Whatever.

00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:15.400
There<00:22:14.619><c> it</c><00:22:14.819><c> is.</c>

00:22:15.779 --> 00:22:20.160
See<00:22:15.880><c> to</c><00:22:16.019><c> the</c><00:22:16.140><c> woman,</c><00:22:18.140><c> which</c><00:22:18.279><c> often</c><00:22:18.680><c> when</c><00:22:18.880><c> we</c><00:22:19.059><c> hear</c><00:22:19.160><c> that</c><00:22:19.440><c> expression,</c>

Christadelphian<00:22:21.140><c> minds</c><00:22:21.519><c> instinctively</c><00:22:22.640><c> think</c><00:22:22.940><c> about</c><00:22:23.180><c> our</c>

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:29.519
That's<00:22:28.279><c> not</c><00:22:28.599><c> wrong.</c>

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:32.400
But<00:22:30.220><c> that's</c><00:22:30.420><c> not</c><00:22:30.660><c> what</c><00:22:30.779><c> it's</c><00:22:31.160><c> saying</c><00:22:31.259><c> primarily,</c><00:22:32.259><c> brethren</c>

and<00:22:32.700><c> sisters.</c>

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:36.279
It's<00:22:34.059><c> not</c><00:22:34.299><c> teaching</c><00:22:34.619><c> us</c><00:22:34.920><c> that</c><00:22:35.180><c> primarily.</c>

00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:42.700

00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:47.599
That's<00:22:46.680><c> easy.</c>

00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:50.819
Because<00:22:48.160><c> if</c><00:22:48.339><c> it's</c><00:22:48.500><c> not</c><00:22:48.819><c> saying</c><00:22:49.079><c> that,</c><00:22:49.740><c> if</c><00:22:49.980><c> the</c><00:22:50.339><c> seed</c><00:22:50.519><c> of</c><00:22:50.680><c> the</c>

00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:00.920
Didn't.
