00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.299

the<00:25:42.079><c> woman.</c>

00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:47.039
And<00:25:43.799><c> the</c><00:25:43.920><c> logic</c><00:25:44.180><c> of</c><00:25:44.400><c> Paul's</c><00:25:44.720><c> argument</c><00:25:45.000><c> is</c><00:25:45.200><c> that</c><00:25:45.299><c> if</c><00:25:45.440><c> that</c><00:25:45.640><c> was</c><00:25:45.900><c> true,</c>

00:26:04.859 --> 00:26:07.420

00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:13.140
God<00:26:07.839><c> established</c><00:26:08.339><c> a</c><00:26:08.680><c> hierarchy</c><00:26:09.140><c> between</c><00:26:09.940><c> men</c><00:26:10.680><c> and</c><00:26:12.019><c> women.</c>

00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:15.180
And<00:26:13.859><c> then</c><00:26:14.000><c> he</c><00:26:14.039><c> says</c><00:26:14.200><c> in</c><00:26:14.339><c> verse</c><00:26:14.579><c> 14,</c>

00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:19.160

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:23.619
Now<00:26:21.079><c> I</c><00:26:21.119><c> think</c><00:26:21.279><c> it's</c><00:26:21.559><c> helpful</c><00:26:22.059><c> in</c><00:26:22.559><c> the</c><00:26:22.720><c> context</c><00:26:23.119><c> of</c><00:26:23.279><c> the</c><00:26:23.440><c> first</c>

00:26:32.859 --> 00:26:37.259
He's<00:26:33.039><c> not</c><00:26:33.299><c> exempting</c><00:26:33.940><c> Adam</c><00:26:34.400><c> in</c><00:26:35.519><c> this</c><00:26:35.759><c> particular</c><00:26:36.259><c> matter.</c>

The<00:26:37.940><c> reality</c><00:26:38.359><c> is</c><00:26:39.039><c> that</c><00:26:39.660><c> both</c><00:26:40.079><c> Adam</c><00:26:40.700><c> and</c><00:26:41.319><c> Eve</c><00:26:41.960><c> failed</c><00:26:42.740><c> in</c><00:26:43.119><c> the</c>

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:48.279
They<00:26:44.799><c> both</c><00:26:45.400><c> fell</c><00:26:45.839><c> short</c><00:26:46.259><c> of</c><00:26:46.440><c> the</c><00:26:46.619><c> divine</c><00:26:47.059><c> glory.</c>

When<00:30:01.440><c> it</c><00:30:01.519><c> says</c><00:30:01.619><c> that</c><00:30:01.779><c> God</c><00:30:01.940><c> is</c><00:30:02.119><c> willing</c><00:30:02.259><c> that</c><00:30:02.480><c> all</c><00:30:02.759><c> men</c><00:30:03.079><c> should</c>

be<00:30:03.500><c> saved,</c>

00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:06.839
he<00:30:03.759><c> means</c><00:30:04.019><c> all</c><00:30:04.339><c> males</c><00:30:04.660><c> and</c><00:30:04.880><c> all</c><00:30:05.099><c> females,</c><00:30:05.700><c> all</c><00:30:05.880><c> men</c><00:30:06.140><c> and</c><00:30:06.420><c> all</c><00:30:06.599><c> women,</c>

00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:10.740
because<00:30:07.180><c> from</c><00:30:07.440><c> the</c><00:30:07.619><c> beginning</c><00:30:07.920><c> they</c><00:30:08.240><c> were</c><00:30:08.480><c> all</c><00:30:08.720><c> given</c><00:30:08.900><c> the</c><00:30:09.180><c> divine</c><00:30:09.539><c> capacity</c><00:30:10.259><c> to</c>

00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:14.339
manifest<00:30:11.140><c> the</c><00:30:11.400><c> likeness</c><00:30:11.740><c> and</c><00:30:11.900><c> the</c><00:30:12.039><c> glory</c><00:30:12.259><c> of</c><00:30:12.400><c> God</c><00:30:12.700><c> in</c><00:30:13.019><c> their</c><00:30:13.259><c> minds.</c>

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:20.279
So<00:30:16.339><c> when</c><00:30:16.500><c> it</c><00:30:16.599><c> says</c><00:30:16.720><c> in</c><00:30:16.839><c> verse</c><00:30:17.000><c> 15,</c><00:30:17.680><c> notwithstanding,</c><00:30:18.720><c> she</c><00:30:19.059><c> shall</c><00:30:19.519><c> be</c><00:30:19.900><c> saved,</c>

00:30:20.579 --> 00:30:23.779
the<00:30:20.700><c> apostle</c><00:30:20.980><c> gives</c><00:30:21.359><c> testimony</c><00:30:21.960><c> to</c><00:30:23.039><c> the</c><00:30:23.220><c> fact</c><00:30:23.339><c> that</c><00:30:23.500><c> whatever</c>

00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:29.220
it<00:30:25.619><c> is</c><00:30:26.240><c> unaffected</c><00:30:27.180><c> in</c><00:30:27.400><c> terms</c><00:30:27.660><c> of</c><00:30:27.839><c> the</c><00:30:27.900><c> matter</c><00:30:28.119><c> of</c><00:30:28.339><c> salvation</c><00:30:28.759><c> itself.</c>

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:34.299
And<00:30:29.539><c> then</c><00:30:29.720><c> he</c><00:30:29.779><c> says</c><00:30:30.019><c> this,</c><00:30:30.759><c> notwithstanding,</c><00:30:33.319><c> she</c><00:30:33.539><c> shall</c><00:30:33.960><c> be</c>

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:37.700
saved<00:30:35.240><c> in</c><00:30:36.079><c> childbearing,</c>

00:30:37.940 --> 00:30:43.519
if<00:30:38.079><c> they</c><00:30:38.400><c> continue</c><00:30:39.019><c> in</c><00:30:39.400><c> faith</c><00:30:39.859><c> and</c><00:30:40.259><c> in</c><00:30:40.559><c> charity</c><00:30:41.039><c> and</c><00:30:41.920><c> in</c><00:30:42.200><c> holiness</c><00:30:42.579><c> with</c><00:30:43.000><c> sobriety.</c>

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:46.299
Oh,<00:30:43.920><c> did</c><00:30:44.019><c> you</c><00:30:44.140><c> notice,</c><00:30:44.940><c> brothers</c><00:30:45.039><c> and</c><00:30:45.180><c> sisters,</c><00:30:45.420><c> verse</c><00:30:45.680><c> 15,</c>

00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:51.640
it<00:30:46.960><c> starts</c><00:30:47.519><c> with</c><00:30:48.160><c> she</c><00:30:48.960><c> and</c><00:30:50.299><c> ends</c><00:30:50.720><c> with</c><00:30:51.059><c> they.</c>

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:53.400
Did<00:30:52.079><c> you</c><00:30:52.220><c> see</c><00:30:52.359><c> that?</c>

00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:59.819
It<00:30:54.640><c> starts</c><00:30:54.920><c> with</c><00:30:55.099><c> one</c><00:30:55.359><c> woman</c><00:30:55.920><c> and</c><00:30:58.059><c> ends</c><00:30:58.319><c> up</c><00:30:58.579><c> with</c><00:30:58.940><c> all</c><00:30:59.380><c> women</c>

00:30:59.819 --> 00:31:01.480
in<00:31:00.119><c> the</c><00:31:00.339><c> truth.</c>

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:08.500
And<00:31:03.839><c> what</c><00:31:03.980><c> the</c><00:31:04.200><c> testimony</c><00:31:04.500><c> of</c><00:31:04.700><c> the</c><00:31:04.819><c> apostle</c><00:31:05.119><c> is,</c><00:31:06.859><c> is</c><00:31:08.200><c> that</c><00:31:08.380><c> the</c>

00:31:08.500 --> 00:31:12.880
woman<00:31:08.660><c> will</c><00:31:08.940><c> be</c><00:31:09.200><c> saved</c><00:31:09.720><c> in</c><00:31:10.900><c> the</c><00:31:11.339><c> childbearing.</c>

00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:16.480
And<00:31:13.240><c> I've</c><00:31:13.440><c> added</c><00:31:13.539><c> that</c><00:31:13.839><c> word</c><00:31:14.119><c> that</c><00:31:14.400><c> on</c><00:31:14.859><c> purpose</c><00:31:15.240><c> because</c><00:31:15.880><c> in</c>

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:20.279
the<00:31:16.740><c> Greek,</c><00:31:18.079><c> the</c><00:31:18.259><c> definite</c><00:31:18.519><c> article</c><00:31:19.200><c> is</c><00:31:19.799><c> present.</c>

00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:24.559
It's<00:31:20.819><c> saved</c><00:31:21.400><c> in</c><00:31:22.299><c> the</c><00:31:22.940><c> childbearing.</c>

00:31:24.660 --> 00:31:27.180
Now<00:31:24.759><c> the</c><00:31:24.799><c> question</c><00:31:25.119><c> is,</c><00:31:25.400><c> what</c><00:31:25.599><c> do</c><00:31:25.779><c> you</c><00:31:25.779><c> think</c><00:31:25.880><c> the</c><00:31:26.039><c> apostle</c><00:31:26.279><c> means</c><00:31:26.720><c> when</c><00:31:26.920><c> he</c>

00:31:27.180 --> 00:31:30.440
says<00:31:27.440><c> that</c><00:31:28.299><c> in</c><00:31:28.579><c> the</c><00:31:28.740><c> 1</c><00:31:28.960><c> Timothy</c><00:31:29.319><c> chapter</c><00:31:29.700><c> 2,</c><00:31:30.119><c> verse</c><00:31:30.140><c> 15,</c>

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:36.000
notwithstanding,<00:31:31.160><c> she</c><00:31:31.539><c> shall</c><00:31:31.759><c> be</c><00:31:32.039><c> saved</c><00:31:32.339><c> in</c><00:31:32.660><c> the</c><00:31:32.980><c> childbearing,</c><00:31:34.880><c> if</c><00:31:35.200><c> she</c><00:31:35.400><c> continue</c><00:31:35.779><c> in</c>

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.420
faith<00:31:36.299><c> and</c><00:31:36.960><c> love</c><00:31:37.160><c> and</c><00:31:37.420><c> holiness</c><00:31:37.720><c> with</c><00:31:38.019><c> sobriety.</c>

00:31:38.460 --> 00:31:40.420
Well,<00:31:38.680><c> there</c><00:31:38.839><c> are</c><00:31:38.880><c> several</c><00:31:39.299><c> different</c><00:31:39.799><c> suggestions</c><00:31:40.240><c> that</c>

00:31:40.420 --> 00:31:42.859
have<00:31:40.500><c> been</c><00:31:40.599><c> made,</c><00:31:40.839><c> you</c><00:31:41.019><c> see,</c><00:31:41.579><c> about</c><00:31:41.880><c> what</c><00:31:42.059><c> this</c><00:31:42.279><c> might</c><00:31:42.500><c> mean.</c>

00:31:43.299 --> 00:31:47.140
The<00:31:43.519><c> first</c><00:31:43.819><c> suggestion</c><00:31:44.460><c> is</c><00:31:45.240><c> she</c><00:31:45.720><c> shall</c><00:31:45.940><c> be</c><00:31:46.240><c> saved</c><00:31:46.519><c> in</c><00:31:46.920><c> spite</c>

00:31:47.140 --> 00:31:49.259
of<00:31:47.500><c> childbearing,</c>

00:31:50.619 --> 00:31:55.980
meaning<00:31:51.200><c> that</c><00:31:51.779><c> despite</c><00:31:53.599><c> the</c><00:31:53.819><c> fact</c><00:31:54.000><c> that</c><00:31:54.160><c> women</c><00:31:54.440><c> bear</c><00:31:54.819><c> children,</c>

00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.740
that<00:31:56.660><c> they</c><00:31:56.859><c> will</c><00:31:57.119><c> be</c><00:31:57.440><c> saved</c><00:31:57.859><c> out</c><00:31:58.259><c> of</c><00:31:58.460><c> that</c><00:31:58.880><c> condition</c><00:31:59.359><c> as</c><00:31:59.579><c> long</c>

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:01.079
as<00:31:59.839><c> they</c><00:31:59.980><c> continue</c><00:32:00.380><c> in</c><00:32:00.680><c> faith.</c>

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:04.119
Childbearing<00:32:01.940><c> is</c><00:32:02.119><c> a</c><00:32:02.240><c> dangerous</c><00:32:02.579><c> thing,</c><00:32:03.099><c> much</c><00:32:03.259><c> more</c><00:32:03.519><c> dangerous</c><00:32:03.779><c> perhaps</c>

00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:06.220
in<00:32:04.400><c> earlier</c><00:32:04.720><c> times.</c>

00:32:07.779 --> 00:32:10.420
So<00:32:07.940><c> perhaps</c><00:32:08.259><c> the</c><00:32:08.420><c> suggestion</c><00:32:08.700><c> is</c><00:32:08.880><c> that</c><00:32:08.980><c> she'll</c><00:32:09.240><c> be</c><00:32:09.500><c> saved</c><00:32:09.759><c> despite</c><00:32:10.140><c> the</c>

00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:14.339
difficulties<00:32:10.759><c> and</c><00:32:10.980><c> the</c><00:32:11.119><c> dangers</c><00:32:11.799><c> of</c><00:32:12.619><c> children</c><00:32:13.220><c> being</c><00:32:13.759><c> born,</c>

00:32:14.619 --> 00:32:15.779
safely<00:32:14.900><c> delivered</c><00:32:15.220><c> of</c><00:32:15.519><c> them.</c>

00:32:15.779 --> 00:32:19.640
But<00:32:16.779><c> you</c><00:32:16.880><c> know,</c><00:32:17.079><c> brothers</c><00:32:17.160><c> and</c><00:32:17.240><c> sisters,</c><00:32:17.380><c> that</c><00:32:17.599><c> can't</c><00:32:17.980><c> be</c><00:32:18.420><c> really</c><00:32:19.099><c> true,</c><00:32:19.539><c> can</c><00:32:19.559><c> it?</c>

00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:23.059
Because<00:32:20.099><c> the</c><00:32:20.299><c> reality</c><00:32:20.619><c> is</c><00:32:20.880><c> that</c><00:32:21.039><c> many</c><00:32:21.259><c> ungodly</c><00:32:21.859><c> women</c><00:32:22.380><c> bring</c>

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:24.920
forth<00:32:23.359><c> children</c><00:32:23.680><c> and</c><00:32:23.940><c> live.</c>

00:32:25.940 --> 00:32:29.900
And<00:32:26.319><c> some</c><00:32:26.940><c> very</c><00:32:27.420><c> godly</c><00:32:27.779><c> women</c><00:32:28.019><c> bring</c><00:32:28.279><c> forth</c><00:32:28.599><c> children</c><00:32:28.960><c> and</c><00:32:29.220><c> die</c><00:32:29.599><c> in</c>

00:32:29.900 --> 00:32:31.180
the<00:32:30.099><c> process.</c>

00:32:31.380 --> 00:32:34.000
And<00:32:31.539><c> they</c><00:32:31.640><c> weren't</c><00:32:31.839><c> saved</c><00:32:32.200><c> in</c><00:32:32.480><c> childbearing</c><00:32:32.859><c> at</c><00:32:33.079><c> all.</c>

00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:37.259
So<00:32:35.299><c> that</c><00:32:35.480><c> can't</c><00:32:35.779><c> be</c><00:32:35.880><c> what</c><00:32:36.019><c> the</c><00:32:36.180><c> phrase</c><00:32:36.319><c> means,</c><00:32:36.980><c> can</c><00:32:37.099><c> it?</c>

00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:38.619
Saved<00:32:37.779><c> in</c><00:32:37.980><c> childbearing.</c>

00:32:38.619 --> 00:32:41.440

00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:45.880
children<00:32:41.740><c> that</c><00:32:41.960><c> their</c><00:32:42.440><c> miraculously</c><00:32:43.720><c> brought</c><00:32:44.079><c> through</c><00:32:44.480><c> safely.</c>

00:32:47.539 --> 00:32:49.599
Besides<00:32:48.059><c> which,</c><00:32:48.380><c> brothers</c><00:32:48.500><c> and</c><00:32:48.640><c> sisters,</c><00:32:48.819><c> the</c><00:32:48.859><c> word</c><00:32:49.079><c> saved</c>

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.619
here,<00:32:50.519><c> she</c><00:32:50.700><c> shall</c><00:32:50.839><c> be</c><00:32:51.180><c> saved,</c>

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:54.619
isn't<00:32:52.059><c> to</c><00:32:52.240><c> do</c><00:32:52.400><c> with</c><00:32:52.579><c> saved</c><00:32:53.160><c> in</c><00:32:53.400><c> the</c><00:32:53.480><c> matter</c><00:32:53.619><c> of</c><00:32:53.779><c> bringing</c><00:32:53.940><c> forth</c><00:32:54.200><c> a</c><00:32:54.400><c> child,</c>

00:32:54.700 --> 00:32:56.960
it's<00:32:54.799><c> to</c><00:32:54.940><c> do</c><00:32:55.039><c> with</c><00:32:55.200><c> eternal</c><00:32:55.640><c> salvation,</c><00:32:56.220><c> the</c><00:32:56.380><c> salvation</c><00:32:56.759><c> that</c>

00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:58.539
Christ<00:32:57.259><c> came</c><00:32:57.539><c> to</c><00:32:57.779><c> bring.</c>

00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:01.240
That's<00:32:58.799><c> much</c><00:32:59.039><c> wider</c><00:32:59.380><c> than</c><00:32:59.779><c> simply</c><00:33:00.039><c> bringing</c><00:33:00.319><c> forth</c><00:33:00.700><c> children.</c>

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:03.240
Now,<00:33:01.779><c> there's</c><00:33:01.960><c> got</c><00:33:02.039><c> to</c><00:33:02.119><c> be</c><00:33:02.220><c> something</c><00:33:02.440><c> else</c><00:33:02.779><c> here.</c>

00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:06.039
Well,<00:33:03.779><c> here's</c><00:33:04.039><c> the</c><00:33:04.339><c> second</c><00:33:04.640><c> suggestion</c><00:33:05.180><c> that's</c><00:33:05.460><c> been</c><00:33:05.720><c> made.</c>

00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:09.500
The<00:33:06.500><c> second</c><00:33:07.200><c> suggestion</c><00:33:07.579><c> is</c><00:33:07.779><c> that</c><00:33:07.900><c> she</c><00:33:08.319><c> might</c><00:33:08.599><c> be</c><00:33:08.920><c> saved</c><00:33:09.140><c> on</c>

00:33:09.500 --> 00:33:11.099
account<00:33:09.880><c> of</c><00:33:10.279><c> childbearing.</c>

00:33:11.420 --> 00:33:14.779
In<00:33:11.579><c> other</c><00:33:11.799><c> words,</c><00:33:12.440><c> she's</c><00:33:12.759><c> saved</c><00:33:13.039><c> because</c><00:33:13.500><c> she</c><00:33:13.759><c> does</c><00:33:14.180><c> bear</c><00:33:14.440><c> children.</c>

00:33:14.819 --> 00:33:16.960
She<00:33:15.000><c> brings</c><00:33:15.359><c> them</c><00:33:15.740><c> forth.</c>

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.000
But<00:33:19.200><c> I</c><00:33:19.420><c> think</c><00:33:19.599><c> that</c><00:33:19.759><c> that</c><00:33:19.920><c> can't</c><00:33:20.140><c> be</c><00:33:20.339><c> right</c><00:33:20.480><c> as</c><00:33:20.720><c> well,</c>

00:33:21.019 --> 00:33:24.940
because<00:33:21.599><c> that</c><00:33:22.140><c> implies</c><00:33:22.700><c> that</c><00:33:23.299><c> childbearing</c><00:33:24.099><c> itself</c><00:33:24.640><c> is</c>

00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:27.160
somehow<00:33:25.480><c> meritorious.</c>

00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:32.839
But<00:33:28.319><c> that</c><00:33:28.480><c> would</c><00:33:28.680><c> mean</c><00:33:28.900><c> that</c><00:33:29.299><c> the</c><00:33:30.279><c> married</c><00:33:30.680><c> woman</c><00:33:31.039><c> without</c><00:33:31.519><c> child</c>

00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:39.380
and<00:33:34.039><c> the</c><00:33:34.279><c> unmarried</c><00:33:35.180><c> woman</c><00:33:35.779><c> would</c><00:33:36.480><c> in</c><00:33:36.640><c> some</c><00:33:37.079><c> respect</c><00:33:37.500><c> be</c><00:33:37.779><c> considered</c><00:33:38.119><c> inferior</c><00:33:38.579><c> because</c><00:33:38.819><c> they've</c><00:33:39.000><c> never</c><00:33:39.180><c> had</c>

00:33:39.380 --> 00:33:39.740
a<00:33:39.579><c> child.</c>

00:33:39.819 --> 00:33:42.359
And<00:33:39.920><c> that</c><00:33:40.240><c> obviously</c><00:33:40.500><c> can't</c><00:33:40.700><c> be</c><00:33:40.819><c> what</c><00:33:40.960><c> the</c><00:33:41.099><c> apostle</c><00:33:41.299><c> means.</c>

00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:45.039
There<00:33:42.779><c> can't</c><00:33:43.000><c> be</c><00:33:43.099><c> anything</c><00:33:43.319><c> special</c><00:33:43.759><c> about</c><00:33:44.420><c> merely</c><00:33:44.700><c> the</c><00:33:44.920><c> fact</c>

00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.920
that<00:33:45.200><c> they're</c><00:33:45.819><c> saved</c><00:33:46.079><c> because</c><00:33:46.299><c> they've</c><00:33:46.599><c> had</c><00:33:46.819><c> children.</c>

00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:50.720
Because<00:33:48.839><c> not</c><00:33:49.039><c> all</c><00:33:49.200><c> women</c><00:33:49.420><c> do.</c>

00:33:51.420 --> 00:33:55.500
And<00:33:51.519><c> yet</c><00:33:51.680><c> whatever</c><00:33:51.920><c> this</c><00:33:52.140><c> is,</c><00:33:52.299><c> this</c><00:33:52.460><c> is</c><00:33:52.500><c> something</c><00:33:52.779><c> that</c><00:33:52.880><c> relates</c><00:33:53.140><c> to</c><00:33:53.559><c> womankind</c><00:33:54.019><c> as</c><00:33:54.339><c> a</c><00:33:54.480><c> whole.</c>

00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:58.539
And<00:33:56.599><c> then</c><00:33:56.839><c> there's</c><00:33:57.000><c> a</c><00:33:57.220><c> third</c><00:33:57.440><c> suggestion</c><00:33:57.859><c> that's</c><00:33:58.059><c> been</c><00:33:58.279><c> made</c>

00:33:58.539 --> 00:33:59.460
that<00:33:58.740><c> is</c><00:33:58.940><c> that,</c>

00:33:59.460 --> 00:34:04.180
well,<00:33:59.740><c> perhaps</c><00:33:59.859><c> it</c><00:34:00.059><c> means</c><00:34:00.220><c> that</c><00:34:00.420><c> she</c><00:34:00.599><c> shall</c><00:34:00.720><c> be</c><00:34:00.980><c> saved</c><00:34:01.200><c> because</c><00:34:01.779><c> of</c><00:34:02.779><c> the</c><00:34:03.359><c> childbearing,</c>

00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.720
meaning<00:34:04.599><c> the</c><00:34:05.119><c> birth</c><00:34:05.420><c> of</c><00:34:05.640><c> the</c><00:34:05.880><c> child</c><00:34:06.380><c> of</c><00:34:06.599><c> Genesis</c><00:34:06.980><c> chapter</c><00:34:07.420><c> 3,</c>

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:09.880
the<00:34:07.980><c> seed</c><00:34:08.119><c> of</c><00:34:08.260><c> the</c><00:34:08.340><c> woman,</c><00:34:08.960><c> the</c><00:34:09.099><c> promised</c><00:34:09.280><c> Christ.</c>

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.719
She<00:34:10.420><c> shall</c><00:34:10.659><c> be</c><00:34:10.940><c> saved</c><00:34:11.159><c> because</c><00:34:11.460><c> one</c><00:34:11.719><c> day</c><00:34:11.840><c> the</c><00:34:12.099><c> promised</c><00:34:12.360><c> seed</c>

00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:13.360
shall<00:34:12.980><c> come.</c>

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:15.760
And<00:34:13.820><c> the</c><00:34:13.940><c> woman</c><00:34:14.099><c> were</c><00:34:14.280><c> the</c><00:34:14.460><c> bearers</c><00:34:14.760><c> of</c><00:34:14.920><c> the</c><00:34:15.119><c> children</c><00:34:15.380><c> till</c>

00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:17.380
one<00:34:16.059><c> day</c><00:34:16.219><c> Messiah</c><00:34:16.699><c> should</c><00:34:17.019><c> appear.</c>

00:34:17.659 --> 00:34:19.199
Well,<00:34:17.840><c> that's</c><00:34:18.139><c> true,</c><00:34:18.440><c> brothers</c><00:34:18.579><c> and</c><00:34:18.760><c> sisters.</c><00:34:18.820><c> Of</c><00:34:19.019><c> course</c>

00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:21.440
women<00:34:19.380><c> are</c><00:34:19.539><c> saved</c><00:34:19.840><c> because</c><00:34:20.139><c> Christ</c><00:34:20.440><c> came.</c>

00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:26.539
But<00:34:22.579><c> you</c><00:34:22.780><c> know,</c><00:34:22.780><c> by</c><00:34:22.940><c> the</c><00:34:23.059><c> time</c><00:34:23.219><c> Paul</c><00:34:23.480><c> writes</c><00:34:23.920><c> the</c><00:34:26.059><c> epistle</c><00:34:26.360><c> of</c>

00:34:26.539 --> 00:34:29.300
Timothy,<00:34:27.380><c> Christ</c><00:34:27.679><c> already</c><00:34:28.079><c> has</c><00:34:28.400><c> come.</c>

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:33.340
If<00:34:30.039><c> there</c><00:34:30.199><c> was</c><00:34:30.280><c> to</c><00:34:30.420><c> be</c><00:34:30.460><c> any</c><00:34:30.760><c> savior</c><00:34:31.139><c> or</c><00:34:31.579><c> any</c><00:34:31.900><c> salvation</c><00:34:32.320><c> by</c><00:34:32.699><c> childbearing,</c>

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:35.320
then<00:34:33.519><c> that</c><00:34:33.760><c> childbearing's</c><00:34:34.360><c> already</c><00:34:34.719><c> occurred</c><00:34:35.019><c> before</c>

00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:36.000
Timothy's<00:34:35.800><c> written.</c>

00:34:36.219 --> 00:34:39.059
And<00:34:36.340><c> in</c><00:34:36.440><c> fact</c><00:34:36.539><c> only</c><00:34:36.780><c> one</c><00:34:36.980><c> woman</c><00:34:37.199><c> would</c><00:34:37.400><c> do</c><00:34:37.559><c> it</c><00:34:37.679><c> and</c><00:34:37.739><c> that</c><00:34:37.820><c> was</c><00:34:37.980><c> Mary.</c>

00:34:39.460 --> 00:34:41.300
Nobody<00:34:39.679><c> else,</c><00:34:40.039><c> no</c><00:34:40.219><c> other</c><00:34:40.400><c> woman.</c>

00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:43.599
And<00:34:41.619><c> although</c><00:34:41.760><c> it's</c><00:34:41.960><c> true</c><00:34:42.159><c> to</c><00:34:42.320><c> say</c><00:34:42.480><c> that</c><00:34:42.639><c> all</c><00:34:42.820><c> women</c><00:34:43.000><c> would</c><00:34:43.239><c> be</c>

00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:46.500
saved<00:34:44.179><c> because</c><00:34:44.960><c> of</c><00:34:45.260><c> him,</c>

00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:52.380
so<00:34:48.619><c> would</c><00:34:48.780><c> all</c><00:34:48.960><c> men</c><00:34:49.139><c> be</c><00:34:49.400><c> saved</c><00:34:50.000><c> because</c><00:34:51.099><c> of</c><00:34:51.280><c> Christ.</c>

00:34:53.699 --> 00:34:55.400
But<00:34:53.860><c> this</c><00:34:54.019><c> is</c><00:34:54.119><c> something</c><00:34:54.340><c> to</c><00:34:54.480><c> do</c><00:34:54.539><c> with</c><00:34:54.659><c> the</c><00:34:54.800><c> role</c><00:34:54.980><c> of</c><00:34:55.159><c> women,</c>

00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:58.599
you<00:34:55.639><c> see.</c><00:34:55.840><c> It's</c><00:34:55.940><c> not</c><00:34:56.099><c> unique</c><00:34:56.380><c> to</c><00:34:56.559><c> womankind</c><00:34:56.920><c> at</c><00:34:57.199><c> all.</c>

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.480

00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:06.500
I<00:35:03.780><c> think</c><00:35:03.940><c> that</c><00:35:04.119><c> this</c><00:35:04.280><c> is</c><00:35:04.920><c> more</c><00:35:05.320><c> akin</c><00:35:05.599><c> to</c><00:35:05.760><c> the</c><00:35:05.920><c> teaching</c><00:35:06.159><c> of</c><00:35:06.360><c> the</c>

00:35:13.340 --> 00:35:18.360

00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:22.599
the<00:35:18.719><c> role</c><00:35:19.179><c> that</c><00:35:19.639><c> the</c><00:35:19.860><c> sister</c><00:35:20.139><c> ought</c><00:35:20.400><c> to</c><00:35:20.739><c> find</c><00:35:21.139><c> herself</c><00:35:21.960><c> in</c>

You<00:36:26.519><c> know</c><00:36:26.619><c> I</c><00:36:26.659><c> think</c><00:36:26.820><c> that</c><00:36:27.019><c> that</c><00:36:27.159><c> was</c><00:36:27.320><c> the</c><00:36:27.500><c> judgment</c><00:36:27.800><c> upon</c><00:36:28.139><c> the</c>
