Yes,<00:01:24.540><c> there</c><00:01:24.799><c> is.</c>

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:32.939
This<00:01:28.640><c> is</c><00:01:29.120><c> something</c><00:01:29.359><c> that</c><00:01:30.700><c> you're</c><00:01:31.140><c> probably</c><00:01:31.939><c> not</c><00:01:32.239><c> used</c><00:01:32.459><c> to</c><00:01:32.620><c> considering.</c>

00:01:32.980 --> 00:01:34.480

00:01:34.859 --> 00:01:38.180
But<00:01:34.980><c> the</c><00:01:35.140><c> thing</c><00:01:35.319><c> is,</c><00:01:35.540><c> you</c><00:01:35.620><c> have</c><00:01:35.920><c> to</c><00:01:36.340><c> remember</c><00:01:36.939><c> that</c><00:01:37.620><c> the</c><00:01:37.879><c> Bible</c>

of<00:01:43.379><c> books.</c>

00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:46.980
Technically,<00:01:44.980><c> you</c><00:01:45.040><c> might</c><00:01:45.379><c> refer</c><00:01:45.920><c> to</c><00:01:46.060><c> the</c><00:01:46.140><c> Book</c><00:01:46.239><c> of</c><00:01:46.519><c> Psalms</c><00:01:46.780><c> as</c>

00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.099
It's<00:01:48.980><c> more</c><00:01:49.099><c> like</c><00:01:49.260><c> our</c><00:01:49.459><c> hymn</c><00:01:49.659><c> book,</c><00:01:49.959><c> sort</c><00:01:50.019><c> of.</c>

Book<00:01:54.159><c> of</c><00:01:54.340><c> Psalms</c><00:01:54.700><c> as</c><00:01:54.980><c> chapters.</c>

00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.420
It's<00:01:56.780><c> just</c><00:01:56.980><c> a</c><00:01:57.019><c> little</c><00:01:57.239><c> thing,</c><00:01:57.480><c> one</c><00:01:57.579><c> of</c><00:01:57.680><c> my</c><00:01:57.780><c> little</c><00:01:58.019><c> pet</c><00:01:58.180><c> peeves</c>

00:01:58.420 --> 00:01:59.239
when<00:01:58.540><c> somebody's</c><00:01:58.840><c> standing</c><00:01:59.019><c> up</c><00:01:59.159><c> there</c>

00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.159
and<00:01:59.299><c> says,</c><00:01:59.579><c> let's</c><00:01:59.620><c> read</c><00:01:59.859><c> Psalm</c><00:02:00.159><c> chapter</c><00:02:00.599><c> 86.</c>

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:02.540
The<00:02:01.659><c> Psalms</c><00:02:01.859><c> are</c><00:02:02.040><c> not</c><00:02:02.180><c> chapters.</c>

00:02:02.620 --> 00:02:04.299
They<00:02:02.780><c> are</c><00:02:02.959><c> Psalms.</c>

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:06.840
But<00:02:04.739><c> anyway,</c><00:02:05.060><c> the</c><00:02:05.159><c> point</c><00:02:05.340><c> is</c><00:02:05.620><c> that</c><00:02:05.920><c> the</c><00:02:06.120><c> books</c><00:02:06.299><c> were</c><00:02:06.540><c> written</c>

00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.620
into<00:02:10.039><c> being</c><00:02:10.340><c> the</c><00:02:10.560><c> Bible</c><00:02:10.819><c> over</c><00:02:11.680><c> a</c><00:02:11.840><c> period</c><00:02:12.080><c> of</c><00:02:12.319><c> time.</c>

00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:16.300
And<00:02:13.120><c> how</c><00:02:13.259><c> is</c><00:02:13.479><c> it</c><00:02:13.580><c> that</c><00:02:13.759><c> we</c><00:02:14.139><c> believe</c><00:02:14.539><c> that</c><00:02:14.919><c> these</c><00:02:15.219><c> 66</c><00:02:15.740><c> books</c><00:02:16.080><c> are</c>

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:22.919
Why<00:02:18.699><c> is</c><00:02:18.960><c> it</c><00:02:19.139><c> that</c><00:02:19.860><c> basically</c><00:02:20.280><c> the</c><00:02:20.539><c> Catholics</c><00:02:20.900><c> and</c><00:02:21.139><c> the</c><00:02:21.280><c> Orthodox</c><00:02:21.800><c> religions</c><00:02:22.240><c> believe</c><00:02:22.580><c> that</c><00:02:22.759><c> there</c>

00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.400
I<00:02:26.060><c> can</c><00:02:26.259><c> only</c><00:02:26.460><c> scratch</c><00:02:26.699><c> the</c><00:02:26.900><c> surface</c><00:02:27.180><c> here.</c>

00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.379
I<00:02:27.439><c> can't</c><00:02:27.659><c> get</c><00:02:27.900><c> into</c><00:02:28.599><c> a</c><00:02:28.879><c> whole</c><00:02:29.020><c> lot</c><00:02:29.139><c> of</c><00:02:29.259><c> detail.</c>

00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.560

And<00:07:00.220><c> so</c><00:07:00.319><c> what</c><00:07:00.439><c> happens</c><00:07:00.879><c> is</c><00:07:01.220><c> that</c><00:07:01.560><c> the</c><00:07:01.819><c> Orthodox</c><00:07:02.339><c> Church,</c><00:07:03.100><c> some</c>

00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:15.680
That's<00:07:11.220><c> why</c><00:07:11.500><c> you</c><00:07:11.639><c> will</c><00:07:11.860><c> find</c><00:07:12.019><c> in</c><00:07:12.220><c> some</c><00:07:12.439><c> Bibles</c><00:07:12.879><c> that</c><00:07:13.360><c> these</c><00:07:13.680><c> books</c><00:07:13.899><c> are</c><00:07:14.220><c> included</c><00:07:14.500><c> as</c><00:07:14.800><c> biblical.</c>

00:07:16.980 --> 00:07:20.240
The<00:07:17.420><c> thing</c><00:07:17.860><c> is,</c><00:07:18.120><c> though,</c><00:07:18.220><c> if</c><00:07:18.300><c> you</c><00:07:18.439><c> look</c><00:07:18.699><c> at</c><00:07:18.939><c> it,</c><00:07:19.779><c> there's</c><00:07:20.000><c> no</c>

00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.899
know<00:07:21.779><c> they</c><00:07:21.920><c> were</c><00:07:22.100><c> not</c><00:07:22.319><c> added</c><00:07:22.500><c> until</c><00:07:22.779><c> the</c><00:07:22.959><c> time</c><00:07:23.079><c> of</c><00:07:23.259><c> the</c><00:07:23.339><c> Septuagint.</c>

00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.779
That's<00:07:24.620><c> why,</c><00:07:25.040><c> generally,</c><00:07:25.500><c> among</c><00:07:25.660><c> the</c><00:07:25.980><c> Protestants,</c><00:07:27.160><c> they</c><00:07:27.279><c> don't</c><00:07:27.459><c> have</c><00:07:27.600><c> an</c>

00:07:30.980 --> 00:07:33.420
And<00:07:31.060><c> so</c><00:07:31.139><c> that's</c><00:07:31.379><c> why</c><00:07:31.720><c> what</c><00:07:32.040><c> we</c><00:07:32.399><c> have,</c><00:07:32.699><c> what</c><00:07:32.819><c> technically</c><00:07:33.160><c> would</c><00:07:33.339><c> be</c>

00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:39.180

this<00:07:44.060><c> thing</c><00:07:44.199><c> in</c><00:07:44.420><c> particular,</c>

00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.879

00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.660
goes,<00:07:48.800><c> because</c><00:07:49.240><c> it</c><00:07:49.759><c> is</c><00:07:49.959><c> a</c><00:07:50.079><c> whole</c><00:07:50.339><c> section</c>

00:07:50.660 --> 00:07:54.959

certainly<00:07:55.399><c> would</c><00:07:55.639><c> not.</c>

00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:58.879
Let's<00:07:57.180><c> look</c><00:07:57.360><c> at</c><00:07:57.480><c> a</c><00:07:57.560><c> couple</c><00:07:57.759><c> of</c><00:07:57.860><c> Bible</c><00:07:58.139><c> references</c><00:07:58.500><c> to</c><00:07:58.740><c> get</c>

When<00:10:02.000><c> Paul</c><00:10:02.279><c> wrote</c><00:10:02.480><c> these</c><00:10:02.740><c> epistles,</c><00:10:03.340><c> they</c><00:10:03.519><c> were</c><00:10:03.759><c> immediately</c>

00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.059
reckoned<00:10:04.860><c> as</c><00:10:05.120><c> being</c><00:10:05.580><c> scriptural.</c>

00:10:06.139 --> 00:10:09.120
That's<00:10:06.399><c> why</c><00:10:06.600><c> Peter</c><00:10:06.860><c> would</c><00:10:07.120><c> say</c><00:10:07.559><c> that</c><00:10:08.039><c> people</c><00:10:08.340><c> twist</c><00:10:08.659><c> Paul's</c>

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:10.559
writings<00:10:09.240><c> just</c><00:10:09.500><c> like</c><00:10:09.679><c> they</c><00:10:09.820><c> do</c><00:10:09.960><c> the</c><00:10:10.279><c> other</c>

00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.580
scriptures,<00:10:11.100><c> the</c><00:10:11.240><c> rest</c><00:10:11.440><c> of</c><00:10:11.620><c> the</c><00:10:11.740><c> scriptures.</c>

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.639
So<00:10:12.879><c> that's</c><00:10:13.200><c> a</c><00:10:13.539><c> point</c><00:10:13.720><c> to</c><00:10:13.940><c> be</c><00:10:14.139><c> made</c><00:10:14.360><c> here,</c><00:10:14.620><c> just</c><00:10:14.720><c> to,</c><00:10:15.019><c> you</c><00:10:15.259><c> normally</c><00:10:15.419><c> kind</c>

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.120
of<00:10:15.700><c> gloss</c><00:10:15.879><c> it</c><00:10:16.039><c> over,</c><00:10:16.320><c> but</c><00:10:16.840><c> that</c>

00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.220
is<00:10:17.220><c> that</c><00:10:17.519><c> a</c><00:10:17.720><c> lot</c><00:10:17.899><c> of</c><00:10:18.080><c> these</c><00:10:18.320><c> books</c><00:10:18.679><c> were</c><00:10:19.120><c> considered</c><00:10:19.500><c> scriptural</c><00:10:19.960><c> as</c><00:10:20.120><c> soon</c>

00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:21.360
as<00:10:20.340><c> they</c><00:10:20.419><c> were</c><00:10:20.639><c> written.</c>

00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:22.139
Did<00:10:21.559><c> you</c><00:10:21.659><c> have</c><00:10:21.740><c> a</c><00:10:21.879><c> question?</c>

00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.700
How<00:10:23.320><c> could</c><00:10:24.240><c> you</c><00:10:24.580><c> prove</c><00:10:24.720><c> the</c><00:10:24.980><c> Bible</c><00:10:25.399><c> is</c><00:10:25.759><c> true</c><00:10:26.019><c> through</c><00:10:26.320><c> verses</c>

00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:28.580
that<00:10:26.980><c> in</c><00:10:27.100><c> the</c><00:10:27.200><c> inside</c><00:10:27.779><c> of</c><00:10:28.080><c> the</c><00:10:28.080><c> Bible</c><00:10:28.279><c> that</c>

00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:29.860
says<00:10:28.740><c> they're</c><00:10:29.080><c> true?</c>

00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.379
I<00:10:29.960><c> mean,</c><00:10:30.320><c> wouldn't</c><00:10:30.539><c> any</c><00:10:30.879><c> religious</c><00:10:31.659><c> book</c><00:10:32.039><c> say</c><00:10:32.419><c> that,</c><00:10:32.720><c> oh,</c><00:10:32.899><c> this</c><00:10:33.159><c> is</c>

00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:33.840
the<00:10:33.440><c> book</c><00:10:33.580><c> that's</c><00:10:33.840><c> true?</c>

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:34.179
Right.

00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:34.940
That's<00:10:34.440><c> not</c><00:10:34.600><c> what</c><00:10:34.720><c> I'm</c><00:10:34.799><c> doing.</c>

00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:38.639
What<00:10:35.100><c> I'm</c><00:10:35.299><c> saying</c><00:10:35.539><c> is</c><00:10:36.139><c> that</c><00:10:36.820><c> Paul's</c><00:10:37.299><c> writing</c><00:10:37.519><c> was</c><00:10:37.899><c> considered</c>

00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.539
to<00:10:39.279><c> be</c><00:10:39.460><c> scriptural</c><00:10:39.919><c> in</c><00:10:40.059><c> his</c><00:10:40.320><c> day.</c>

00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:44.740
Whether<00:10:40.980><c> that's</c><00:10:41.279><c> true</c><00:10:41.500><c> or</c><00:10:41.720><c> not,</c><00:10:42.919><c> it</c><00:10:43.279><c> was</c><00:10:43.539><c> considered</c><00:10:44.000><c> to</c><00:10:44.200><c> be</c><00:10:44.360><c> scriptural.</c>

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:45.620
Does<00:10:45.000><c> that</c><00:10:45.159><c> make</c><00:10:45.299><c> sense?</c>

00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:51.279
Yeah,<00:10:46.600><c> but</c><00:10:47.080><c> what</c><00:10:48.080><c> I'm</c><00:10:48.220><c> saying</c><00:10:48.580><c> is</c><00:10:49.080><c> that's</c><00:10:49.879><c> proving</c><00:10:50.200><c> through</c>

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.200
this<00:10:51.559><c> Bible</c><00:10:51.779><c> that</c><00:10:52.299><c> the</c><00:10:52.480><c> book</c><00:10:52.620><c> is</c><00:10:52.980><c> true,</c>

00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:54.799
that<00:10:53.639><c> what</c><00:10:53.759><c> he's</c><00:10:54.019><c> writing</c><00:10:54.200><c> is</c><00:10:54.500><c> true.</c>

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.620
Wouldn't<00:10:55.220><c> he</c><00:10:55.419><c> say</c><00:10:55.639><c> that</c><00:10:55.960><c> if</c><00:10:56.139><c> it</c><00:10:56.299><c> was</c><00:10:56.539><c> like</c><00:10:56.740><c> for</c><00:10:56.980><c> their</c><00:10:57.159><c> religion?</c>

00:10:57.899 --> 00:11:00.100
Wouldn't<00:10:58.019><c> they</c><00:10:58.299><c> just</c><00:10:58.519><c> automatically</c><00:10:58.960><c> say</c><00:10:59.299><c> that</c><00:10:59.460><c> this</c><00:10:59.639><c> is</c><00:10:59.879><c> true?</c>

00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:03.039
So<00:11:00.879><c> that</c><00:11:01.100><c> he</c><00:11:01.259><c> convinced</c><00:11:01.519><c> people</c><00:11:01.779><c> into</c><00:11:02.000><c> their</c><00:11:02.240><c> religion?</c>

00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:04.200
Let<00:11:03.519><c> me</c><00:11:03.639><c> put</c><00:11:03.740><c> it</c><00:11:03.860><c> this</c><00:11:04.059><c> way.</c>

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:08.259
Let's<00:11:04.480><c> say</c><00:11:04.659><c> I</c><00:11:04.899><c> said</c><00:11:05.080><c> that</c><00:11:05.299><c> my</c><00:11:05.620><c> class</c><00:11:06.100><c> is</c><00:11:06.899><c> inspired</c><00:11:07.200><c> of</c><00:11:07.379><c> God.</c>

00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:11.820
That<00:11:10.100><c> statement</c><00:11:10.539><c> may</c><00:11:10.779><c> be</c><00:11:10.980><c> true.</c>

00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:14.220
I<00:11:12.279><c> consider</c><00:11:12.679><c> that</c><00:11:12.879><c> my</c><00:11:13.139><c> words</c><00:11:13.320><c> are</c><00:11:13.460><c> the</c><00:11:13.600><c> words</c><00:11:13.740><c> of</c><00:11:13.940><c> God.</c>

00:11:14.220 --> 00:11:16.279
That<00:11:14.779><c> doesn't</c><00:11:15.000><c> mean</c><00:11:15.179><c> they're</c><00:11:15.399><c> true.</c>

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:19.200
So<00:11:16.759><c> what</c><00:11:16.919><c> I'm</c><00:11:16.980><c> saying</c><00:11:17.240><c> is</c><00:11:17.539><c> from</c><00:11:17.919><c> what</c><00:11:18.340><c> Peter</c><00:11:18.600><c> is</c><00:11:18.879><c> saying</c><00:11:19.000><c> here</c>

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.340
in<00:11:19.240><c> his</c><00:11:19.440><c> epistle</c><00:11:19.799><c> is</c><00:11:20.200><c> that</c><00:11:20.360><c> the</c><00:11:20.460><c> words</c><00:11:20.679><c> of</c><00:11:20.940><c> Paul,</c>

00:11:21.779 --> 00:11:24.320
they<00:11:22.080><c> were</c><00:11:22.320><c> considered</c><00:11:22.740><c> to</c><00:11:22.899><c> be</c><00:11:23.019><c> the</c><00:11:23.139><c> words</c><00:11:23.299><c> of</c><00:11:23.440><c> God</c><00:11:23.799><c> when</c><00:11:24.139><c> they</c>

00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:24.740
were<00:11:24.500><c> written.</c>

00:11:25.059 --> 00:11:26.059
That<00:11:25.200><c> doesn't</c><00:11:25.399><c> mean</c><00:11:25.600><c> they</c><00:11:25.840><c> are.</c>

00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.179
It<00:11:26.419><c> doesn't</c><00:11:26.620><c> prove</c><00:11:27.000><c> whether</c><00:11:27.240><c> they</c><00:11:27.480><c> are</c><00:11:27.700><c> or</c><00:11:27.860><c> not.</c>

00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.580
It's<00:11:28.799><c> just</c><00:11:28.899><c> that</c><00:11:29.019><c> they</c><00:11:29.139><c> were</c><00:11:29.360><c> considered</c><00:11:29.799><c> by</c><00:11:30.039><c> the</c><00:11:30.200><c> people</c><00:11:30.399><c> of</c>

00:11:30.580 --> 00:11:31.620
their<00:11:30.759><c> day.</c>

00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:33.620
Do<00:11:32.019><c> you</c><00:11:32.019><c> see</c><00:11:32.120><c> the</c><00:11:32.279><c> difference</c><00:11:32.659><c> I'm</c><00:11:32.879><c> making?</c>

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:34.059
Okay.

00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.320
Let<00:11:34.700><c> me</c><00:11:34.799><c> look</c><00:11:34.980><c> at</c><00:11:35.240><c> a</c><00:11:35.519><c> couple</c><00:11:35.740><c> of</c><00:11:35.960><c> other</c><00:11:36.100><c> things.</c>

00:11:36.419 --> 00:11:37.740
Both<00:11:36.639><c> of</c><00:11:36.820><c> these</c><00:11:36.919><c> are</c><00:11:37.080><c> in</c><00:11:37.159><c> the</c><00:11:37.279><c> Old</c><00:11:37.419><c> Testament.</c>

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:39.200
I<00:11:38.620><c> forget</c><00:11:38.779><c> your</c><00:11:38.960><c> name?</c>

00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:40.139
Valerie.

00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:40.679
Okay.

00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:47.559
If<00:11:41.000><c> I</c><00:11:41.120><c> could</c><00:11:41.259><c> get</c><00:11:41.379><c> you</c><00:11:41.519><c> to</c><00:11:41.600><c> read</c><00:11:41.799><c> Joshua</c><00:11:42.360><c> chapter</c><00:11:42.860><c> 10</c><00:11:44.039><c> and</c><00:11:45.919><c> verse</c><00:11:46.240><c> 13.</c>

00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:53.639
If<00:11:51.600><c> you</c><00:11:51.759><c> don't</c><00:11:52.259><c> agree</c><00:11:52.539><c> with</c><00:11:52.740><c> something</c><00:11:52.960><c> I'm</c><00:11:53.179><c> saying,</c><00:11:53.460><c> I</c><00:11:53.480><c> want</c>

00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:55.340

00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.080
So,<00:11:58.139><c> Valerie,</c><00:11:58.399><c> Joshua</c><00:11:58.879><c> chapter</c><00:11:59.340><c> 10</c><00:12:00.080><c> and</c><00:12:00.500><c> verse</c><00:12:00.759><c> 13.</c>

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:02.500
I<00:12:01.200><c> know</c><00:12:01.360><c> it</c><00:12:01.419><c> looks</c><00:12:01.580><c> like</c><00:12:01.720><c> it's</c><00:12:01.899><c> picking</c><00:12:02.019><c> it</c><00:12:02.159><c> up</c><00:12:02.240><c> in</c><00:12:02.340><c> the</c><00:12:02.379><c> middle</c>

00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.620
And<00:12:05.080><c> the</c><00:12:05.259><c> sun</c><00:12:05.440><c> stood</c><00:12:05.779><c> still,</c><00:12:06.259><c> and</c><00:12:06.379><c> the</c><00:12:06.519><c> moon</c><00:12:06.700><c> stayed,</c><00:12:07.340><c> and</c><00:12:07.480><c> so</c>

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:10.360
the<00:12:07.740><c> people</c><00:12:07.960><c> had</c><00:12:08.279><c> bent</c><00:12:08.480><c> themselves</c><00:12:08.980><c> upon</c><00:12:09.279><c> their</c><00:12:09.539><c> enemies.</c>

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:13.139
Is<00:12:11.259><c> not</c><00:12:11.440><c> this</c><00:12:11.600><c> written</c><00:12:11.860><c> in</c><00:12:12.100><c> the</c><00:12:12.159><c> book</c><00:12:12.419><c> of</c><00:12:12.899><c> Jasher?</c>

00:12:13.539 --> 00:12:17.240

00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:22.399
Okay.

verse<00:12:24.879><c> 13?</c>

00:12:28.100 --> 00:12:30.600
Well,<00:12:28.200><c> how</c><00:12:28.399><c> come</c><00:12:28.580><c> the</c><00:12:28.659><c> book</c><00:12:28.840><c> of</c><00:12:29.039><c> Jasher</c><00:12:29.360><c> is</c><00:12:29.519><c> not</c><00:12:29.679><c> in</c><00:12:29.779><c> the</c><00:12:29.899><c> Bible?</c>

It's<00:12:33.679><c> got</c><00:12:33.759><c> the</c><00:12:34.000><c> same</c><00:12:34.220><c> words</c><00:12:34.580><c> as</c><00:12:34.779><c> in</c><00:12:34.899><c> the</c><00:12:35.259><c> book</c><00:12:35.460><c> of</c><00:12:35.639><c> Joshua.</c>

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:40.679
Okay,<00:12:39.200><c> I'm</c><00:12:39.379><c> playing</c><00:12:39.460><c> the</c><00:12:39.620><c> devil's</c><00:12:39.899><c> advocate</c><00:12:40.100><c> here</c><00:12:40.279><c> a</c><00:12:40.320><c> little</c><00:12:40.500><c> bit.</c>

00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.519
My<00:12:41.120><c> point</c><00:12:41.379><c> is,</c><00:12:42.120><c> you'll</c><00:12:42.419><c> find</c><00:12:42.519><c> this,</c><00:12:42.759><c> there's</c><00:12:42.919><c> a</c><00:12:43.039><c> lot</c><00:12:43.179><c> of</c><00:12:43.340><c> references.</c>

00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:45.000
This<00:12:44.220><c> is</c><00:12:44.340><c> just</c><00:12:44.539><c> an</c><00:12:44.720><c> example.</c>

00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:46.940
But<00:12:45.179><c> the</c><00:12:45.340><c> point</c><00:12:45.500><c> is,</c><00:12:45.700><c> there's</c><00:12:45.899><c> a</c><00:12:45.980><c> lot</c><00:12:46.139><c> of</c><00:12:46.279><c> times</c><00:12:46.440><c> in</c><00:12:46.600><c> the</c><00:12:46.720><c> Bible</c>

00:12:46.940 --> 00:12:48.279
where<00:12:47.120><c> there's</c><00:12:47.360><c> a</c><00:12:47.500><c> quote</c><00:12:47.639><c> about</c><00:12:47.879><c> something,</c>

00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:50.940
and<00:12:48.840><c> they</c><00:12:49.000><c> would</c><00:12:49.200><c> say</c><00:12:49.559><c> that</c><00:12:49.860><c> you</c><00:12:49.940><c> could</c><00:12:50.120><c> look</c><00:12:50.299><c> about</c><00:12:50.559><c> this</c><00:12:50.799><c> in</c>

00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:51.899
the<00:12:51.059><c> book</c><00:12:51.200><c> of</c><00:12:51.440><c> Jasher,</c>

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:54.919

00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.779
And<00:12:56.559><c> the</c><00:12:56.740><c> point</c><00:12:56.919><c> is</c><00:12:57.440><c> that</c><00:12:58.100><c> books</c><00:12:58.299><c> like</c><00:12:58.539><c> the</c><00:12:58.679><c> book</c><00:12:58.820><c> of</c><00:12:59.100><c> Jasher,</c>

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.259
even<00:13:00.279><c> though</c><00:13:00.500><c> they</c><00:13:00.639><c> were</c><00:13:00.899><c> religious</c><00:13:01.460><c> type</c><00:13:01.840><c> books,</c>

00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:06.460
and<00:13:02.379><c> they</c><00:13:02.500><c> had,</c><00:13:03.299><c> I'll</c><00:13:03.860><c> just</c><00:13:04.059><c> simplify</c><00:13:04.360><c> here</c><00:13:04.580><c> and</c><00:13:04.639><c> say</c><00:13:04.740><c> they</c><00:13:04.840><c> had</c><00:13:05.059><c> religious</c><00:13:05.440><c> ideas</c><00:13:05.899><c> in</c><00:13:06.120><c> them,</c>

00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.039
that<00:13:07.080><c> doesn't</c><00:13:07.480><c> mean</c><00:13:08.019><c> that</c><00:13:08.259><c> they</c><00:13:08.379><c> were</c><00:13:08.600><c> automatically</c>

00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:09.919
considered<00:13:09.500><c> scripture.</c>

00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:12.500
So<00:13:10.620><c> just</c><00:13:10.759><c> because</c><00:13:11.080><c> some</c><00:13:11.379><c> books</c><00:13:11.580><c> were</c><00:13:11.840><c> considered</c><00:13:12.139><c> scripture,</c>

00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.340
that<00:13:13.460><c> doesn't</c><00:13:13.639><c> mean</c><00:13:13.799><c> they</c><00:13:14.019><c> all</c><00:13:14.220><c> were,</c><00:13:14.779><c> including</c><00:13:15.320><c> books</c><00:13:15.980><c> by</c>

biblical<00:13:16.740><c> authors.</c>

00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:19.860
Is<00:13:19.419><c> it</c><00:13:19.639><c> Aaron?</c>

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:20.639
Yep.

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.120
Okay.

00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:27.059
If<00:13:21.539><c> you</c><00:13:21.700><c> would</c><00:13:21.919><c> read</c><00:13:22.139><c> 2</c><00:13:22.419><c> Chronicles</c><00:13:23.539><c> chapter</c><00:13:25.399><c> 26.</c>

2<00:13:36.179><c> Chronicles</c><00:13:36.820><c> chapter</c><00:13:37.240><c> 26</c><00:13:38.120><c> and</c><00:13:38.820><c> verse</c><00:13:39.240><c> 22.</c>

00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.259
So<00:13:51.360><c> it's</c><00:13:51.559><c> been</c><00:13:51.700><c> talking</c><00:13:52.000><c> about</c><00:13:52.139><c> here</c><00:13:52.320><c> about</c><00:13:52.620><c> the</c><00:13:52.919><c> reign</c><00:13:53.100><c> of</c>

King<00:13:53.500><c> Uzziah,</c>

00:13:55.580 --> 00:13:57.360

00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:01.279
the<00:13:57.460><c> rest</c><00:13:57.720><c> of</c><00:13:57.879><c> the</c><00:13:58.100><c> Acts</c><00:13:58.620><c> of</c><00:13:59.639><c> Uzziah</c><00:14:00.080><c> are</c><00:14:00.259><c> written</c><00:14:00.519><c> by</c><00:14:01.080><c> the</c>

King<00:14:05.980><c> Uzziah?</c>

00:14:09.899 --> 00:14:11.440
You<00:14:10.419><c> don't.</c>

00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:13.299
It's<00:14:12.740><c> not</c><00:14:12.980><c> there.</c>

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.480
So<00:14:20.879><c> even</c><00:14:21.279><c> just</c><00:14:21.580><c> because</c><00:14:22.080><c> it</c><00:14:22.340><c> was</c><00:14:22.580><c> Isaiah</c><00:14:22.960><c> writing,</c>

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.559
wow,<00:14:34.860><c> that</c><00:14:35.019><c> should</c><00:14:35.159><c> be</c><00:14:35.340><c> scripture</c><00:14:35.559><c> because</c><00:14:35.740><c> Isaiah</c><00:14:36.059><c> wrote</c><00:14:36.299><c> it.</c>

00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:38.980
So<00:14:36.960><c> it's</c><00:14:37.100><c> not</c><00:14:37.360><c> just</c><00:14:37.700><c> the</c><00:14:37.940><c> writer,</c>

00:14:39.299 --> 00:14:42.019
and<00:14:39.700><c> it's</c><00:14:39.840><c> not</c><00:14:40.039><c> just</c><00:14:40.240><c> because</c><00:14:40.440><c> it's</c><00:14:40.679><c> a</c><00:14:40.740><c> book</c><00:14:40.919><c> about</c><00:14:41.299><c> religious</c><00:14:41.679><c> things,</c>

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.519
is<00:14:42.200><c> the</c><00:14:42.340><c> point</c><00:14:42.419><c> I'm</c><00:14:42.539><c> trying</c><00:14:42.700><c> to</c><00:14:42.799><c> make</c><00:14:42.940><c> from</c><00:14:43.080><c> these</c><00:14:43.220><c> last</c><00:14:43.399><c> couple</c><00:14:43.620><c> of</c><00:14:43.759><c> references.</c>

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:47.679
But<00:14:44.940><c> if</c><00:14:45.139><c> it</c><00:14:45.360><c> was</c><00:14:45.620><c> a</c><00:14:45.840><c> specific</c><00:14:46.360><c> book</c><00:14:46.639><c> by</c><00:14:46.899><c> a</c><00:14:47.019><c> specific</c><00:14:47.299><c> person,</c>

00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.879
they<00:14:47.820><c> would</c><00:14:48.000><c> make</c><00:14:48.220><c> a</c><00:14:48.519><c> decision</c><00:14:49.120><c> about</c><00:14:50.120><c> whether</c><00:14:50.379><c> to</c><00:14:50.559><c> consider</c>

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.639
it<00:14:51.100><c> scripture</c><00:14:51.419><c> or</c><00:14:51.679><c> not.</c>

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:54.220
Anyway,<00:14:53.799><c> like</c><00:14:54.019><c> I</c><00:14:54.139><c> said,</c>

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:56.320
I<00:14:54.320><c> just</c><00:14:54.519><c> wanted</c><00:14:54.639><c> to</c><00:14:54.779><c> bring</c><00:14:54.860><c> up</c><00:14:55.019><c> a</c><00:14:55.100><c> couple</c><00:14:55.299><c> of</c><00:14:55.519><c> principles</c><00:14:55.820><c> about</c><00:14:56.159><c> the</c>

00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:56.940
biblical<00:14:56.600><c> canon.</c>

00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.179
The<00:14:57.200><c> reason</c><00:14:57.480><c> I'm</c><00:14:57.600><c> not</c><00:14:57.779><c> going</c><00:14:58.000><c> into</c><00:14:58.259><c> it</c><00:14:58.600><c> in</c><00:14:58.759><c> more</c><00:14:58.960><c> depth</c>

00:14:59.179 --> 00:15:01.379
is<00:14:59.360><c> because</c><00:14:59.659><c> there's</c><00:14:59.940><c> very</c><00:15:00.179><c> little</c><00:15:00.379><c> criticism</c><00:15:00.840><c> about</c><00:15:01.139><c> it.</c>

00:15:01.820 --> 00:15:04.080
Even<00:15:02.100><c> people</c><00:15:02.379><c> who</c><00:15:02.639><c> are</c><00:15:02.779><c> Bible</c><00:15:03.179><c> skeptics</c>

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.200
might<00:15:04.399><c> bring</c><00:15:04.620><c> up</c><00:15:04.799><c> the</c><00:15:04.980><c> idea</c><00:15:05.200><c> of</c><00:15:05.360><c> the</c><00:15:05.519><c> Apocrypha</c><00:15:06.100><c> at</c><00:15:06.320><c> some</c><00:15:06.600><c> point</c><00:15:06.840><c> or</c><00:15:06.919><c> something,</c>

00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:11.159
but<00:15:07.740><c> rarely</c><00:15:08.120><c> is</c><00:15:08.700><c> there</c><00:15:08.980><c> any</c><00:15:09.240><c> contention</c><00:15:09.580><c> made</c><00:15:09.779><c> about</c><00:15:10.080><c> what</c><00:15:10.399><c> books</c><00:15:10.700><c> belong</c><00:15:11.039><c> in</c>

00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:12.019
the<00:15:11.299><c> Bible.</c>

00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:14.460
Whether<00:15:12.320><c> the</c><00:15:12.600><c> Gospel</c><00:15:13.019><c> according</c><00:15:13.340><c> to</c><00:15:13.600><c> Thomas</c><00:15:13.899><c> or</c><00:15:14.059><c> things</c><00:15:14.259><c> like</c>

00:15:14.460 --> 00:15:15.259
that<00:15:14.639><c> should</c><00:15:14.799><c> be</c><00:15:14.980><c> in</c><00:15:15.059><c> there.</c>

00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:17.700
So<00:15:15.679><c> that's</c><00:15:15.919><c> why</c><00:15:16.080><c> I'm</c><00:15:16.240><c> not</c><00:15:16.799><c> dealing</c><00:15:17.059><c> with</c><00:15:17.259><c> it</c><00:15:17.340><c> very</c><00:15:17.559><c> much,</c>

00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.960
is<00:15:17.879><c> because</c><00:15:18.720><c> skeptics</c><00:15:19.120><c> won't</c><00:15:19.320><c> make</c><00:15:19.519><c> a</c><00:15:19.620><c> big</c><00:15:19.759><c> deal</c><00:15:19.960><c> about</c><00:15:20.200><c> it.</c>

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:23.500
What<00:15:21.399><c> I</c><00:15:21.539><c> really</c><00:15:21.759><c> want</c><00:15:21.919><c> to</c><00:15:22.039><c> deal</c><00:15:22.159><c> with</c><00:15:22.360><c> today</c><00:15:22.620><c> is</c><00:15:22.820><c> the</c><00:15:23.019><c> idea</c><00:15:23.259><c> of</c>

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:24.919
textual<00:15:23.899><c> reliability.</c>

00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:27.120
How<00:15:25.139><c> do</c><00:15:25.340><c> you</c><00:15:25.440><c> know</c><00:15:25.580><c> that</c><00:15:25.759><c> something</c><00:15:25.980><c> that</c><00:15:26.139><c> was</c><00:15:26.320><c> written</c><00:15:26.519><c> 2</c><00:15:26.820><c>,000</c>

00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:27.620
years<00:15:27.340><c> ago</c>

00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:29.500
is<00:15:27.820><c> the</c><00:15:27.980><c> same</c><00:15:28.120><c> as</c><00:15:28.220><c> what</c><00:15:28.320><c> we</c><00:15:28.500><c> have</c><00:15:28.679><c> today?</c>

00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:34.279
Now<00:15:30.960><c> yesterday,</c><00:15:32.379><c> I</c><00:15:32.659><c> asked</c><00:15:32.980><c> who</c><00:15:33.159><c> all</c><00:15:33.360><c> here</c><00:15:33.480><c> has</c><00:15:33.639><c> played</c><00:15:33.779><c> telephone,</c>

00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:35.820
and<00:15:34.440><c> you</c><00:15:34.600><c> all</c><00:15:34.820><c> have,</c><00:15:35.080><c> right?</c>

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:37.960
When<00:15:36.019><c> was</c><00:15:36.179><c> the</c><00:15:36.279><c> last</c><00:15:36.440><c> time</c><00:15:36.580><c> you</c><00:15:36.639><c> had</c><00:15:36.700><c> about</c><00:15:36.860><c> third</c><00:15:37.139><c> grade?</c>

00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:39.679
Is<00:15:38.879><c> that</c><00:15:39.019><c> about</c><00:15:39.179><c> right?</c>

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:40.639
Okay,<00:15:40.120><c> something</c><00:15:40.279><c> like</c><00:15:40.519><c> that.</c>

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.580
We're<00:15:40.820><c> going</c><00:15:40.840><c> to</c><00:15:40.840><c> do</c><00:15:40.960><c> it</c><00:15:41.059><c> a</c><00:15:41.059><c> little</c><00:15:41.240><c> bit</c><00:15:41.399><c> again</c><00:15:41.580><c> today.</c>

00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:46.320
And<00:15:43.240><c> what</c><00:15:43.639><c> I</c><00:15:43.779><c> want</c><00:15:43.899><c> to</c><00:15:44.059><c> do</c><00:15:44.320><c> is</c><00:15:44.820><c> do</c><00:15:45.200><c> it</c><00:15:45.379><c> a</c><00:15:45.460><c> couple</c><00:15:45.700><c> of</c><00:15:45.940><c> different</c><00:15:46.120><c> ways.</c>

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.559

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:51.919
The<00:15:49.200><c> reason</c><00:15:49.500><c> is</c><00:15:49.700><c> I</c><00:15:49.759><c> want</c><00:15:50.580><c> to</c><00:15:50.679><c> demonstrate</c><00:15:51.259><c> to</c><00:15:51.500><c> you</c>

00:15:58.460 --> 00:16:00.220
Because<00:15:58.720><c> whether</c><00:15:58.879><c> it's</c><00:15:59.179><c> text</c><00:15:59.460><c> or</c><00:15:59.620><c> whether</c><00:15:59.840><c> it's</c><00:16:00.039><c> something</c>

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:01.740
that<00:16:00.419><c> you</c><00:16:00.700><c> say,</c>

00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:03.419
the<00:16:02.419><c> principles</c><00:16:02.799><c> are</c><00:16:02.980><c> the</c><00:16:03.159><c> same.</c>

Okay,<00:20:24.839><c> now,</c><00:20:27.220><c> this</c><00:20:27.500><c> side</c><00:20:27.720><c> of</c><00:20:27.839><c> the</c><00:20:27.960><c> room,</c><00:20:28.079><c> I</c><00:20:28.180><c> want</c><00:20:28.339><c> to</c><00:20:28.480><c> ask</c><00:20:28.640><c> you</c>

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:29.339
about<00:20:28.940><c> them.</c>

00:20:29.700 --> 00:20:31.539
What<00:20:29.839><c> do</c><00:20:30.019><c> you</c><00:20:30.039><c> think</c><00:20:30.180><c> my</c><00:20:30.359><c> zip</c><00:20:30.579><c> code</c><00:20:30.740><c> is?</c>

00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:33.839
I<00:20:31.839><c> think</c><00:20:32.079><c> it's</c><00:20:32.359><c> four,</c><00:20:32.539><c> six,</c><00:20:33.099><c> two,</c><00:20:33.319><c> five,</c><00:20:33.500><c> four.</c>

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.519
Why<00:20:34.140><c> do</c><00:20:34.259><c> you</c><00:20:34.319><c> say</c><00:20:34.519><c> that?</c>

00:20:36.619 --> 00:20:38.460
Because<00:20:37.059><c> they</c><00:20:37.500><c> all</c><00:20:37.759><c> say</c><00:20:37.960><c> it.</c>

00:20:38.539 --> 00:20:40.940
Okay,<00:20:38.980><c> because</c><00:20:39.259><c> there</c><00:20:39.380><c> was</c><00:20:39.559><c> two,</c><00:20:39.960><c> let's</c><00:20:40.160><c> say</c><00:20:40.400><c> three,</c><00:20:40.779><c> let's</c>

00:20:40.940 --> 00:20:41.700
forget<00:20:41.119><c> this</c><00:20:41.339><c> front</c><00:20:41.460><c> row.</c>

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:47.240
But<00:20:42.140><c> there</c><00:20:42.240><c> was</c><00:20:42.480><c> three</c><00:20:42.839><c> separate</c><00:20:43.180><c> groups</c><00:20:43.779><c> that</c><00:20:44.480><c> independently</c><00:20:45.400><c> all</c><00:20:46.519><c> said</c><00:20:46.980><c> the</c>

same<00:20:47.500><c> thing.</c>

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:51.579
If<00:20:48.940><c> all</c><00:20:49.279><c> three</c><00:20:49.539><c> groups</c><00:20:49.859><c> independently</c><00:20:50.539><c> say</c><00:20:50.839><c> the</c><00:20:51.059><c> same</c><00:20:51.259><c> thing,</c>

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:53.519
I<00:20:52.000><c> don't</c><00:20:52.319><c> care</c><00:20:52.640><c> one</c><00:20:52.920><c> bit</c><00:20:53.140><c> how</c><00:20:53.319><c> they</c>

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:53.680
did<00:20:53.599><c> it.</c>

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.000
I<00:20:53.779><c> don't</c><00:20:53.960><c> care</c><00:20:54.059><c> if</c><00:20:54.180><c> they</c><00:20:54.359><c> wrote</c><00:20:54.440><c> it</c><00:20:54.700><c> down.</c>

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:57.099
I<00:20:55.380><c> don't</c><00:20:55.619><c> care</c><00:20:55.799><c> if</c><00:20:55.940><c> they</c><00:20:56.319><c> wrote</c><00:20:56.460><c> it</c><00:20:56.579><c> on</c><00:20:56.680><c> their</c><00:20:56.980><c> hand.</c>

00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:59.400
I<00:20:57.180><c> don't</c><00:20:57.359><c> care</c><00:20:57.500><c> if</c><00:20:57.599><c> they</c><00:20:57.759><c> just</c><00:20:58.000><c> memorized</c><00:20:58.319><c> it</c><00:20:58.519><c> by</c><00:20:58.740><c> rote.</c>

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.119
However,<00:21:00.079><c> they</c><00:21:00.299><c> did</c><00:21:00.500><c> it</c><00:21:01.099><c> based</c><00:21:01.480><c> on</c><00:21:01.660><c> the</c><00:21:01.799><c> fact</c><00:21:01.940><c> that</c><00:21:02.259><c> independent</c><00:21:02.680><c> results</c>

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:04.339
are<00:21:03.299><c> the</c><00:21:03.519><c> same,</c><00:21:03.940><c> we</c><00:21:04.160><c> know</c>

00:21:04.339 --> 00:21:04.980
they're<00:21:04.640><c> accurate.</c>

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:06.420
Do<00:21:05.380><c> you</c><00:21:05.480><c> agree?</c>

00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:09.019
Okay,<00:21:07.599><c> this</c><00:21:07.799><c> side</c><00:21:07.900><c> of</c><00:21:08.039><c> the</c><00:21:08.059><c> class,</c><00:21:08.200><c> what's</c><00:21:08.380><c> my</c><00:21:08.539><c> phone</c><00:21:08.740><c> number?</c>

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.460
911.

00:21:11.500 --> 00:21:13.839
It<00:21:11.940><c> may</c><00:21:12.160><c> be</c><00:21:12.319><c> later,</c><00:21:12.559><c> I</c><00:21:12.779><c> don't</c><00:21:12.940><c> know.</c>

00:21:20.579 --> 00:21:23.720
317<00:21:21.059><c>-2900</c><00:21:21.539><c>-853,</c><00:21:22.420><c> which</c><00:21:22.559><c> is</c><00:21:22.700><c> what</c><00:21:22.819><c> I</c><00:21:23.000><c> told</c><00:21:23.140><c> the</c><00:21:23.339><c> three</c><00:21:23.460><c> people</c>

00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:24.880
over<00:21:23.940><c> here.</c>

00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.779
How<00:21:25.599><c> come</c><00:21:25.759><c> you</c><00:21:25.920><c> didn't</c><00:21:26.119><c> believe</c><00:21:26.460><c> any</c><00:21:26.759><c> of</c><00:21:26.920><c> them?</c>

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.180
Because<00:21:29.200><c> they</c><00:21:29.400><c> got</c><00:21:29.539><c> something</c><00:21:29.819><c> different.</c>

00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:31.640
I<00:21:30.539><c> don't</c><00:21:30.740><c> care</c><00:21:30.859><c> whether</c><00:21:31.039><c> they</c><00:21:31.279><c> wrote</c><00:21:31.400><c> it</c><00:21:31.619><c> down.</c>

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:37.619
So<00:21:31.819><c> the</c><00:21:31.980><c> point</c><00:21:32.180><c> is,</c><00:21:32.900><c> if</c><00:21:33.140><c> you</c><00:21:33.380><c> can</c><00:21:33.720><c> have</c><00:21:34.299><c> independent</c><00:21:35.619><c> means</c><00:21:36.680><c> of</c>

transmitting<00:21:38.160><c> something,</c><00:21:39.119><c> if</c><00:21:39.279><c> they</c><00:21:39.519><c> all</c>

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:43.279
Agree?

00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:48.259
And<00:21:44.160><c> if</c><00:21:44.339><c> you</c><00:21:44.799><c> transmit</c><00:21:45.160><c> it</c><00:21:45.380><c> independently</c><00:21:45.779><c> and</c><00:21:45.960><c> they</c><00:21:46.079><c> come</c><00:21:46.180><c> out</c><00:21:46.460><c> different,</c><00:21:48.200><c> at</c>

00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:49.180
best<00:21:48.599><c> one</c><00:21:48.819><c> of</c><00:21:48.920><c> them</c><00:21:49.000><c> is</c>

00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:49.420
right.

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.559
But<00:21:49.980><c> the</c><00:21:50.160><c> chances</c><00:21:50.440><c> are</c><00:21:51.059><c> they're</c><00:21:52.660><c> wrong.</c>

00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:58.000
That's<00:21:54.680><c> why</c><00:21:55.200><c> one</c><00:21:55.880><c> of</c><00:21:56.000><c> the</c><00:21:56.200><c> basic</c><00:21:56.599><c> tests</c><00:21:57.279><c> when</c><00:21:57.559><c> you're</c><00:21:57.819><c> trying</c>

00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:12.119
you<00:22:09.500><c> would</c><00:22:09.759><c> think</c><00:22:09.900><c> that</c><00:22:10.079><c> would</c><00:22:10.220><c> be</c><00:22:10.839><c> a</c><00:22:11.099><c> disaster</c><00:22:11.579><c> because</c><00:22:11.900><c> the</c>

00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:13.460

00:22:15.779 --> 00:22:19.980
And<00:22:15.880><c> yet</c><00:22:15.980><c> the</c><00:22:16.200><c> fact</c><00:22:16.440><c> is</c><00:22:17.099><c> that</c><00:22:18.119><c> by</c><00:22:18.440><c> that</c><00:22:18.759><c> time,</c><00:22:19.460><c> things</c><00:22:19.700><c> get</c>

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:55.160
Yes.

00:22:55.299 --> 00:22:57.019
That's<00:22:55.859><c> why</c><00:22:56.039><c> scholars</c><00:22:56.480><c> call</c><00:22:56.819><c> that.</c>

00:22:57.180 --> 00:23:04.180

00:25:16.819 --> 00:25:20.940
And<00:25:17.019><c> most</c><00:25:17.339><c> of</c><00:25:17.559><c> those</c><00:25:18.200><c> disagreements,</c><00:25:19.579><c> there's</c><00:25:20.220><c> usually</c><00:25:20.539><c> very</c>

00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:23.660
clear<00:25:21.160><c> reasons</c><00:25:21.799><c> for</c><00:25:22.200><c> why</c><00:25:22.420><c> they</c><00:25:22.740><c> disagree.</c>

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.460
One<00:25:25.400><c> other</c><00:25:25.559><c> point</c><00:25:25.720><c> before</c><00:25:25.940><c> we</c><00:25:26.079><c> look</c><00:25:26.240><c> at</c><00:25:26.299><c> some</c><00:25:26.500><c> of</c><00:25:26.579><c> these</c><00:25:26.839><c> disagreements</c><00:25:27.220><c> to</c>

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:36.099
there<00:25:34.920><c> were</c><00:25:35.099><c> some</c><00:25:35.299><c> of</c><00:25:35.420><c> the,</c><00:25:35.640><c> what</c><00:25:35.759><c> we</c><00:25:35.960><c> would</c>

the<00:25:39.319><c> church</c><00:25:39.539><c> who</c><00:25:39.700><c> wrote</c><00:25:39.960><c> commentaries</c>

about<00:25:40.960><c> the</c><00:25:41.180><c> Bible.</c>

00:25:42.220 --> 00:25:45.200
And<00:25:42.660><c> if</c><00:25:42.779><c> I</c><00:25:42.940><c> was</c><00:25:43.059><c> going</c><00:25:43.140><c> to</c><00:25:43.240><c> write</c><00:25:43.339><c> a</c><00:25:43.559><c> commentary</c><00:25:43.839><c> about</c><00:25:44.019><c> the</c><00:25:44.220><c> Bible,</c><00:25:44.559><c> occasionally</c><00:25:44.779><c> I'd</c><00:25:44.960><c> have</c><00:25:45.059><c> a</c>

the<00:25:45.619><c> Bible,</c><00:25:46.460><c> right?</c>

00:25:46.980 --> 00:25:49.720
I'd<00:25:47.359><c> say,</c><00:25:47.779><c> well,</c><00:25:47.779><c> from</c><00:25:48.160><c> Peter's</c><00:25:48.640><c> epistle,</c><00:25:49.160><c> first</c><00:25:49.400><c> epistle,</c>

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:51.059
such<00:25:50.140><c> and</c><00:25:50.359><c> such.</c>

00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.799
Well,<00:25:51.259><c> you</c><00:25:51.400><c> can</c><00:25:51.599><c> reconstruct</c><00:25:52.339><c> the</c><00:25:52.759><c> text</c><00:25:52.900><c> of</c><00:25:53.039><c> the</c><00:25:53.119><c> New</c><00:25:53.259><c> Testament</c><00:25:53.539><c> just</c>

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.859
from<00:25:53.960><c> those</c><00:25:54.279><c> early</c><00:25:54.559><c> church</c>

00:25:54.859 --> 00:25:55.740
fathers.

00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.059
So,<00:25:56.420><c> even</c><00:25:56.640><c> if</c><00:25:56.779><c> we</c><00:25:57.039><c> had</c><00:25:57.339><c> zero</c><00:25:57.779><c> text,</c><00:25:58.240><c> we</c><00:25:58.380><c> could</c><00:25:58.539><c> do</c><00:25:58.720><c> a</c><00:25:58.960><c> fairly</c><00:25:59.279><c> good</c><00:25:59.579><c> job</c><00:25:59.920><c> of</c>

00:26:00.059 --> 00:26:00.819
getting<00:26:00.220><c> an</c><00:26:00.400><c> idea</c><00:26:00.539><c> of</c><00:26:00.640><c> what</c>

00:26:00.819 --> 00:26:02.299
the<00:26:00.900><c> New</c><00:26:01.079><c> Testament</c><00:26:01.420><c> said.</c>

00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:03.220
Okay?

00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:05.819
So,<00:26:03.720><c> there's</c><00:26:03.859><c> not</c><00:26:04.220><c> only</c><00:26:04.460><c> the</c><00:26:04.539><c> number</c><00:26:04.779><c> of</c><00:26:05.019><c> texts</c><00:26:05.319><c> themselves,</c>

00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:07.940
but<00:26:06.019><c> also</c><00:26:06.319><c> from</c><00:26:06.519><c> the</c><00:26:06.599><c> early</c><00:26:06.779><c> church</c><00:26:07.079><c> fathers.</c>

00:26:08.380 --> 00:26:12.559
There<00:26:08.519><c> are</c><00:26:08.799><c> a</c><00:26:09.180><c> couple</c><00:26:09.420><c> of</c><00:26:10.599><c> cases</c><00:26:10.980><c> where</c><00:26:11.200><c> you</c><00:26:11.480><c> have,</c><00:26:12.359><c> and</c><00:26:12.460><c> let</c>

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:13.799
me<00:26:12.680><c> actually</c><00:26:12.920><c> show</c><00:26:13.059><c> you</c><00:26:13.140><c> where</c><00:26:13.259><c> the</c><00:26:13.400><c> majorities</c>

00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:14.900
are.

00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:16.819
Valerie?

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:18.599
Is<00:26:17.619><c> that</c><00:26:17.839><c> right?</c>

00:26:18.900 --> 00:26:20.299
Mandy,<00:26:19.180><c> I'm</c><00:26:19.440><c> sorry.</c>

00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:22.839
Valerie<00:26:22.240><c> stuck</c><00:26:22.460><c> in</c><00:26:22.579><c> my</c><00:26:22.700><c> mind.</c>

00:26:23.099 --> 00:26:26.420
I<00:26:23.259><c> want</c><00:26:23.420><c> you</c><00:26:23.579><c> to</c><00:26:23.779><c> read</c><00:26:24.019><c> Matthew</c><00:26:24.920><c> chapter</c><00:26:25.539><c> 20.</c>

00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:36.940
Matthew<00:26:32.319><c> chapter</c><00:26:32.740><c> 20,</c><00:26:34.539><c> verses</c><00:26:34.640><c> 21</c><00:26:35.319><c> through</c><00:26:35.640><c> 23.</c>

00:27:19.140 --> 00:27:20.000
Okay.

00:27:23.779 --> 00:27:25.720
Now,<00:27:24.140><c> it</c><00:27:24.500><c> depends</c><00:27:24.779><c> on</c><00:27:24.920><c> what</c><00:27:25.039><c> kind</c><00:27:25.180><c> of</c><00:27:25.279><c> Bible</c><00:27:25.420><c> you</c><00:27:25.599><c> have.</c>

00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:28.339
Some<00:27:25.960><c> of</c><00:27:26.079><c> them</c><00:27:26.240><c> may</c><00:27:26.460><c> have</c><00:27:26.640><c> footnoted</c><00:27:27.119><c> that</c><00:27:27.240><c> in</c><00:27:27.380><c> verse</c><00:27:27.640><c> 22</c><00:27:28.119><c> and</c>

baptized<00:27:35.779><c> with.</c>

00:27:36.019 --> 00:27:36.960
Yeah,<00:27:36.160><c> it</c><00:27:36.220><c> does</c><00:27:36.319><c> use</c><00:27:36.440><c> it</c><00:27:36.519><c> three</c><00:27:36.720><c> times.</c>

00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:39.420
Does<00:27:37.400><c> anybody</c><00:27:37.559><c> have</c><00:27:37.740><c> a</c><00:27:37.880><c> footnote</c><00:27:38.079><c> there</c><00:27:38.259><c> that</c><00:27:38.400><c> maybe</c><00:27:38.660><c> it</c><00:27:38.880><c> doesn't</c><00:27:39.039><c> belong</c><00:27:39.299><c> in</c>

00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:40.359

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:42.460
Okay.

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.299
Okay,<00:27:44.460><c> it</c><00:27:44.519><c> doesn't</c><00:27:44.700><c> say</c><00:27:44.839><c> anything</c><00:27:45.000><c> about</c><00:27:45.160><c> it,</c><00:27:45.200><c> so</c><00:27:45.279><c> they've</c><00:27:45.460><c> already</c><00:27:45.680><c> taken</c><00:27:45.880><c> it</c><00:27:46.119><c> out.</c>

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:50.240
That's<00:27:46.920><c> because</c><00:27:47.259><c> in</c><00:27:47.559><c> some</c><00:27:47.779><c> of</c><00:27:47.940><c> the</c><00:27:48.140><c> text,</c><00:27:48.740><c> it</c><00:27:49.079><c> has</c><00:27:49.440><c> it,</c><00:27:49.700><c> okay?</c>

00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:52.980
And<00:27:50.640><c> in</c><00:27:50.680><c> some</c><00:27:50.859><c> of</c><00:27:51.000><c> them,</c><00:27:51.099><c> it</c><00:27:51.200><c> doesn't,</c><00:27:51.740><c> if</c><00:27:51.960><c> you</c><00:27:52.160><c> start</c><00:27:52.319><c> comparing</c><00:27:52.640><c> these,</c>

00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.619
Let<00:27:55.859><c> me</c><00:27:55.920><c> ask</c><00:27:56.059><c> you</c><00:27:56.200><c> a</c><00:27:56.240><c> question.</c>

00:27:56.619 --> 00:27:59.660
Was<00:27:57.640><c> that</c><00:27:57.980><c> something</c><00:27:58.319><c> that</c><00:27:58.539><c> Matthew</c><00:27:58.859><c> originally</c><00:27:59.240><c> wrote</c><00:27:59.420><c> down</c>

00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:01.000
or<00:27:59.859><c> not?</c>

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:04.000
How<00:28:02.819><c> can</c><00:28:02.960><c> you</c><00:28:03.079><c> decide?</c>

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:09.880
That's<00:28:07.660><c> what</c><00:28:07.839><c> textual</c><00:28:08.279><c> criticism</c><00:28:08.700><c> is</c><00:28:08.960><c> about,</c><00:28:09.440><c> okay?</c>

00:28:09.900 --> 00:28:12.140
And<00:28:10.140><c> occasionally,</c><00:28:10.680><c> you</c><00:28:10.819><c> do</c><00:28:11.160><c> find</c><00:28:11.420><c> disagreements</c><00:28:11.900><c> between</c>

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:17.559
Now,<00:28:14.400><c> Hannah,</c><00:28:15.319><c> okay,</c><00:28:15.779><c> let's</c><00:28:15.980><c> look</c><00:28:16.160><c> at</c><00:28:16.259><c> the</c><00:28:16.599><c> parallel</c><00:28:16.960><c> passage</c>

00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:01.660
Okay,<00:28:58.299><c> does</c><00:28:58.440><c> everybody's</c><00:28:58.940><c> Bible</c><00:28:59.180><c> have</c><00:28:59.559><c> about</c><00:28:59.859><c> the</c><00:29:00.079><c> baptism</c><00:29:00.480><c> part?</c>

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.279
Does<00:29:02.859><c> anybody</c><00:29:03.019><c> have</c><00:29:03.180><c> a</c><00:29:03.339><c> footnote</c><00:29:03.579><c> that</c><00:29:03.759><c> says</c><00:29:03.880><c> it</c><00:29:04.140><c> maybe</c>

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:05.579
doesn't<00:29:04.500><c> belong</c><00:29:04.779><c> there?</c>

00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:05.980
Okay.

00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:09.420
In<00:29:06.400><c> Matthew,</c><00:29:07.420><c> there</c><00:29:07.619><c> is</c><00:29:07.819><c> a</c><00:29:08.019><c> textual</c><00:29:08.440><c> question</c><00:29:08.900><c> about</c><00:29:09.200><c> whether</c>

00:29:09.420 --> 00:29:10.980
it<00:29:09.680><c> belongs</c><00:29:09.900><c> or</c><00:29:10.160><c> not.</c>

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:16.099
In<00:29:11.259><c> Mark,</c><00:29:12.740><c> okay,</c><00:29:13.039><c> all</c><00:29:13.279><c> of</c><00:29:13.440><c> the</c><00:29:13.680><c> texts</c><00:29:14.039><c> say</c><00:29:14.599><c> that</c><00:29:15.000><c> it</c><00:29:15.259><c> belongs.</c>

00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:17.519
So<00:29:16.640><c> let's</c><00:29:16.759><c> go</c><00:29:16.940><c> back</c><00:29:17.099><c> to</c><00:29:17.279><c> Matthew.</c>

00:29:17.539 --> 00:29:19.400
Do<00:29:17.700><c> you</c><00:29:17.799><c> think</c><00:29:17.920><c> it</c><00:29:18.099><c> belongs</c><00:29:18.359><c> or</c><00:29:18.579><c> not?</c>

00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:27.039
Okay,<00:29:25.160><c> whether</c><00:29:25.319><c> it</c><00:29:25.480><c> matters</c><00:29:25.619><c> or</c><00:29:25.799><c> not,</c><00:29:25.880><c> let</c><00:29:25.980><c> me</c><00:29:26.099><c> just</c><00:29:26.380><c> set</c><00:29:26.539><c> aside</c><00:29:26.759><c> for</c>

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:27.259
a<00:29:27.039><c> second.</c>

00:29:27.460 --> 00:29:29.599
So<00:29:27.579><c> you</c><00:29:27.680><c> think</c><00:29:27.759><c> it</c><00:29:27.900><c> belongs</c><00:29:28.140><c> in</c><00:29:28.319><c> Matthew</c><00:29:28.539><c> or</c><00:29:28.740><c> not?</c>

00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:31.519
I<00:29:30.559><c> disagree.</c>

00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:33.059
Here's<00:29:32.720><c> why.</c>

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:38.420
Suppose<00:29:33.859><c> you're</c><00:29:34.220><c> a</c><00:29:34.359><c> scribe,</c><00:29:35.140><c> okay,</c><00:29:35.859><c> and</c><00:29:36.019><c> you're</c><00:29:37.299><c> copying</c><00:29:37.579><c> Matthew</c><00:29:38.140><c> out,</c><00:29:38.420><c> you</c>

00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:39.380
know,<00:29:38.680><c> line</c><00:29:38.779><c> by</c><00:29:39.059><c> line,</c>

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:41.660
line<00:29:39.839><c> by</c><00:29:40.079><c> line,</c><00:29:40.380><c> and</c><00:29:40.680><c> you</c><00:29:40.779><c> get</c><00:29:40.920><c> to</c><00:29:41.019><c> this</c><00:29:41.220><c> passage.</c>

00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:44.480
And<00:29:42.039><c> let's</c><00:29:42.200><c> say</c><00:29:42.420><c> that</c><00:29:42.640><c> originally</c><00:29:42.980><c> it</c><00:29:43.119><c> did</c><00:29:43.339><c> have</c><00:29:43.539><c> it</c><00:29:43.700><c> in.</c>

00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:49.380
Why<00:29:45.460><c> would</c><00:29:45.619><c> you</c><00:29:45.859><c> take</c><00:29:46.019><c> it</c><00:29:46.339><c> out</c><00:29:47.220><c> and</c><00:29:48.319><c> go</c><00:29:48.519><c> on?</c>

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:56.259
Okay,<00:29:51.160><c> and</c><00:29:51.200><c> then</c><00:29:51.380><c> in</c><00:29:51.660><c> Mark,</c><00:29:53.400><c> copy</c><00:29:55.079><c> it.</c>

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:58.279
It<00:29:57.140><c> doesn't</c><00:29:57.359><c> seem</c><00:29:57.539><c> to</c><00:29:57.680><c> make</c><00:29:57.819><c> sense.</c>

00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:01.960
However,<00:29:59.180><c> if</c><00:29:59.359><c> it</c><00:29:59.640><c> originally</c><00:30:00.059><c> wasn't</c><00:30:00.440><c> in</c><00:30:00.720><c> Matthew,</c><00:30:01.640><c> what</c><00:30:01.799><c> you</c>

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:03.059
would<00:30:02.119><c> do</c><00:30:02.240><c> is</c><00:30:02.359><c> you'd</c><00:30:02.519><c> be</c><00:30:02.660><c> writing</c><00:30:02.799><c> out</c>

00:30:03.059 --> 00:30:05.720
Mark<00:30:03.339><c> or</c><00:30:03.559><c> in</c><00:30:03.700><c> Matthew,</c><00:30:04.440><c> and</c><00:30:04.559><c> then</c><00:30:04.680><c> you'd</c><00:30:04.839><c> say,</c><00:30:04.980><c> you</c><00:30:05.019><c> know</c><00:30:05.220><c> what,</c><00:30:05.500><c> this</c>

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:06.359
really<00:30:06.039><c> is</c><00:30:06.140><c> supposed</c><00:30:06.259><c> to,</c>

00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:09.940
because<00:30:06.599><c> I</c><00:30:06.720><c> know</c><00:30:06.880><c> from</c><00:30:07.160><c> Mark</c><00:30:07.380><c> it</c><00:30:07.539><c> belongs,</c><00:30:08.259><c> so</c><00:30:08.460><c> you</c><00:30:08.619><c> add</c><00:30:08.740><c> that</c><00:30:08.980><c> in.</c>

00:30:10.140 --> 00:30:12.779
Okay,<00:30:10.420><c> and</c><00:30:10.519><c> then</c><00:30:10.559><c> when</c><00:30:10.619><c> you</c><00:30:10.680><c> get</c><00:30:10.759><c> to</c><00:30:10.960><c> Mark,</c><00:30:11.200><c> you</c><00:30:11.339><c> write</c><00:30:11.400><c> it</c><00:30:11.539><c> just</c><00:30:11.680><c> like</c><00:30:11.819><c> it</c><00:30:12.000><c> is.</c>

00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:17.779
Okay,<00:30:14.220><c> that's</c><00:30:14.500><c> why</c><00:30:14.900><c> actually</c><00:30:15.559><c> the</c><00:30:15.779><c> majority</c><00:30:16.339><c> of</c><00:30:17.019><c> texts</c><00:30:17.480><c> where</c>

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:19.160
there's<00:30:17.980><c> a</c><00:30:18.180><c> question,</c>

00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:21.819
it's<00:30:19.619><c> something</c><00:30:19.799><c> like</c><00:30:20.119><c> this,</c><00:30:20.420><c> where</c><00:30:20.500><c> there's</c><00:30:20.680><c> an</c><00:30:20.900><c> addition</c><00:30:21.119><c> because</c><00:30:21.480><c> of</c><00:30:21.660><c> a</c>

00:30:21.819 --> 00:30:23.119
parallel<00:30:22.079><c> passage.</c>

00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:25.099
There's<00:30:23.359><c> no</c><00:30:23.539><c> reason,</c><00:30:23.839><c> if</c><00:30:23.960><c> you</c><00:30:24.119><c> were</c><00:30:24.240><c> going</c><00:30:24.380><c> to</c><00:30:24.500><c> omit</c><00:30:24.619><c> it,</c><00:30:24.759><c> you'd</c><00:30:24.960><c> omit</c>

00:30:25.099 --> 00:30:26.480
it<00:30:25.259><c> from</c><00:30:25.400><c> both</c><00:30:25.619><c> if</c><00:30:25.759><c> you</c><00:30:25.920><c> were</c><00:30:26.059><c> a</c><00:30:26.160><c> scribe.</c>

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:28.420
Does<00:30:26.980><c> that</c><00:30:27.140><c> sound</c><00:30:27.359><c> reasonable?</c>

00:30:34.019 --> 00:30:38.079
Okay,<00:30:34.799><c> that's</c><00:30:35.099><c> why</c><00:30:35.359><c> actually</c><00:30:35.799><c> a</c><00:30:35.940><c> lot</c><00:30:36.119><c> of</c><00:30:36.279><c> these</c><00:30:36.539><c> textual</c><00:30:37.000><c> questions,</c><00:30:37.900><c> if</c>

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:38.740
you<00:30:38.220><c> have</c><00:30:38.339><c> somebody</c><00:30:38.539><c> come</c><00:30:38.660><c> up</c>

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:41.319
and<00:30:38.740><c> you</c><00:30:38.759><c> say,</c><00:30:39.140><c> oh,</c><00:30:39.200><c> you</c><00:30:39.420><c> don't</c><00:30:39.619><c> know,</c><00:30:39.880><c> you</c><00:30:40.000><c> know,</c><00:30:40.380><c> you</c><00:30:40.539><c> got</c><00:30:40.740><c> footnotes</c><00:30:41.079><c> in</c><00:30:41.220><c> here.</c>

00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:43.599
I<00:30:41.420><c> mean,</c><00:30:42.019><c> whether</c><00:30:42.160><c> it</c><00:30:42.400><c> belongs</c><00:30:42.559><c> or</c><00:30:42.740><c> not,</c><00:30:42.920><c> who</c><00:30:43.140><c> knows?</c>

00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:46.519
A<00:30:44.240><c> lot</c><00:30:44.420><c> of</c><00:30:44.619><c> times,</c><00:30:44.940><c> if</c><00:30:45.099><c> you</c><00:30:45.299><c> use</c><00:30:45.440><c> a</c><00:30:45.559><c> little</c><00:30:45.779><c> common</c><00:30:46.079><c> sense</c><00:30:46.339><c> and</c>

00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:48.720
think<00:30:46.740><c> about</c><00:30:46.980><c> it,</c><00:30:47.200><c> it</c><00:30:47.440><c> makes</c><00:30:47.680><c> sense.</c>

00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:53.920
Okay,<00:30:49.359><c> and</c><00:30:49.660><c> so</c><00:30:50.039><c> even</c><00:30:50.539><c> though</c><00:30:51.420><c> the</c><00:30:51.900><c> New</c><00:30:52.079><c> Testament</c><00:30:52.400><c> text</c><00:30:52.660><c> to</c><00:30:52.859><c> start</c><00:30:53.079><c> with</c><00:30:53.380><c> is</c>

00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:57.819
99<00:30:54.359><c>%</c><00:30:55.920><c> accurate,</c>

00:30:57.859 --> 00:31:01.500
in<00:30:58.059><c> the</c><00:30:58.240><c> few</c><00:30:58.380><c> cases</c><00:30:59.019><c> where</c><00:30:59.680><c> there</c><00:31:00.039><c> is</c><00:31:00.240><c> a</c><00:31:00.420><c> question,</c><00:31:01.339><c> a</c><00:31:01.359><c> lot</c><00:31:01.440><c> of</c>

00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:02.839
times<00:31:01.579><c> if</c><00:31:01.720><c> you</c><00:31:01.779><c> just</c><00:31:01.940><c> put</c><00:31:02.039><c> some</c><00:31:02.279><c> thought</c><00:31:02.460><c> into</c><00:31:02.700><c> it,</c>

00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:03.460
it<00:31:02.960><c> makes</c><00:31:03.180><c> sense.</c>

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:05.740
Okay,<00:31:03.660><c> this</c><00:31:03.859><c> is</c><00:31:04.000><c> just</c><00:31:04.200><c> one</c><00:31:04.380><c> example</c><00:31:04.759><c> out</c><00:31:04.920><c> of</c><00:31:05.059><c> many.</c>

00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:09.660
Now,<00:31:06.099><c> whether</c><00:31:06.319><c> it</c><00:31:06.539><c> belongs</c><00:31:06.759><c> in</c><00:31:06.980><c> Matthew</c><00:31:07.220><c> or</c><00:31:07.460><c> not,</c><00:31:08.480><c> what</c><00:31:08.640><c> I</c><00:31:08.859><c> would</c><00:31:09.339><c> be</c>

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:10.900
myself<00:31:10.140><c> inclined</c><00:31:10.339><c> to</c><00:31:10.559><c> say</c><00:31:10.700><c> is</c>

00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:14.059
that<00:31:11.079><c> it</c><00:31:11.339><c> was</c><00:31:11.819><c> what</c><00:31:12.160><c> was</c><00:31:12.500><c> originally</c><00:31:12.779><c> spoken</c><00:31:13.140><c> of</c><00:31:13.299><c> by</c><00:31:13.539><c> Jesus,</c>

00:31:14.099 --> 00:31:15.019
but<00:31:14.279><c> for</c><00:31:14.519><c> some</c><00:31:14.740><c> reason,</c>

00:31:15.059 --> 00:31:18.420
Matthew<00:31:15.440><c> didn't</c><00:31:15.900><c> choose</c><00:31:16.319><c> to</c><00:31:17.140><c> put</c><00:31:17.299><c> it</c><00:31:17.480><c> in.</c>

00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.000
So,<00:31:20.240><c> which,</c><00:31:20.640><c> you</c><00:31:20.740><c> know,</c><00:31:20.960><c> all</c><00:31:21.039><c> of</c><00:31:21.200><c> these,</c><00:31:21.539><c> a</c><00:31:21.660><c> lot</c><00:31:21.740><c> of</c><00:31:21.859><c> these</c>

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:22.480
scriptural<00:31:22.299><c> things,</c>

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:24.400
when<00:31:22.599><c> you're</c><00:31:22.799><c> recording</c><00:31:23.099><c> what</c><00:31:23.279><c> somebody</c><00:31:23.539><c> said,</c><00:31:24.000><c> they're</c>

00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:25.660
condensed<00:31:24.700><c> anyway.</c>

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.099
But<00:31:27.279><c> that's</c><00:31:27.559><c> just</c><00:31:27.859><c> a</c><00:31:28.180><c> point</c><00:31:28.380><c> about</c><00:31:28.819><c> how</c><00:31:29.180><c> the</c><00:31:29.380><c> text</c><00:31:29.519><c> was</c><00:31:29.819><c> transmitted.</c>

00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:31.759
Let's<00:31:30.799><c> jump</c><00:31:31.019><c> to</c><00:31:31.180><c> the</c><00:31:31.299><c> Old</c><00:31:31.480><c> Testament.</c>

00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.619
We're<00:31:32.279><c> going</c><00:31:32.480><c> through</c><00:31:32.660><c> time</c><00:31:32.839><c> a</c><00:31:32.940><c> little</c><00:31:33.039><c> quicker</c><00:31:33.279><c> than</c><00:31:33.420><c> I</c><00:31:33.579><c> thought</c><00:31:33.700><c> here,</c><00:31:34.299><c> running</c><00:31:34.440><c> out</c>

00:31:34.619 --> 00:31:35.460
of<00:31:34.740><c> time.</c>

00:31:37.579 --> 00:31:43.240
The<00:31:38.059><c> Old</c><00:31:38.440><c> Testament,</c><00:31:39.599><c> we</c><00:31:39.859><c> can</c><00:31:40.039><c> approach</c><00:31:40.319><c> a</c><00:31:40.460><c> little</c><00:31:40.660><c> bit</c><00:31:40.920><c> differently,</c><00:31:42.019><c> okay,</c>

00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:45.180
in<00:31:44.559><c> two</c><00:31:44.859><c> ways.</c>

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:46.960
There's<00:31:45.420><c> two</c><00:31:45.599><c> ways</c><00:31:45.779><c> that</c><00:31:45.940><c> we</c><00:31:46.019><c> can</c><00:31:46.160><c> look</c><00:31:46.400><c> at</c><00:31:46.539><c> it.</c>

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:49.200
Number<00:31:47.440><c> one</c><00:31:47.559><c> is</c><00:31:47.700><c> by</c><00:31:47.900><c> understanding</c><00:31:48.259><c> how</c><00:31:48.579><c> they</c><00:31:48.900><c> transmitted</c>

00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:49.779
the<00:31:49.500><c> text.</c>

00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:53.880
Suppose<00:31:50.579><c> I</c><00:31:51.000><c> started</c><00:31:51.319><c> over</c><00:31:51.579><c> here</c><00:31:51.720><c> with</c><00:31:52.220><c> Michael,</c><00:31:53.460><c> okay,</c><00:31:53.720><c> gave</c>

00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:54.859
him<00:31:54.000><c> my</c><00:31:54.220><c> phone</c><00:31:54.440><c> number,</c>

00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.519
and<00:31:55.119><c> I</c><00:31:55.279><c> wrote</c><00:31:55.420><c> it</c><00:31:55.619><c> down</c><00:31:55.819><c> for</c><00:31:55.940><c> him</c><00:31:55.980><c> on</c><00:31:56.119><c> a</c><00:31:56.220><c> piece</c><00:31:56.339><c> of</c><00:31:56.519><c> paper,</c><00:31:57.339><c> and</c>

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:59.500
then<00:31:57.660><c> he</c><00:31:57.900><c> copied</c><00:31:58.259><c> it,</c><00:31:58.920><c> okay,</c>

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:04.619
and<00:32:00.119><c> let's</c><00:32:00.440><c> use</c><00:32:00.579><c> my</c><00:32:00.779><c> zip</c><00:32:00.960><c> code</c><00:32:01.079><c> because</c><00:32:01.200><c> it's</c><00:32:01.420><c> easier,</c><00:32:01.720><c> 46254,</c><00:32:03.859><c> okay,</c>

00:32:04.619 --> 00:32:06.960
and<00:32:05.099><c> then</c><00:32:05.119><c> he</c><00:32:05.339><c> applied</c><00:32:05.599><c> a</c><00:32:05.740><c> little</c><00:32:05.940><c> test.</c>

00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:09.380
And<00:32:07.180><c> so</c><00:32:07.299><c> what</c><00:32:07.400><c> he</c><00:32:07.500><c> did</c><00:32:07.579><c> was</c><00:32:07.720><c> he</c><00:32:07.900><c> added</c><00:32:08.019><c> up</c><00:32:08.220><c> the</c><00:32:08.440><c> digits,</c><00:32:09.380><c> okay,</c>

00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:13.839
4,<00:32:10.099><c> 10,</c><00:32:10.619><c> 12,</c><00:32:11.460><c> 17,</c><00:32:12.279><c> 21,</c><00:32:12.779><c> right?</c>

00:32:14.660 --> 00:32:17.920
So<00:32:15.059><c> he</c><00:32:15.220><c> not</c><00:32:15.400><c> only</c><00:32:15.599><c> copied</c><00:32:15.920><c> the</c><00:32:16.160><c> text</c><00:32:16.440><c> itself,</c><00:32:17.160><c> but</c><00:32:17.359><c> also</c><00:32:17.700><c> added</c>

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:19.759
up<00:32:18.119><c> the</c><00:32:18.299><c> digits,</c><00:32:19.099><c> okay,</c>

00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.759
gives<00:32:19.880><c> it</c><00:32:20.059><c> to</c><00:32:20.200><c> the</c><00:32:20.339><c> next</c><00:32:20.559><c> person,</c><00:32:21.400><c> and</c><00:32:21.779><c> so</c><00:32:22.000><c> on</c><00:32:22.180><c> and</c><00:32:22.259><c> so</c><00:32:22.559><c> on.</c>

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:23.660
Okay,<00:32:23.099><c> you</c><00:32:23.140><c> see</c><00:32:23.180><c> what</c><00:32:23.279><c> I'm</c><00:32:23.380><c> saying?</c>

00:32:23.819 --> 00:32:25.799
There's<00:32:24.019><c> an</c><00:32:24.160><c> independent</c><00:32:24.400><c> way</c><00:32:24.579><c> of</c><00:32:24.720><c> checking</c><00:32:24.920><c> this.</c>

00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:29.359
The<00:32:26.799><c> Jews,</c><00:32:27.180><c> when</c><00:32:27.339><c> they</c><00:32:27.480><c> would</c><00:32:27.700><c> copy</c><00:32:28.059><c> out</c><00:32:28.279><c> the</c><00:32:28.420><c> Old</c><00:32:28.579><c> Testament</c><00:32:28.940><c> scriptures,</c>

00:32:29.859 --> 00:32:32.240
you<00:32:30.039><c> will</c><00:32:30.279><c> find</c><00:32:30.440><c> this,</c><00:32:30.660><c> they</c><00:32:30.779><c> would</c><00:32:30.940><c> call</c><00:32:31.079><c> it</c><00:32:31.440><c> the</c><00:32:31.680><c> Masoretes,</c>

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:36.440
what<00:32:33.079><c> they</c><00:32:33.319><c> did</c><00:32:33.819><c> was</c><00:32:34.180><c> they</c><00:32:34.359><c> not</c><00:32:34.480><c> only</c><00:32:34.720><c> copied</c><00:32:35.039><c> out</c><00:32:35.299><c> the</c><00:32:35.500><c> text,</c>

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:39.220
when<00:32:36.640><c> they</c><00:32:36.819><c> were</c><00:32:37.019><c> done,</c><00:32:37.559><c> they</c><00:32:37.660><c> counted</c><00:32:37.900><c> up</c><00:32:38.079><c> all</c><00:32:38.240><c> the</c><00:32:38.380><c> letters.</c>

00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:43.220
Amazing<00:32:42.180><c> how</c><00:32:42.299><c> much</c><00:32:42.460><c> time</c><00:32:42.619><c> you</c><00:32:42.720><c> have</c><00:32:42.740><c> when</c><00:32:42.839><c> you</c><00:32:42.900><c> don't</c><00:32:42.980><c> have</c><00:32:43.099><c> a</c>

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.660
But<00:32:45.940><c> they</c><00:32:46.079><c> would</c><00:32:46.299><c> write</c><00:32:46.500><c> out,</c><00:32:46.680><c> for</c><00:32:46.880><c> example,</c><00:32:47.279><c> a</c><00:32:47.420><c> sentence,</c>

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:49.519

00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:54.039
but<00:32:50.740><c> they'd</c><00:32:50.900><c> say,</c><00:32:51.099><c> oh,</c><00:32:51.140><c> there</c><00:32:51.220><c> was</c><00:32:51.420><c> 12</c><00:32:51.720><c> A's,</c><00:32:53.619><c> and</c><00:32:53.759><c> there</c><00:32:53.859><c> was</c>

00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:57.940

00:32:58.220 --> 00:33:00.900
And<00:32:58.460><c> so</c><00:32:58.619><c> after</c><00:32:58.900><c> they</c><00:32:59.240><c> copied</c><00:32:59.519><c> out</c><00:32:59.880><c> their</c><00:33:00.279><c> new</c><00:33:00.500><c> sentence,</c>

00:33:00.900 --> 00:33:04.779

00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:14.059
They'd<00:33:12.359><c> throw</c><00:33:12.519><c> the</c><00:33:12.660><c> whole</c><00:33:12.859><c> thing</c><00:33:13.039><c> in</c><00:33:13.180><c> the</c><00:33:13.319><c> trash</c><00:33:13.579><c> and</c><00:33:13.720><c> burn</c><00:33:13.920><c> it</c>

and<00:35:37.659><c> they</c><00:35:38.039><c> compared</c><00:35:38.320><c> them</c><00:35:38.980><c> to</c><00:35:39.360><c> what</c><00:35:39.559><c> we</c><00:35:39.820><c> have</c><00:35:40.019><c> today,</c>

00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:47.219
and<00:35:41.420><c> it</c><00:35:41.659><c> is</c><00:35:42.420><c> something</c><00:35:42.679><c> on</c><00:35:42.820><c> the</c><00:35:42.940><c> orders</c><00:35:43.079><c> like</c><00:35:43.340><c> 99</c><00:35:43.719><c>.98</c><00:35:45.000><c>%</c><00:35:45.739><c> the</c><00:35:46.000><c> same.</c>

00:35:48.619 --> 00:35:52.400
My<00:35:48.800><c> point</c><00:35:49.039><c> is,</c><00:35:49.980><c> if</c><00:35:50.179><c> you</c><00:35:50.400><c> can</c><00:35:50.579><c> show</c><00:35:50.900><c> that</c><00:35:51.159><c> over</c><00:35:51.420><c> this</c><00:35:51.659><c> time</c><00:35:51.900><c> period</c><00:35:52.099><c> it's</c>

00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:53.260
that<00:35:52.719><c> accurate,</c>

00:35:53.579 --> 00:35:58.159
you<00:35:53.699><c> can</c><00:35:53.940><c> extrapolate</c><00:35:54.559><c> and</c><00:35:54.739><c> say</c><00:35:54.900><c> that</c><00:35:55.059><c> during</c><00:35:55.280><c> this</c><00:35:55.500><c> time</c><00:35:55.800><c> period,</c><00:35:57.019><c> okay,</c><00:35:57.900><c> it</c>

00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:59.400
would<00:35:58.340><c> be</c><00:35:58.579><c> similar.</c>

00:35:59.460 --> 00:36:02.659
That<00:35:59.800><c> is</c><00:36:00.000><c> how</c><00:36:00.380><c> accurately</c><00:36:00.719><c> the</c><00:36:01.039><c> Old</c><00:36:01.179><c> Testament</c><00:36:01.420><c> has</c><00:36:01.619><c> been</c><00:36:01.840><c> transmitted</c><00:36:02.219><c> over</c><00:36:02.500><c> the</c>

00:36:04.900 --> 00:36:07.920
and<00:36:05.119><c> so</c><00:36:05.380><c> it's</c><00:36:05.679><c> fair</c><00:36:05.880><c> to</c><00:36:06.179><c> assume</c><00:36:06.659><c> that</c><00:36:07.159><c> over</c><00:36:07.360><c> the</c><00:36:07.639><c> earlier,</c>

00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:11.159
there's<00:36:08.139><c> no</c><00:36:08.380><c> reason</c><00:36:08.579><c> to</c><00:36:08.800><c> believe</c><00:36:09.179><c> that</c><00:36:09.380><c> it</c><00:36:09.519><c> would</c><00:36:09.659><c> be</c><00:36:10.340><c> screwed</c>

00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:17.179
and<00:36:13.360><c> then</c><00:36:14.059><c> suddenly,</c><00:36:15.780><c> you</c><00:36:15.980><c> know,</c><00:36:16.420><c> they</c><00:36:16.619><c> get</c><00:36:16.820><c> accurate.</c>

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:22.659
There's<00:36:17.840><c> one</c><00:36:18.079><c> other</c><00:36:18.460><c> basic</c><00:36:18.940><c> way</c><00:36:19.420><c> to</c><00:36:19.739><c> test</c><00:36:20.380><c> the</c><00:36:21.400><c> integrity</c><00:36:21.960><c> of</c><00:36:22.360><c> anything.</c>

00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:26.980
Let's<00:36:23.159><c> go</c><00:36:23.360><c> back</c><00:36:23.579><c> and</c><00:36:23.679><c> use</c><00:36:23.800><c> my</c><00:36:24.039><c> zip</c><00:36:24.199><c> code</c><00:36:24.340><c> as</c><00:36:24.820><c> an</c><00:36:25.000><c> example,</c><00:36:26.619><c> okay?</c>

00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.539
Aaron,<00:36:28.079><c> he</c><00:36:28.480><c> didn't</c><00:36:28.659><c> say</c><00:36:28.820><c> it,</c><00:36:28.960><c> but</c><00:36:29.119><c> he</c><00:36:29.320><c> said,</c><00:36:29.820><c> let's</c><00:36:30.119><c> assume,</c>

00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:33.420
that<00:36:31.019><c> my</c><00:36:31.179><c> zip</c><00:36:31.360><c> code</c><00:36:31.500><c> was</c><00:36:31.699><c> 46254.</c>

00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:36.500
What's<00:36:34.039><c> another</c><00:36:34.159><c> way</c><00:36:34.320><c> to</c><00:36:34.480><c> check</c><00:36:34.679><c> and</c><00:36:34.820><c> see</c><00:36:34.980><c> whether</c><00:36:35.159><c> that's</c><00:36:35.440><c> right</c><00:36:35.599><c> or</c><00:36:35.780><c> not?</c>

00:36:37.739 --> 00:36:41.260
Yeah,<00:36:39.380><c> you</c><00:36:39.480><c> know,</c><00:36:39.639><c> look</c><00:36:39.739><c> on</c><00:36:39.880><c> a</c><00:36:40.000><c> map,</c><00:36:40.199><c> figure</c><00:36:40.400><c> out</c><00:36:40.480><c> where</c><00:36:40.639><c> I</c><00:36:40.780><c> live,</c><00:36:40.960><c> check</c><00:36:41.159><c> it</c>

00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:45.719
So<00:36:42.280><c> if</c><00:36:42.400><c> you</c><00:36:42.579><c> can</c><00:36:42.840><c> check</c><00:36:43.079><c> it</c><00:36:43.519><c> after</c><00:36:43.820><c> the</c><00:36:44.139><c> fact,</c><00:36:45.320><c> you</c><00:36:45.420><c> can</c><00:36:45.599><c> know</c>

00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:46.599

00:36:47.099 --> 00:36:53.159
If<00:36:47.500><c> you</c><00:36:47.679><c> guys</c><00:36:47.940><c> thought</c><00:36:48.119><c> that</c><00:36:48.320><c> my</c><00:36:48.539><c> zip</c><00:36:48.719><c> code</c><00:36:49.000><c> was</c><00:36:49.800><c> 10348</c><00:36:52.559><c> or</c><00:36:52.760><c> something,</c>

00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:00.619
Well,<00:36:59.000><c> here's</c><00:36:59.239><c> the</c><00:36:59.420><c> amazing</c><00:36:59.719><c> thing.</c>

00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:02.739
One<00:37:00.880><c> thing</c><00:37:01.059><c> that</c><00:37:01.199><c> the</c><00:37:01.340><c> Bible</c><00:37:01.519><c> talks</c><00:37:01.860><c> about</c><00:37:02.079><c> a</c><00:37:02.179><c> lot</c><00:37:02.360><c> of</c><00:37:02.519><c> times</c>

00:37:02.739 --> 00:37:04.139

It's<00:37:25.739><c> a</c><00:37:25.940><c> commonwealth.</c>

Okay,<00:38:36.199><c> I'm</c><00:38:36.380><c> just</c><00:38:36.559><c> making</c><00:38:36.780><c> these</c><00:38:36.980><c> up</c><00:38:37.119><c> as</c><00:38:37.300><c> I</c><00:38:37.440><c> go,</c>

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:55.380
Well,<00:38:53.920><c> archaeologists</c><00:38:54.380><c> have</c><00:38:54.539><c> gone</c><00:38:54.739><c> back,</c><00:38:55.019><c> and</c><00:38:55.139><c> they've</c>

00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:12.380
The<00:39:09.019><c> point</c><00:39:09.199><c> is</c><00:39:09.699><c> that</c><00:39:10.000><c> we</c><00:39:10.179><c> have</c><00:39:10.360><c> other</c><00:39:10.599><c> ways,</c><00:39:11.059><c> archaeologically,</c>

00:41:00.579 --> 00:41:02.480
I<00:41:01.019><c> talked</c><00:41:01.460><c> about</c><00:41:01.579><c> this</c><00:41:01.739><c> a</c><00:41:01.820><c> little</c><00:41:01.960><c> bit</c><00:41:02.119><c> yesterday</c>

about<00:41:04.179><c> it.</c>

00:41:04.619 --> 00:41:07.900
But<00:41:04.739><c> the</c><00:41:04.860><c> point</c><00:41:05.099><c> is,</c><00:41:05.820><c> it</c><00:41:05.880><c> is</c><00:41:06.139><c> a</c><00:41:06.219><c> necessary</c><00:41:06.679><c> prerequisite.</c>

00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:13.960

that<00:41:17.579><c> people</c><00:41:17.840><c> don't</c><00:41:18.079><c> change</c><00:41:18.420><c> it.</c>

00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:23.539
That's<00:41:20.679><c> not</c><00:41:20.820><c> to</c><00:41:20.940><c> say</c><00:41:21.059><c> that</c><00:41:21.239><c> people</c><00:41:21.460><c> can't</c><00:41:22.619><c> try</c><00:41:22.840><c> to</c><00:41:23.039><c> change</c><00:41:23.239><c> it.</c>

Sometimes<00:41:24.119><c> a</c><00:41:24.340><c> scribe</c><00:41:24.599><c> will</c><00:41:24.800><c> add</c><00:41:25.019><c> something</c><00:41:25.300><c> in</c>
