00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:52.699
You<00:38:48.440><c> may,</c><00:38:49.300><c> as</c><00:38:49.780><c> I</c><00:38:50.019><c> might,</c><00:38:50.940><c> sit</c><00:38:51.139><c> back</c><00:38:51.480><c> and</c><00:38:51.739><c> smile</c><00:38:52.099><c> about</c><00:38:52.320><c> that</c>

00:38:54.940 --> 00:38:56.860
How<00:38:55.119><c> could</c><00:38:55.380><c> anybody</c><00:38:55.679><c> do</c><00:38:55.960><c> that?</c>

00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.860
Let's<00:38:57.639><c> look</c><00:38:57.780><c> at</c><00:38:57.880><c> Romans</c><00:38:58.119><c> chapter</c><00:38:58.500><c> 1.</c>

00:39:01.940 --> 00:39:03.239
How<00:39:02.199><c> could</c><00:39:02.400><c> anybody</c><00:39:02.699><c> do</c><00:39:02.940><c> that?</c>

00:39:03.300 --> 00:39:05.079
We<00:39:03.599><c> do</c><00:39:03.800><c> it.</c>

00:39:06.219 --> 00:39:07.619
We<00:39:06.559><c> do</c><00:39:06.760><c> it.</c>

00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.440
We<00:39:08.199><c> all</c><00:39:08.500><c> do</c><00:39:08.639><c> it,</c><00:39:08.980><c> myself</c><00:39:09.320><c> included.</c>

00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:14.360
It's<00:39:13.159><c> a</c><00:39:13.360><c> common</c><00:39:13.579><c> human</c><00:39:13.880><c> problem.</c>

00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:19.539
The<00:39:15.480><c> inconsistency</c><00:39:16.599><c> in</c><00:39:16.860><c> others</c><00:39:17.119><c> is</c><00:39:17.400><c> apparent,</c><00:39:17.860><c> but</c><00:39:18.059><c> not</c><00:39:18.260><c> in</c><00:39:18.440><c> ourselves.</c>

00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:25.239
Romans<00:39:20.380><c> chapter</c><00:39:20.820><c> 1</c><00:39:21.099><c> speaks</c><00:39:21.440><c> about</c><00:39:21.699><c> this</c><00:39:21.980><c> kind</c><00:39:22.320><c> of</c><00:39:23.639><c> vicarious</c><00:39:24.480><c> participation</c>

00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:31.280
Perhaps<00:39:29.119><c> we</c><00:39:29.260><c> need</c><00:39:29.420><c> to</c><00:39:29.559><c> come</c><00:39:29.679><c> to</c><00:39:29.840><c> grips</c><00:39:30.000><c> with</c><00:39:30.179><c> it.</c>

00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:35.380
Perhaps<00:39:32.360><c> we</c><00:39:32.679><c> say</c><00:39:32.920><c> that</c><00:39:33.239><c> pornography</c><00:39:34.039><c> is</c><00:39:34.380><c> wrong,</c>

00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:38.780
and<00:39:36.340><c> perhaps</c><00:39:36.619><c> we</c><00:39:36.760><c> would</c><00:39:36.960><c> admit</c><00:39:37.280><c> that</c><00:39:37.539><c> pornography</c><00:39:38.139><c> is</c><00:39:38.480><c> a</c><00:39:38.599><c> sin</c>

and<00:43:34.860><c> because</c><00:43:35.059><c> there's</c><00:43:35.260><c> a</c><00:43:35.460><c> distance</c><00:43:35.800><c> there,</c>

00:43:36.179 --> 00:43:38.539
and<00:43:36.480><c> we're</c><00:43:36.679><c> not</c><00:43:36.840><c> the</c><00:43:37.000><c> one</c><00:43:37.139><c> actually</c><00:43:37.500><c> behaving</c><00:43:37.940><c> like</c><00:43:38.300><c> that,</c>

00:43:38.539 --> 00:43:40.260
and<00:43:38.719><c> that's</c><00:43:38.960><c> not</c><00:43:39.119><c> a</c><00:43:39.260><c> picture</c><00:43:39.400><c> of</c><00:43:39.619><c> our</c><00:43:39.800><c> wife</c>

00:43:40.260 --> 00:43:43.260
or<00:43:40.900><c> of</c><00:43:41.139><c> ourselves</c><00:43:41.780><c> or</c><00:43:42.340><c> of</c><00:43:42.579><c> my</c><00:43:42.739><c> husband,</c>

00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:46.559
then<00:43:44.239><c> we</c><00:43:44.440><c> rationalize</c><00:43:45.039><c> that</c><00:43:45.139><c> it's</c><00:43:45.380><c> acceptable.</c>

00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:49.380
Now<00:43:48.300><c> that's</c><00:43:48.539><c> the</c><00:43:48.659><c> kind</c><00:43:48.860><c> of</c><00:43:49.079><c> searching</c>

00:43:49.380 --> 00:43:51.400
that<00:43:49.699><c> we</c><00:43:49.840><c> need</c><00:43:50.019><c> to</c><00:43:50.239><c> do</c><00:43:50.320><c> in</c><00:43:50.480><c> this</c><00:43:50.659><c> twentieth</c><00:43:51.000><c> century,</c>

00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:53.059
all<00:43:51.920><c> of</c><00:43:52.079><c> us.</c>

00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.300
The<00:43:53.300><c> one</c><00:43:53.460><c> standing</c><00:43:53.820><c> before</c><00:43:54.219><c> you</c><00:43:54.420><c> has</c><00:43:54.679><c> feet</c><00:43:54.840><c> of</c><00:43:55.059><c> clay</c>

00:43:55.300 --> 00:43:58.719
and<00:43:55.440><c> knows</c><00:43:55.699><c> matters</c><00:43:55.960><c> just</c><00:43:56.199><c> as</c><00:43:56.380><c> much</c><00:43:56.539><c> as</c><00:43:56.639><c> you</c><00:43:56.860><c> do.</c>

00:44:02.780 --> 00:44:05.900
Back<00:44:02.940><c> to</c><00:44:03.139><c> Psalm</c><00:44:03.300><c> 32</c><00:44:03.880><c> before</c><00:44:04.260><c> we</c><00:44:04.539><c> finish.</c>

00:44:11.699 --> 00:44:15.579
It's<00:44:12.400><c> rather</c><00:44:12.639><c> instructive.</c>

00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:18.619
Psalm<00:44:15.739><c> 32</c><00:44:16.539><c> is</c><00:44:16.960><c> not</c><00:44:17.159><c> the</c><00:44:17.320><c> only</c><00:44:17.559><c> place</c>

00:44:21.059 --> 00:44:23.820
where<00:44:21.760><c> there</c><00:44:21.920><c> are</c><00:44:22.099><c> three</c><00:44:22.360><c> words</c><00:44:22.639><c> for</c><00:44:22.920><c> sin.</c>

00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:26.880
Now<00:44:24.219><c> if</c><00:44:24.239><c> you've</c><00:44:24.360><c> never</c><00:44:24.619><c> done</c><00:44:24.780><c> this</c><00:44:25.099><c> exercise</c><00:44:25.699><c> before,</c>

00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.820
it<00:44:27.440><c> is</c><00:44:28.219><c> rather</c><00:44:28.659><c> helpful.</c>

00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:34.019
Psalm<00:44:31.800><c> 32</c><00:44:32.340><c> has</c><00:44:32.679><c> three</c><00:44:33.039><c> words</c><00:44:33.460><c> for</c><00:44:33.739><c> sin.</c>

00:44:34.019 --> 00:44:35.880
You've<00:44:34.420><c> perhaps</c><00:44:34.800><c> noticed</c><00:44:35.239><c> them.</c>

00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:40.880
They're<00:44:37.480><c> also</c><00:44:37.780><c> contained</c><00:44:38.500><c> in</c><00:44:38.920><c> Isaiah</c><00:44:39.400><c> 53.</c>

00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:43.000
I<00:44:41.659><c> suggest</c><00:44:42.039><c> some</c><00:44:42.340><c> time</c><00:44:42.519><c> at</c><00:44:42.659><c> your</c><00:44:42.820><c> leisure</c>

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:44.980
you<00:44:43.139><c> go</c><00:44:43.340><c> to</c><00:44:43.519><c> Isaiah</c><00:44:43.880><c> 53</c><00:44:44.400><c> also</c>

00:44:44.980 --> 00:44:47.840
and<00:44:45.340><c> look</c><00:44:45.599><c> at</c><00:44:45.719><c> how</c><00:44:46.539><c> that</c><00:44:46.920><c> chapter</c><00:44:47.260><c> contains</c>

00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:49.940
the<00:44:48.099><c> same</c><00:44:48.400><c> three</c><00:44:48.800><c> words.</c>

00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:52.019
For<00:44:50.159><c> David</c><00:44:50.440><c> has</c><00:44:50.760><c> said,</c>

00:44:52.780 --> 00:44:55.539
Blessed<00:44:52.980><c> is</c><00:44:53.219><c> the</c><00:44:53.440><c> man,</c><00:44:53.679><c> verse</c><00:44:54.019><c> 2</c><00:44:54.380><c> of</c><00:44:54.559><c> Psalm</c><00:44:54.820><c> 32,</c>

00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:59.280
whom<00:44:55.980><c> the</c><00:44:56.239><c> Lord</c><00:44:57.280><c> imputeth</c><00:44:57.940><c> not</c><00:44:58.500><c> iniquity.</c>

00:44:59.619 --> 00:45:01.820
That's<00:45:00.159><c> one</c><00:45:00.320><c> of</c><00:45:00.420><c> those</c><00:45:00.659><c> words,</c><00:45:01.119><c> iniquity.</c>

00:45:02.179 --> 00:45:03.559
But<00:45:02.360><c> in</c><00:45:02.539><c> verse</c><00:45:02.780><c> 1</c><00:45:02.980><c> he</c><00:45:03.219><c> said,</c>

00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:07.679
Blessed<00:45:04.079><c> is</c><00:45:04.280><c> he</c><00:45:04.519><c> whose</c><00:45:05.079><c> transgression</c><00:45:06.300><c> is</c><00:45:07.179><c> forgiven,</c>

00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:09.360
a<00:45:08.079><c> second</c><00:45:08.400><c> word,</c>

00:45:09.900 --> 00:45:13.239
whose<00:45:10.219><c> sin,</c><00:45:10.860><c> a</c><00:45:11.260><c> third</c><00:45:11.500><c> word,</c><00:45:12.280><c> is</c><00:45:12.659><c> covered.</c>

00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:15.659
Between<00:45:14.039><c> verses</c><00:45:14.400><c> 1</c><00:45:14.679><c> and</c><00:45:14.840><c> 2,</c><00:45:15.159><c> therefore,</c>

00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:17.239
we<00:45:16.000><c> have</c><00:45:16.159><c> three</c><00:45:16.420><c> words</c><00:45:16.719><c> for</c><00:45:16.980><c> sin.</c>

00:45:17.500 --> 00:45:19.440
Let's<00:45:17.679><c> look</c><00:45:17.940><c> at</c><00:45:18.079><c> them.</c>

00:45:21.579 --> 00:45:24.039
A<00:45:22.179><c> root</c><00:45:22.480><c> word</c><00:45:22.780><c> which</c><00:45:23.000><c> means</c><00:45:23.280><c> to</c><00:45:23.519><c> revolt</c>

00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:25.780
or<00:45:24.340><c> to</c><00:45:24.559><c> break</c><00:45:24.739><c> away.</c>

00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:28.940
We've<00:45:27.139><c> given</c><00:45:27.280><c> you</c><00:45:27.599><c> two</c><00:45:28.000><c> passages</c><00:45:28.559><c> there.</c>

00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:31.159
They<00:45:29.099><c> were</c><00:45:29.420><c> selected</c><00:45:29.880><c> from</c><00:45:30.159><c> Englishmen's</c><00:45:30.860><c> list,</c>

00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:34.440
which<00:45:31.760><c> are</c><00:45:32.079><c> particularly</c><00:45:32.920><c> illustrative.</c>

00:45:34.699 --> 00:45:37.420
So<00:45:34.980><c> we</c><00:45:35.059><c> didn't</c><00:45:35.219><c> just</c><00:45:35.460><c> randomly</c><00:45:36.159><c> choose</c><00:45:36.800><c> verses</c>

00:45:37.420 --> 00:45:40.159
that<00:45:38.159><c> show</c><00:45:38.320><c> the</c><00:45:38.619><c> sense</c><00:45:38.880><c> of</c><00:45:39.239><c> revolt.</c>

00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:42.920
We<00:45:40.559><c> tried</c><00:45:40.719><c> to</c><00:45:40.940><c> choose</c><00:45:41.159><c> two</c><00:45:41.400><c> that</c><00:45:41.579><c> would</c><00:45:41.800><c> be</c><00:45:41.960><c> very</c><00:45:42.380><c> illustrative</c>

00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:44.900
of<00:45:43.119><c> the</c><00:45:43.300><c> root</c><00:45:43.440><c> meaning</c><00:45:43.659><c> of</c><00:45:43.860><c> the</c><00:45:44.019><c> word.</c>

00:45:44.940 --> 00:45:47.719
Job<00:45:45.079><c> 34</c><00:45:45.900><c> in</c><00:45:46.199><c> verse</c><00:45:46.460><c> 37.</c>

00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:49.440
And<00:45:48.000><c> first</c><00:45:48.179><c> to</c><00:45:48.400><c> Kings</c><00:45:48.579><c> 12,</c>

00:45:51.619 --> 00:45:55.860
it<00:45:51.699><c> renders</c><00:45:52.059><c> it</c><00:45:52.500><c> to</c><00:45:53.400><c> fall</c><00:45:53.760><c> away</c><00:45:54.280><c> or</c><00:45:54.659><c> fell</c><00:45:54.920><c> away.</c>

00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:00.579
Transgression.

00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:03.619
The<00:46:01.679><c> second</c><00:46:01.900><c> word,</c><00:46:02.760><c> sin.</c>

00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:06.579

00:46:09.300 --> 00:46:12.460
And<00:46:09.619><c> it</c><00:46:09.699><c> can</c><00:46:09.920><c> be</c><00:46:10.179><c> missing</c><00:46:10.539><c> in</c><00:46:10.760><c> a</c><00:46:10.920><c> number</c><00:46:11.179><c> of</c><00:46:11.440><c> ways.</c>

00:46:12.739 --> 00:46:15.260
Missing<00:46:13.159><c> the</c><00:46:13.400><c> mark</c><00:46:13.679><c> is</c><00:46:13.920><c> the</c><00:46:14.059><c> most</c><00:46:14.340><c> obvious.</c>

00:46:15.460 --> 00:46:18.440
Missing<00:46:15.880><c> an</c><00:46:16.079><c> objective,</c><00:46:16.800><c> missing</c><00:46:17.179><c> a</c><00:46:17.579><c> target.</c>

00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:30.559

00:55:47.539 --> 00:55:49.760
that<00:55:48.079><c> the</c><00:55:48.340><c> psalmist</c><00:55:48.619><c> highlights.</c>

00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:52.340
This<00:55:50.440><c> is</c><00:55:50.699><c> not</c><00:55:50.860><c> a</c><00:55:51.119><c> strict</c><00:55:51.320><c> order</c>

that<00:55:52.599><c> everyone</c><00:55:53.099><c> will</c><00:55:53.400><c> experience</c>

00:55:54.159 --> 00:55:56.820
as<00:55:54.719><c> though</c><00:55:54.980><c> first</c><00:55:55.360><c> this</c><00:55:55.659><c> step</c><00:55:55.840><c> and</c><00:55:56.039><c> then</c><00:55:56.159><c> that</c><00:55:56.480><c> step,</c>

00:55:57.079 --> 00:56:00.300
they<00:55:57.280><c> could</c><00:55:57.480><c> be</c><00:55:57.800><c> out</c><00:55:58.000><c> of</c><00:55:58.179><c> order</c><00:55:58.460><c> in</c><00:55:58.699><c> your</c><00:55:58.860><c> own</c><00:55:59.099><c> experience.</c>

00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:02.300
But<00:56:00.760><c> there</c><00:56:00.900><c> is</c><00:56:01.099><c> a</c><00:56:01.260><c> general</c><00:56:01.900><c> flow</c>

The<00:56:04.980><c> points</c><00:56:05.500><c> are</c><00:56:05.820><c> more</c><00:56:06.059><c> important</c><00:56:06.639><c> perhaps</c>

00:56:07.179 --> 00:56:08.500
than<00:56:07.519><c> strict</c><00:56:07.780><c> order.</c>

00:56:08.539 --> 00:56:12.099

00:56:14.420 --> 00:56:19.099
is<00:56:15.179><c> conviction</c><00:56:16.219><c> of</c><00:56:18.139><c> sin.</c>

00:56:19.260 --> 00:56:21.880
David<00:56:19.699><c> needed</c><00:56:20.199><c> to</c><00:56:20.420><c> be</c><00:56:20.639><c> convicted</c><00:56:21.159><c> of</c><00:56:21.599><c> sin,</c>

00:56:22.139 --> 00:56:25.340
so<00:56:22.380><c> God</c><00:56:22.820><c> sent</c><00:56:23.320><c> finally</c><00:56:23.980><c> Nathan</c><00:56:24.579><c> the</c><00:56:24.900><c> prophet</c>

00:56:25.340 --> 00:56:27.119
and<00:56:25.960><c> told</c><00:56:26.260><c> him</c><00:56:26.440><c> a</c><00:56:26.679><c> parable,</c>

00:56:27.320 --> 00:56:28.179
and<00:56:27.599><c> David</c><00:56:27.940><c> said,</c>

00:56:28.380 --> 00:56:29.199
That's<00:56:28.559><c> disgusting.</c>

00:56:29.380 --> 00:56:30.860
I<00:56:29.559><c> know</c><00:56:29.679><c> what</c><00:56:29.820><c> I'd</c><00:56:30.059><c> do</c><00:56:30.119><c> with</c><00:56:30.360><c> that</c><00:56:30.579><c> man.</c>

00:56:31.300 --> 00:56:32.500
And<00:56:31.519><c> Nathan</c><00:56:31.719><c> turned</c><00:56:32.000><c> around,</c>

00:56:32.500 --> 00:56:35.000

Yes,<00:56:36.400><c> and</c><00:56:36.500><c> David,</c>
