00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.960
It<00:00:57.340><c> certainly</c><00:00:57.700><c> is</c><00:00:57.899><c> a</c><00:00:57.979><c> wonderful</c><00:00:58.340><c> blessing</c><00:00:58.679><c> that</c><00:00:58.859><c> we</c><00:00:59.060><c> have</c><00:00:59.479><c> in</c>

00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.900
why<00:01:09.540><c> this</c><00:01:10.000><c> topic?</c>

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:14.760
The<00:01:12.120><c> subject</c><00:01:12.439><c> that's</c><00:01:13.340><c> become</c><00:01:13.560><c> rather</c><00:01:13.980><c> topical</c><00:01:14.359><c> in</c><00:01:14.540><c> recent</c>

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:15.480
years,<00:01:15.219><c> hasn't</c><00:01:15.359><c> it?</c>

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.260
There's<00:01:15.879><c> sometimes</c><00:01:16.280><c> even</c><00:01:16.659><c> debate</c><00:01:17.060><c> actually,</c><00:01:18.340><c> as</c><00:01:18.760><c> people</c><00:01:19.019><c> are</c>

00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:21.819
trying<00:01:19.379><c> to</c><00:01:19.719><c> change</c><00:01:20.079><c> our</c><00:01:20.459><c> perspective</c><00:01:20.980><c> on</c><00:01:21.260><c> the</c><00:01:21.459><c> roles,</c>

00:01:21.819 --> 00:01:26.079
the<00:01:22.120><c> scriptural</c><00:01:22.519><c> roles</c><00:01:22.920><c> of</c><00:01:23.459><c> men</c><00:01:23.760><c> and</c><00:01:24.060><c> women</c><00:01:24.439><c> in</c><00:01:24.859><c> both</c><00:01:25.079><c> ecclesial</c><00:01:25.620><c> and</c>

00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.079
And<00:01:28.120><c> the</c><00:01:28.219><c> questions</c><00:01:28.579><c> that</c><00:01:28.840><c> start</c><00:01:28.959><c> to</c><00:01:29.140><c> get</c><00:01:29.299><c> raised,</c><00:01:29.620><c> are</c><00:01:29.840><c> the</c>

00:01:33.939 --> 00:01:38.180
Are<00:01:34.140><c> they</c><00:01:34.439><c> appropriate</c><00:01:35.219><c> today</c><00:01:35.780><c> in</c><00:01:36.540><c> the</c><00:01:36.739><c> society</c><00:01:37.219><c> in</c><00:01:37.579><c> which</c><00:01:37.760><c> we</c><00:01:37.959><c> live?</c>

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.760
And<00:01:39.079><c> this</c><00:01:39.260><c> is</c><00:01:39.480><c> something</c><00:01:39.659><c> which</c><00:01:39.840><c> we</c><00:01:40.019><c> can</c><00:01:40.219><c> expect</c><00:01:40.599><c> to</c><00:01:40.840><c> see</c><00:01:41.040><c> challenged</c><00:01:41.480><c> by</c>

00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:54.060
Often<00:01:52.219><c> you</c><00:01:52.340><c> find</c><00:01:52.599><c> that</c><00:01:52.819><c> the</c><00:01:53.019><c> arguments</c><00:01:53.379><c> which</c><00:01:53.680><c> are</c><00:01:53.859><c> trotted</c>

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.519

00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.620
Now<00:12:57.700><c> these</c><00:12:57.919><c> allusions</c><00:12:58.480><c> to</c><00:12:58.740><c> the</c><00:12:58.919><c> priesthood</c><00:12:59.340><c> order</c><00:12:59.639><c> in</c><00:12:59.940><c> the</c><00:13:00.159><c> Garden</c>

00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:04.779

00:13:04.779 --> 00:13:09.830
is<00:13:05.159><c> that</c><00:13:05.500><c> possibly</c><00:13:06.779><c> Melchizedek,</c><00:13:08.279><c> when</c><00:13:08.460><c> we</c><00:13:08.600><c> look</c><00:13:08.779><c> at</c><00:13:08.940><c> the</c><00:13:09.120><c> role</c><00:13:09.320><c> of</c><00:13:09.500><c> Melchizedek</c>

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:19.960
If<00:13:16.399><c> we</c><00:13:16.600><c> think</c><00:13:16.759><c> of</c><00:13:16.940><c> Melchizedek</c><00:13:17.659><c> with</c><00:13:17.860><c> this</c><00:13:18.179><c> background</c><00:13:18.720><c> and</c><00:13:19.259><c> context</c>

00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.759
then<00:13:20.620><c> we</c><00:13:20.799><c> will</c><00:13:21.039><c> see</c><00:13:21.259><c> that</c><00:13:21.480><c> Melchizedek</c><00:13:22.279><c> actually</c><00:13:22.779><c> comes</c><00:13:23.259><c> at</c><00:13:23.559><c> a</c>

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.679
most<00:13:24.100><c> crucial</c><00:13:24.940><c> time.</c>

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:30.159
No<00:13:26.600><c> longer</c><00:13:27.139><c> will</c><00:13:27.399><c> we</c><00:13:27.559><c> be</c><00:13:27.879><c> wondering</c><00:13:28.240><c> why</c><00:13:28.799><c> Melchizedek</c>

00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:31.779
comes<00:13:30.740><c> in</c><00:13:30.980><c> the</c><00:13:31.039><c> way</c><00:13:31.220><c> that</c><00:13:31.379><c> he</c><00:13:31.460><c> does</c>

00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:35.460
and<00:13:32.159><c> speaks</c><00:13:32.600><c> to</c><00:13:32.980><c> Abraham</c><00:13:33.360><c> in</c><00:13:33.639><c> the</c><00:13:33.799><c> way</c><00:13:34.080><c> that</c><00:13:34.279><c> he</c><00:13:34.360><c> does.</c>

00:13:35.779 --> 00:13:38.820
Suddenly<00:13:36.480><c> from</c><00:13:37.279><c> the</c><00:13:37.539><c> context</c><00:13:38.059><c> of</c><00:13:38.500><c> Eden</c>

00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:44.480
everything<00:13:42.500><c> makes</c><00:13:43.159><c> sense.</c>

00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.080
We<00:13:45.220><c> will</c><00:13:45.500><c> see</c><00:13:45.720><c> that</c><00:13:45.940><c> Melchizedek</c><00:13:46.940><c> is</c><00:13:47.379><c> the</c><00:13:47.600><c> answer</c><00:13:48.320><c> to</c><00:13:48.980><c> the</c><00:13:49.340><c> challenge</c>

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.200
that<00:13:50.740><c> God</c><00:13:51.460><c> had</c><00:13:51.940><c> set</c><00:13:52.139><c> man</c><00:13:52.740><c> in</c><00:13:53.440><c> Eden.</c>

00:13:54.580 --> 00:13:58.000
Now<00:13:55.139><c> as</c><00:13:55.340><c> you</c><00:13:55.440><c> might</c><00:13:55.639><c> expect</c><00:13:56.179><c> with</c><00:13:56.440><c> such</c><00:13:56.840><c> a</c><00:13:57.240><c> roaming</c><00:13:57.580><c> theme</c>

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.200
we're<00:13:58.220><c> going</c><00:13:58.320><c> to</c><00:13:58.539><c> begin</c><00:13:58.759><c> in</c><00:13:59.039><c> Genesis,</c><00:13:59.519><c> we're</c><00:13:59.559><c> going</c><00:13:59.700><c> to</c><00:13:59.940><c> run</c>

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:04.360
we're<00:14:01.700><c> going</c><00:14:01.820><c> to</c><00:14:01.980><c> consider</c><00:14:02.320><c> the</c><00:14:02.740><c> work</c><00:14:03.139><c> of</c><00:14:03.320><c> the</c><00:14:03.399><c> Lord</c><00:14:03.600><c> Jesus</c><00:14:03.919><c> Christ</c><00:14:04.200><c> in</c>

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:11.840
And<00:14:09.039><c> we're</c><00:14:09.220><c> going</c><00:14:09.360><c> to</c><00:14:09.659><c> see</c><00:14:09.879><c> as</c><00:14:10.179><c> we</c><00:14:10.399><c> go</c><00:14:10.679><c> through</c><00:14:11.279><c> Scripture</c>

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.279
a<00:14:12.279><c> repeated</c><00:14:13.139><c> theme.</c>

00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:18.840
The<00:14:14.799><c> desire</c><00:14:15.320><c> for</c><00:14:15.679><c> man</c><00:14:16.080><c> and</c><00:14:16.399><c> woman</c><00:14:16.740><c> to</c><00:14:17.000><c> return</c><00:14:17.360><c> back</c><00:14:17.919><c> to</c><00:14:18.179><c> the</c><00:14:18.379><c> Garden</c>

00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.879
But<00:14:25.320><c> as</c><00:14:25.480><c> we</c><00:14:25.700><c> see</c><00:14:25.940><c> this</c><00:14:26.220><c> pattern,</c><00:14:26.580><c> this</c><00:14:26.820><c> repeated</c><00:14:27.320><c> pattern</c>

00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.440
And<00:14:48.519><c> without</c><00:14:48.919><c> Jesus</c><00:14:49.399><c> the</c><00:14:49.659><c> challenge</c><00:14:50.159><c> posed</c><00:14:50.500><c> in</c><00:14:50.940><c> Eden</c>

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:55.059

00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:01.019
It<00:14:55.519><c> took</c><00:14:55.799><c> something</c><00:14:56.259><c> of</c><00:14:56.600><c> divine</c><00:14:57.179><c> quality</c><00:14:58.019><c> to</c><00:14:58.799><c> unlock</c><00:14:59.379><c> the</c><00:15:00.080><c> Garden.</c>

00:15:02.299 --> 00:15:05.759
So<00:15:02.440><c> as</c><00:15:02.639><c> we</c><00:15:02.840><c> consider</c><00:15:03.220><c> this</c><00:15:03.580><c> theme</c><00:15:03.919><c> and</c><00:15:04.399><c> we</c><00:15:04.740><c> trace</c><00:15:05.000><c> it</c><00:15:05.379><c> through</c>

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.539
the<00:18:37.400><c> most</c><00:18:37.720><c> important</c><00:18:38.119><c> person</c><00:18:38.559><c> to</c><00:18:39.240><c> look</c><00:18:39.460><c> after</c><00:18:39.779><c> the</c><00:18:40.019><c> children</c>

00:18:40.539 --> 00:18:42.460
as<00:18:41.079><c> they</c><00:18:41.319><c> are.</c>

00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:46.119
You<00:18:43.140><c> may</c><00:18:43.420><c> know</c><00:18:43.940><c> that</c><00:18:44.079><c> in</c><00:18:44.240><c> California</c><00:18:44.779><c> with</c><00:18:45.019><c> his</c><00:18:45.180><c> family</c><00:18:45.640><c> he</c><00:18:46.119><c> is</c>

00:18:50.099 --> 00:18:52.779
So<00:18:50.099><c> that's</c><00:18:51.799><c> a</c><00:18:51.920><c> problem.</c>

00:18:56.059 --> 00:19:00.819
As<00:18:56.619><c> an</c><00:18:56.819><c> introduction</c><00:18:57.460><c> to</c><00:18:58.440><c> my</c><00:18:58.819><c> talks</c><00:18:59.160><c> on</c><00:18:59.500><c> Habakkuk,</c>

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:05.480
by<00:19:02.140><c> the</c><00:19:02.279><c> way</c><00:19:02.619><c> since</c><00:19:03.160><c> I</c><00:19:03.359><c> was</c><00:19:03.519><c> last</c><00:19:03.779><c> here</c><00:19:03.920><c> we've</c><00:19:04.180><c> moved</c><00:19:04.380><c> from</c><00:19:04.779><c> Cardiff</c><00:19:05.240><c> to</c>

00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.220
mumble<00:19:05.900><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.759
I<00:19:09.000><c> can't</c><00:19:09.440><c> hear</c><00:19:09.559><c> any</c><00:19:09.740><c> laughter</c><00:19:10.079><c> so</c><00:19:10.319><c> you're</c><00:19:10.519><c> not</c><00:19:10.720><c> Americans.</c>

00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.779
For<00:19:13.000><c> some</c><00:19:13.279><c> reason</c><00:19:13.559><c> the</c><00:19:13.819><c> Americans</c><00:19:14.160><c> think</c><00:19:14.400><c> it's</c><00:19:14.700><c> very</c><00:19:14.960><c> funny.</c>

00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:19.160
So<00:19:17.079><c> I</c><00:19:17.180><c> have</c><00:19:17.339><c> to</c><00:19:17.480><c> make</c><00:19:17.599><c> a</c><00:19:17.700><c> little</c><00:19:17.880><c> joke.</c><00:19:18.359><c> I</c><00:19:18.559><c> hope</c><00:19:18.759><c> I</c><00:19:18.980><c> don't</c>

00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:20.640
mumble<00:19:19.640><c> tonight.</c>

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:27.640
We're<00:19:24.220><c> stuck</c><00:19:24.319><c> on</c><00:19:24.539><c> the</c><00:19:24.700><c> IT</c><00:19:25.039><c> so</c><00:19:25.519><c> I'll</c><00:19:26.539><c> do</c><00:19:26.740><c> it.</c>

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:30.779
Well<00:19:29.660><c> let's</c><00:19:30.140><c> just</c><00:19:30.339><c> stand</c><00:19:30.559><c> back.</c>

00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:32.720
The<00:19:31.299><c> slides</c><00:19:31.500><c> I</c><00:19:31.599><c> was</c><00:19:31.640><c> going</c><00:19:31.819><c> to</c><00:19:31.960><c> show</c><00:19:32.099><c> is</c><00:19:32.160><c> something</c><00:19:32.420><c> that</c><00:19:32.579><c> you</c>

00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.079
probably<00:19:32.960><c> know</c><00:19:33.160><c> anyway.</c>

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:36.880
There<00:19:34.880><c> is</c><00:19:35.420><c> something</c><00:19:35.740><c> called</c><00:19:36.019><c> the</c><00:19:36.200><c> zeitgeist.</c>

00:19:36.900 --> 00:19:39.900
You've<00:19:37.160><c> heard</c><00:19:37.279><c> of</c><00:19:37.420><c> that</c><00:19:37.640><c> word,</c><00:19:38.019><c> the</c><00:19:38.240><c> spirit</c><00:19:38.500><c> of</c><00:19:38.740><c> the</c><00:19:38.920><c> age.</c>

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:45.339
The<00:19:40.619><c> spirit</c><00:19:41.200><c> that</c><00:19:42.299><c> we</c><00:19:42.920><c> are</c><00:19:43.180><c> battling</c><00:19:43.599><c> with</c><00:19:43.900><c> even</c><00:19:44.099><c> when</c><00:19:44.259><c> we</c><00:19:44.339><c> don't</c><00:19:44.579><c> realize</c><00:19:45.059><c> it.</c>

00:19:45.339 --> 00:19:52.299
The<00:19:45.779><c> forces</c><00:19:46.519><c> of</c><00:19:47.420><c> thought</c><00:19:47.920><c> in</c><00:19:48.460><c> society</c><00:19:49.140><c> which</c><00:19:49.640><c> shape</c><00:19:50.319><c> our</c><00:19:51.019><c> imaginations</c><00:19:51.859><c> and</c>

00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:53.480
our<00:19:52.579><c> thinking.</c>

00:19:53.539 --> 00:19:57.200
And<00:19:53.740><c> there</c><00:19:53.859><c> are</c><00:19:53.980><c> two</c><00:19:54.220><c> major</c><00:19:54.500><c> forces</c><00:19:55.059><c> that</c><00:19:55.460><c> are</c><00:19:55.720><c> operating</c><00:19:56.319><c> in</c>

00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.880
the<00:19:57.380><c> world</c><00:19:57.539><c> today.</c>

00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:59.720
Look<00:19:58.099><c> at</c><00:19:58.279><c> that,</c><00:19:58.599><c> fantastic.</c>

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:05.460
And<00:20:01.279><c> they</c><00:20:01.680><c> are,</c><00:20:03.779><c> this</c><00:20:04.000><c> is</c><00:20:04.180><c> one</c><00:20:04.339><c> of</c><00:20:04.480><c> them.</c>

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.799
This<00:20:08.200><c> is</c><00:20:08.380><c> what</c><00:20:08.500><c> we</c><00:20:08.660><c> mean</c><00:20:08.779><c> by</c><00:20:09.140><c> zeitgeist,</c><00:20:09.640><c> the</c><00:20:09.819><c> spirit</c><00:20:10.000><c> of</c><00:20:10.220><c> the</c><00:20:10.380><c> age.</c>

00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:15.299
The<00:20:11.779><c> intellectual</c><00:20:12.400><c> fashion</c><00:20:12.880><c> of</c><00:20:13.140><c> dominant</c><00:20:13.619><c> school</c><00:20:14.059><c> of</c><00:20:14.420><c> thought.</c>

00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.400
I've<00:20:15.880><c> drawn</c><00:20:16.000><c> your</c><00:20:16.220><c> attention</c><00:20:16.619><c> to</c><00:20:16.740><c> this</c><00:20:16.819><c> because</c><00:20:17.079><c> it</c><00:20:17.420><c> does</c><00:20:17.720><c> have</c><00:20:17.920><c> something</c><00:20:18.220><c> to</c>

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.140
do<00:20:18.539><c> with</c><00:20:18.740><c> Habakkuk</c><00:20:19.119><c> honestly.</c>

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:24.720
First<00:20:22.220><c> of</c><00:20:22.500><c> all</c><00:20:22.859><c> there</c><00:20:23.160><c> is</c><00:20:23.480><c> humanism.</c>

00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:27.240
Humanism<00:20:25.420><c> has</c><00:20:25.579><c> been</c><00:20:25.740><c> around</c><00:20:26.079><c> for</c><00:20:26.420><c> an</c><00:20:26.420><c> awful</c><00:20:26.599><c> long</c><00:20:26.920><c> time.</c>

00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:33.380
But<00:20:27.480><c> there</c><00:20:27.640><c> is</c><00:20:27.839><c> a</c><00:20:27.960><c> resurgence</c><00:20:28.759><c> of</c><00:20:29.119><c> humanism</c><00:20:29.579><c> as</c><00:20:29.819><c> quite</c><00:20:30.039><c> a</c><00:20:30.440><c> deliberate</c><00:20:31.359><c> attempt</c><00:20:32.759><c> by</c>

00:20:33.380 --> 00:20:35.819
the<00:20:34.279><c> powers</c><00:20:34.640><c> that</c><00:20:35.059><c> be</c><00:20:35.160><c> in</c><00:20:35.339><c> the</c><00:20:35.579><c> world</c>

00:20:35.819 --> 00:20:40.779
that<00:20:36.160><c> shape</c><00:20:36.359><c> education</c><00:20:37.299><c> and</c><00:20:38.059><c> science</c><00:20:38.559><c> and</c><00:20:38.880><c> culture</c><00:20:39.480><c> to</c><00:20:40.299><c> drive</c>

00:20:40.779 --> 00:20:42.779
forward<00:20:41.240><c> a</c><00:20:41.539><c> new</c><00:20:41.859><c> humanism</c>

00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:47.680
as<00:20:43.880><c> a</c><00:20:44.019><c> way</c><00:20:44.220><c> of</c><00:20:44.440><c> uniting</c><00:20:44.859><c> nations</c><00:20:45.500><c> and</c><00:20:46.440><c> instructing</c><00:20:47.160><c> children</c>

00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.359
in<00:20:48.579><c> the</c><00:20:48.960><c> spirit</c><00:20:49.519><c> of</c><00:20:50.119><c> the</c><00:20:50.319><c> age.</c>

00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.640
Alongside<00:20:54.140><c> that</c><00:20:54.480><c> is</c><00:20:54.880><c> what's</c><00:20:55.220><c> called</c><00:20:55.579><c> postmodernism.</c>

00:20:56.779 --> 00:20:59.220
Again<00:20:57.039><c> I'm</c><00:20:57.259><c> sure</c><00:20:57.480><c> most</c><00:20:57.740><c> of</c><00:20:57.920><c> you</c><00:20:58.420><c> have</c><00:20:58.579><c> come</c><00:20:58.799><c> across</c><00:20:59.079><c> this.</c>

00:20:59.220 --> 00:21:04.099
So<00:20:59.380><c> this</c><00:20:59.500><c> is</c><00:20:59.720><c> the</c><00:20:59.900><c> BBC</c><00:21:00.339><c> website,</c><00:21:01.059><c> the</c><00:21:01.299><c> infallible</c><00:21:02.119><c> BBC</c><00:21:02.640><c> website</c><00:21:03.140><c> to</c><00:21:03.519><c> tell</c><00:21:03.819><c> us</c>

00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:06.640
what<00:21:04.680><c> postmodernism</c><00:21:06.299><c> is.</c>

00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:14.460
And<00:21:07.279><c> essentially</c><00:21:07.720><c> it's</c><00:21:09.460><c> that</c><00:21:10.339><c> thinking</c><00:21:11.319><c> which</c><00:21:12.019><c> says</c><00:21:12.299><c> that</c><00:21:12.680><c> everything</c><00:21:13.059><c> is</c><00:21:13.440><c> relative.</c>

00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:19.259
There's<00:21:15.039><c> no</c><00:21:15.279><c> such</c><00:21:15.700><c> thing</c><00:21:16.099><c> as</c><00:21:16.680><c> right</c><00:21:17.000><c> or</c><00:21:17.339><c> wrong,</c><00:21:18.579><c> absolutely.</c>

00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:24.119
It<00:21:20.099><c> depends</c><00:21:20.599><c> on</c><00:21:21.059><c> circumstances,</c><00:21:21.839><c> it</c><00:21:22.119><c> depends</c><00:21:22.559><c> on</c><00:21:22.900><c> situations.</c>

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:28.579
In<00:21:25.319><c> fact</c><00:21:25.579><c> the</c><00:21:25.700><c> only</c><00:21:26.140><c> crime</c><00:21:26.740><c> is</c><00:21:27.039><c> to</c><00:21:27.180><c> be</c><00:21:27.339><c> dogmatic.</c>

00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.460
The<00:21:29.799><c> only</c><00:21:30.200><c> sin</c><00:21:30.740><c> is</c><00:21:31.240><c> to</c><00:21:31.359><c> be</c><00:21:31.599><c> certain.</c>

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:41.200
It<00:21:33.539><c> lords</c><00:21:34.559><c> uncertainty</c><00:21:35.559><c> and</c><00:21:37.059><c> in</c><00:21:39.779><c> a</c><00:21:40.019><c> postmodern</c><00:21:40.700><c> world</c><00:21:41.019><c> there</c>

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.099
are<00:21:41.400><c> no</c><00:21:41.660><c> universal</c><00:21:42.500><c> religious</c><00:21:43.119><c> or</c><00:21:43.380><c> ethical</c><00:21:43.779><c> laws.</c>

00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.339
Everything<00:21:44.819><c> is</c><00:21:45.299><c> shaped</c><00:21:45.740><c> by</c><00:21:46.099><c> the</c><00:21:46.319><c> cultural</c><00:21:46.759><c> context.</c>

00:21:47.339 --> 00:21:50.599
And<00:21:47.740><c> the</c><00:21:47.960><c> cultural</c><00:21:48.339><c> context</c><00:21:48.859><c> is</c><00:21:49.220><c> humanism.</c>

00:21:50.819 --> 00:21:54.700
Atheistic,<00:21:52.200><c> scientific,</c><00:21:53.319><c> materialism.</c>

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:59.680
The<00:21:55.700><c> consequence</c><00:21:56.339><c> for</c><00:21:56.819><c> us</c><00:21:57.299><c> is</c><00:21:57.740><c> that</c><00:21:58.259><c> thoughts</c><00:21:58.759><c> generate</c><00:21:59.480><c> in</c>

00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:02.569
our<00:22:00.000><c> minds</c><00:22:00.460><c> that</c><00:22:00.720><c> are</c><00:22:00.980><c> shaped</c><00:22:01.359><c> by</c><00:22:01.819><c> these</c><00:22:02.140><c> philosophies</c>

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:05.740
and<00:22:03.039><c> we</c><00:22:03.240><c> may</c><00:22:03.400><c> not</c><00:22:03.559><c> even</c><00:22:03.819><c> realize</c><00:22:04.240><c> it.</c>

00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:10.759
Religion,<00:22:07.720><c> an</c><00:22:07.859><c> entirely</c><00:22:08.319><c> human</c><00:22:09.019><c> made</c><00:22:09.599><c> phenomena.</c>

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:14.359
They<00:22:11.480><c> enable</c><00:22:11.740><c> people</c><00:22:12.099><c> from</c><00:22:12.400><c> different</c><00:22:12.839><c> faiths</c><00:22:13.480><c> or</c><00:22:13.779><c> none</c><00:22:14.099><c> to</c>

00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:16.759
work<00:22:14.619><c> together</c><00:22:15.160><c> in</c><00:22:15.819><c> religious</c><00:22:16.240><c> acts</c>

00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:19.519
when<00:22:17.240><c> they</c><00:22:17.500><c> engage</c><00:22:17.859><c> in</c><00:22:18.119><c> social</c><00:22:18.539><c> action.</c>

00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:22.140
They're<00:22:19.819><c> working</c><00:22:20.180><c> together,</c><00:22:20.839><c> and</c><00:22:20.940><c> this</c><00:22:21.079><c> is</c><00:22:21.240><c> what</c><00:22:21.359><c> the</c><00:22:21.559><c> BBC</c><00:22:21.819><c> says,</c>

00:22:22.380 --> 00:22:25.099
they're<00:22:22.660><c> working</c><00:22:23.059><c> together</c><00:22:23.619><c> to</c><00:22:23.880><c> bring</c><00:22:24.099><c> about</c><00:22:24.480><c> the</c><00:22:24.759><c> kingdom</c>

00:22:25.099 --> 00:22:27.099
of<00:22:25.400><c> God</c><00:22:25.740><c> on</c><00:22:26.180><c> earth.</c>

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:32.500
So<00:22:29.039><c> it's</c><00:22:29.839><c> interesting</c><00:22:30.160><c> isn't</c><00:22:30.359><c> it,</c><00:22:30.440><c> we're</c><00:22:30.680><c> living</c><00:22:30.960><c> in</c><00:22:31.160><c> a</c><00:22:31.359><c> society</c><00:22:31.759><c> young</c><00:22:32.000><c> people</c>

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:37.960
where<00:22:33.380><c> your</c><00:22:33.740><c> thoughts</c><00:22:34.220><c> are</c><00:22:34.839><c> trying</c><00:22:35.140><c> to</c><00:22:35.420><c> be</c><00:22:35.740><c> shaped</c><00:22:36.220><c> by</c><00:22:37.359><c> forces</c>

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.740
which<00:22:38.480><c> say</c>

00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:41.339
we're<00:22:39.240><c> going</c><00:22:39.359><c> to</c><00:22:39.539><c> bring</c><00:22:39.700><c> about</c><00:22:40.019><c> the</c><00:22:40.240><c> kingdom</c><00:22:40.519><c> of</c><00:22:40.799><c> God</c><00:22:40.960><c> on</c><00:22:41.200><c> earth.</c>

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:43.039
So<00:22:41.700><c> it</c><00:22:41.920><c> sounds</c><00:22:42.299><c> pretty</c><00:22:42.700><c> good.</c>

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:50.200
The<00:22:43.680><c> ideals,</c><00:22:44.500><c> the</c><00:22:44.720><c> ambitions,</c><00:22:47.099><c> they</c><00:22:47.279><c> ring</c><00:22:47.640><c> a</c><00:22:49.400><c> note</c><00:22:49.619><c> in</c><00:22:49.859><c> our</c><00:22:50.059><c> minds.</c>

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:52.759
You<00:22:50.359><c> think,</c><00:22:50.559><c> well</c><00:22:50.720><c> that's</c><00:22:51.180><c> good</c><00:22:51.500><c> isn't</c><00:22:51.779><c> it?</c>

00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:55.940
But<00:22:53.160><c> in</c><00:22:53.400><c> a</c><00:22:53.559><c> context</c><00:22:54.000><c> where</c><00:22:54.259><c> there's</c><00:22:54.539><c> no</c><00:22:54.839><c> absolute</c><00:22:55.299><c> right</c><00:22:55.640><c> or</c>

00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:57.440
wrong,<00:22:56.680><c> it</c><00:22:56.779><c> just</c><00:22:57.039><c> depends.</c>

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:58.579
So<00:22:57.640><c> you</c><00:22:57.779><c> can</c><00:22:58.000><c> please</c><00:22:58.119><c> yourself.</c>

00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.799
Whatever<00:22:59.039><c> your</c><00:22:59.380><c> lifestyle</c><00:22:59.759><c> choice</c><00:23:00.319><c> might</c><00:23:00.660><c> be,</c><00:23:01.240><c> then</c><00:23:01.440><c> you</c><00:23:01.619><c> can</c>

00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.319
be<00:23:02.099><c> happy</c><00:23:02.380><c> in</c><00:23:02.480><c> it</c><00:23:02.640><c> and</c><00:23:02.839><c> nobody</c><00:23:03.119><c> should</c><00:23:03.420><c> criticize</c><00:23:03.900><c> you.</c>

00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.579
Consequently<00:23:05.859><c> we</c><00:23:06.220><c> get</c><00:23:06.579><c> a</c><00:23:06.880><c> string</c><00:23:07.000><c> of</c><00:23:07.380><c> questions</c><00:23:07.799><c> being</c><00:23:08.240><c> asked</c>

00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:09.859
and<00:23:08.779><c> these</c><00:23:09.099><c> sets</c><00:23:09.359><c> of</c><00:23:09.559><c> questions,</c>

00:23:09.859 --> 00:23:15.920
I<00:23:10.000><c> didn't</c><00:23:10.539><c> put</c><00:23:10.819><c> them</c><00:23:11.019><c> together</c><00:23:11.559><c> for</c><00:23:13.980><c> Canada,</c><00:23:14.660><c> I</c><00:23:14.700><c> put</c><00:23:14.859><c> them</c><00:23:15.099><c> together</c><00:23:15.480><c> for</c>

00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:17.420
South<00:23:16.319><c> Wales,</c>

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.559
Mumbles<00:23:19.460><c> and</c><00:23:20.279><c> Cardiff.</c>

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:25.359
But<00:23:22.799><c> these</c><00:23:23.019><c> are</c><00:23:23.259><c> questions</c><00:23:23.680><c> which</c><00:23:24.000><c> are</c><00:23:24.119><c> now</c><00:23:24.380><c> coming</c><00:23:24.740><c> forward,</c>

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:29.259
not<00:23:25.660><c> just</c><00:23:26.079><c> from</c><00:23:26.299><c> people</c><00:23:27.019><c> on</c><00:23:27.980><c> the</c><00:23:28.279><c> fringe</c><00:23:28.480><c> in</c><00:23:28.660><c> the</c><00:23:28.900><c> world,</c>

00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:35.019
but<00:23:29.859><c> from</c><00:23:30.579><c> young</c><00:23:30.779><c> people</c><00:23:31.359><c> brought</c><00:23:32.039><c> up</c><00:23:32.500><c> in</c><00:23:33.519><c> ordinary,</c><00:23:34.599><c> strong</c>

Christadelphian<00:23:35.779><c> families.</c>

00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:39.400
So<00:23:36.400><c> they're</c><00:23:37.259><c> asking</c><00:23:37.259><c> questions</c><00:23:38.000><c> which</c><00:23:38.299><c> seem</c><00:23:38.519><c> to</c><00:23:38.900><c> strike</c><00:23:39.160><c> at</c>

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:42.299
the<00:23:39.759><c> heart</c><00:23:40.259><c> of</c><00:23:40.740><c> who</c><00:23:40.960><c> we</c><00:23:41.299><c> are.</c>

00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.140
Are<00:23:43.240><c> we</c><00:23:43.660><c> overly</c><00:23:44.259><c> confident</c><00:23:45.119><c> that</c><00:23:45.559><c> we</c><00:23:45.779><c> are</c><00:23:45.900><c> the</c><00:23:46.079><c> only</c><00:23:46.400><c> ones</c><00:23:46.819><c> who</c>

00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:48.259
have<00:23:47.319><c> the</c><00:23:47.559><c> truth</c><00:23:47.799><c> indeed?</c>

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:51.359
Should<00:23:48.740><c> we</c><00:23:48.940><c> even</c><00:23:49.099><c> be</c><00:23:49.480><c> saying</c><00:23:49.720><c> that</c><00:23:50.000><c> we</c><00:23:50.359><c> have</c><00:23:50.720><c> the</c><00:23:51.059><c> truth?</c>

00:23:51.579 --> 00:23:54.319
How<00:23:51.900><c> arrogant</c><00:23:52.259><c> is</c><00:23:52.559><c> that,</c><00:23:53.240><c> they</c><00:23:53.500><c> say.</c>

00:23:55.940 --> 00:23:58.579
How<00:23:56.359><c> can</c><00:23:56.759><c> so</c><00:23:57.059><c> many</c><00:23:57.380><c> be</c><00:23:57.759><c> wrong?</c>

00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:01.099
That<00:23:59.420><c> doesn't</c><00:23:59.720><c> seem</c><00:24:00.019><c> right.</c>

00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:08.980
Shouldn't<00:24:04.200><c> we</c><00:24:05.039><c> be</c><00:24:05.400><c> a</c><00:24:05.480><c> bit</c><00:24:05.799><c> more</c><00:24:07.039><c> flexible</c><00:24:08.259><c> in</c><00:24:08.500><c> how</c><00:24:08.680><c> we</c>

00:24:08.980 --> 00:24:09.680
describe<00:24:09.279><c> ourselves,</c>

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:15.279
more<00:24:10.819><c> accepting</c><00:24:11.759><c> of</c><00:24:12.819><c> the</c><00:24:13.119><c> way</c><00:24:13.319><c> others</c><00:24:13.660><c> describe</c><00:24:14.119><c> themselves?</c>

00:24:15.619 --> 00:24:19.240
Aren't<00:24:15.799><c> we</c><00:24:16.079><c> really</c><00:24:16.440><c> being</c><00:24:16.740><c> pharisaical</c><00:24:17.680><c> about</c><00:24:18.220><c> being</c><00:24:18.660><c> holier</c>

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:20.619
than<00:24:19.640><c> others?</c>

00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:24.200
And<00:24:21.200><c> surely</c><00:24:21.599><c> practical</c><00:24:22.420><c> Christianity</c><00:24:23.160><c> is</c><00:24:23.420><c> more</c><00:24:23.660><c> important</c>

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.019
than<00:24:24.519><c> doctrinal</c><00:24:25.059><c> purity.</c>

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.400
I've<00:24:27.160><c> just</c><00:24:27.420><c> shown</c><00:24:27.579><c> you</c><00:24:27.720><c> what</c><00:24:27.880><c> the</c><00:24:28.119><c> BBC</c><00:24:28.500><c> said</c><00:24:29.319><c> postmodernism</c>

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:31.960
does<00:24:30.680><c> to</c><00:24:31.019><c> religion.</c>

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:35.039
These<00:24:32.920><c> are</c><00:24:33.099><c> the</c><00:24:33.200><c> sets</c><00:24:33.420><c> of</c><00:24:33.700><c> questions</c><00:24:34.099><c> which</c><00:24:34.400><c> are</c><00:24:34.660><c> entirely</c>

00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:37.240
compatible<00:24:35.759><c> with</c><00:24:36.319><c> that.</c>

00:24:37.339 --> 00:24:40.559
So<00:24:37.480><c> then</c><00:24:37.619><c> we</c><00:24:37.819><c> ask</c><00:24:38.000><c> are</c><00:24:38.180><c> we</c><00:24:38.400><c> too</c><00:24:38.599><c> restrictive</c><00:24:39.180><c> in</c><00:24:39.460><c> our</c><00:24:39.700><c> fellowship?</c>

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.259
And<00:24:42.180><c> then</c><00:24:42.539><c> why</c><00:24:42.839><c> do</c><00:24:43.039><c> we</c><00:24:43.200><c> need</c><00:24:43.500><c> a</c><00:24:43.599><c> statement</c><00:24:43.759><c> of</c><00:24:44.019><c> faith</c><00:24:44.200><c> anyway?</c>

00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:52.779
And<00:24:47.779><c> shouldn't</c><00:24:47.920><c> we</c><00:24:48.220><c> be</c><00:24:48.519><c> more</c><00:24:48.839><c> inclusive</c><00:24:49.640><c> of</c><00:24:50.299><c> other</c><00:24:50.859><c> lifestyle</c><00:24:51.700><c> choices?</c>

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:58.160
Or<00:24:54.240><c> are</c><00:24:54.519><c> we</c><00:24:54.579><c> not</c><00:24:54.700><c> to</c><00:24:54.880><c> be</c><00:24:54.960><c> more</c><00:24:55.259><c> involved</c><00:24:55.900><c> in</c><00:24:56.440><c> practical</c><00:24:57.099><c> support</c><00:24:57.700><c> of</c><00:24:57.960><c> our</c>

00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:59.779
local<00:24:58.480><c> communities?</c>

00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:03.200
Food<00:25:00.220><c> kitchens</c><00:25:00.680><c> and</c><00:25:01.160><c> so</c><00:25:01.440><c> on.</c>

00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.059
And<00:25:04.140><c> shouldn't</c><00:25:04.440><c> we</c><00:25:04.660><c> be</c><00:25:04.839><c> doing</c><00:25:04.980><c> our</c><00:25:05.359><c> part</c><00:25:05.559><c> to</c><00:25:05.779><c> save</c><00:25:06.000><c> the</c><00:25:06.259><c> planet?</c>

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:12.720
Have<00:25:11.000><c> you</c><00:25:11.279><c> come</c><00:25:11.500><c> across</c><00:25:11.740><c> any</c><00:25:12.000><c> of</c><00:25:12.119><c> these</c><00:25:12.299><c> questions?</c>

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.640
Hands<00:25:13.039><c> up</c><00:25:13.259><c> if</c><00:25:13.440><c> you've</c><00:25:13.700><c> come</c><00:25:13.920><c> across</c><00:25:14.180><c> some</c><00:25:14.420><c> of</c><00:25:14.539><c> these</c><00:25:14.740><c> questions.</c>

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.440
So<00:25:16.259><c> it's</c><00:25:16.500><c> not</c><00:25:16.680><c> just</c><00:25:16.900><c> South</c><00:25:17.220><c> Wales</c><00:25:17.440><c> then,</c><00:25:17.740><c> is</c><00:25:17.759><c> it?</c>

00:25:19.299 --> 00:25:22.099
Now<00:25:19.819><c> just</c><00:25:20.339><c> what</c><00:25:20.599><c> I'm</c><00:25:20.779><c> pointing</c><00:25:21.059><c> out</c><00:25:21.279><c> to</c><00:25:21.359><c> you</c><00:25:21.420><c> is</c><00:25:21.579><c> where</c><00:25:21.900><c> do</c>

00:25:22.099 --> 00:25:23.339
those<00:25:22.400><c> questions</c><00:25:22.859><c> come</c><00:25:23.119><c> from?</c>

00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:26.140
You<00:25:23.759><c> may</c><00:25:24.039><c> think</c><00:25:24.279><c> if</c><00:25:24.440><c> you're</c><00:25:24.619><c> asking</c><00:25:24.859><c> these</c><00:25:25.099><c> questions</c><00:25:25.480><c> yourself,</c><00:25:26.000><c> you're</c>

00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:27.339
sitting<00:25:26.460><c> there</c>

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:31.339
and<00:25:28.259><c> you're</c><00:25:28.779><c> in</c><00:25:29.099><c> a</c><00:25:29.279><c> world</c><00:25:29.460><c> of</c><00:25:29.680><c> your</c><00:25:29.880><c> own</c><00:25:30.079><c> and</c><00:25:30.480><c> you're</c><00:25:30.799><c> thinking.</c>

00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:35.000
And<00:25:32.160><c> your</c><00:25:32.500><c> thoughts</c><00:25:32.880><c> have</c><00:25:33.099><c> come</c><00:25:33.259><c> up</c><00:25:33.480><c> with</c><00:25:33.660><c> these</c><00:25:33.940><c> questions.</c>

00:25:35.859 --> 00:25:38.460
And<00:25:35.980><c> you</c><00:25:36.079><c> may</c><00:25:36.279><c> think,</c><00:25:36.660><c> well,</c><00:25:37.319><c> nobody</c><00:25:37.640><c> else</c><00:25:37.940><c> seems</c><00:25:38.160><c> to</c><00:25:38.299><c> have</c>

00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:39.140
asked<00:25:38.539><c> this</c><00:25:38.799><c> question.</c>

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:42.940
I'm<00:25:39.720><c> the</c><00:25:39.980><c> first</c><00:25:40.279><c> one</c><00:25:40.819><c> who's</c><00:25:41.380><c> asked</c><00:25:41.619><c> this</c><00:25:41.920><c> question.</c>

00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:48.039
But<00:25:43.740><c> you're</c><00:25:44.019><c> not,</c><00:25:44.200><c> of</c><00:25:44.440><c> course,</c><00:25:45.220><c> because</c><00:25:45.599><c> these</c><00:25:45.920><c> questions</c><00:25:46.440><c> are</c><00:25:46.759><c> being</c><00:25:47.299><c> seeded</c><00:25:47.819><c> in</c>

00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:48.759
our<00:25:48.299><c> minds</c>

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:51.420
by<00:25:49.380><c> the</c><00:25:49.640><c> age</c><00:25:49.960><c> in</c><00:25:50.160><c> which</c><00:25:50.339><c> we</c><00:25:50.660><c> live.</c>

00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.700
Just<00:25:51.940><c> be</c><00:25:52.400><c> aware</c><00:25:52.819><c> of</c><00:25:53.079><c> that</c><00:25:53.240><c> because</c><00:25:53.660><c> it's</c><00:25:54.359><c> very</c><00:25:54.799><c> subtle.</c>

00:25:56.339 --> 00:26:00.500
This<00:25:56.539><c> is</c><00:25:56.720><c> the</c><00:25:56.880><c> High</c><00:25:57.140><c> Priest</c><00:25:57.759><c> of</c><00:25:58.680><c> that</c><00:25:59.359><c> philosophy.</c>

00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:04.259
And<00:26:01.240><c> he</c><00:26:01.500><c> asks</c><00:26:01.900><c> or</c><00:26:02.339><c> makes</c><00:26:02.799><c> four</c><00:26:03.279><c> points.</c>

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:09.319
Scientific<00:26:06.960><c> materialism,</c><00:26:07.839><c> as</c><00:26:08.200><c> expressed</c><00:26:08.599><c> by</c><00:26:09.000><c> Darwin,</c>

00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:12.380
has<00:26:09.900><c> made</c><00:26:10.079><c> the</c><00:26:10.299><c> God</c><00:26:10.480><c> hypothesis</c><00:26:11.180><c> redundant.</c>

00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:14.660
There's<00:26:13.000><c> no</c><00:26:13.240><c> need</c><00:26:13.380><c> for</c><00:26:13.599><c> God</c><00:26:13.740><c> anymore.</c>

00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:17.640
Religion<00:26:15.539><c> is</c><00:26:15.779><c> dangerous.</c><00:26:16.240><c> Look</c><00:26:16.420><c> at</c><00:26:16.539><c> all</c><00:26:16.700><c> the</c><00:26:16.880><c> bad</c><00:26:17.000><c> things</c><00:26:17.220><c> done</c><00:26:17.440><c> in</c>

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.940
the<00:26:17.740><c> name</c><00:26:17.880><c> of</c><00:26:18.160><c> religion.</c>

00:26:20.339 --> 00:26:23.059
And<00:26:20.559><c> religion</c><00:26:20.759><c> is</c><00:26:21.019><c> miraculous</c><00:26:21.380><c> and</c><00:26:21.940><c> miracles</c><00:26:22.220><c> are</c><00:26:22.460><c> unscientific.</c>

00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:25.759
They're<00:26:23.380><c> not,</c><00:26:23.660><c> but</c><00:26:23.880><c> that's</c><00:26:24.220><c> what</c><00:26:24.220><c> he</c><00:26:24.440><c> says</c><00:26:24.660><c> they</c><00:26:24.960><c> are.</c>

00:26:26.299 --> 00:26:27.619
And<00:26:26.500><c> then</c><00:26:26.779><c> the</c><00:26:27.059><c> fourth</c><00:26:27.299><c> point.</c>

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.359
And<00:26:28.380><c> anyway,</c><00:26:28.799><c> and</c><00:26:28.940><c> this</c><00:26:29.140><c> is</c><00:26:29.299><c> where</c><00:26:29.380><c> we</c><00:26:29.579><c> come</c><00:26:29.720><c> to</c><00:26:29.960><c> Habakkuk,</c>

00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.740
what<00:26:31.039><c> sort</c><00:26:31.460><c> of</c><00:26:31.740><c> God</c><00:26:32.039><c> would</c><00:26:32.380><c> create</c><00:26:32.740><c> suffering?</c>

00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:40.700
So<00:26:36.559><c> this</c><00:26:36.880><c> question</c><00:26:37.359><c> of</c><00:26:37.960><c> suffering</c><00:26:38.500><c> and</c><00:26:38.779><c> how</c><00:26:39.099><c> is</c><00:26:39.319><c> it</c><00:26:39.720><c> compatible</c><00:26:40.180><c> with</c><00:26:40.500><c> the</c>

00:26:40.700 --> 00:26:41.779
existence<00:26:41.079><c> of</c><00:26:41.420><c> God</c>

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:45.859
is<00:26:42.480><c> when</c><00:26:42.799><c> you</c><00:26:43.079><c> talk</c><00:26:43.299><c> to</c><00:26:43.559><c> people</c><00:26:43.920><c> who</c><00:26:44.279><c> have...</c>

00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:49.279
just<00:26:47.880><c> talk</c><00:26:48.119><c> to</c><00:26:48.319><c> people.</c>

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:53.099
It'll<00:26:49.759><c> be</c><00:26:50.039><c> the</c><00:26:50.480><c> commonest</c><00:26:51.000><c> reason</c><00:26:51.400><c> why</c><00:26:51.660><c> people</c><00:26:51.940><c> don't</c><00:26:52.220><c> believe</c><00:26:52.500><c> in</c><00:26:52.740><c> God</c>

00:26:53.099 --> 00:26:57.019

00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:01.460
It<00:27:00.240><c> may</c><00:27:00.460><c> come</c><00:27:00.640><c> upon</c><00:27:00.900><c> us</c><00:27:01.059><c> suddenly.</c>

00:27:01.660 --> 00:27:06.359
It<00:27:01.779><c> might</c><00:27:02.160><c> take</c><00:27:02.380><c> us</c><00:27:02.599><c> by</c><00:27:02.799><c> surprise</c><00:27:03.299><c> when</c><00:27:03.539><c> we</c><00:27:03.819><c> are</c><00:27:05.299><c> mystified</c><00:27:06.039><c> by</c>

a<00:27:06.539><c> situation.</c>

00:27:07.220 --> 00:27:08.960
How<00:27:07.440><c> is</c><00:27:07.619><c> it</c><00:27:07.799><c> possible?</c>

00:27:09.579 --> 00:27:13.480
How<00:27:10.099><c> is</c><00:27:10.599><c> it</c><00:27:10.880><c> possible</c><00:27:11.380><c> that</c><00:27:11.680><c> God</c><00:27:12.059><c> could</c><00:27:12.460><c> allow,</c><00:27:13.059><c> tolerate,</c>

00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.279
What<00:27:21.279><c> I</c><00:27:21.440><c> think</c><00:27:21.619><c> is</c><00:27:21.799><c> so</c><00:27:22.000><c> remarkable</c><00:27:22.480><c> about</c><00:27:22.839><c> Habakkuk</c>

00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.740
is<00:27:23.420><c> that</c><00:27:23.940><c> this</c><00:27:24.440><c> question</c><00:27:24.839><c> is</c><00:27:25.180><c> asked</c><00:27:25.720><c> at</c><00:27:26.299><c> the</c><00:27:26.440><c> outset.</c>

00:27:26.900 --> 00:27:28.980
The<00:27:27.039><c> Bible</c><00:27:27.339><c> doesn't</c><00:27:27.680><c> hide</c><00:27:28.140><c> from</c><00:27:28.400><c> these</c><00:27:28.640><c> questions.</c>

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:30.420
God<00:27:29.240><c> doesn't</c><00:27:29.660><c> cover</c><00:27:29.960><c> them</c><00:27:30.259><c> over.</c>

00:27:30.539 --> 00:27:33.099
He<00:27:30.559><c> doesn't</c><00:27:30.660><c> say,</c><00:27:30.859><c> oh,</c><00:27:31.519><c> please</c><00:27:31.859><c> never</c><00:27:32.160><c> ask</c><00:27:32.420><c> these</c><00:27:32.680><c> questions</c>

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:34.559
because<00:27:33.460><c> we</c><00:27:33.660><c> don't</c><00:27:33.839><c> have</c><00:27:33.980><c> the</c><00:27:34.160><c> answers.</c>

00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:36.619
The<00:27:35.059><c> Bible</c><00:27:35.420><c> actually</c><00:27:35.880><c> opens</c><00:27:36.279><c> them</c><00:27:36.500><c> up.</c>

00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:39.920
The<00:27:36.759><c> book</c><00:27:36.980><c> of</c><00:27:37.240><c> Job,</c><00:27:38.299><c> perhaps</c><00:27:38.500><c> one</c><00:27:38.940><c> of</c><00:27:38.980><c> the</c><00:27:39.079><c> oldest</c><00:27:39.359><c> books</c><00:27:39.700><c> in</c>

the<00:27:39.980><c> whole</c><00:27:40.140><c> of</c><00:27:40.279><c> the</c><00:27:40.460><c> scripture,</c>

00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:43.339

00:27:43.579 --> 00:27:45.039
Habakkuk<00:27:44.160><c> is</c><00:27:44.480><c> about</c><00:27:44.779><c> this.</c>

00:27:45.140 --> 00:27:49.119
How<00:27:45.319><c> long</c><00:27:46.119><c> shall</c><00:27:46.500><c> I</c><00:27:46.759><c> cry</c><00:27:47.339><c> and</c><00:27:47.900><c> thou</c><00:27:48.180><c> wilt</c><00:27:48.460><c> not</c><00:27:48.799><c> hear,</c>

even<00:27:49.660><c> cry</c><00:27:50.200><c> unto</c><00:27:50.519><c> thee</c><00:27:50.700><c> of</c><00:27:50.980><c> violence,</c><00:27:52.140><c> and</c><00:27:52.299><c> thou</c><00:27:52.519><c> wilt</c><00:27:52.779><c> not</c><00:27:53.119><c> save?</c>

00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:56.299
That's<00:27:54.839><c> the</c><00:27:55.059><c> fundamental</c><00:27:55.740><c> question.</c>

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:58.279
And<00:27:56.920><c> I</c><00:27:57.059><c> think</c><00:27:57.220><c> it's</c><00:27:57.559><c> a</c><00:27:57.740><c> challenge.</c>

00:27:58.500 --> 00:28:02.720
It's<00:27:58.859><c> a</c><00:27:58.880><c> response</c><00:27:59.519><c> to</c><00:27:59.819><c> postmodernism</c><00:28:00.859><c> and</c><00:28:01.539><c> humanism.</c>

00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.319
When<00:28:03.259><c> we</c><00:28:03.519><c> look</c><00:28:03.779><c> at</c><00:28:04.079><c> this</c><00:28:04.359><c> book</c><00:28:04.619><c> and</c><00:28:04.980><c> try</c><00:28:05.180><c> to</c><00:28:05.400><c> get</c><00:28:05.519><c> a</c><00:28:05.680><c> grip</c><00:28:05.900><c> of</c>

00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:09.059
just<00:28:06.579><c> three</c><00:28:07.259><c> short</c><00:28:07.920><c> chapters,</c>

00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:14.619
God<00:28:10.500><c> gives</c><00:28:10.960><c> us</c><00:28:11.240><c> the</c><00:28:11.460><c> question</c><00:28:11.980><c> and</c><00:28:12.579><c> then</c><00:28:12.819><c> gives</c><00:28:13.019><c> us</c><00:28:13.380><c> the</c><00:28:13.579><c> answer.</c>

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:20.059
And<00:28:15.259><c> it's</c><00:28:15.519><c> an</c><00:28:15.700><c> answer</c><00:28:15.960><c> that</c><00:28:16.259><c> Habakkuk</c><00:28:17.519><c> presses</c><00:28:18.039><c> upon</c><00:28:18.619><c> our</c><00:28:19.019><c> attention.</c>

00:28:21.980 --> 00:28:23.839
Have<00:28:22.059><c> you</c><00:28:22.140><c> got</c><00:28:22.420><c> Habakkuk</c><00:28:22.960><c> open?</c>

00:29:54.660 --> 00:29:56.839
It's<00:29:54.920><c> not</c><00:29:55.099><c> even</c><00:29:55.400><c> the</c><00:29:55.599><c> first</c><00:29:55.819><c> part</c><00:29:56.079><c> of</c><00:29:56.259><c> a</c><00:29:56.440><c> verse.</c>

00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:59.079

00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:32.859
We<00:30:29.240><c> use</c><00:30:29.579><c> it</c><00:30:29.839><c> to</c><00:30:30.160><c> prove</c><00:30:31.039><c> God's</c><00:30:31.980><c> purpose</c><00:30:32.279><c> with</c><00:30:32.559><c> the</c><00:30:32.700><c> earth.</c>

00:30:32.859 --> 00:30:36.220
But<00:30:33.099><c> can</c><00:30:33.400><c> you</c><00:30:33.599><c> explain</c><00:30:33.940><c> verse</c><00:30:34.220><c> 13</c><00:30:34.680><c> and</c><00:30:34.880><c> verse</c><00:30:35.140><c> 15?</c>

00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:47.240
This<00:30:43.680><c> is</c><00:30:43.940><c> a</c><00:30:44.000><c> difficult</c><00:30:44.420><c> book</c><00:30:45.000><c> to</c><00:30:46.339><c> follow,</c>
