919><c> than</c><00:13:41.139><c> others.</c>

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:45.860
But<00:13:43.100><c> which</c><00:13:43.559><c> of</c><00:13:43.740><c> us,</c><00:13:44.200><c> who</c><00:13:44.460><c> of</c><00:13:44.639><c> us</c><00:13:44.840><c> brothers</c><00:13:45.100><c> and</c><00:13:45.299><c> sisters</c><00:13:45.580><c> have</c>

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:52.000
ever<00:13:46.240><c> really</c><00:13:47.100><c> reached</c><00:13:47.600><c> our</c><00:13:47.960><c> potential</c><00:13:48.700><c> in</c><00:13:49.879><c> what</c><00:13:50.039><c> God</c><00:13:50.259><c> has</c><00:13:50.519><c> provided</c><00:13:50.799><c> for</c><00:13:51.059><c> us.</c>

00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.580
So<00:13:52.559><c> we're</c><00:13:52.899><c> encouraged</c><00:13:53.399><c> to</c><00:13:53.759><c> strive</c><00:13:54.059><c> for</c><00:13:54.360><c> better</c><00:13:54.559><c> things.</c>

00:13:56.340 --> 00:13:59.399
And<00:13:56.559><c> then</c><00:13:56.779><c> lastly</c><00:13:57.159><c> and</c><00:13:57.480><c> I</c><00:13:57.679><c> put</c><00:13:57.799><c> it</c><00:13:58.059><c> last</c><00:13:58.220><c> because</c><00:13:58.659><c> this</c><00:13:58.899><c> is</c><00:13:59.120><c> where</c><00:13:59.240><c> I</c>

00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.179
like<00:13:59.519><c> to</c><00:13:59.960><c> continue</c><00:14:00.220><c> on.</c>

00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.460
People<00:14:01.620><c> just</c><00:14:01.960><c> had</c><00:14:02.159><c> itching</c><00:14:02.480><c> ears.</c>

00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.539
They<00:14:04.340><c> wanted</c><00:14:04.659><c> to</c><00:14:04.940><c> hear</c><00:14:05.100><c> something.</c>

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.139
Now<00:14:06.039><c> I</c><00:14:06.100><c> don't</c><00:14:06.480><c> believe</c><00:14:06.820><c> that</c><00:14:07.480><c> initially</c><00:14:08.019><c> would</c><00:14:08.240><c> have</c><00:14:08.419><c> occurred</c><00:14:08.779><c> in</c><00:14:08.960><c> an</c>

00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:12.139
evil<00:14:09.360><c> sense</c><00:14:09.860><c> brothers</c><00:14:10.200><c> and</c><00:14:10.440><c> sisters</c><00:14:10.639><c> though</c><00:14:10.840><c> it</c><00:14:11.000><c> may</c><00:14:11.179><c> have.</c>

00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:15.500
It<00:14:13.200><c> may</c><00:14:13.360><c> have</c><00:14:13.580><c> occurred</c><00:14:13.879><c> like</c><00:14:14.179><c> this.</c>

00:14:15.820 --> 00:14:19.059
And<00:14:15.980><c> I</c><00:14:16.100><c> think</c><00:14:16.200><c> we</c><00:14:16.460><c> suggested</c><00:14:16.919><c> this</c><00:14:17.200><c> before</c><00:14:17.659><c> that</c><00:14:18.440><c> someone</c><00:14:18.860><c> had</c>

00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:25.480
a<00:14:19.360><c> child</c><00:14:19.840><c> that</c><00:14:22.700><c> was</c><00:14:23.100><c> either</c><00:14:23.639><c> dying</c><00:14:24.139><c> or</c><00:14:24.659><c> close</c><00:14:24.879><c> to</c><00:14:25.120><c> death.</c>

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:29.159
And<00:14:26.399><c> they</c><00:14:26.779><c> couldn't</c><00:14:27.159><c> conceive</c><00:14:27.700><c> that</c><00:14:27.980><c> this</c><00:14:28.340><c> child</c><00:14:28.620><c> would</c><00:14:28.840><c> be</c>

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.100
gone<00:14:29.399><c> forever</c><00:14:29.879><c> based</c><00:14:30.299><c> on</c><00:14:30.440><c> what</c><00:14:30.600><c> they</c><00:14:30.860><c> understood</c><00:14:31.200><c> the</c><00:14:31.460><c> Bible</c><00:14:31.720><c> thought.</c>

00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:34.820
So<00:14:32.899><c> what</c><00:14:33.539><c> could</c><00:14:33.720><c> we</c><00:14:34.000><c> find</c><00:14:34.240><c> in</c><00:14:34.440><c> the</c><00:14:34.559><c> Bible?</c>

00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:40.139
What<00:14:35.059><c> could</c><00:14:35.279><c> we</c><00:14:35.539><c> find</c><00:14:36.039><c> in</c><00:14:36.580><c> teaching</c><00:14:36.980><c> to</c><00:14:37.379><c> comfort</c><00:14:37.980><c> our</c><00:14:39.720><c> fellow</c>

00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:46.279
believers<00:14:40.720><c> in</c><00:14:41.960><c> times</c><00:14:42.259><c> of</c><00:14:42.600><c> grief</c><00:14:43.019><c> and</c><00:14:44.320><c> times</c><00:14:44.600><c> of</c><00:14:44.860><c> personal</c><00:14:45.200><c> loss?</c>

00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:50.539
Well<00:14:47.620><c> I</c><00:14:48.039><c> would</c><00:14:48.220><c> suggest</c><00:14:48.600><c> that</c><00:14:48.860><c> that</c><00:14:49.019><c> is</c><00:14:49.299><c> very</c><00:14:49.720><c> alive</c><00:14:50.059><c> and</c><00:14:50.340><c> well</c>

00:14:50.539 --> 00:14:51.600
all<00:14:51.039><c> the</c><00:14:51.279><c> time.</c>

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.480
It's<00:14:52.259><c> something</c><00:14:52.580><c> we</c><00:14:52.820><c> have</c><00:14:53.059><c> to</c><00:14:53.639><c> be</c><00:14:54.000><c> very</c><00:14:54.360><c> much</c><00:14:54.580><c> aware</c><00:14:54.960><c> of</c><00:14:55.200><c> that</c>

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.659
the<00:14:55.700><c> Bible</c><00:14:55.980><c> speaks</c><00:14:56.460><c> very</c><00:14:56.940><c> clearly</c><00:14:57.440><c> on</c><00:14:57.740><c> the</c><00:14:57.940><c> subject</c><00:14:58.259><c> of</c><00:14:58.460><c> what</c>

00:14:58.659 --> 00:15:00.440
happens<00:14:59.000><c> to</c><00:14:59.240><c> us</c><00:14:59.580><c> when</c><00:14:59.799><c> we're</c><00:15:00.059><c> dead.</c>

00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.899
And<00:15:01.179><c> what</c><00:15:01.519><c> hope</c><00:15:01.879><c> we</c><00:15:02.080><c> can</c><00:15:02.240><c> offer</c><00:15:02.500><c> to</c><00:15:02.740><c> ourselves</c><00:15:03.220><c> and</c><00:15:03.460><c> offer</c><00:15:03.600><c> to</c>

00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:08.419
others<00:15:04.159><c> concerning</c><00:15:04.759><c> a</c><00:15:05.419><c> lost</c><00:15:05.639><c> child</c><00:15:06.139><c> or</c><00:15:07.139><c> some</c><00:15:07.580><c> tragedy</c><00:15:08.059><c> that's</c>

00:15:08.419 --> 00:15:09.899
occurred<00:15:08.679><c> in</c><00:15:08.879><c> our</c><00:15:09.059><c> life.</c>

00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.779
If<00:15:10.100><c> we</c><00:15:10.379><c> speak</c><00:15:10.679><c> the</c><00:15:11.080><c> truth</c><00:15:11.340><c> brothers</c><00:15:11.659><c> and</c><00:15:11.919><c> sisters</c><00:15:12.200><c> and</c><00:15:12.480><c> love</c>

the<00:15:13.120><c> truth</c><00:15:13.440><c> then</c><00:15:14.179><c> ultimately</c><00:15:14.840><c> we</c><00:15:15.580><c> will</c><00:15:15.779><c> benefit.</c>

00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:20.620
But<00:15:17.279><c> if</c><00:15:17.460><c> we</c><00:15:17.779><c> believe</c><00:15:18.100><c> as</c><00:15:18.379><c> others</c><00:15:18.659><c> have</c><00:15:18.980><c> believed</c><00:15:19.200><c> I</c><00:15:19.340><c> think</c><00:15:19.600><c> historically</c><00:15:20.159><c> that</c><00:15:20.460><c> you</c>

00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:24.820

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:26.879
must<00:15:24.960><c> only</c><00:15:25.299><c> prove</c><00:15:25.519><c> to</c><00:15:25.700><c> be</c><00:15:25.919><c> false.</c>

00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:31.039

not<00:15:31.340><c> comfort.</c>

00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:38.500

00:15:43.940 --> 00:15:46.360
And<00:15:44.159><c> we</c><00:15:44.279><c> want</c><00:15:44.460><c> to</c><00:15:44.659><c> itch</c><00:15:44.919><c> our</c><00:15:45.100><c> ears.</c><00:15:45.299><c> We</c><00:15:45.500><c> want</c><00:15:45.700><c> to</c><00:15:45.919><c> hear</c><00:15:46.059><c> things</c>

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.940
So<00:15:47.919><c> people</c><00:15:48.299><c> have</c><00:15:48.720><c> filled</c><00:15:48.960><c> their</c><00:15:49.259><c> churches</c><00:15:49.659><c> with</c><00:15:49.919><c> pastors</c><00:15:50.480><c> who</c>

00:21:45.099 --> 00:21:47.240
it's<00:21:45.240><c> because</c><00:21:45.500><c> we're</c><00:21:45.779><c> speaking</c><00:21:46.119><c> about</c><00:21:46.339><c> a</c><00:21:46.599><c> counsel</c><00:21:46.900><c> that</c><00:21:47.079><c> is</c>

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.680

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.279
And<00:22:02.680><c> then</c><00:22:02.920><c> when</c><00:22:03.240><c> we</c><00:22:03.440><c> consider</c><00:22:03.880><c> these</c><00:22:04.200><c> other</c><00:22:04.460><c> ideas</c><00:22:04.859><c> of</c><00:22:05.059><c> other</c>

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.079
If<00:22:08.779><c> they</c><00:22:09.059><c> speak</c><00:22:09.279><c> according</c><00:22:09.619><c> to</c><00:22:09.839><c> this</c><00:22:10.079><c> word,</c><00:22:10.400><c> it's</c><00:22:10.640><c> because</c><00:22:10.920><c> there's</c><00:22:11.220><c> light</c><00:22:11.420><c> in</c><00:22:11.579><c> them.</c>

00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.960
And<00:22:12.680><c> if</c><00:22:12.779><c> they</c><00:22:12.980><c> don't,</c><00:22:14.200><c> we</c><00:22:14.480><c> don't</c><00:22:14.759><c> need</c><00:22:14.960><c> to</c><00:22:15.140><c> be</c><00:22:15.359><c> concerned</c><00:22:15.720><c> or</c>

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.799
worried<00:22:16.200><c> about</c><00:22:16.460><c> it.</c>

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:18.920
It's<00:22:17.400><c> because</c><00:22:17.640><c> there's</c><00:22:17.940><c> no</c><00:22:18.119><c> light</c><00:22:18.319><c> in</c><00:22:18.500><c> them.</c>

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:24.339
And<00:22:20.019><c> I</c><00:22:20.160><c> think</c><00:22:20.319><c> that</c><00:22:20.460><c> is</c><00:22:20.680><c> a</c><00:22:20.839><c> very</c><00:22:21.180><c> privileged</c><00:22:21.660><c> and</c><00:22:22.160><c> very</c><00:22:22.500><c> wonderful</c><00:22:22.960><c> position</c><00:22:23.619><c> to</c><00:22:24.079><c> be</c>

in<00:22:24.599><c> in</c><00:22:24.859><c> life.</c>

00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:31.039
God<00:22:26.099><c> has</c><00:22:26.359><c> given</c><00:22:26.480><c> us</c><00:22:26.700><c> these</c><00:22:27.099><c> clear</c><00:22:27.759><c> boundaries</c><00:22:28.460><c> that</c><00:22:29.779><c> if</c><00:22:30.240><c> people</c><00:22:30.519><c> are</c><00:22:30.779><c> speaking,</c>

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.740
well<00:22:31.240><c> how</c><00:22:31.380><c> would</c><00:22:31.559><c> we</c><00:22:31.799><c> know</c><00:22:31.960><c> if</c><00:22:32.240><c> someone,</c><00:22:32.839><c> Saint</c><00:22:32.980><c> Ambrose</c><00:22:33.519><c> or</c>

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:36.279
some<00:22:34.079><c> saint</c><00:22:34.299><c> in</c><00:22:34.500><c> the</c><00:22:34.660><c> past,</c><00:22:35.140><c> ever</c><00:22:35.400><c> spoke</c><00:22:35.640><c> to</c><00:22:35.819><c> these</c><00:22:35.980><c> people?</c>

00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:43.099
Because<00:22:36.960><c> almost</c><00:22:37.819><c> always</c><00:22:38.940><c> that</c><00:22:39.859><c> is</c><00:22:40.119><c> the</c><00:22:40.420><c> device</c><00:22:40.900><c> of</c><00:22:41.500><c> that</c><00:22:41.819><c> organization</c><00:22:42.500><c> to</c>

00:22:43.099 --> 00:22:44.640
introduce<00:22:43.579><c> something</c><00:22:43.980><c> new.</c>

00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:50.500
Some<00:22:45.279><c> other</c><00:22:45.660><c> way</c><00:22:45.980><c> to</c><00:22:46.599><c> to</c><00:22:47.099><c> manipulate,</c><00:22:47.660><c> to</c><00:22:48.539><c> control</c><00:22:49.039><c> people's</c><00:22:49.640><c> lives.</c>

00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:53.240
Well,<00:22:51.039><c> does</c><00:22:51.359><c> the</c><00:22:51.559><c> scripture</c><00:22:51.880><c> say</c><00:22:52.180><c> it</c><00:22:52.400><c> or</c><00:22:52.539><c> doesn't</c><00:22:52.900><c> it?</c>

00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.859
So<00:22:53.539><c> you</c><00:22:53.799><c> soon</c><00:22:54.119><c> see</c><00:22:54.700><c> why</c><00:22:55.079><c> authority</c><00:22:55.599><c> is</c><00:22:55.859><c> such</c><00:22:56.019><c> a</c><00:22:56.279><c> key</c><00:22:56.460><c> thing.</c>

00:22:57.259 --> 00:23:01.059
It<00:22:57.460><c> comes</c><00:22:57.660><c> then</c><00:22:58.000><c> basically</c><00:22:58.539><c> back</c><00:22:58.940><c> is</c><00:22:59.259><c> whether</c><00:22:59.519><c> the</c><00:22:59.859><c> church</c><00:23:00.059><c> has</c><00:23:00.259><c> the</c><00:23:00.539><c> authority</c><00:23:00.819><c> to</c>

00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:01.759
say<00:23:01.200><c> these</c><00:23:01.460><c> things</c>

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:05.099
or<00:23:02.279><c> whether</c><00:23:02.519><c> the</c><00:23:02.839><c> authority</c><00:23:03.099><c> really</c><00:23:03.519><c> is</c><00:23:03.740><c> the</c><00:23:03.920><c> word</c><00:23:04.039><c> of</c><00:23:04.240><c> God.</c>

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:07.500
And<00:23:05.660><c> then</c><00:23:05.759><c> they</c><00:23:05.940><c> have</c><00:23:06.099><c> moved</c><00:23:06.319><c> into</c><00:23:06.579><c> that</c><00:23:06.859><c> area</c><00:23:07.079><c> to</c><00:23:07.240><c> say,</c><00:23:07.460><c> well,</c>

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:09.279
we're<00:23:07.700><c> the</c><00:23:07.920><c> mother</c><00:23:08.119><c> of</c><00:23:08.299><c> the</c><00:23:08.440><c> Bible.</c>

00:23:09.299 --> 00:23:12.319
So<00:23:09.599><c> we</c><00:23:09.900><c> really</c><00:23:10.180><c> determine</c><00:23:10.799><c> what</c><00:23:11.380><c> books</c><00:23:11.660><c> were</c><00:23:11.839><c> in</c><00:23:11.940><c> the</c><00:23:12.119><c> Bible.</c>

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.279
Well,<00:23:12.579><c> therefore,</c><00:23:13.140><c> we</c><00:23:13.460><c> are</c><00:23:13.859><c> the</c><00:23:14.099><c> mother.</c>

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:16.059
You<00:23:14.500><c> have</c><00:23:14.759><c> to</c><00:23:14.900><c> listen</c><00:23:15.140><c> to</c><00:23:15.380><c> us.</c>

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:18.799
Not<00:23:16.920><c> so,</c><00:23:17.500><c> brothers</c><00:23:17.539><c> and</c><00:23:17.839><c> sisters.</c>

00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.240
To<00:23:19.880><c> the</c><00:23:20.160><c> law</c><00:23:20.559><c> and</c><00:23:20.920><c> the</c><00:23:21.220><c> testimony.</c>

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:24.599
If<00:23:22.539><c> they</c><00:23:22.819><c> speak</c><00:23:23.119><c> according</c><00:23:23.539><c> to</c><00:23:23.759><c> that</c><00:23:23.960><c> word,</c><00:23:24.480><c> fine.</c>

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:27.140
If<00:23:24.819><c> they</c><00:23:25.119><c> don't,</c><00:23:25.480><c> there's</c><00:23:25.799><c> no</c><00:23:26.000><c> light</c><00:23:26.180><c> in</c><00:23:26.359><c> them.</c>

00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:29.160
Don't<00:23:27.980><c> forget</c><00:23:28.299><c> it,</c><00:23:28.579><c> brothers</c><00:23:28.779><c> and</c><00:23:29.019><c> sisters.</c>

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:30.819
That's<00:23:29.579><c> our</c><00:23:29.880><c> strength.</c>

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:34.160
That's<00:23:31.759><c> our</c><00:23:32.000><c> strength</c><00:23:32.240><c> for</c><00:23:32.500><c> a</c><00:23:32.740><c> little</c><00:23:32.960><c> people</c><00:23:33.460><c> in</c><00:23:33.880><c> the</c><00:23:33.980><c> midst</c>

00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:35.859

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:31.339
You<00:26:30.140><c> will</c><00:26:30.339><c> have</c><00:26:30.480><c> heard</c><00:26:30.619><c> this</c><00:26:30.900><c> before.</c>

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:35.759
Let<00:26:31.759><c> me</c><00:26:31.920><c> just</c><00:26:32.220><c> quickly</c><00:26:32.579><c> say</c><00:26:33.019><c> this</c><00:26:33.200><c> again,</c><00:26:33.680><c> that</c><00:26:33.980><c> this</c><00:26:34.299><c> is</c><00:26:34.640><c> a</c><00:26:34.759><c> cause</c><00:26:35.039><c> of</c><00:26:35.359><c> alarm</c>

00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:45.140
There<00:26:41.279><c> is</c><00:26:41.960><c> who</c><00:26:42.259><c> knows</c><00:26:42.599><c> how</c><00:26:43.140><c> many</c><00:26:43.500><c> translations</c><00:26:44.200><c> of</c><00:26:44.680><c> the</c><00:26:44.859><c> Bible</c>

in<00:26:45.480><c> English.</c>

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:48.900
So<00:26:46.779><c> you</c><00:26:46.920><c> could</c><00:26:47.079><c> put</c><00:26:47.299><c> a</c><00:26:47.420><c> list</c><00:26:47.559><c> together</c><00:26:47.940><c> like</c><00:26:48.279><c> this</c><00:26:48.460><c> of</c><00:26:48.660><c> the</c>

00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:53.880
You<00:26:50.500><c> could</c><00:26:50.900><c> give</c><00:26:51.480><c> all</c><00:26:51.720><c> their</c><00:26:51.880><c> little</c><00:26:52.180><c> code</c><00:26:52.480><c> names,</c><00:26:53.440><c> describe</c>

00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:58.339
But<00:26:56.000><c> don't</c><00:26:56.279><c> forget</c><00:26:56.740><c> the</c><00:26:57.039><c> last</c><00:26:57.400><c> column.</c>

00:26:58.420 --> 00:27:01.640
The<00:26:58.599><c> Bibles</c><00:26:58.920><c> can</c><00:26:59.359><c> be</c><00:26:59.700><c> differentiated</c><00:27:00.420><c> between</c><00:27:00.900><c> either</c><00:27:01.220><c> being</c>

00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:08.759
And<00:27:06.700><c> as</c><00:27:06.900><c> you</c><00:27:07.000><c> can</c><00:27:07.240><c> see,</c><00:27:07.460><c> a</c><00:27:07.559><c> number</c><00:27:07.779><c> of</c><00:27:07.859><c> them</c><00:27:07.940><c> are</c><00:27:08.160><c> both</c><00:27:08.420><c> literal</c>

00:27:10.299 --> 00:27:14.140
You<00:27:10.559><c> need</c><00:27:10.859><c> to</c><00:27:11.160><c> know,</c><00:27:11.579><c> brothers</c><00:27:11.680><c> and</c><00:27:11.960><c> sisters,</c><00:27:12.339><c> what</c><00:27:12.640><c> that</c><00:27:13.039><c> means.</c>

00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:28.299

00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:35.599
Let<00:27:33.859><c> me</c><00:27:34.019><c> give</c><00:27:34.140><c> you</c><00:27:34.240><c> an</c><00:27:34.400><c> example.</c>

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:46.240
This<00:27:39.299><c> idea</c><00:27:39.859><c> of</c><00:27:41.299><c> dynamic</c><00:27:42.019><c> and</c><00:27:44.279><c> literal</c><00:27:45.000><c> translation,</c>

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.339
if<00:27:47.220><c> I</c><00:27:47.259><c> can</c><00:27:47.400><c> just</c><00:27:47.680><c> find</c><00:27:47.839><c> my</c><00:27:48.220><c> right</c><00:27:48.400><c> transparency</c><00:27:49.039><c> here,</c>

00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.079
We<00:27:52.220><c> can</c><00:27:52.480><c> still</c><00:27:52.680><c> deal</c><00:27:52.859><c> with</c><00:27:53.000><c> it.</c>

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:57.339
Oh,<00:27:55.480><c> I</c><00:27:55.579><c> have</c><00:27:55.720><c> it</c><00:27:55.880><c> here.</c><00:27:56.220><c> Just</c><00:27:56.680><c> misplaced</c><00:27:57.039><c> it.</c>

00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:59.480
This<00:27:57.660><c> is</c><00:27:57.839><c> the</c><00:27:57.920><c> one</c><00:27:58.019><c> I</c><00:27:58.119><c> want</c><00:27:58.240><c> to</c><00:27:58.480><c> show</c><00:27:58.619><c> you.</c>

00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:03.099
Here<00:28:01.039><c> is</c><00:28:01.579><c> the</c><00:28:02.019><c> problem.</c>

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:08.779
A<00:28:05.319><c> literal</c><00:28:05.680><c> translation</c><00:28:06.420><c> takes</c><00:28:06.960><c> a</c><00:28:07.460><c> Greek</c><00:28:07.740><c> or</c><00:28:08.039><c> a</c><00:28:08.160><c> Hebrew</c><00:28:08.359><c> word</c>

00:28:08.779 --> 00:28:11.720
and<00:28:09.059><c> does</c><00:28:09.240><c> the</c><00:28:09.480><c> best</c><00:28:09.720><c> they</c><00:28:09.980><c> can</c><00:28:10.339><c> with</c><00:28:10.640><c> English.</c>

00:28:12.700 --> 00:28:16.440
Sometimes<00:28:13.240><c> there</c><00:28:13.440><c> is</c><00:28:13.740><c> no</c><00:28:14.000><c> equivalent,</c><00:28:15.099><c> and</c><00:28:15.359><c> so</c><00:28:15.500><c> there's</c><00:28:15.740><c> an</c><00:28:15.980><c> awkwardness.</c>

00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:18.740
We've<00:28:16.759><c> got</c><00:28:16.900><c> used</c><00:28:17.079><c> to</c><00:28:17.220><c> it</c><00:28:17.339><c> because</c><00:28:17.539><c> we</c><00:28:17.779><c> use</c><00:28:17.920><c> the</c><00:28:18.160><c> King</c><00:28:18.359><c> James.</c>

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:21.839
And<00:28:19.319><c> the</c><00:28:19.460><c> King</c><00:28:19.640><c> James</c><00:28:19.920><c> was</c><00:28:20.180><c> a</c><00:28:20.380><c> literal</c><00:28:20.720><c> translation.</c>

00:28:22.420 --> 00:28:25.059
So<00:28:22.819><c> all</c><00:28:23.079><c> scripture</c><00:28:23.460><c> is</c><00:28:23.700><c> given</c><00:28:23.859><c> by</c><00:28:24.099><c> inspiration</c><00:28:24.579><c> of</c><00:28:24.759><c> God</c>

00:28:25.059 --> 00:28:27.099

00:28:27.099 --> 00:28:30.720
But<00:28:28.160><c> in</c><00:28:28.740><c> the</c><00:28:28.960><c> Igbo</c><00:28:29.160><c> Bible</c><00:28:29.480><c> of</c><00:28:29.619><c> Nigeria,</c>

it<00:28:32.900><c> says</c><00:28:33.119><c> all</c><00:28:33.579><c> scripture</c><00:28:33.980><c> comes</c><00:28:34.339><c> from</c><00:28:34.660><c> the</c><00:28:35.140><c> heart</c><00:28:35.380><c> of</c><00:28:35.640><c> God</c>

00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:39.200
because<00:28:36.319><c> there</c><00:28:36.759><c> was</c><00:28:37.059><c> no</c><00:28:37.460><c> equivalent</c><00:28:37.980><c> word</c><00:28:38.299><c> of</c><00:28:38.619><c> inspiration</c>

00:28:43.059 --> 00:28:44.940
So<00:28:43.319><c> people</c><00:28:43.579><c> just</c><00:28:43.859><c> took</c><00:28:44.000><c> a</c><00:28:44.180><c> shot</c><00:28:44.299><c> at</c><00:28:44.500><c> it</c><00:28:44.640><c> and</c><00:28:44.819><c> said,</c>

00:28:45.099 --> 00:28:46.380
well,<00:28:45.259><c> inspiration,</c><00:28:45.960><c> heart.</c>

00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:50.200
But<00:28:46.819><c> it's</c><00:28:47.039><c> not</c><00:28:47.400><c> really</c><00:28:47.880><c> what</c><00:28:48.279><c> was</c><00:28:48.579><c> there</c><00:28:48.799><c> in</c><00:28:49.000><c> the</c><00:28:49.220><c> Greek.</c>

00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:01.640
But<00:28:59.339><c> in</c><00:28:59.619><c> the</c><00:28:59.940><c> Chokwe</c><00:29:00.259><c> language</c><00:29:00.839><c> of</c><00:29:01.279><c> Africa,</c>

00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.779
it<00:29:02.019><c> can't</c><00:29:02.539><c> say</c><00:29:02.759><c> that</c><00:29:03.019><c> because</c><00:29:03.420><c> beat</c><00:29:03.680><c> upon</c><00:29:03.960><c> its</c><00:29:04.279><c> breast</c>

00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:07.700
is<00:29:05.920><c> not</c><00:29:06.480><c> contrition.</c>

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.059
It's<00:29:08.500><c> exaltation.</c>

00:29:09.099 --> 00:29:11.500
It's<00:29:09.299><c> the</c><00:29:09.359><c> very</c><00:29:09.579><c> opposite</c><00:29:10.019><c> thing</c><00:29:10.259><c> of</c><00:29:10.420><c> what</c><00:29:10.619><c> the</c><00:29:10.940><c> context</c>

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:13.700
is<00:29:12.339><c> leading</c><00:29:12.599><c> up</c><00:29:12.920><c> to</c><00:29:13.039><c> when</c><00:29:13.180><c> it</c><00:29:13.400><c> says,</c>

00:29:14.099 --> 00:29:15.259
but<00:29:14.140><c> smote</c><00:29:14.420><c> upon</c><00:29:14.680><c> his</c><00:29:14.960><c> breast.</c>

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:19.519
So<00:29:15.799><c> they</c><00:29:16.019><c> changed</c><00:29:16.400><c> it</c><00:29:17.259><c> to</c><00:29:17.960><c> beat</c><00:29:18.240><c> his</c><00:29:18.559><c> brows.</c>

00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:22.980
Now<00:29:21.140><c> you</c><00:29:21.279><c> might</c><00:29:21.440><c> applaud</c><00:29:21.759><c> those</c><00:29:22.039><c> two</c><00:29:22.259><c> cases</c><00:29:22.579><c> and</c><00:29:22.880><c> say,</c>

00:29:22.980 --> 00:29:24.759
well,<00:29:23.079><c> that's</c><00:29:23.319><c> the</c><00:29:23.519><c> best</c><00:29:23.660><c> the</c><00:29:24.059><c> translators</c><00:29:24.339><c> could</c><00:29:24.579><c> do</c>

00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:28.420
because<00:29:25.480><c> if</c><00:29:26.099><c> they</c><00:29:26.259><c> had</c><00:29:26.619><c> translated</c><00:29:27.079><c> it</c><00:29:27.440><c> literally,</c>

00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:30.880
the<00:29:28.660><c> people</c><00:29:28.900><c> would</c><00:29:29.079><c> have</c><00:29:29.240><c> got</c><00:29:29.420><c> the</c><00:29:29.660><c> wrong</c><00:29:29.819><c> message.</c>

00:29:32.339 --> 00:29:34.099
But<00:29:32.500><c> this</c><00:29:32.660><c> is</c><00:29:32.839><c> where</c><00:29:33.000><c> it</c><00:29:33.160><c> leads.</c>

00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:39.000
Here<00:29:36.859><c> is</c><00:29:37.160><c> a</c><00:29:37.460><c> critical</c><00:29:37.900><c> passage</c><00:29:38.339><c> of</c><00:29:38.559><c> scripture</c>

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:42.019
where<00:29:39.960><c> we</c><00:29:40.279><c> have</c><00:29:40.500><c> debated</c><00:29:40.900><c> with</c><00:29:41.220><c> Trinitarians</c>

00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:45.019

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:50.599
So<00:29:46.279><c> in</c><00:29:46.880><c> this</c><00:29:47.500><c> inner</c><00:29:48.000><c> linear</c><00:29:48.339><c> Greek</c><00:29:48.779><c> English</c><00:29:49.319><c> New</c><00:29:49.579><c> Testament,</c>

00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:54.819
it's<00:29:51.359><c> not</c><00:29:51.839><c> flowing,</c><00:29:52.880><c> but</c><00:29:53.160><c> it's</c><00:29:54.140><c> inner</c><00:29:54.460><c> linear.</c>

00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:57.119

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:11.079
The<00:30:09.720><c> King</c><00:30:09.920><c> James</c><00:30:10.200><c> came</c><00:30:10.460><c> along</c><00:30:10.720><c> and</c><00:30:10.940><c> said,</c>

00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:22.599
Well,<00:30:21.480><c> we</c><00:30:21.599><c> could</c><00:30:21.700><c> go</c><00:30:21.940><c> back</c><00:30:22.119><c> to</c><00:30:22.279><c> the</c><00:30:22.480><c> Greek</c>

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:31.859
that<00:33:27.640><c> certainly</c><00:33:27.980><c> will</c><00:33:28.240><c> occur</c><00:33:28.640><c> at</c><00:33:29.059><c> the</c><00:33:29.359><c> time</c><00:33:29.559><c> period</c><00:33:29.839><c> that</c><00:33:30.059><c> God</c><00:33:30.700><c> suggests.</c>

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:34.740
If<00:33:32.079><c> we</c><00:33:32.319><c> are</c><00:33:32.480><c> living</c><00:33:32.660><c> at</c><00:33:32.859><c> the</c><00:33:33.119><c> time</c><00:33:33.420><c> of</c><00:33:33.640><c> the</c><00:33:33.859><c> coming</c><00:33:34.039><c> of</c><00:33:34.220><c> the</c><00:33:34.380><c> Lord,</c>

00:33:36.980 --> 00:33:40.859
that<00:33:37.619><c> the</c><00:33:37.880><c> people</c><00:33:38.119><c> that</c><00:33:38.420><c> we</c><00:33:38.700><c> would</c><00:33:39.059><c> call</c><00:33:39.420><c> out</c><00:33:39.839><c> of</c><00:33:40.019><c> that</c><00:33:40.220><c> organization</c>

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.960
And<00:33:48.859><c> certainly</c><00:33:49.079><c> we</c><00:33:49.220><c> know</c><00:33:49.500><c> it</c><00:33:49.680><c> would</c><00:33:49.839><c> apply</c><00:33:50.119><c> to</c><00:33:50.319><c> God's</c><00:33:50.740><c> people,</c>

the<00:33:51.259><c> Jews,</c>

00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:53.900

00:33:56.140 --> 00:33:58.180
when<00:33:56.960><c> the</c><00:33:57.240><c> judgment</c><00:33:57.539><c> goes</c><00:33:57.920><c> forth.</c>

00:33:58.220 --> 00:34:00.460
As<00:33:58.339><c> he</c><00:33:58.579><c> says</c><00:33:58.740><c> in</c><00:33:58.900><c> Ezekiel</c><00:33:59.240><c> 39,</c>

00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:03.140
he<00:34:00.500><c> will</c><00:34:00.759><c> send</c><00:34:00.980><c> a</c><00:34:01.380><c> fire</c><00:34:01.640><c> upon</c><00:34:02.039><c> Magog.</c>

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:04.680
There<00:34:03.339><c> may</c><00:34:03.519><c> be</c><00:34:03.720><c> a</c><00:34:03.859><c> judgment</c><00:34:04.059><c> in</c><00:34:04.240><c> the</c><00:34:04.420><c> land,</c>

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:08.760
but<00:34:04.839><c> it's</c><00:34:05.119><c> got</c><00:34:05.200><c> to</c><00:34:05.539><c> spread</c><00:34:05.779><c> out</c><00:34:06.380><c> so</c><00:34:06.740><c> that</c><00:34:06.940><c> God</c><00:34:07.259><c> might</c><00:34:07.640><c> bring</c>

00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:10.179
the<00:34:09.780><c> kingdom</c>

00:34:10.179 --> 00:34:12.579
to<00:34:10.780><c> have</c><00:34:10.920><c> its</c><00:34:11.239><c> focus</c><00:34:11.679><c> in</c><00:34:12.019><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.159
So<00:34:17.159><c> what</c><00:34:17.280><c> would</c><00:34:17.440><c> you</c><00:34:17.599><c> say</c><00:34:17.760><c> to</c><00:34:17.960><c> a</c><00:34:18.059><c> Roman</c><00:34:18.260><c> Catholic?</c>

00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:22.360
Well,<00:34:20.099><c> brothers</c><00:34:20.400><c> and</c><00:34:20.679><c> sisters,</c><00:34:21.000><c> consider</c><00:34:21.579><c> this.</c>

00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:25.400
What<00:34:23.219><c> could</c><00:34:23.460><c> you</c><00:34:23.800><c> say</c><00:34:24.159><c> more</c><00:34:24.699><c> appropriate</c>

00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:28.380
to<00:34:26.280><c> the</c><00:34:26.519><c> very</c><00:34:26.780><c> times</c><00:34:27.219><c> in</c><00:34:27.380><c> which</c><00:34:27.500><c> we're</c><00:34:27.739><c> talking</c><00:34:28.079><c> about?</c>

00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.739
We<00:34:29.000><c> mentioned</c><00:34:29.300><c> yesterday</c><00:34:29.719><c> it's</c><00:34:30.019><c> like</c><00:34:30.179><c> the</c><00:34:30.480><c> time</c><00:34:30.679><c> of</c><00:34:30.960><c> lot.</c>

00:34:32.340 --> 00:34:34.960
You<00:34:32.659><c> consider</c><00:34:33.079><c> in</c><00:34:33.239><c> your</c><00:34:33.440><c> mind</c><00:34:33.619><c> you've</c><00:34:33.900><c> got</c><00:34:34.059><c> minutes.</c>

00:34:35.219 --> 00:34:37.639
You<00:34:35.460><c> may</c><00:34:35.639><c> not</c><00:34:35.880><c> have</c><00:34:36.679><c> any</c><00:34:37.079><c> more</c><00:34:37.360><c> time</c>

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.500
because<00:34:38.039><c> it's</c><00:34:38.440><c> an</c><00:34:38.679><c> acquaintance</c><00:34:39.059><c> you've</c><00:34:39.340><c> made</c>

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:41.460
you<00:34:39.699><c> don't</c><00:34:39.880><c> expect</c><00:34:40.260><c> to</c><00:34:40.480><c> see</c><00:34:40.639><c> again.</c>

00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:43.980
Or<00:34:41.760><c> it</c><00:34:41.900><c> may</c><00:34:42.039><c> be</c><00:34:42.500><c> an</c><00:34:42.940><c> associate</c><00:34:43.320><c> at</c><00:34:43.659><c> work</c>

00:34:43.980 --> 00:34:45.400
that<00:34:44.219><c> you</c><00:34:44.400><c> expect</c><00:34:44.739><c> to</c><00:34:44.960><c> see</c><00:34:45.079><c> again</c>

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:48.300
where<00:34:45.780><c> you</c><00:34:45.960><c> may</c><00:34:46.139><c> take</c><00:34:46.440><c> some</c><00:34:46.900><c> kind</c><00:34:47.239><c> of</c><00:34:47.400><c> a</c><00:34:47.619><c> different</c><00:34:47.880><c> tact</c>

00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:52.980
but<00:34:49.079><c> what</c><00:34:49.480><c> would</c><00:34:49.960><c> be</c><00:34:50.340><c> wrong</c><00:34:50.780><c> with</c><00:34:51.159><c> saying</c><00:34:51.460><c> what</c><00:34:51.739><c> the</c><00:34:51.960><c> verse</c><00:34:52.179><c> says</c>

00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:56.719
and<00:34:54.039><c> telling</c><00:34:54.260><c> the</c><00:34:54.420><c> person</c><00:34:54.699><c> you've</c><00:34:54.980><c> got</c><00:34:55.039><c> to</c><00:34:55.159><c> get</c><00:34:55.280><c> out</c><00:34:55.400><c> of</c><00:34:55.519><c> that</c><00:34:55.659><c> organization?</c>

00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:59.360
The<00:34:57.840><c> Bible</c><00:34:58.119><c> says</c><00:34:58.599><c> it</c><00:34:58.960><c> appeals.</c>

00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.320
It<00:34:59.599><c> says,</c><00:35:00.500><c> my</c><00:35:00.559><c> people,</c><00:35:01.079><c> get</c><00:35:01.420><c> out.</c>

00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:03.940
What<00:35:02.719><c> could</c><00:35:02.860><c> be</c><00:35:03.019><c> more</c><00:35:03.360><c> sensitive?</c>

00:35:04.420 --> 00:35:07.019
What<00:35:04.579><c> could</c><00:35:04.739><c> be</c><00:35:04.960><c> more</c><00:35:05.840><c> proper</c><00:35:06.260><c> and</c><00:35:06.599><c> appropriate</c>

00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:10.139
than<00:35:07.280><c> God's</c><00:35:07.800><c> words</c><00:35:08.199><c> here</c><00:35:08.940><c> itself?</c>

00:35:10.300 --> 00:35:11.559
My<00:35:10.659><c> people.</c>

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:14.280
You're<00:35:12.079><c> not</c><00:35:12.239><c> putting</c><00:35:12.480><c> people</c><00:35:12.820><c> down</c><00:35:13.099><c> by</c><00:35:13.360><c> saying</c><00:35:13.539><c> you</c><00:35:13.980><c> are</c>

00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:15.019
God's<00:35:14.780><c> people</c>

00:35:15.019 --> 00:35:16.400
and<00:35:15.119><c> he</c><00:35:15.280><c> says</c><00:35:15.440><c> get</c><00:35:15.739><c> out</c><00:35:15.920><c> of</c><00:35:16.119><c> them,</c>

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:21.880
So<00:35:18.300><c> I</c><00:35:18.460><c> think</c><00:35:18.800><c> the</c><00:35:19.059><c> verse</c><00:35:19.219><c> itself</c><00:35:20.019><c> provides</c><00:35:20.579><c> the</c><00:35:20.860><c> answer.</c>

00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:26.039
To<00:35:22.380><c> say</c><00:35:22.579><c> to</c><00:35:22.760><c> a</c><00:35:22.900><c> person,</c><00:35:23.940><c> you've</c><00:35:24.079><c> got</c><00:35:24.119><c> to</c><00:35:24.219><c> get</c><00:35:24.300><c> out</c><00:35:24.440><c> of</c><00:35:24.579><c> that</c><00:35:24.880><c> organization.</c>

00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:29.880
God's<00:35:26.760><c> word</c><00:35:26.960><c> says,</c><00:35:27.920><c> my</c><00:35:27.960><c> people,</c><00:35:28.639><c> come</c><00:35:29.000><c> out.</c>

00:35:30.019 --> 00:35:33.900
That<00:35:30.179><c> you</c><00:35:30.420><c> don't</c><00:35:30.659><c> be</c><00:35:30.940><c> involved</c><00:35:31.219><c> in</c><00:35:31.420><c> the</c><00:35:31.659><c> sins</c><00:35:32.119><c> nor</c><00:35:32.679><c> in</c><00:35:32.840><c> the</c><00:35:33.039><c> plagues.</c>

00:35:34.619 --> 00:35:37.980
You<00:35:34.800><c> see,</c><00:35:35.119><c> the</c><00:35:35.280><c> verse</c><00:35:35.579><c> is</c><00:35:36.360><c> set</c><00:35:36.880><c> and</c><00:35:37.400><c> constructed</c>

He<00:35:45.599><c> wouldn't</c><00:35:45.880><c> have</c><00:35:46.119><c> had</c><00:35:46.280><c> a</c><00:35:46.500><c> half</c><00:35:46.980><c> hour</c><00:35:47.260><c> dissertation</c>

00:35:47.980 --> 00:35:49.480
on<00:35:48.239><c> how</c><00:35:48.460><c> the</c><00:35:48.719><c> angels</c><00:35:49.000><c> have</c><00:35:49.280><c> come.</c>

00:35:49.739 --> 00:35:52.659
It<00:35:49.860><c> was</c><00:35:50.039><c> immediately,</c><00:35:50.920><c> get</c><00:35:50.920><c> out</c><00:35:51.219><c> of</c><00:35:51.400><c> this</c><00:35:51.679><c> place.</c>

00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:55.320
What<00:35:53.699><c> do</c><00:35:53.840><c> you</c><00:35:53.940><c> think</c><00:35:54.079><c> happened</c><00:35:54.539><c> in</c><00:35:54.719><c> the</c><00:35:54.880><c> wilderness</c>

00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:58.820
when<00:35:56.139><c> the</c><00:35:56.360><c> time</c><00:35:56.539><c> of</c><00:35:56.860><c> Korah,</c><00:35:57.659><c> Dathan,</c><00:35:57.900><c> and</c><00:35:58.039><c> Abiram</c>

00:35:58.820 --> 00:36:00.480
and<00:35:59.059><c> they</c><00:35:59.300><c> rebelled</c><00:35:59.639><c> against</c><00:35:59.960><c> Moses</c>

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:05.840
I'll<00:36:04.219><c> consume</c><00:36:04.659><c> them</c><00:36:04.800><c> in</c><00:36:04.900><c> a</c><00:36:05.019><c> moment.</c>

00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.139
And<00:36:06.119><c> as</c><00:36:06.300><c> a</c><00:36:06.500><c> result,</c><00:36:06.800><c> the</c><00:36:06.920><c> message</c><00:36:07.139><c> was</c><00:36:07.400><c> to</c><00:36:07.619><c> get</c><00:36:07.760><c> away</c><00:36:07.960><c> from</c>

00:36:08.139 --> 00:36:08.760
these<00:36:08.400><c> people.</c>

00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:10.079
And<00:36:09.500><c> God</c><00:36:09.699><c> did.</c>

00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:12.840
He<00:36:10.639><c> created</c><00:36:10.900><c> a</c><00:36:11.079><c> new</c><00:36:11.280><c> thing</c><00:36:11.579><c> and</c><00:36:11.840><c> the</c><00:36:12.000><c> earth</c><00:36:12.280><c> opened</c><00:36:12.619><c> up</c>

00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.500
and<00:36:13.320><c> swaddled</c><00:36:13.559><c> everyone</c><00:36:13.980><c> that</c><00:36:14.179><c> was</c><00:36:14.300><c> in</c><00:36:14.460><c> that</c><00:36:14.699><c> area.</c>

00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:18.019
That's<00:36:16.599><c> the</c><00:36:17.099><c> gist</c><00:36:17.440><c> of</c><00:36:17.599><c> it.</c>

00:36:18.300 --> 00:36:21.519
We<00:36:18.519><c> can't</c><00:36:18.900><c> afford,</c><00:36:19.340><c> really,</c><00:36:20.039><c> to</c><00:36:20.300><c> go</c><00:36:20.519><c> into</c><00:36:20.780><c> these</c><00:36:21.119><c> ways</c>

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:23.599
where<00:36:21.739><c> we</c><00:36:22.000><c> play</c><00:36:22.179><c> games</c><00:36:22.519><c> with</c><00:36:22.739><c> people</c><00:36:23.039><c> at</c><00:36:23.300><c> times.</c>

00:36:24.099 --> 00:36:25.760
And<00:36:24.280><c> we</c><00:36:24.800><c> allude</c><00:36:25.239><c> to</c><00:36:25.519><c> something,</c>

00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:27.860
but<00:36:25.920><c> we</c><00:36:26.079><c> don't</c><00:36:26.260><c> really</c><00:36:26.559><c> tell</c><00:36:26.760><c> them</c><00:36:27.019><c> something.</c>

00:36:28.139 --> 00:36:31.280
The<00:36:28.400><c> message</c><00:36:28.699><c> is,</c><00:36:29.380><c> get</c><00:36:29.519><c> out</c><00:36:29.739><c> of</c><00:36:29.880><c> that</c><00:36:30.099><c> organization.</c>

00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:34.900
And<00:36:32.460><c> if</c><00:36:32.559><c> there's</c><00:36:32.820><c> anything</c><00:36:33.119><c> that</c><00:36:33.320><c> makes</c><00:36:33.480><c> us</c><00:36:33.659><c> a</c><00:36:33.760><c> little</c><00:36:33.960><c> sweeter,</c>

00:36:35.619 --> 00:36:37.599
my<00:36:35.820><c> people,</c><00:36:36.579><c> get</c><00:36:36.800><c> out.</c>

00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:39.900
I<00:36:38.139><c> think</c><00:36:38.340><c> that's</c><00:36:38.659><c> a</c><00:36:38.840><c> reasonable</c><00:36:39.380><c> appeal.</c>

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:42.639
If<00:36:40.480><c> they</c><00:36:40.739><c> ask</c><00:36:41.019><c> you,</c><00:36:41.360><c> well,</c><00:36:41.440><c> you</c><00:36:41.579><c> know,</c><00:36:41.760><c> how</c><00:36:41.840><c> do</c><00:36:42.019><c> you</c><00:36:42.119><c> know</c>

00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:44.659
that<00:36:43.360><c> this</c><00:36:43.639><c> is</c><00:36:43.840><c> that</c><00:36:44.059><c> organization?</c>

00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:46.099
Well,<00:36:44.980><c> you</c><00:36:44.980><c> say,</c><00:36:45.300><c> well,</c><00:36:45.380><c> the</c><00:36:45.480><c> Bible</c><00:36:45.739><c> says</c>

00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:47.860
that<00:36:46.579><c> it</c><00:36:46.739><c> had</c><00:36:46.860><c> to</c><00:36:47.019><c> be</c><00:36:47.119><c> an</c><00:36:47.340><c> organization</c>

00:36:47.860 --> 00:36:51.119
that<00:36:48.360><c> existed</c><00:36:48.739><c> from</c><00:36:48.980><c> the</c><00:36:49.260><c> first</c><00:36:49.440><c> century</c><00:36:49.900><c> right</c><00:36:50.380><c> till</c><00:36:50.579><c> now.</c>

00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:52.400
And<00:36:51.679><c> there</c><00:36:51.800><c> is</c><00:36:51.960><c> only</c><00:36:52.219><c> one.</c>

00:36:52.420 --> 00:36:53.900
That's<00:36:52.679><c> the</c><00:36:52.800><c> Roman</c><00:36:53.039><c> Catholic</c><00:36:53.400><c> Church.</c>

00:36:54.139 --> 00:36:56.300
And<00:36:54.340><c> that's</c><00:36:54.519><c> the</c><00:36:54.559><c> way</c><00:36:54.679><c> they</c><00:36:55.019><c> sell</c><00:36:55.159><c> themselves.</c>

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:58.679
They'll<00:36:57.179><c> buy</c><00:36:57.360><c> into</c><00:36:57.559><c> that.</c>

00:36:58.739 --> 00:37:01.840
It<00:36:58.980><c> was</c><00:36:59.239><c> called</c><00:36:59.480><c> Babylon,</c><00:37:00.960><c> Babylon</c><00:37:01.260><c> the</c><00:37:01.559><c> Great.</c>

00:37:02.139 --> 00:37:04.780
Did<00:37:02.360><c> you</c><00:37:02.500><c> know</c><00:37:02.659><c> that</c><00:37:02.880><c> your</c><00:37:03.119><c> church,</c><00:37:03.780><c> your</c><00:37:04.059><c> church</c><00:37:04.420><c> leaders</c>

00:37:04.780 --> 00:37:07.320
recognize<00:37:05.719><c> that</c><00:37:06.400><c> Rome</c><00:37:06.639><c> is</c><00:37:06.920><c> Babylon?</c>

00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:10.559
You<00:37:08.039><c> see,</c><00:37:08.659><c> this</c><00:37:08.880><c> is</c><00:37:09.119><c> telling</c><00:37:09.460><c> them</c><00:37:09.960><c> things</c>

00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:14.079
that<00:37:10.880><c> their</c><00:37:11.179><c> church</c><00:37:11.820><c> says</c><00:37:12.300><c> about</c><00:37:13.000><c> themselves.</c>

00:37:14.340 --> 00:37:15.780
You<00:37:14.400><c> don't</c><00:37:14.519><c> have</c><00:37:14.719><c> to</c><00:37:15.079><c> provide</c><00:37:15.400><c> anything</c>

00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:17.800

00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:20.679
Just<00:37:18.380><c> use</c><00:37:18.880><c> the</c><00:37:19.360><c> verse</c><00:37:19.559><c> itself.</c>

00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:22.300
Come<00:37:20.860><c> out</c><00:37:21.099><c> of</c><00:37:21.219><c> her.</c>

00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.579
That<00:37:22.519><c> you</c><00:37:22.780><c> don't</c><00:37:23.119><c> be</c><00:37:23.400><c> partaker</c><00:37:23.739><c> of</c><00:37:23.940><c> her</c><00:37:24.159><c> sins</c>

00:37:24.579 --> 00:37:27.639
and<00:37:25.000><c> that</c><00:37:25.119><c> you</c><00:37:25.420><c> receive</c><00:37:25.800><c> not</c><00:37:26.079><c> of</c><00:37:26.380><c> her</c><00:37:26.659><c> plagues.</c>

00:37:27.699 --> 00:37:29.320
And<00:37:27.820><c> if</c><00:37:27.900><c> you</c><00:37:28.079><c> have</c><00:37:28.260><c> to,</c><00:37:28.519><c> then</c><00:37:28.599><c> you</c><00:37:28.719><c> can</c><00:37:28.880><c> go</c><00:37:29.099><c> on</c>

00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:31.320
to<00:37:29.579><c> talk</c><00:37:29.760><c> about</c><00:37:30.019><c> the</c><00:37:30.239><c> immortality</c><00:37:30.739><c> of</c><00:37:30.920><c> the</c><00:37:31.119><c> soul</c>

00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:34.380
and<00:37:31.440><c> how</c><00:37:32.000><c> if</c><00:37:32.659><c> it's</c><00:37:33.000><c> wrong</c><00:37:33.219><c> on</c><00:37:33.360><c> the</c><00:37:33.480><c> immortality</c><00:37:33.880><c> of</c><00:37:34.059><c> the</c><00:37:34.179><c> soul,</c>

00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:35.500

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:37.960
There<00:37:36.880><c> is</c><00:37:37.159><c> no</c><00:37:37.320><c> purgatory.</c>

00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:38.960
There<00:37:38.280><c> is</c><00:37:38.539><c> no</c><00:37:38.719><c> heaven.</c>

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:40.099
There<00:37:39.300><c> is</c><00:37:39.579><c> no</c><00:37:39.780><c> hell.</c>

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:41.579

00:37:41.619 --> 00:37:43.519
There<00:37:41.760><c> is</c><00:37:42.019><c> nothing</c><00:37:42.320><c> for</c><00:37:42.619><c> Mary</c><00:37:42.960><c> being</c><00:37:43.219><c> in</c><00:37:43.380><c> heaven</c>

as<00:37:43.739><c> an</c><00:37:43.900><c> intercessor.</c>

00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:47.659
If<00:37:46.480><c> you</c><00:37:46.599><c> haven't</c><00:37:46.780><c> got</c><00:37:46.980><c> their</c><00:37:47.159><c> attention,</c>

00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:54.019

So<00:40:38.940><c> we</c><00:40:39.119><c> must</c><00:40:39.400><c> earnestly</c><00:40:40.000><c> contend</c><00:40:40.719><c> for</c><00:40:40.980><c> the</c><00:40:41.219><c> faith.</c>
