00:01:03.219 --> 00:01:07.519
So<00:01:03.579><c> keep</c><00:01:03.820><c> it</c><00:01:04.099><c> secret.</c><00:01:04.459><c> Don't</c><00:01:04.700><c> let</c><00:01:05.420><c> certain</c><00:01:05.700><c> people</c><00:01:06.019><c> see</c><00:01:06.200><c> you've</c><00:01:06.500><c> got</c><00:01:06.659><c> it.</c>

00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:11.280
It<00:01:08.560><c> probably</c><00:01:08.900><c> looks</c><00:01:09.159><c> terribly</c><00:01:09.560><c> complicated</c><00:01:10.659><c> when</c><00:01:10.959><c> you</c><00:01:11.140><c> look</c>

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:12.140

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.459
And<00:01:12.400><c> you</c><00:01:12.500><c> can</c><00:01:12.719><c> see,</c><00:01:12.939><c> therefore,</c><00:01:13.180><c> why</c><00:01:13.420><c> people</c><00:01:13.700><c> might</c><00:01:13.959><c> suggest</c>

00:01:14.459 --> 00:01:16.799
that<00:01:14.920><c> you</c><00:01:15.060><c> don't</c><00:01:15.239><c> just</c><00:01:15.420><c> put</c><00:01:15.560><c> it</c><00:01:15.719><c> up</c><00:01:15.840><c> as</c><00:01:16.099><c> a</c><00:01:16.459><c> transparency.</c>

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:21.040

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.200
might<00:01:21.340><c> find</c><00:01:21.540><c> it</c><00:01:21.739><c> helpful</c><00:01:22.200><c> in</c><00:01:23.379><c> analysing</c><00:01:24.159><c> the</c><00:01:24.519><c> structure</c><00:01:24.900><c> of</c>

00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:42.680
And<00:01:39.120><c> being</c><00:01:39.420><c> realistic,</c><00:01:40.640><c> any</c><00:01:41.000><c> speaker</c><00:01:41.400><c> who</c><00:01:41.700><c> thinks</c><00:01:42.000><c> that</c><00:01:42.299><c> people</c><00:01:42.480><c> are</c>

00:01:45.379 --> 00:01:48.959
Well,<00:01:46.079><c> then</c><00:01:46.219><c> that</c><00:01:46.400><c> person</c><00:01:46.739><c> just</c><00:01:47.079><c> isn't</c><00:01:47.340><c> in</c><00:01:47.540><c> touch</c><00:01:47.700><c> with</c><00:01:47.939><c> reality.</c>

Well,<00:02:42.319><c> we</c><00:02:42.379><c> went</c><00:02:42.699><c> wrong</c><00:02:43.080><c> somewhere</c><00:02:43.580><c> in</c><00:02:43.919><c> step</c><00:02:44.159><c> one.</c>

00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.699
Somehow,<00:02:47.039><c> inadvertently,</c><00:02:47.919><c> unconsciously</c><00:02:48.639><c> or</c><00:02:48.919><c> deliberately,</c><00:02:49.960><c> we</c><00:02:50.120><c> put</c><00:02:50.419><c> the</c>

00:02:50.699 --> 00:02:54.120
wrong<00:02:51.000><c> thing</c><00:02:51.240><c> into</c><00:02:51.419><c> our</c><00:02:51.680><c> brain</c><00:02:52.039><c> or</c><00:02:52.500><c> we</c><00:02:52.819><c> allowed</c><00:02:53.240><c> the</c><00:02:53.479><c> wrong</c><00:02:53.719><c> thing</c><00:02:53.919><c> to</c>

00:02:55.740 --> 00:03:00.080
That<00:02:55.960><c> of</c><00:02:56.159><c> itself</c><00:02:56.560><c> then,</c><00:02:56.800><c> of</c><00:02:56.979><c> course,</c><00:02:57.180><c> went</c><00:02:57.419><c> into</c><00:02:57.780><c> the</c><00:02:57.919><c> emotions</c><00:02:58.639><c> and</c><00:02:59.060><c> desires,</c><00:02:59.780><c> and</c>

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.500
we<00:03:00.379><c> ended</c><00:03:00.620><c> up</c><00:03:00.879><c> doing</c><00:03:01.139><c> it.</c>

00:03:01.979 --> 00:03:04.759
And<00:03:02.199><c> we</c><00:03:02.259><c> end</c><00:03:02.460><c> up</c><00:03:02.659><c> being</c><00:03:02.879><c> like</c><00:03:03.120><c> Paul</c><00:03:03.460><c> in</c><00:03:03.560><c> Romans</c><00:03:03.919><c> seven</c><00:03:04.360><c> saying,</c>

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.259
oh,<00:03:05.240><c> Richard,</c><00:03:05.780><c> man,</c><00:03:05.979><c> that</c><00:03:06.139><c> I</c><00:03:06.300><c> am</c><00:03:06.620><c> who's</c><00:03:07.360><c> going</c><00:03:07.539><c> to</c><00:03:07.840><c> deliver</c><00:03:08.000><c> me</c>

00:03:08.259 --> 00:03:09.340
from<00:03:08.400><c> this</c><00:03:08.639><c> body</c><00:03:08.960><c> of</c><00:03:09.159><c> death,</c>

00:03:09.340 --> 00:03:12.780
this<00:03:09.919><c> body</c><00:03:10.360><c> that</c><00:03:10.639><c> says</c><00:03:10.979><c> serve</c><00:03:11.479><c> yourself,</c><00:03:12.120><c> serve</c><00:03:12.319><c> yourself,</c>

00:03:12.860 --> 00:03:14.139
serve<00:03:13.099><c> yourself.</c>

00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:18.960
So<00:03:14.860><c> whilst</c><00:03:15.219><c> Romans</c><00:03:15.740><c> spells</c><00:03:16.120><c> it</c><00:03:16.379><c> out</c><00:03:16.500><c> in</c><00:03:16.719><c> one</c><00:03:16.900><c> way,</c><00:03:17.340><c> and</c><00:03:17.419><c> occasionally</c><00:03:17.819><c> we</c><00:03:18.060><c> will</c><00:03:18.219><c> slip</c><00:03:18.360><c> across</c><00:03:18.719><c> to</c>

00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.719
Romans<00:03:19.159><c> because</c><00:03:19.419><c> Romans</c><00:03:19.719><c> actually</c><00:03:20.800><c> spells</c><00:03:21.580><c> it</c><00:03:21.819><c> out</c><00:03:22.300><c> more</c>

00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:23.699
simply,<00:03:23.439><c> really.</c>

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.039
John<00:03:24.360><c> simply</c><00:03:24.780><c> puts</c><00:03:25.039><c> it</c><00:03:25.280><c> in</c><00:03:25.719><c> these</c><00:03:26.020><c> terms</c><00:03:26.319><c> and</c><00:03:26.539><c> says,</c><00:03:26.900><c> well,</c>

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:29.479
you've<00:03:28.340><c> got</c><00:03:28.439><c> your</c><00:03:28.580><c> choice.</c>

00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:31.719
You're<00:03:29.879><c> either</c><00:03:30.099><c> in</c><00:03:30.340><c> light</c><00:03:30.539><c> or</c><00:03:30.759><c> darkness.</c>

00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.639
You're<00:03:32.180><c> either</c><00:03:32.500><c> in</c><00:03:32.860><c> truth</c><00:03:33.080><c> or</c><00:03:33.360><c> error.</c>

00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:35.960
You're<00:03:34.340><c> either</c><00:03:34.840><c> in</c><00:03:35.199><c> life</c><00:03:35.500><c> or</c><00:03:35.719><c> death.</c>

00:03:36.259 --> 00:03:38.900
And<00:03:36.680><c> remember</c><00:03:36.900><c> that</c><00:03:37.199><c> term,</c><00:03:37.639><c> it's</c><00:03:38.000><c> absolute</c><00:03:38.419><c> language.</c>

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:42.199
But<00:03:39.439><c> if</c><00:03:39.620><c> we're</c><00:03:40.000><c> going</c><00:03:40.000><c> to</c><00:03:40.139><c> go</c><00:03:40.280><c> wrong,</c><00:03:40.860><c> it's</c><00:03:41.139><c> the</c><00:03:41.340><c> mind.</c>

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.000
If<00:03:42.460><c> we're</c><00:03:42.719><c> going</c><00:03:42.840><c> to</c><00:03:43.000><c> go</c><00:03:43.280><c> right,</c><00:03:43.919><c> it's</c><00:03:44.180><c> going</c><00:03:44.300><c> to</c><00:03:44.439><c> be</c><00:03:44.560><c> the</c><00:03:44.740><c> mind.</c>

00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.259
So<00:03:45.740><c> really,</c><00:03:46.280><c> this</c><00:03:46.460><c> is</c><00:03:46.699><c> where</c><00:03:46.860><c> John</c><00:03:47.159><c> now,</c><00:03:47.539><c> on</c><00:03:47.759><c> the</c><00:03:47.919><c> other</c><00:03:48.099><c> hand,</c>

00:03:48.259 --> 00:03:49.060
becomes<00:03:48.620><c> easy.</c>

00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.300
On<00:03:49.659><c> the</c><00:03:49.800><c> one</c><00:03:50.020><c> hand,</c><00:03:50.259><c> we</c><00:03:50.300><c> might</c><00:03:50.539><c> say</c><00:03:50.819><c> John</c><00:03:51.139><c> has</c><00:03:51.379><c> a</c><00:03:51.639><c> complex</c><00:03:52.120><c> structure,</c><00:03:53.099><c> but</c>

00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:54.780
the<00:03:53.560><c> message</c><00:03:53.840><c> is</c><00:03:54.080><c> very</c><00:03:54.439><c> simple.</c>

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.240
And<00:03:55.319><c> he</c><00:03:55.500><c> does</c><00:03:55.740><c> that</c><00:03:56.060><c> by</c><00:03:56.680><c> repeating</c><00:03:57.319><c> many</c><00:03:58.159><c> words.</c>

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.879
For<00:03:59.699><c> example,</c><00:04:00.159><c> on</c><00:04:00.360><c> this</c><00:04:00.639><c> transparency</c><00:04:01.300><c> here,</c><00:04:02.120><c> I've</c><00:04:02.580><c> selected</c>

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.819
but<00:04:03.080><c> a</c><00:04:03.360><c> few</c><00:04:03.699><c> of</c><00:04:04.099><c> the</c><00:04:04.620><c> significant</c><00:04:05.300><c> words</c><00:04:05.699><c> in</c><00:04:05.919><c> John's</c><00:04:06.419><c> gospel.</c>

00:04:06.819 --> 00:04:10.419
And<00:04:07.439><c> therefore,</c><00:04:08.979><c> whilst</c><00:04:09.159><c> on</c><00:04:09.360><c> the</c><00:04:09.500><c> one</c><00:04:09.699><c> hand,</c><00:04:10.000><c> we're</c><00:04:10.020><c> going</c><00:04:10.199><c> to</c>

00:04:10.419 --> 00:04:13.219
say<00:04:10.560><c> maybe</c><00:04:10.919><c> the</c><00:04:11.259><c> structure</c><00:04:11.659><c> appears</c><00:04:12.099><c> complex,</c>

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.180
when<00:04:13.400><c> we</c><00:04:13.620><c> come</c><00:04:13.759><c> to</c><00:04:14.020><c> realize</c><00:04:14.340><c> that</c><00:04:14.539><c> what</c><00:04:14.680><c> he</c><00:04:14.840><c> does</c><00:04:15.080><c> is</c><00:04:15.439><c> he</c><00:04:15.819><c> repeats</c><00:04:16.300><c> certain</c><00:04:16.839><c> words</c>

00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:19.899

00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:23.220
really,<00:04:20.220><c> therefore,</c><00:04:20.560><c> he's</c><00:04:20.879><c> delivering</c><00:04:21.160><c> it</c><00:04:21.420><c> to</c><00:04:21.600><c> us</c><00:04:22.300><c> in</c><00:04:22.899><c> quite</c>

00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:24.660
a<00:04:23.500><c> simple</c><00:04:23.720><c> way.</c>

00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:27.319
I've<00:04:25.740><c> selected</c><00:04:25.959><c> just</c><00:04:26.240><c> a</c><00:04:26.420><c> few</c><00:04:26.519><c> on</c><00:04:26.720><c> that</c><00:04:27.019><c> chart.</c>

got,<00:09:44.500><c> of</c><00:09:44.700><c> which</c><00:09:44.879><c> you</c><00:09:45.080><c> now</c><00:09:45.279><c> have</c><00:09:45.460><c> a</c><00:09:45.679><c> paper</c><00:09:45.940><c> copy</c><00:09:46.299><c> that</c><00:09:46.840><c> looks</c>

00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:49.379
something<00:09:47.759><c> like</c><00:09:48.379><c> that.</c>

00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:54.320
And<00:09:50.100><c> the</c><00:09:50.320><c> essence</c><00:09:50.559><c> of</c><00:09:50.779><c> that</c><00:09:51.019><c> chart</c><00:09:51.519><c> is</c><00:09:52.759><c> that</c><00:09:53.379><c> what</c><00:09:53.600><c> we</c><00:09:53.860><c> find</c><00:09:54.100><c> is</c>

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.120
that<00:09:54.460><c> as</c><00:09:54.639><c> John</c><00:09:54.899><c> goes</c><00:09:55.279><c> through,</c><00:09:56.220><c> every</c><00:09:56.360><c> now</c><00:09:56.500><c> and</c><00:09:56.639><c> again</c><00:09:56.759><c> he</c><00:09:56.879><c> will</c><00:09:57.100><c> move</c><00:09:57.320><c> sideways</c><00:09:57.799><c> and</c>

00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.700
make<00:09:58.299><c> a</c><00:09:58.559><c> contrast.</c>

00:10:00.340 --> 00:10:03.240
And<00:10:00.700><c> hopefully</c><00:10:01.200><c> you'll</c><00:10:02.100><c> be</c><00:10:02.259><c> able</c><00:10:02.379><c> to</c><00:10:02.659><c> follow</c><00:10:02.879><c> that.</c>

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.539
Now,<00:10:03.659><c> I've</c><00:10:03.840><c> just</c><00:10:04.100><c> looked</c><00:10:04.279><c> at</c><00:10:04.440><c> this</c><00:10:04.559><c> for</c><00:10:04.740><c> the</c><00:10:04.919><c> first</c><00:10:05.200><c> time</c><00:10:05.600><c> and</c>

00:10:06.539 --> 00:10:10.340
what<00:10:06.820><c> you've</c><00:10:07.179><c> got</c><00:10:07.340><c> there</c><00:10:07.600><c> this</c><00:10:07.879><c> morning,</c><00:10:08.980><c> at</c><00:10:09.220><c> some</c><00:10:09.480><c> stage</c><00:10:09.779><c> during</c><00:10:10.100><c> the</c>

00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:14.659
talk,<00:10:10.879><c> I</c><00:10:11.220><c> think</c><00:10:11.500><c> I</c><00:10:11.840><c> am</c><00:10:12.120><c> allowed</c><00:10:12.700><c> to</c><00:10:13.440><c> put</c><00:10:13.639><c> up</c><00:10:13.860><c> these</c><00:10:14.139><c> simple</c><00:10:14.440><c> ones.</c>

00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:16.480
It's<00:10:14.899><c> just</c><00:10:15.200><c> this</c><00:10:15.500><c> one</c><00:10:15.620><c> you're</c><00:10:15.820><c> not</c><00:10:15.940><c> allowed</c><00:10:16.139><c> to</c><00:10:16.360><c> see.</c>

00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:19.360
So<00:10:16.940><c> perhaps</c><00:10:17.179><c> for</c><00:10:17.460><c> the</c><00:10:17.580><c> last</c><00:10:17.840><c> time</c><00:10:18.179><c> that</c><00:10:18.700><c> goes</c><00:10:19.000><c> up.</c>

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:22.899
But<00:10:19.919><c> see,</c><00:10:20.039><c> when</c><00:10:20.179><c> we</c><00:10:20.419><c> come</c><00:10:20.559><c> in</c><00:10:20.740><c> a</c><00:10:20.840><c> moment</c><00:10:21.100><c> to</c><00:10:21.360><c> just</c><00:10:21.659><c> do</c><00:10:21.879><c> an</c><00:10:22.179><c> overview</c><00:10:22.519><c> and</c>

00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:25.279
that<00:10:23.179><c> moment</c><00:10:23.440><c> will</c><00:10:23.720><c> probably</c><00:10:24.100><c> be</c><00:10:24.299><c> about</c><00:10:24.440><c> the</c><00:10:24.659><c> last</c><00:10:24.879><c> five</c><00:10:25.080><c> or</c>

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.960
ten<00:10:25.480><c> minutes</c><00:10:25.759><c> of</c><00:10:25.940><c> the</c><00:10:26.179><c> talk.</c>

00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:32.700
What<00:10:27.299><c> we</c><00:10:27.600><c> hope</c><00:10:27.779><c> to</c><00:10:28.059><c> see</c><00:10:28.240><c> then</c><00:10:28.539><c> is,</c><00:10:31.539><c> and</c><00:10:31.720><c> you've</c><00:10:32.080><c> got</c><00:10:32.240><c> that</c><00:10:32.500><c> in</c>

00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.379
You've<00:10:40.240><c> got</c><00:10:40.379><c> that</c><00:10:40.820><c> in</c><00:10:40.960><c> front</c><00:10:41.120><c> of</c><00:10:41.240><c> you</c><00:10:41.360><c> in</c><00:10:41.519><c> that</c><00:10:41.639><c> area</c><00:10:42.019><c> there.</c>

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:47.440
You<00:10:42.860><c> may</c><00:10:43.139><c> like</c><00:10:43.299><c> to</c><00:10:43.600><c> colour</c><00:10:43.759><c> it</c><00:10:44.000><c> in</c><00:10:44.360><c> so</c><00:10:44.740><c> that</c><00:10:44.940><c> the</c><00:10:45.159><c> dashed</c><00:10:45.700><c> lines,</c><00:10:47.279><c> and</c>

00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:05.539
you're<00:11:03.799><c> contrasting</c><00:11:04.220><c> light</c><00:11:04.379><c> and</c><00:11:04.580><c> darkness.</c>

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.980
What<00:11:05.759><c> we're</c><00:11:06.000><c> going</c><00:11:06.139><c> to</c><00:11:06.360><c> see</c><00:11:06.500><c> then</c><00:11:06.759><c> as</c><00:11:06.919><c> we</c><00:11:07.120><c> go</c><00:11:07.340><c> through</c><00:11:07.580><c> here,</c>

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.580
that<00:11:08.340><c> these</c><00:11:08.799><c> things,</c><00:11:09.019><c> I've</c><00:11:09.360><c> coloured</c><00:11:09.500><c> them</c><00:11:09.700><c> in</c><00:11:09.840><c> in</c><00:11:10.059><c> red,</c><00:11:11.159><c> are</c>

00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.440
Okay,<00:11:15.840><c> so</c><00:11:16.320><c> that's</c><00:11:16.879><c> an</c><00:11:17.039><c> explanation</c><00:11:17.519><c> what</c><00:11:17.759><c> I'm</c><00:11:18.059><c> going</c><00:11:18.100><c> to</c><00:11:18.279><c> try</c>

00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:23.179

00:11:23.179 --> 00:11:27.080
be<00:11:23.360><c> a</c><00:11:23.539><c> helpful</c><00:11:23.919><c> adjunct</c><00:11:24.820><c> to</c><00:11:25.440><c> that</c><00:11:25.759><c> particular</c><00:11:26.220><c> one,</c>

which<00:11:27.919><c> as</c><00:11:28.299><c> I</c><00:11:28.700><c> recall</c><00:11:29.039><c> it,</c><00:11:29.720><c> is</c><00:11:29.940><c> probably</c><00:11:30.360><c> very</c><00:11:30.940><c> close</c><00:11:31.100><c> to</c><00:11:31.279><c> the</c>

00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:33.720

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:38.279
If<00:11:34.139><c> it's</c><00:11:34.360><c> not</c><00:11:34.679><c> exactly</c><00:11:35.120><c> the</c><00:11:35.340><c> same,</c><00:11:35.480><c> it'll</c><00:11:35.759><c> be</c><00:11:36.200><c> very</c><00:11:36.600><c> similar</c><00:11:37.000><c> to</c><00:11:37.259><c> it,</c><00:11:37.460><c> and</c><00:11:38.120><c> I</c>

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.980
think<00:11:38.440><c> most</c><00:11:38.820><c> commentators</c><00:11:39.419><c> would</c><00:11:40.100><c> do</c><00:11:40.360><c> it</c><00:11:40.740><c> that</c><00:11:41.080><c> way.</c>

00:11:42.250 --> 00:11:45.340
So<00:11:42.580><c> with</c><00:11:42.820><c> that</c><00:11:43.059><c> word</c><00:11:43.220><c> of</c><00:11:43.480><c> explanation,</c><00:11:44.360><c> let's</c><00:11:44.620><c> not</c><00:11:44.840><c> spend</c><00:11:45.059><c> any</c>

00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:54.340
something<00:11:49.519><c> about</c><00:11:50.120><c> getting</c><00:11:50.559><c> the</c><00:11:50.960><c> message</c><00:11:51.279><c> of</c><00:11:51.440><c> John</c><00:11:51.779><c> for</c><00:11:53.259><c> ourselves.</c>

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:59.179
What<00:11:55.320><c> we</c><00:11:55.600><c> saw</c><00:11:55.779><c> then</c><00:11:56.080><c> yesterday</c><00:11:56.580><c> in</c><00:11:57.259><c> 1</c><00:11:57.539><c> John</c><00:11:57.919><c> 1</c><00:11:58.500><c> and</c><00:11:58.740><c> the</c><00:11:58.899><c> last</c>

00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:02.399
three<00:11:59.440><c> verses,</c><00:12:00.419><c> is</c><00:12:00.759><c> something</c><00:12:01.179><c> that</c><00:12:01.399><c> is</c><00:12:01.639><c> worth</c><00:12:01.940><c> repeating,</c>

00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:06.700
because<00:12:03.039><c> this</c><00:12:03.899><c> is</c><00:12:04.279><c> to</c><00:12:04.419><c> me</c><00:12:04.799><c> very,</c><00:12:05.220><c> very</c><00:12:05.779><c> important,</c><00:12:06.360><c> to</c><00:12:06.519><c> me</c>

00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:08.019

and<00:14:22.120><c> those</c><00:14:22.320><c> two</c><00:14:22.559><c> directions</c><00:14:22.879><c> eventually</c><00:14:23.379><c> meet</c><00:14:23.659><c> up.</c>

00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:27.519
Both<00:14:24.580><c> of</c><00:14:24.840><c> them</c><00:14:25.259><c> concentrate</c><00:14:26.100><c> on</c><00:14:26.440><c> the</c><00:14:26.679><c> flesh.</c>

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:31.360
The<00:14:27.940><c> doctrine</c><00:14:28.360><c> of</c><00:14:28.639><c> the</c><00:14:28.899><c> atonement</c><00:14:29.399><c> is</c><00:14:30.000><c> we've</c><00:14:30.820><c> got</c><00:14:30.940><c> to</c><00:14:31.019><c> focus</c>

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.620
on<00:14:31.700><c> God.</c>

00:14:32.860 --> 00:14:37.360
Romans<00:14:33.460><c> puts</c><00:14:33.759><c> it</c><00:14:33.980><c> in</c><00:14:34.100><c> these</c><00:14:34.379><c> words,</c><00:14:35.419><c> I</c><00:14:35.419><c> am</c><00:14:35.639><c> not</c><00:14:35.820><c> ashamed</c><00:14:36.179><c> of</c><00:14:36.340><c> the</c><00:14:36.500><c> gospel</c><00:14:36.799><c> of</c><00:14:37.019><c> Christ.</c>

00:14:37.460 --> 00:14:41.600
It<00:14:37.500><c> is</c><00:14:37.659><c> the</c><00:14:37.860><c> power</c><00:14:38.120><c> of</c><00:14:38.320><c> God</c><00:14:38.440><c> to</c><00:14:38.679><c> salvation</c><00:14:39.299><c> to</c><00:14:40.480><c> everyone</c><00:14:41.120><c> that</c>

00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.620
So<00:14:46.019><c> when</c><00:14:46.200><c> we</c><00:14:46.440><c> see</c><00:14:46.600><c> the</c><00:14:46.879><c> gospel</c><00:14:47.240><c> as</c><00:14:47.440><c> something</c><00:14:47.720><c> which</c><00:14:48.080><c> elevates</c>

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:52.940
God,<00:14:50.299><c> then</c><00:14:50.480><c> man</c><00:14:50.899><c> stands</c><00:14:51.220><c> to</c><00:14:51.440><c> be</c><00:14:51.539><c> the</c><00:14:51.820><c> beneficiary.</c>

00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:57.039
And<00:14:53.679><c> so</c><00:14:53.980><c> verse</c><00:14:54.299><c> 9</c><00:14:54.740><c> here</c><00:14:55.059><c> shows</c><00:14:55.340><c> how</c><00:14:55.600><c> we</c><00:14:55.779><c> can</c><00:14:56.039><c> actually</c><00:14:56.539><c> elevate</c>

00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.379
God<00:14:57.679><c> when</c><00:14:58.120><c> we've</c><00:14:58.340><c> done</c><00:14:58.480><c> something</c><00:14:58.860><c> wrong.</c>

00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:04.059
Believe<00:15:00.220><c> it</c><00:15:00.460><c> or</c><00:15:00.600><c> not,</c><00:15:01.100><c> we</c><00:15:01.259><c> can</c><00:15:01.600><c> elevate</c><00:15:02.139><c> God</c><00:15:02.679><c> when</c><00:15:03.679><c> we've</c><00:15:03.860><c> done</c>

00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:04.799
something<00:15:04.399><c> wrong.</c>

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:08.659
In<00:15:05.259><c> fact,</c><00:15:05.700><c> some</c><00:15:05.799><c> of</c><00:15:06.000><c> the</c><00:15:06.700><c> times</c><00:15:07.059><c> when</c><00:15:07.379><c> maybe</c><00:15:07.720><c> people</c><00:15:07.960><c> have</c><00:15:08.179><c> come</c><00:15:08.299><c> the</c>

00:15:08.659 --> 00:15:11.960

00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.659
state<00:15:12.100><c> of</c><00:15:12.399><c> serious</c><00:15:12.779><c> sin.</c>

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:17.340
We<00:15:14.720><c> really</c><00:15:15.139><c> can't</c><00:15:15.519><c> afford</c><00:15:15.820><c> the</c><00:15:16.100><c> time</c><00:15:16.279><c> to</c><00:15:16.460><c> go</c><00:15:16.700><c> back</c><00:15:16.940><c> to</c><00:15:17.159><c> Psalm</c>

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:20.679

00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.539
But<00:15:21.320><c> that's</c><00:15:21.659><c> probably</c><00:15:22.139><c> some</c><00:15:22.840><c> of</c><00:15:23.000><c> the</c><00:15:23.179><c> best</c><00:15:23.519><c> explanation</c><00:15:24.000><c> we're</c><00:15:24.200><c> going</c><00:15:24.360><c> to</c>

00:15:24.539 --> 00:15:25.460
have<00:15:24.659><c> it</c><00:15:24.980><c> in</c><00:15:25.019><c> the</c><00:15:25.259><c> Bible.</c>

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:28.340
Let<00:15:26.100><c> me</c><00:15:26.320><c> summarize</c><00:15:26.799><c> it</c><00:15:27.000><c> in</c><00:15:27.159><c> these</c><00:15:27.399><c> words.</c>

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.120
When<00:15:28.820><c> we</c><00:15:29.000><c> do</c><00:15:29.240><c> something</c><00:15:29.580><c> wrong,</c><00:15:30.059><c> our</c><00:15:30.120><c> first</c><00:15:30.419><c> reaction</c><00:15:30.820><c> is</c><00:15:31.000><c> I</c>

00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:32.759
want<00:15:31.279><c> to</c><00:15:31.419><c> be</c><00:15:31.620><c> forgiven.</c>

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.539
Nothing<00:15:34.200><c> wrong</c><00:15:34.519><c> with</c><00:15:34.740><c> that,</c><00:15:35.519><c> but</c><00:15:35.700><c> on</c><00:15:35.879><c> what</c><00:15:36.039><c> basis?</c>

00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:38.200
Why<00:15:37.120><c> do</c><00:15:37.320><c> I</c><00:15:37.399><c> want</c><00:15:37.539><c> to</c><00:15:37.679><c> be</c><00:15:37.879><c> forgiven?</c>

00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:42.679
So<00:15:38.720><c> that</c><00:15:38.960><c> I</c><00:15:39.120><c> can</c><00:15:39.320><c> be</c><00:15:39.500><c> in</c><00:15:39.600><c> the</c><00:15:39.779><c> kingdom,</c><00:15:40.120><c> so</c><00:15:40.320><c> that</c><00:15:40.639><c> I,</c><00:15:41.059><c> I,</c><00:15:41.460><c> I,</c><00:15:41.740><c> I.</c>

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:45.919
Or<00:15:43.320><c> is</c><00:15:43.600><c> it</c><00:15:43.759><c> that</c><00:15:43.919><c> when</c><00:15:44.139><c> we've</c><00:15:44.460><c> done</c><00:15:44.559><c> something</c><00:15:44.940><c> wrong</c><00:15:45.200><c> and</c><00:15:45.320><c> it's</c><00:15:45.620><c> come</c><00:15:45.720><c> to</c>

00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.200
our<00:15:46.179><c> attention,</c>

00:15:47.539 --> 00:15:54.000
we<00:15:47.820><c> are</c><00:15:48.139><c> so</c><00:15:48.419><c> distressed,</c><00:15:49.759><c> so</c><00:15:50.179><c> disturbed</c><00:15:50.980><c> and</c><00:15:52.320><c> so</c><00:15:52.740><c> concerned</c>

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:57.299
that<00:15:54.360><c> the</c><00:15:54.500><c> most</c><00:15:54.860><c> significant</c><00:15:55.539><c> thing</c><00:15:55.799><c> about</c><00:15:56.139><c> that</c><00:15:56.480><c> sin</c><00:15:56.639><c> was</c><00:15:56.919><c> that</c><00:15:57.100><c> we</c>

00:15:57.299 --> 00:15:59.179
marred<00:15:57.580><c> God's</c><00:15:58.059><c> glory.</c>

00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:02.539
Then<00:16:00.580><c> we're</c><00:16:00.720><c> looking</c><00:16:00.899><c> at</c><00:16:01.059><c> the</c><00:16:01.240><c> same</c><00:16:01.480><c> subject,</c><00:16:01.919><c> but</c><00:16:02.080><c> from</c><00:16:02.279><c> a</c>

00:16:02.539 --> 00:16:03.620
totally<00:16:02.860><c> different</c><00:16:03.220><c> direction.</c>

00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.059
It's<00:16:04.159><c> the</c><00:16:04.379><c> proverbial</c><00:16:04.899><c> 180</c><00:16:05.720><c> degree</c><00:16:06.179><c> swing.</c>

00:16:07.179 --> 00:16:09.519
We<00:16:07.419><c> are</c><00:16:07.700><c> looking</c><00:16:07.879><c> at</c><00:16:08.019><c> it</c><00:16:08.200><c> now</c><00:16:08.340><c> in</c><00:16:08.539><c> effect</c><00:16:08.720><c> through</c><00:16:09.000><c> God's</c><00:16:09.419><c> eyes.</c>

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:13.440
And<00:16:09.779><c> what</c><00:16:10.100><c> distresses</c><00:16:10.659><c> us</c><00:16:10.879><c> most</c><00:16:11.200><c> of</c><00:16:11.419><c> all</c><00:16:11.779><c> is</c><00:16:12.240><c> that</c><00:16:12.460><c> we've</c><00:16:12.860><c> marred</c><00:16:13.100><c> the</c>

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.879

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.860
So<00:16:15.340><c> what</c><00:16:15.539><c> do</c><00:16:15.679><c> we</c><00:16:15.820><c> do?</c>

00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.539
Well,<00:16:18.580><c> we</c><00:16:18.840><c> come</c><00:16:19.100><c> along</c><00:16:19.360><c> and</c><00:16:19.659><c> we</c><00:16:19.940><c> confess</c><00:16:20.279><c> that</c><00:16:20.620><c> sin.</c>

00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.220
Now,<00:16:22.700><c> confession</c><00:16:23.059><c> of</c><00:16:23.340><c> sin</c><00:16:23.460><c> can</c><00:16:23.740><c> be</c><00:16:23.879><c> just</c><00:16:24.100><c> a</c><00:16:24.259><c> little</c><00:16:24.460><c> bit</c><00:16:24.679><c> different</c><00:16:24.960><c> from</c>

00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.259
It<00:16:27.059><c> may</c><00:16:27.279><c> or</c><00:16:27.440><c> may</c><00:16:27.620><c> not</c><00:16:27.820><c> be,</c><00:16:27.960><c> depending</c><00:16:28.320><c> on</c><00:16:28.480><c> our</c><00:16:28.679><c> frame</c><00:16:28.860><c> of</c><00:16:29.080><c> mind.</c>

00:16:29.419 --> 00:16:31.279
So<00:16:29.580><c> I'm</c><00:16:29.820><c> going</c><00:16:29.940><c> to</c><00:16:30.100><c> say</c><00:16:30.360><c> there</c><00:16:30.700><c> is</c><00:16:30.919><c> a</c><00:16:31.080><c> difference.</c>

00:16:31.299 --> 00:16:33.259
I'm<00:16:31.539><c> going</c><00:16:31.679><c> to</c><00:16:31.799><c> take</c><00:16:32.000><c> that</c><00:16:32.259><c> particular</c><00:16:32.700><c> approach.</c>

00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:38.440
And<00:16:33.980><c> I'm</c><00:16:34.220><c> going</c><00:16:34.320><c> to</c><00:16:34.519><c> say</c><00:16:34.659><c> that</c><00:16:34.960><c> confession</c><00:16:35.480><c> of</c><00:16:35.779><c> sin</c><00:16:36.539><c> acknowledges</c><00:16:37.419><c> I</c><00:16:37.799><c> am</c><00:16:37.960><c> wrong</c>

Impossible.

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:52.119

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:57.779
And<00:19:53.079><c> so</c><00:19:53.299><c> his</c><00:19:53.480><c> belief,</c><00:19:54.380><c> his</c><00:19:54.720><c> faith</c><00:19:55.000><c> was</c><00:19:55.660><c> counted</c><00:19:56.079><c> unto</c><00:19:56.619><c> him</c><00:19:56.920><c> for</c><00:19:57.259><c> righteousness.</c>

00:20:00.579 --> 00:20:03.319
Then<00:20:00.819><c> Paul</c><00:20:01.079><c> turns</c><00:20:01.380><c> around</c><00:20:01.599><c> and</c><00:20:01.759><c> says,</c><00:20:01.920><c> now</c><00:20:02.079><c> take</c><00:20:02.339><c> David.</c>

00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.099
David<00:20:03.779><c> had</c><00:20:04.019><c> righteousness</c><00:20:04.559><c> imputed</c><00:20:05.019><c> unto</c><00:20:05.240><c> him</c><00:20:05.440><c> exactly</c><00:20:06.000><c> the</c><00:20:06.299><c> same,</c>

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:13.880

But<00:20:14.119><c> when</c><00:20:14.440><c> David</c><00:20:14.819><c> confessed</c><00:20:15.420><c> that</c><00:20:15.759><c> sin,</c><00:20:17.079><c> he</c><00:20:17.200><c> declared</c><00:20:17.640><c> God</c><00:20:17.960><c> right</c>

Well,<00:21:23.099><c> at</c><00:21:23.240><c> this</c><00:21:23.460><c> stage,</c><00:21:23.680><c> I've</c><00:21:23.880><c> just</c><00:21:24.119><c> got</c><00:21:24.240><c> to</c><00:21:24.380><c> resist</c><00:21:24.680><c> the</c><00:21:24.920><c> temptation</c><00:21:25.359><c> of</c>

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.160
But<00:21:26.980><c> when</c><00:21:27.180><c> we</c><00:21:27.420><c> turn</c><00:21:27.599><c> over</c><00:21:27.859><c> the</c><00:21:28.079><c> page,</c><00:21:28.359><c> well,</c><00:21:28.680><c> that's</c><00:21:28.920><c> in</c><00:21:29.079><c> the</c>

00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:32.559
when<00:21:30.599><c> we</c><00:21:30.819><c> turn</c><00:21:30.940><c> to</c><00:21:31.119><c> chapter</c><00:21:31.460><c> two,</c>

00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:34.960
we're<00:21:33.220><c> going</c><00:21:33.279><c> to</c><00:21:33.519><c> spend,</c><00:21:33.700><c> I</c><00:21:33.779><c> think</c><00:21:33.940><c> the</c><00:21:34.079><c> most</c><00:21:34.339><c> of</c><00:21:34.539><c> our</c><00:21:34.700><c> time</c>

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:35.460
this<00:21:35.220><c> morning,</c>

00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:37.420
just<00:21:35.980><c> looking</c><00:21:36.200><c> at</c><00:21:36.380><c> these</c><00:21:36.599><c> opening</c><00:21:36.920><c> verses.</c>

00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:39.880
Hence,<00:21:38.140><c> the</c><00:21:38.160><c> need</c><00:21:38.440><c> for</c><00:21:38.599><c> us</c><00:21:38.720><c> to</c><00:21:38.839><c> have</c><00:21:38.900><c> that</c><00:21:39.200><c> overall</c><00:21:39.539><c> summary</c>

00:21:40.579 --> 00:21:42.799
well,<00:21:41.000><c> there's</c><00:21:41.259><c> the</c><00:21:41.420><c> rest</c><00:21:41.559><c> of</c><00:21:41.779><c> the</c><00:21:41.940><c> story.</c>

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:46.660
But<00:21:43.819><c> these</c><00:21:44.160><c> opening</c><00:21:44.579><c> words</c><00:21:44.940><c> are</c><00:21:45.299><c> really</c><00:21:45.759><c> very</c><00:21:46.240><c> similar,</c>

very<00:21:47.400><c> similar</c><00:21:47.720><c> to</c><00:21:47.839><c> what</c><00:21:48.019><c> Paul</c><00:21:48.299><c> tells</c><00:21:48.619><c> us</c><00:21:49.039><c> in</c><00:21:49.279><c> Romans.</c>

00:21:50.140 --> 00:21:53.460
And<00:21:50.319><c> we'd</c><00:21:50.539><c> like</c><00:21:50.559><c> to</c><00:21:50.740><c> look</c><00:21:50.859><c> then</c><00:21:51.079><c> at</c><00:21:51.640><c> the</c><00:21:51.759><c> opening</c><00:21:52.200><c> verses</c><00:21:52.720><c> of</c>

00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:01.259
It<00:21:56.420><c> probably</c><00:21:56.839><c> won't</c><00:21:57.079><c> do</c><00:21:57.279><c> any</c><00:21:57.579><c> harm</c><00:21:57.920><c> to</c><00:21:59.740><c> put</c><00:21:59.980><c> up</c><00:22:00.180><c> this</c><00:22:00.420><c> particular</c><00:22:00.940><c> chart,</c>

00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:04.380
which<00:22:01.619><c> is</c><00:22:02.019><c> part</c><00:22:02.319><c> of</c><00:22:02.579><c> the</c><00:22:02.720><c> one</c><00:22:02.839><c> that</c><00:22:03.039><c> you've</c><00:22:03.339><c> got</c><00:22:03.519><c> there.</c>

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:08.119
We're<00:22:04.759><c> going</c><00:22:04.859><c> to</c><00:22:05.099><c> see</c><00:22:05.299><c> then</c><00:22:05.579><c> that</c><00:22:05.779><c> in</c><00:22:06.700><c> the</c><00:22:06.799><c> first</c><00:22:07.259><c> three</c><00:22:07.619><c> verses,</c>

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.660
this<00:22:08.720><c> is</c><00:22:08.900><c> how</c><00:22:09.039><c> we've</c><00:22:09.480><c> summarized</c><00:22:09.880><c> the</c><00:22:10.079><c> first</c><00:22:10.299><c> three</c><00:22:10.579><c> verses.</c>

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:15.480
John<00:22:12.359><c> says,</c><00:22:12.960><c> I</c><00:22:12.960><c> write</c><00:22:13.299><c> unto</c><00:22:13.559><c> you</c><00:22:13.960><c> for</c><00:22:14.160><c> three</c><00:22:14.460><c> reasons.</c>

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:19.000
One,<00:22:17.500><c> that</c><00:22:17.660><c> you</c><00:22:17.900><c> sin</c><00:22:18.079><c> not.</c>

00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.900
I<00:22:19.039><c> mean,</c><00:22:19.660><c> desirably,</c><00:22:20.339><c> we</c><00:22:20.519><c> don't</c><00:22:20.759><c> want</c><00:22:20.960><c> to</c><00:22:21.160><c> sin.</c>

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.539
He<00:22:22.319><c> just</c><00:22:22.680><c> told</c><00:22:22.920><c> them</c><00:22:23.140><c> two</c><00:22:23.359><c> verses</c><00:22:23.680><c> earlier,</c><00:22:24.299><c> this</c><00:22:24.539><c> is</c><00:22:24.759><c> what</c><00:22:24.960><c> you</c><00:22:25.220><c> do</c>

00:22:25.539 --> 00:22:26.359
when<00:22:25.819><c> you</c><00:22:26.079><c> sin.</c>

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.140
But<00:22:26.940><c> he</c><00:22:27.019><c> wants</c><00:22:27.220><c> to</c><00:22:27.420><c> make</c><00:22:27.519><c> it</c><00:22:27.700><c> very</c><00:22:28.000><c> clear</c><00:22:28.200><c> that</c><00:22:28.440><c> ideally</c><00:22:28.779><c> we</c><00:22:29.079><c> prefer</c><00:22:29.420><c> not</c><00:22:29.680><c> to</c><00:22:29.940><c> sin.</c>

00:22:30.539 --> 00:22:32.779
So<00:22:30.740><c> he</c><00:22:30.859><c> says,</c><00:22:30.960><c> I'm</c><00:22:31.220><c> writing</c><00:22:31.559><c> unto</c><00:22:31.859><c> you</c><00:22:32.079><c> so</c><00:22:32.299><c> that,</c>

00:22:32.779 --> 00:22:35.180
preferably,<00:22:33.680><c> you</c><00:22:33.859><c> won't</c><00:22:34.180><c> sin.</c>

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.579
Let's<00:22:36.259><c> get</c><00:22:36.380><c> the</c><00:22:36.599><c> top</c><00:22:36.779><c> part</c><00:22:36.960><c> of</c><00:22:37.039><c> it</c><00:22:37.180><c> at</c><00:22:37.259><c> least</c><00:22:37.460><c> in</c><00:22:37.720><c> focus.</c>

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:42.339
That's<00:22:39.500><c> about</c><00:22:39.779><c> it,</c><00:22:41.180><c> I</c><00:22:41.539><c> think.</c>

00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:44.779
So<00:22:43.420><c> you've</c><00:22:43.759><c> got</c><00:22:43.819><c> that</c><00:22:44.000><c> on</c><00:22:44.140><c> a</c><00:22:44.200><c> bit</c><00:22:44.299><c> of</c><00:22:44.440><c> paper</c><00:22:44.660><c> there.</c>

00:22:44.819 --> 00:22:48.519
Can<00:22:44.940><c> you</c><00:22:45.119><c> actually</c><00:22:45.359><c> read</c><00:22:45.519><c> that</c><00:22:45.720><c> as</c><00:22:45.839><c> it's</c><00:22:47.019><c> fairly</c><00:22:47.299><c> small,</c><00:22:47.700><c> isn't</c><00:22:47.880><c> it?</c>

00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.339
All<00:22:48.880><c> right.</c>

00:22:49.619 --> 00:22:54.180
So<00:22:49.940><c> it's,</c><00:22:52.420><c> where</c><00:22:52.740><c> actually</c><00:22:53.160><c> is</c><00:22:53.359><c> it?</c>

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:02.539
It's,

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:04.519
There<00:23:03.299><c> it</c><00:23:04.420><c> is.</c>

00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:06.220
So<00:23:04.960><c> what</c><00:23:05.160><c> you're</c><00:23:05.359><c> looking</c><00:23:05.619><c> at</c><00:23:05.880><c> now,</c>

00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:08.859
this<00:23:06.720><c> is</c><00:23:06.940><c> very</c><00:23:07.180><c> good</c><00:23:07.299><c> for</c><00:23:07.500><c> the</c><00:23:07.680><c> tapes,</c><00:23:08.079><c> they</c><00:23:08.259><c> love</c><00:23:08.460><c> these</c><00:23:08.720><c> sort</c>

00:23:08.859 --> 00:23:09.779
of<00:23:08.980><c> things.</c>

00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:12.579
What<00:23:10.059><c> you're</c><00:23:10.279><c> looking</c><00:23:10.500><c> at</c><00:23:10.759><c> now</c><00:23:11.160><c> is</c><00:23:11.720><c> that.</c>

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.460
And<00:23:13.079><c> the</c><00:23:13.220><c> people</c><00:23:13.420><c> in</c><00:23:13.559><c> the</c><00:23:13.700><c> back</c><00:23:13.900><c> row</c><00:23:14.119><c> say,</c>

00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:17.200
I<00:23:15.140><c> think</c><00:23:15.319><c> I</c><00:23:15.440><c> listened</c><00:23:15.619><c> to</c><00:23:15.799><c> the</c><00:23:15.980><c> tape</c><00:23:16.140><c> and</c><00:23:16.299><c> it</c><00:23:16.440><c> might</c><00:23:16.519><c> even</c><00:23:16.720><c> be</c><00:23:16.940><c> easier.</c>

00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:22.019
So<00:23:18.000><c> the</c><00:23:18.779><c> bit</c><00:23:19.039><c> that</c><00:23:19.279><c> you're</c><00:23:19.460><c> looking</c><00:23:19.799><c> at</c><00:23:20.140><c> is</c><00:23:20.400><c> that</c><00:23:20.720><c> bit</c><00:23:20.960><c> in</c><00:23:21.299><c> there.</c>

00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:24.900
All<00:23:22.440><c> right,</c><00:23:22.640><c> so</c><00:23:22.859><c> that's</c><00:23:23.519><c> that</c><00:23:23.619><c> little</c><00:23:23.859><c> bit</c><00:23:24.019><c> in</c><00:23:24.220><c> there.</c>

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.920
I'm<00:23:25.599><c> writing</c><00:23:25.880><c> unto</c><00:23:26.180><c> you,</c><00:23:27.160><c> one,</c><00:23:27.480><c> that</c><00:23:27.680><c> you</c><00:23:27.900><c> sin</c><00:23:28.079><c> not.</c>

00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:31.839
But<00:23:29.640><c> if</c><00:23:29.839><c> you</c><00:23:30.059><c> do</c><00:23:30.339><c> sin,</c><00:23:31.140><c> that</c><00:23:31.220><c> if</c><00:23:31.400><c> any</c><00:23:31.640><c> sin,</c>

00:23:31.859 --> 00:23:34.519

Jesus<00:23:35.259><c> Christ</c><00:23:35.579><c> the</c><00:23:35.759><c> righteous.</c>

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:39.279
And<00:23:37.380><c> the</c><00:23:37.619><c> other</c><00:23:37.779><c> reason</c><00:23:38.079><c> I'm</c><00:23:38.259><c> writing</c><00:23:38.559><c> unto</c><00:23:38.819><c> you</c>

00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.460

00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:23.720

00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:27.539

Okay,<00:34:44.179><c> who's</c><00:34:44.480><c> our</c><00:34:44.619><c> mother?</c>

Oh,<00:34:46.480><c> well,</c><00:34:46.599><c> you</c><00:34:46.699><c> know</c><00:34:46.800><c> the</c><00:34:46.980><c> answer.</c>

So<00:34:47.400><c> whether</c><00:34:47.639><c> I</c><00:34:47.900><c> said</c><00:34:48.019><c> it</c><00:34:48.159><c> or</c><00:34:48.219><c> whether</c><00:34:48.400><c> I</c><00:34:48.579><c> didn't</c><00:34:48.760><c> say</c><00:34:48.920><c> it</c>

00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:53.880

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:58.539
As<00:34:55.659><c> Psalm</c><00:34:55.940><c> 87</c><00:34:56.519><c> says,</c><00:34:56.880><c> it</c><00:34:56.880><c> will</c><00:34:57.099><c> be</c><00:34:57.219><c> said</c><00:34:57.340><c> of</c><00:34:57.480><c> this</c><00:34:57.739><c> man,</c>

00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:03.239
So<00:35:01.659><c> God</c><00:35:01.900><c> is</c><00:35:02.119><c> the</c><00:35:02.300><c> father.</c>

So<00:37:40.960><c> it</c><00:37:41.079><c> must</c><00:37:41.159><c> have</c><00:37:41.320><c> been</c><00:37:41.440><c> Brother</c><00:37:41.699><c> Harry</c><00:37:42.039><c> that</c><00:37:42.360><c> said</c><00:37:42.500><c> this.</c>

00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.159
That<00:37:43.659><c> when</c><00:37:43.960><c> people</c><00:37:44.280><c> were</c><00:37:44.579><c> inspired,</c><00:37:45.199><c> God</c><00:37:45.440><c> didn't</c><00:37:45.739><c> just</c><00:37:46.019><c> sort</c>

00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:46.780
of<00:37:46.380><c> take</c><00:37:46.579><c> them</c>

00:37:46.780 --> 00:37:50.559
and<00:37:47.420><c> pour</c><00:37:47.760><c> something</c><00:37:48.139><c> in</c><00:37:48.360><c> and</c><00:37:48.599><c> sort</c><00:37:48.800><c> of</c><00:37:49.019><c> make</c><00:37:49.179><c> them</c><00:37:49.380><c> a</c><00:37:49.619><c> robot.</c>

00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:54.420
What<00:37:51.380><c> the</c><00:37:51.679><c> spirit</c><00:37:51.940><c> did,</c><00:37:52.619><c> and</c><00:37:52.760><c> I</c><00:37:52.880><c> think</c><00:37:53.000><c> this</c><00:37:53.199><c> is</c><00:37:53.340><c> how</c><00:37:53.519><c> John</c><00:37:53.719><c> explains</c><00:37:54.179><c> it</c>

00:37:54.420 --> 00:37:56.360
so<00:37:54.639><c> well</c><00:37:55.199><c> in</c><00:37:55.420><c> the</c><00:37:55.539><c> words</c><00:37:55.699><c> of</c><00:37:55.920><c> Jesus.</c>

00:37:56.780 --> 00:37:59.320
It<00:37:56.960><c> says</c><00:37:57.059><c> when</c><00:37:57.300><c> you</c><00:37:57.539><c> get</c><00:37:57.679><c> that</c><00:37:57.940><c> spirit</c><00:37:58.219><c> of</c><00:37:58.480><c> truth,</c>

00:37:59.420 --> 00:38:02.579
it's<00:37:59.920><c> going</c><00:38:00.019><c> to</c><00:38:00.260><c> bring</c><00:38:00.400><c> all</c><00:38:00.900><c> things</c><00:38:01.139><c> to</c><00:38:01.340><c> your</c><00:38:01.599><c> remembrance.</c>

00:38:02.980 --> 00:38:05.099
Things<00:38:03.280><c> that</c><00:38:03.460><c> they</c><00:38:03.760><c> had</c><00:38:04.039><c> heard,</c>

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:08.480

00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:10.239

00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:13.719
Perhaps<00:38:10.519><c> right</c><00:38:10.739><c> back</c><00:38:11.019><c> in</c><00:38:11.199><c> what</c><00:38:11.480><c> some</c><00:38:11.699><c> might</c><00:38:11.860><c> call</c><00:38:12.019><c> the</c><00:38:12.360><c> unconscious</c><00:38:12.800><c> mind.</c>

00:38:14.059 --> 00:38:16.340
The<00:38:14.360><c> spirit</c><00:38:14.619><c> of</c><00:38:14.860><c> truth</c><00:38:14.980><c> was</c><00:38:15.159><c> able</c><00:38:15.320><c> to</c><00:38:15.559><c> bring</c><00:38:15.659><c> it</c><00:38:15.980><c> forward.</c>

00:38:16.780 --> 00:38:20.820
And<00:38:17.239><c> of</c><00:38:17.400><c> course,</c><00:38:17.880><c> that</c><00:38:17.900><c> spirit</c><00:38:18.239><c> enabled</c><00:38:19.059><c> them</c><00:38:19.420><c> to</c><00:38:20.059><c> do</c><00:38:20.300><c> and</c><00:38:20.559><c> say</c>

00:38:20.820 --> 00:38:22.239
certain<00:38:21.179><c> things.</c>

00:38:22.260 --> 00:38:23.840
And<00:38:22.440><c> I</c><00:38:22.659><c> guess</c><00:38:22.880><c> in</c><00:38:23.059><c> its</c><00:38:23.260><c> simple</c><00:38:23.559><c> way,</c>

00:38:23.860 --> 00:38:26.599
that's<00:38:24.099><c> what</c><00:38:24.300><c> it</c><00:38:24.539><c> means</c><00:38:24.699><c> when</c><00:38:24.880><c> we</c><00:38:25.039><c> say</c><00:38:25.159><c> they</c><00:38:25.340><c> were</c><00:38:25.559><c> inspired.</c>

00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:30.119
Inspired<00:38:27.679><c> simply</c><00:38:28.039><c> means</c><00:38:28.480><c> that</c><00:38:29.099><c> the</c><00:38:29.420><c> power</c><00:38:29.579><c> of</c><00:38:29.780><c> the</c><00:38:29.920><c> spirit</c>

00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:31.639
brought<00:38:30.539><c> these</c><00:38:30.840><c> things</c><00:38:31.019><c> to</c><00:38:31.199><c> their</c><00:38:31.400><c> remembrance</c>

00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:34.699
and<00:38:31.920><c> they</c><00:38:32.300><c> saw</c><00:38:32.559><c> them</c><00:38:32.940><c> in</c><00:38:33.179><c> their</c><00:38:33.420><c> proper</c><00:38:33.639><c> context.</c>

00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:37.099
Now,<00:38:36.000><c> in</c><00:38:36.099><c> Romans</c><00:38:36.440><c> chapter</c><00:38:36.860><c> 8,</c>

00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:40.539

00:38:41.099 --> 00:38:43.099
can<00:38:41.579><c> mean</c><00:38:41.739><c> that</c><00:38:41.920><c> when</c><00:38:42.079><c> we</c><00:38:42.239><c> are</c><00:38:42.500><c> praying</c><00:38:42.699><c> to</c><00:38:42.920><c> God,</c>

00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:47.780

00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:50.420
John<00:38:48.480><c> says,</c><00:38:48.960><c> I'm</c><00:38:49.159><c> sorry,</c><00:38:49.380><c> Paul</c><00:38:49.699><c> says</c><00:38:50.059><c> that</c>

00:38:50.420 --> 00:38:53.059
there<00:38:50.679><c> are</c><00:38:50.900><c> times</c><00:38:51.139><c> when</c><00:38:51.340><c> we</c><00:38:51.639><c> pray</c><00:38:51.800><c> to</c><00:38:51.980><c> the</c><00:38:52.199><c> Father</c>

00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.519
and<00:38:53.840><c> words</c><00:38:54.239><c> just</c><00:38:54.619><c> don't</c><00:38:55.019><c> seem</c><00:38:55.400><c> to</c><00:38:55.639><c> be</c><00:38:56.199><c> able</c><00:38:56.420><c> to</c><00:38:56.659><c> come.</c>

00:38:57.619 --> 00:39:01.980
And<00:38:57.820><c> he</c><00:38:57.940><c> says</c><00:38:58.079><c> there</c><00:38:58.360><c> are</c><00:38:58.760><c> groanings</c><00:38:59.900><c> that</c><00:39:00.559><c> cannot</c><00:39:00.800><c> be</c><00:39:01.099><c> uttered.</c>

00:39:02.139 --> 00:39:04.079
It's<00:39:02.559><c> like</c><00:39:02.739><c> as</c><00:39:02.880><c> though</c><00:39:03.000><c> we</c><00:39:03.119><c> say,</c><00:39:03.719><c> look,</c>

00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:06.900
Father,<00:39:04.340><c> you</c><00:39:04.539><c> know</c><00:39:04.699><c> what</c><00:39:04.860><c> I</c><00:39:04.960><c> want</c><00:39:05.059><c> to</c><00:39:05.219><c> say,</c><00:39:05.320><c> but</c><00:39:05.460><c> I</c><00:39:05.639><c> can't</c><00:39:06.019><c> say</c><00:39:06.280><c> it.</c>

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:08.579
But<00:39:07.239><c> you</c><00:39:07.480><c> know</c><00:39:07.760><c> my</c><00:39:08.139><c> mind.</c>

00:39:09.059 --> 00:39:11.739
You<00:39:09.460><c> know</c><00:39:09.820><c> my</c><00:39:10.460><c> disposition.</c>

00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:19.559
You<00:39:18.760><c> know</c><00:39:18.980><c> my</c><00:39:19.280><c> thinking.</c>

00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.500
Now,<00:39:20.119><c> that</c><00:39:20.480><c> spirit</c><00:39:20.860><c> must</c><00:39:21.199><c> come</c><00:39:21.500><c> from</c><00:39:21.699><c> an</c><00:39:21.940><c> understanding</c><00:39:22.320><c> of</c>

the<00:39:22.639><c> word.</c>

And<00:39:23.539><c> Paul</c><00:39:23.760><c> can</c><00:39:24.019><c> tell</c><00:39:24.179><c> us</c><00:39:24.380><c> that</c><00:39:24.519><c> in</c><00:39:24.760><c> that</c><00:39:25.099><c> sense,</c>

00:39:25.980 --> 00:39:29.800
God<00:39:26.300><c> sees</c><00:39:26.719><c> that</c><00:39:27.039><c> as</c><00:39:27.579><c> an</c><00:39:28.000><c> advocate</c><00:39:28.500><c> in</c><00:39:28.800><c> a</c><00:39:28.940><c> sense.</c>

that<00:39:49.420><c> has</c><00:39:49.699><c> come</c><00:39:49.940><c> from</c><00:39:50.199><c> the</c><00:39:50.460><c> word</c><00:39:50.900><c> and</c><00:39:51.619><c> it's</c><00:39:51.820><c> called</c><00:39:52.039><c> spirit</c>

00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:54.760
because<00:39:53.320><c> it's</c><00:39:53.639><c> come</c><00:39:53.800><c> from</c><00:39:53.980><c> the</c><00:39:54.219><c> spirit</c><00:39:54.519><c> word.</c>

00:39:55.099 --> 00:39:57.440
It's<00:39:55.320><c> a</c><00:39:55.460><c> new</c><00:39:55.599><c> mode</c><00:39:55.780><c> of</c><00:39:56.019><c> thinking</c><00:39:56.179><c> in</c><00:39:56.340><c> which</c><00:39:56.519><c> we</c><00:39:56.900><c> know</c>

00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:59.820
that<00:39:57.800><c> we</c><00:39:58.000><c> are</c><00:39:58.159><c> now</c><00:39:58.619><c> starting</c><00:39:58.980><c> to</c><00:39:59.219><c> think</c><00:39:59.340><c> like</c><00:39:59.559><c> God</c>

00:39:59.820 --> 00:40:02.739
and<00:40:00.159><c> that</c><00:40:00.340><c> God</c><00:40:00.579><c> knows</c><00:40:00.900><c> us</c><00:40:01.159><c> and</c><00:40:01.280><c> we</c><00:40:01.480><c> know</c><00:40:01.679><c> him.</c>

00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:06.480
And<00:40:04.039><c> that's</c><00:40:04.219><c> why</c><00:40:04.400><c> he's</c><00:40:04.639><c> now</c><00:40:04.900><c> going</c><00:40:05.079><c> to</c><00:40:05.360><c> speak</c><00:40:05.539><c> about</c><00:40:05.900><c> this</c><00:40:06.199><c> business</c>

00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.239
of<00:40:06.739><c> coming</c><00:40:07.019><c> to</c><00:40:07.659><c> to</c><00:40:07.900><c> know</c><00:40:08.159><c> God.</c>

00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:12.780
So<00:40:10.159><c> he</c><00:40:10.440><c> says</c><00:40:10.760><c> then,</c><00:40:11.280><c> if</c><00:40:11.280><c> we</c><00:40:11.500><c> do</c><00:40:11.780><c> have</c><00:40:12.019><c> a</c><00:40:12.579><c> sin,</c>

00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:14.960
we<00:40:13.380><c> have</c><00:40:13.559><c> an</c><00:40:13.860><c> advocate</c><00:40:14.159><c> with</c><00:40:14.460><c> the</c><00:40:14.679><c> Father.</c>

00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:17.539
I'd<00:40:15.500><c> like</c><00:40:15.639><c> you</c><00:40:15.760><c> to</c><00:40:15.960><c> think</c><00:40:16.099><c> this</c><00:40:16.340><c> one</c><00:40:16.539><c> through</c><00:40:16.760><c> because</c>

00:40:18.179 --> 00:40:19.320
sometimes<00:40:18.699><c> people</c><00:40:19.079><c> say,</c>

00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:21.559
I'm<00:40:19.599><c> not</c><00:40:19.860><c> quite</c><00:40:20.119><c> sure</c><00:40:20.260><c> that</c><00:40:20.420><c> I</c><00:40:20.519><c> can</c><00:40:20.699><c> agree</c><00:40:20.960><c> with</c><00:40:21.179><c> that</c><00:40:21.280><c> or</c><00:40:21.420><c> I</c>

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:22.420
can't<00:40:21.920><c> grasp</c><00:40:22.179><c> it.</c>

00:40:22.699 --> 00:40:24.639
So<00:40:22.860><c> it</c><00:40:23.099><c> might</c><00:40:23.300><c> take</c><00:40:23.500><c> a</c><00:40:23.599><c> bit</c><00:40:23.699><c> of</c><00:40:23.900><c> thinking.</c>

00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:27.320
This<00:40:24.960><c> advocate</c><00:40:25.559><c> in</c><00:40:26.340><c> the</c><00:40:26.579><c> first</c><00:40:26.900><c> instance,</c>

00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:29.440
in<00:40:27.599><c> fact,</c><00:40:27.760><c> I'll</c><00:40:27.880><c> read</c><00:40:27.980><c> my</c><00:40:28.219><c> marginal</c><00:40:28.579><c> note.</c>

00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:31.820
There<00:40:30.039><c> are</c><00:40:30.380><c> two</c><00:40:30.800><c> advocates,</c>

00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:34.880
an<00:40:32.300><c> earthly</c><00:40:32.639><c> advocate,</c><00:40:33.320><c> namely</c><00:40:33.639><c> the</c><00:40:33.940><c> spirit</c><00:40:34.219><c> of</c><00:40:34.559><c> truth,</c>

00:40:34.980 --> 00:40:36.420
John<00:40:35.300><c> 14,</c>

00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:38.179
a<00:40:37.119><c> heavenly</c><00:40:37.440><c> advocate,</c>

00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:40.440
namely<00:40:38.960><c> Jesus</c><00:40:39.579><c> Christ.</c>

00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:45.280
Both<00:40:41.260><c> advocates</c><00:40:42.039><c> are</c><00:40:42.900><c> instrumental</c><00:40:43.599><c> in</c><00:40:44.340><c> assisting</c><00:40:44.780><c> us</c>

00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:48.199
in<00:40:45.679><c> our</c><00:40:46.019><c> approach</c><00:40:46.380><c> to</c><00:40:46.679><c> prayer</c><00:40:46.900><c> to</c><00:40:47.079><c> the</c><00:40:47.260><c> Father.</c>

00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:52.539
In<00:40:49.059><c> the</c><00:40:49.280><c> case</c><00:40:49.519><c> of</c><00:40:49.719><c> Romans</c><00:40:50.039><c> chapter</c><00:40:50.460><c> 8</c><00:40:50.840><c> verse</c><00:40:51.159><c> 26,</c>

00:40:53.059 --> 00:40:54.880
it's<00:40:53.280><c> the</c><00:40:54.019><c> earthly</c><00:40:54.340><c> advocate</c>

00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:58.179
and<00:40:55.539><c> in</c><00:40:55.739><c> the</c><00:40:55.800><c> case</c><00:40:56.039><c> of</c><00:40:56.239><c> Romans</c><00:40:56.559><c> chapter</c><00:40:56.900><c> 8</c><00:40:57.159><c> and</c><00:40:57.360><c> verse</c><00:40:57.599><c> 34,</c>

00:40:58.659 --> 00:40:59.639
the<00:40:58.800><c> heavenly</c><00:40:59.199><c> advocate.</c>

00:41:00.139 --> 00:41:02.639
It's<00:41:00.599><c> those</c><00:41:00.840><c> two</c><00:41:01.059><c> verses</c><00:41:01.380><c> that</c><00:41:01.619><c> some</c><00:41:01.860><c> of</c><00:41:02.019><c> you</c><00:41:02.119><c> might</c><00:41:02.380><c> say,</c>

00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:05.000
I<00:41:02.820><c> think</c><00:41:03.039><c> I</c><00:41:03.219><c> have</c><00:41:03.340><c> a</c><00:41:03.539><c> different</c><00:41:03.780><c> interpretation</c><00:41:04.480><c> on</c><00:41:04.699><c> that,</c>

00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:06.519
but<00:41:05.280><c> you</c><00:41:05.420><c> might</c><00:41:05.639><c> like</c><00:41:05.820><c> to</c><00:41:05.980><c> think</c><00:41:06.139><c> about</c><00:41:06.380><c> it.</c>

00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:08.179
I<00:41:06.940><c> think</c><00:41:07.079><c> the</c><00:41:07.280><c> principle</c><00:41:07.659><c> is</c><00:41:07.900><c> true,</c>

00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:11.360
even<00:41:08.559><c> if</c><00:41:08.659><c> you</c><00:41:08.739><c> don't</c><00:41:08.940><c> see</c><00:41:09.099><c> those</c><00:41:09.380><c> two</c><00:41:09.659><c> verses</c><00:41:10.400><c> saying</c><00:41:11.139><c> that,</c>

00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:13.480
but<00:41:11.519><c> I'm</c><00:41:11.760><c> suggesting</c><00:41:12.139><c> they</c><00:41:12.440><c> do.</c>

00:41:14.099 --> 00:41:16.480
So<00:41:14.300><c> what</c><00:41:14.579><c> this</c><00:41:14.860><c> really</c><00:41:15.199><c> means</c><00:41:15.480><c> is</c><00:41:15.659><c> that</c><00:41:15.860><c> whilst</c><00:41:16.079><c> it</c><00:41:16.320><c> sounds</c>

00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:18.119
very<00:41:16.800><c> deep</c><00:41:17.000><c> and</c><00:41:17.260><c> profound</c>

00:41:18.300 --> 00:41:20.119
and<00:41:18.820><c> John</c><00:41:19.059><c> does</c><00:41:19.360><c> sound</c><00:41:19.599><c> that</c><00:41:19.880><c> way,</c>

00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:22.460
it's<00:41:20.679><c> really</c><00:41:21.039><c> very</c><00:41:21.400><c> simple.</c>

00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:24.900
It's<00:41:23.119><c> all</c><00:41:23.320><c> a</c><00:41:23.460><c> matter</c><00:41:23.599><c> of</c><00:41:23.800><c> the</c><00:41:24.019><c> light</c><00:41:24.239><c> going</c><00:41:24.559><c> in.</c>

00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:28.280
If<00:41:25.360><c> the</c><00:41:25.619><c> right</c><00:41:25.900><c> sort</c><00:41:26.099><c> of</c><00:41:26.320><c> thinking</c><00:41:26.500><c> is</c><00:41:26.679><c> going</c><00:41:26.840><c> into</c><00:41:27.099><c> the</c><00:41:27.360><c> brain,</c>

00:41:28.460 --> 00:41:31.119
it's<00:41:28.820><c> causing</c><00:41:29.079><c> us</c><00:41:29.360><c> to</c><00:41:29.619><c> think</c><00:41:30.420><c> spiritually,</c>

00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:33.260
even<00:41:31.860><c> if</c><00:41:32.059><c> only</c><00:41:32.239><c> in</c><00:41:32.440><c> measure.</c>

00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:35.119
And<00:41:33.559><c> when</c><00:41:33.699><c> we</c><00:41:33.860><c> are</c><00:41:34.019><c> starting</c><00:41:34.280><c> to</c><00:41:34.519><c> think</c><00:41:34.659><c> spiritually,</c>

00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:37.320
we're<00:41:35.360><c> starting</c><00:41:35.739><c> to</c><00:41:36.000><c> think</c><00:41:36.119><c> like</c><00:41:36.360><c> God.</c>

00:41:37.659 --> 00:41:39.179
The<00:41:37.739><c> more</c><00:41:38.059><c> we</c><00:41:38.320><c> study</c><00:41:38.599><c> our</c><00:41:38.880><c> Bibles,</c>

00:41:39.260 --> 00:41:41.639
the<00:41:39.460><c> worse</c><00:41:39.699><c> we</c><00:41:39.920><c> see</c><00:41:40.199><c> ourselves</c><00:41:40.599><c> to</c><00:41:40.860><c> be.</c>

00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:43.619
Therefore,<00:41:42.139><c> the</c><00:41:42.380><c> more</c><00:41:42.579><c> we're</c><00:41:42.820><c> going</c><00:41:42.920><c> to</c><00:41:43.079><c> come</c><00:41:43.239><c> to</c><00:41:43.380><c> God</c>

00:41:43.619 --> 00:41:45.239
and<00:41:43.820><c> confess</c><00:41:44.159><c> and</c><00:41:44.400><c> confess</c><00:41:44.699><c> and</c><00:41:44.980><c> confess</c>

00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:46.460
and<00:41:45.599><c> end</c><00:41:45.820><c> up</c><00:41:45.960><c> like</c><00:41:46.199><c> Paul,</c>

00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:47.840
a<00:41:46.800><c> wretched</c><00:41:47.079><c> man</c><00:41:47.340><c> that</c><00:41:47.539><c> I</c><00:41:47.699><c> am,</c>

00:41:48.019 --> 00:41:49.840
but<00:41:48.179><c> he</c><00:41:48.380><c> can</c><00:41:48.619><c> say</c><00:41:48.840><c> so</c><00:41:49.139><c> then</c><00:41:49.260><c> with</c><00:41:49.440><c> the</c><00:41:49.619><c> mind,</c>

00:41:49.860 --> 00:41:52.059
I<00:41:50.079><c> myself</c><00:41:50.440><c> serve</c><00:41:50.699><c> the</c><00:41:50.840><c> law</c><00:41:50.980><c> of</c><00:41:51.219><c> God.</c>

00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.000
And<00:41:53.019><c> God</c><00:41:53.260><c> is</c><00:41:53.500><c> able</c><00:41:53.659><c> to</c><00:41:54.039><c> accept</c><00:41:54.280><c> us</c>

00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:58.800

00:42:23.099 --> 00:42:25.559
I<00:42:23.539><c> spoke</c><00:42:23.840><c> on</c><00:42:24.400><c> John</c><00:42:24.699><c> once</c><00:42:25.079><c> somewhere,</c>

00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.099
Gospel<00:42:26.119><c> of</c><00:42:26.300><c> John</c><00:42:26.579><c> back</c><00:42:26.960><c> in</c><00:42:27.159><c> Australia</c>

00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:29.000

00:42:29.019 --> 00:42:31.559
they<00:42:29.179><c> said</c><00:42:29.340><c> John</c><00:42:29.619><c> Knowles</c><00:42:29.840><c> has</c><00:42:30.059><c> gone</c><00:42:30.139><c> all</c><00:42:30.440><c> charismatic.</c>

00:42:33.380 --> 00:42:36.340
And<00:42:33.900><c> so</c><00:42:34.420><c> I</c><00:42:34.619><c> try</c><00:42:34.739><c> to</c><00:42:34.880><c> be</c><00:42:34.960><c> a</c><00:42:35.039><c> little</c><00:42:35.179><c> bit</c><00:42:35.400><c> careful.</c>

00:42:36.619 --> 00:42:37.900
But<00:42:36.800><c> you</c><00:42:37.000><c> know,</c>

00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:39.820

00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:43.519
No,<00:42:41.099><c> not</c><00:42:41.420><c> the</c><00:42:41.760><c> experience</c><00:42:42.159><c> of</c><00:42:42.360><c> the</c><00:42:42.519><c> Pentecostal.</c>

00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:45.639
But<00:42:44.039><c> when</c><00:42:44.179><c> we</c><00:42:44.380><c> come</c><00:42:44.579><c> down</c><00:42:44.840><c> now</c><00:42:45.039><c> to</c><00:42:45.219><c> this,</c>

00:42:57.039 --> 00:42:59.480
Now,<00:42:57.239><c> here's</c><00:42:57.699><c> one</c><00:42:57.900><c> of</c><00:42:58.019><c> the</c><00:42:58.199><c> exercises</c><00:42:58.659><c> you've</c><00:42:58.940><c> got</c><00:42:59.000><c> to</c><00:42:59.159><c> do.</c>

00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:09.980
It's<00:45:08.340><c> got</c><00:45:08.420><c> to</c><00:45:08.539><c> be</c><00:45:08.659><c> a</c><00:45:08.980><c> feeling</c>

Now,<00:45:13.079><c> I</c><00:45:13.239><c> hope</c><00:45:13.679><c> you're</c><00:45:14.199><c> not</c><00:45:14.420><c> thinking</c><00:45:14.699><c> that</c>

00:45:17.139 --> 00:45:19.380
But<00:45:17.320><c> if</c><00:45:17.579><c> Christodolphians</c><00:45:18.139><c> have</c><00:45:18.340><c> a</c><00:45:18.659><c> problem,</c>

00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:21.460
it<00:45:19.800><c> could</c><00:45:20.119><c> be</c><00:45:20.360><c> that</c><00:45:20.480><c> we're</c><00:45:20.699><c> just</c><00:45:20.960><c> that</c>

00:45:21.460 --> 00:45:23.139

00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:26.139
Oh,<00:45:23.639><c> don't</c><00:45:24.139><c> let</c><00:45:24.340><c> me</c><00:45:24.760><c> say</c><00:45:25.019><c> that</c><00:45:25.179><c> we</c><00:45:25.340><c> shouldn't</c><00:45:25.519><c> be</c><00:45:25.800><c> academic.</c>

00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:36.019
Because<00:45:35.139><c> that</c><00:45:35.440><c> sort</c><00:45:35.599><c> of</c><00:45:35.820><c> love</c>

00:45:36.019 --> 00:45:38.360

00:45:38.659 --> 00:45:40.780
That<00:45:38.840><c> love</c><00:45:39.079><c> has</c><00:45:39.460><c> to</c><00:45:39.659><c> stem</c><00:45:39.860><c> from</c><00:45:40.440><c> light.</c>

00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:44.420
I<00:45:43.179><c> don't</c><00:45:43.260><c> know</c><00:45:43.380><c> why</c><00:45:43.579><c> I</c><00:45:43.599><c> point</c><00:45:43.719><c> in</c><00:45:43.880><c> those</c><00:45:44.019><c> directions,</c>

00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:46.460
but<00:45:44.639><c> you</c><00:45:44.760><c> know,</c><00:45:44.960><c> I</c><00:45:45.000><c> guess</c><00:45:45.400><c> light</c><00:45:45.739><c> is</c><00:45:45.940><c> up</c><00:45:46.179><c> here.</c>

00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:48.820
Love's<00:45:47.280><c> supposed</c><00:45:47.480><c> to</c><00:45:47.639><c> be</c><00:45:47.719><c> the</c><00:45:47.960><c> heart.</c>

00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:50.639
And<00:45:49.079><c> living,</c><00:45:49.460><c> I</c><00:45:49.599><c> suppose,</c><00:45:49.960><c> is</c><00:45:50.079><c> the</c><00:45:50.199><c> way</c><00:45:50.320><c> we</c><00:45:50.539><c> walk.</c>

00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:52.599
So<00:45:50.860><c> perhaps</c><00:45:51.039><c> it</c><00:45:51.199><c> wasn't</c><00:45:51.420><c> too</c><00:45:51.739><c> bad</c><00:45:51.900><c> after</c><00:45:52.300><c> all.</c>

00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:54.639
We<00:45:53.260><c> can't</c><00:45:53.840><c> walk</c><00:45:54.119><c> in</c><00:45:54.260><c> the</c><00:45:54.480><c> truth</c>

00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:55.739
unless<00:45:54.880><c> we</c><00:45:55.159><c> love</c><00:45:55.360><c> the</c><00:45:55.599><c> truth.</c>

00:45:55.739 --> 00:45:57.619
We<00:45:55.860><c> can't</c><00:45:56.159><c> love</c><00:45:56.400><c> the</c><00:45:56.599><c> truth</c><00:45:56.760><c> unless</c><00:45:56.980><c> we</c><00:45:57.199><c> know</c><00:45:57.340><c> it.</c>

00:45:58.119 --> 00:45:59.559
And<00:45:58.139><c> this</c><00:45:58.440><c> word</c><00:45:58.679><c> know,</c>

00:45:59.960 --> 00:46:03.400
first<00:46:00.239><c> of</c><00:46:00.420><c> all,</c><00:46:00.599><c> does</c><00:46:00.880><c> imply</c><00:46:01.320><c> an</c><00:46:01.659><c> intellectual</c><00:46:02.079><c> comprehension.</c>

00:46:04.059 --> 00:46:06.380
So<00:46:04.059><c> that</c><00:46:04.579><c> as</c><00:46:04.920><c> I</c><00:46:05.019><c> look</c><00:46:05.119><c> at</c><00:46:05.320><c> my</c><00:46:05.559><c> Bible</c><00:46:05.820><c> here,</c>

00:46:13.380 --> 00:46:15.880
Oh,<00:46:13.539><c> by</c><00:46:13.679><c> the</c><00:46:13.800><c> way,</c><00:46:13.940><c> I</c><00:46:14.079><c> missed</c><00:46:14.239><c> out</c><00:46:14.480><c> verse</c><00:46:14.699><c> 2,</c>

00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:23.239
Remember<00:46:22.159><c> Romans</c><00:46:22.519><c> chapter</c><00:46:22.880><c> 3,</c>

00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:46.760
who<00:46:44.559><c> was</c><00:46:44.780><c> tempted</c><00:46:45.099><c> like</c><00:46:45.320><c> in</c><00:46:45.519><c> all</c><00:46:45.699><c> points,</c>

00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:48.820
tempted<00:46:47.159><c> in</c><00:46:47.320><c> all</c><00:46:47.460><c> points</c><00:46:47.659><c> like</c><00:46:47.860><c> as</c><00:46:48.059><c> we</c><00:46:48.300><c> are.</c>

00:46:49.260 --> 00:46:51.420
So<00:46:49.440><c> he's</c><00:46:49.699><c> the</c><00:46:49.900><c> propitiation,</c><00:46:50.659><c> not</c><00:46:50.860><c> for</c><00:46:51.039><c> ours</c><00:46:51.199><c> only,</c>

00:46:51.500 --> 00:46:53.380
but<00:46:51.619><c> for</c><00:46:51.840><c> the</c><00:46:52.219><c> sins</c><00:46:52.320><c> of</c><00:46:52.480><c> the</c><00:46:52.679><c> whole</c><00:46:52.900><c> cosmos.</c>

00:46:53.380 --> 00:46:57.000
And<00:46:54.199><c> hereby</c><00:46:55.059><c> do</c><00:46:55.400><c> we</c><00:46:55.840><c> know</c>

00:46:57.219 --> 00:46:59.559
that<00:46:57.699><c> we</c><00:46:58.039><c> know</c><00:46:58.360><c> him</c>

00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:01.360
if<00:47:00.119><c> we</c><00:47:00.360><c> keep</c><00:47:00.519><c> his</c><00:47:00.800><c> commandments.</c>

00:47:01.820 --> 00:47:04.400
And<00:47:02.139><c> that</c><00:47:02.440><c> word</c><00:47:02.739><c> is</c><00:47:03.239><c> gnosko.</c>

00:47:04.900 --> 00:47:07.420
There<00:47:05.219><c> is</c><00:47:05.480><c> sometimes</c><00:47:05.960><c> an</c><00:47:06.119><c> even</c><00:47:06.460><c> stronger</c><00:47:06.820><c> form</c><00:47:07.099><c> of</c><00:47:07.300><c> it</c>

00:47:07.420 --> 00:47:09.199
and<00:47:07.500><c> they</c><00:47:07.659><c> put</c><00:47:07.860><c> epi</c><00:47:08.300><c> in</c><00:47:08.480><c> front</c><00:47:08.699><c> of</c><00:47:08.820><c> it,</c>

00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:10.260
epi<00:47:09.760><c> gnosko.</c>

00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:11.880
And<00:47:10.699><c> I</c><00:47:10.820><c> know</c><00:47:10.940><c> the</c><00:47:11.119><c> words</c><00:47:11.260><c> gnosko</c>

00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:14.440
because<00:47:12.139><c> I've</c><00:47:12.460><c> put</c><00:47:12.579><c> a</c><00:47:12.900><c> red</c><00:47:13.619><c> line</c><00:47:14.019><c> around</c><00:47:14.320><c> it.</c>

00:47:14.460 --> 00:47:16.699
You<00:47:14.619><c> start</c><00:47:14.840><c> to</c><00:47:14.960><c> run</c><00:47:15.019><c> out</c><00:47:15.199><c> of</c><00:47:15.380><c> colours</c><00:47:15.599><c> on</c><00:47:15.800><c> a</c><00:47:15.940><c> page</c><00:47:16.179><c> after</c><00:47:16.480><c> a</c><00:47:16.559><c> while,</c>

00:47:16.820 --> 00:47:19.380
so<00:47:16.840><c> then</c><00:47:17.000><c> you</c><00:47:17.099><c> have</c><00:47:17.260><c> to</c><00:47:17.380><c> do</c><00:47:17.519><c> things</c><00:47:17.719><c> like</c><00:47:17.920><c> getting</c><00:47:18.179><c> pens</c><00:47:18.480><c> out.</c>

00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:21.900
If<00:47:19.639><c> I</c><00:47:19.840><c> put</c><00:47:20.000><c> a</c><00:47:20.559><c> red</c><00:47:20.920><c> rectangle</c><00:47:21.440><c> around</c><00:47:21.699><c> it</c>

00:47:21.900 --> 00:47:24.300
and<00:47:21.980><c> then</c><00:47:22.159><c> put</c><00:47:22.340><c> a</c><00:47:22.659><c> red</c><00:47:22.940><c> cross</c><00:47:23.239><c> through</c><00:47:23.480><c> it,</c>

00:47:25.940 --> 00:47:27.539
that<00:47:26.420><c> means</c><00:47:26.699><c> epi</c><00:47:27.059><c> gnosko.</c>

00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:30.360
That's<00:47:28.239><c> just</c><00:47:28.739><c> how</c><00:47:29.039><c> I</c><00:47:29.179><c> pick</c><00:47:29.260><c> it</c><00:47:29.420><c> up.</c>

00:47:30.500 --> 00:47:33.539
So<00:47:30.980><c> do</c><00:47:31.460><c> we</c><00:47:31.800><c> really</c><00:47:32.239><c> feel</c>

00:47:33.619 --> 00:47:35.699
that<00:47:34.099><c> we've</c><00:47:34.400><c> come</c><00:47:34.500><c> to</c><00:47:34.699><c> know</c><00:47:34.900><c> God?</c>

00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:37.019
Well,<00:47:36.420><c> brethren</c><00:47:36.559><c> and</c><00:47:36.800><c> sisters,</c>

00:47:37.059 --> 00:47:38.519
we're<00:47:37.400><c> not</c><00:47:37.639><c> finished</c><00:47:37.920><c> with</c><00:47:38.099><c> this</c><00:47:38.219><c> subject,</c>

00:47:38.579 --> 00:47:40.860
but<00:47:38.760><c> we're</c><00:47:39.579><c> virtually</c><00:47:39.920><c> finished</c><00:47:40.239><c> with</c><00:47:40.440><c> our</c><00:47:40.659><c> time.</c>

00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:43.139
And<00:47:41.019><c> I</c><00:47:41.139><c> think</c><00:47:41.280><c> I</c><00:47:41.440><c> was</c><00:47:41.619><c> given</c><00:47:41.980><c> three</c><00:47:42.500><c> more</c><00:47:42.679><c> minutes.</c>

00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:45.519
So<00:47:43.780><c> we</c><00:47:43.920><c> want</c><00:47:44.019><c> to</c><00:47:44.119><c> do</c><00:47:44.219><c> the</c><00:47:44.400><c> rest</c><00:47:44.599><c> of</c><00:47:44.840><c> chapter</c><00:47:45.099><c> two</c>

00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:47.440
in<00:47:45.780><c> those</c><00:47:46.079><c> three</c><00:47:46.340><c> minutes.</c>

00:47:50.940 --> 00:47:53.699
Did<00:47:51.480><c> I</c><00:47:51.699><c> hear</c><00:47:51.780><c> you</c><00:47:52.079><c> groan</c><00:47:52.380><c> then,</c><00:47:52.920><c> Tom?</c>

00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:56.179
Someone<00:47:54.880><c> did</c><00:47:55.039><c> over</c><00:47:55.300><c> there.</c>

00:47:56.440 --> 00:47:57.380
There<00:47:56.679><c> are</c><00:47:56.940><c> difficulties,</c>

00:47:57.619 --> 00:48:00.440
but<00:47:57.820><c> we're</c><00:47:58.480><c> trying</c><00:47:58.840><c> to</c><00:47:59.059><c> pick</c><00:47:59.239><c> up</c><00:47:59.420><c> some</c><00:47:59.639><c> essential</c><00:48:00.079><c> themes.</c>

00:48:00.699 --> 00:48:03.039
And<00:48:00.860><c> what</c><00:48:01.000><c> we're</c><00:48:01.219><c> saying</c><00:48:01.460><c> is</c><00:48:01.659><c> that</c><00:48:01.760><c> if</c><00:48:01.820><c> we</c><00:48:02.019><c> get</c><00:48:02.199><c> these</c><00:48:02.500><c> words,</c>

00:48:03.500 --> 00:48:05.679
you're<00:48:03.780><c> going</c><00:48:03.860><c> to</c><00:48:04.079><c> find</c><00:48:04.219><c> that</c><00:48:04.480><c> John</c><00:48:04.639><c> will</c><00:48:04.940><c> repeat</c><00:48:05.219><c> them</c>

00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:08.760
over<00:48:06.059><c> and</c><00:48:06.300><c> over</c><00:48:06.679><c> and</c><00:48:06.900><c> over</c><00:48:07.260><c> and</c><00:48:07.460><c> over</c><00:48:07.880><c> again.</c>

00:48:08.860 --> 00:48:11.500
Remember<00:48:09.179><c> that</c><00:48:09.559><c> transparency</c><00:48:10.059><c> we</c><00:48:10.320><c> put</c><00:48:10.460><c> up</c><00:48:10.659><c> a</c><00:48:10.760><c> little</c><00:48:10.960><c> while</c><00:48:11.159><c> ago</c>

00:48:11.500 --> 00:48:14.820
about<00:48:12.119><c> these</c><00:48:12.420><c> significant</c><00:48:12.940><c> words</c><00:48:13.280><c> in</c><00:48:13.500><c> John's</c><00:48:13.960><c> Gospel.</c>

00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:21.500
Well,<00:48:19.219><c> we</c><00:48:19.320><c> won't</c><00:48:20.619><c> put</c><00:48:20.840><c> that</c><00:48:20.960><c> one</c><00:48:21.039><c> up</c><00:48:21.219><c> again,</c>

00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:24.380
but<00:48:21.940><c> what</c><00:48:22.340><c> we'll</c><00:48:22.519><c> just</c><00:48:22.760><c> say</c><00:48:23.039><c> is</c><00:48:23.380><c> this.</c>

00:48:24.539 --> 00:48:28.699
Here's<00:48:24.960><c> the</c><00:48:25.239><c> structure</c><00:48:25.539><c> then</c><00:48:25.920><c> of</c><00:48:26.239><c> the</c><00:48:26.380><c> rest</c><00:48:26.719><c> of</c><00:48:28.199><c> John</c><00:48:28.420><c> two.</c>

00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:31.039
And<00:48:28.860><c> this</c><00:48:29.059><c> is</c><00:48:29.260><c> that</c><00:48:29.420><c> little</c><00:48:29.699><c> part</c><00:48:29.960><c> of</c><00:48:30.239><c> your</c><00:48:30.480><c> chart</c><00:48:30.760><c> there.</c>

00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:33.400
So<00:48:31.559><c> this</c><00:48:31.760><c> is</c><00:48:32.019><c> the</c><00:48:32.199><c> sort</c><00:48:32.400><c> of</c><00:48:32.619><c> thing</c>

00:48:33.320 --> 00:48:35.559
that<00:48:33.579><c> we</c><00:48:33.780><c> would</c><00:48:33.920><c> find</c><00:48:34.179><c> as</c><00:48:34.340><c> we</c><00:48:34.519><c> would</c><00:48:34.679><c> go</c><00:48:34.940><c> through</c><00:48:35.239><c> there.</c>

00:48:35.940 --> 00:48:38.719
We<00:48:36.059><c> would</c><00:48:36.300><c> find</c><00:48:36.519><c> this</c><00:48:36.820><c> word</c><00:48:37.099><c> knowing</c><00:48:37.500><c> coming</c><00:48:37.840><c> out</c><00:48:38.119><c> twice</c><00:48:38.460><c> in</c>

00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:39.219
verse<00:48:38.860><c> three,</c>

00:48:39.340 --> 00:48:41.800
once<00:48:39.519><c> in</c><00:48:39.780><c> verse</c><00:48:39.980><c> four,</c><00:48:40.679><c> once</c><00:48:40.980><c> in</c><00:48:41.219><c> verse</c><00:48:41.420><c> five.</c>

00:48:41.820 --> 00:48:43.659
We've<00:48:42.039><c> got</c><00:48:42.119><c> the</c><00:48:42.300><c> word</c><00:48:42.440><c> order</c><00:48:42.699><c> in</c><00:48:42.960><c> verse</c><00:48:43.179><c> 11</c>

00:48:43.659 --> 00:48:46.300
and<00:48:44.039><c> then</c><00:48:44.179><c> we're</c><00:48:44.320><c> back</c><00:48:44.480><c> to</c><00:48:44.659><c> Gnowsko</c><00:48:45.079><c> in</c><00:48:45.300><c> verse</c><00:48:45.599><c> 13,</c>

00:48:46.460 --> 00:48:50.500
twice,<00:48:47.380><c> verse</c><00:48:47.719><c> 14,</c><00:48:48.880><c> verse</c><00:48:49.260><c> 18.</c>

00:48:50.940 --> 00:48:54.860
You<00:48:51.199><c> see,</c><00:48:51.559><c> he's</c><00:48:51.880><c> going</c><00:48:52.019><c> to</c><00:48:52.280><c> start</c><00:48:52.599><c> emphasizing</c><00:48:53.559><c> these</c><00:48:53.960><c> words.</c>

00:48:54.900 --> 00:48:58.860
So<00:48:55.039><c> can</c><00:48:55.300><c> we</c><00:48:55.539><c> summarize</c><00:48:56.039><c> the</c><00:48:56.239><c> rest</c><00:48:56.440><c> of</c><00:48:56.679><c> the</c><00:48:56.820><c> chapter</c><00:48:57.199><c> in</c><00:48:58.320><c> this</c><00:48:58.559><c> way?</c>

00:48:59.219 --> 00:49:01.920
We've<00:48:59.639><c> really</c><00:48:59.940><c> only</c><00:49:00.360><c> looked</c><00:49:00.559><c> at</c><00:49:00.739><c> those</c><00:49:01.000><c> first</c><00:49:01.300><c> three</c><00:49:01.559><c> verses</c>

00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:03.400

I<00:49:14.059><c> prefer</c><00:49:14.239><c> that</c><00:49:14.440><c> you</c><00:49:14.739><c> didn't</c><00:49:15.119><c> sin.</c>

00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:29.699

00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:37.920
Now,<00:49:34.840><c> hereby</c><00:49:35.320><c> do</c><00:49:35.539><c> we</c><00:49:35.880><c> know</c><00:49:36.340><c> that</c><00:49:36.519><c> we</c><00:49:36.659><c> know</c><00:49:36.840><c> him</c>

00:49:39.739 --> 00:49:41.619
It's<00:49:40.059><c> a</c><00:49:40.159><c> little</c><00:49:40.300><c> bit</c><00:49:40.460><c> to</c><00:49:40.619><c> do</c><00:49:40.840><c> with</c><00:49:41.019><c> the</c><00:49:41.260><c> conscience.</c>

00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:05.239
The<00:50:03.000><c> other</c><00:50:03.340><c> side</c><00:50:03.539><c> of</c><00:50:03.639><c> it</c><00:50:03.780><c> is</c><00:50:03.900><c> verses</c><00:50:04.199><c> five</c><00:50:04.539><c> and</c><00:50:04.719><c> six,</c>

00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:18.000
But<00:50:16.199><c> can</c><00:50:16.380><c> you</c><00:50:16.559><c> see</c><00:50:16.699><c> then</c><00:50:16.880><c> how</c><00:50:17.059><c> we've</c><00:50:17.340><c> drawn</c><00:50:17.420><c> up</c><00:50:17.619><c> this</c><00:50:17.900><c> chart</c>

00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:26.940

00:50:33.300 --> 00:50:34.800
It's<00:50:33.760><c> practical.</c>

00:50:35.139 --> 00:50:37.340
We're<00:50:35.300><c> either</c><00:50:35.559><c> in</c><00:50:36.019><c> him</c><00:50:36.179><c> or</c><00:50:36.420><c> we're</c><00:50:36.679><c> not</c><00:50:36.880><c> in</c><00:50:37.099><c> him.</c>
