Then<00:02:42.259><c> also</c><00:02:42.599><c> those</c><00:02:42.900><c> who</c><00:02:43.060><c> have</c><00:02:43.300><c> fallen</c><00:02:43.460><c> asleep</c><00:02:43.800><c> in</c><00:02:44.000><c> Christ</c><00:02:44.280><c> have</c><00:02:44.520><c> perished.</c>

00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.580
If<00:02:45.780><c> in</c><00:02:45.960><c> this</c><00:02:46.199><c> life</c><00:02:46.400><c> only</c><00:02:46.699><c> we</c><00:02:46.960><c> have</c><00:02:47.139><c> hope</c><00:02:47.319><c> in</c><00:02:47.500><c> Christ,</c>

00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.439
we<00:02:48.759><c> are</c><00:02:49.000><c> of</c><00:02:49.180><c> all</c><00:02:49.439><c> men</c><00:02:49.639><c> the</c><00:02:49.780><c> most</c><00:02:50.099><c> pitiable.</c>

00:02:54.379 --> 00:02:56.840
Paul's<00:02:54.819><c> presenting</c><00:02:55.060><c> here</c><00:02:55.300><c> a</c><00:02:55.340><c> logical</c><00:02:55.740><c> argument.</c>

00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.259
If<00:02:59.120><c> Christ</c><00:02:59.479><c> did</c><00:02:59.699><c> not</c><00:02:59.879><c> rise</c><00:03:00.099><c> from</c><00:03:00.259><c> the</c><00:03:00.460><c> dead,</c>

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.840
your<00:03:01.879><c> faith</c><00:03:02.300><c> is</c><00:03:02.740><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:03:05.659 --> 00:03:09.439
We<00:03:06.219><c> believe</c><00:03:06.520><c> that</c><00:03:06.759><c> Christ</c><00:03:07.199><c> is</c><00:03:07.780><c> resurrected</c><00:03:08.139><c> from</c><00:03:08.379><c> the</c><00:03:08.560><c> dead.</c>

00:03:09.620 --> 00:03:11.719
And<00:03:10.060><c> if</c><00:03:10.199><c> that's</c><00:03:10.520><c> not</c><00:03:10.659><c> a</c><00:03:10.819><c> historical</c><00:03:11.219><c> fact,</c>

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.020
he<00:03:11.939><c> might</c><00:03:12.120><c> as</c><00:03:12.259><c> well</c><00:03:12.360><c> not</c><00:03:12.580><c> be</c><00:03:12.759><c> here.</c>

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.800
This<00:03:14.860><c> is</c><00:03:15.020><c> just</c><00:03:15.159><c> a</c><00:03:15.300><c> big</c><00:03:15.439><c> game.</c>

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:21.680
Paul<00:03:18.340><c> was</c><00:03:18.580><c> willing</c><00:03:18.819><c> to</c><00:03:19.080><c> say</c><00:03:19.280><c> this</c><00:03:19.759><c> some</c><00:03:20.280><c> 30</c><00:03:20.580><c> years</c><00:03:20.960><c> after</c><00:03:21.259><c> Christ</c>

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.860
has<00:03:21.979><c> at</c><00:03:22.120><c> least</c><00:03:22.460><c> claimed</c><00:03:22.819><c> to</c><00:03:23.000><c> have</c><00:03:23.319><c> risen</c><00:03:23.560><c> from</c><00:03:23.800><c> the</c><00:03:23.979><c> dead.</c>

00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.020
Notice<00:03:25.759><c> what</c><00:03:25.979><c> else</c><00:03:26.139><c> he</c><00:03:26.360><c> claims</c><00:03:26.539><c> in</c><00:03:26.719><c> the</c><00:03:26.860><c> same</c><00:03:27.039><c> chapter.</c>

00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.860
Go<00:03:29.060><c> back</c><00:03:29.280><c> to</c><00:03:29.439><c> verse</c><00:03:29.620><c> 3.</c>

00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:33.759
Again,<00:03:32.120><c> this</c><00:03:32.120><c> is</c><00:03:32.879><c> verses</c><00:03:33.240><c> 3</c><00:03:33.520><c> and</c><00:03:33.620><c> 4.</c>

00:03:33.900 --> 00:03:34.979
He's<00:03:33.979><c> talking</c><00:03:34.080><c> about</c><00:03:34.199><c> the</c><00:03:34.439><c> importance</c><00:03:34.680><c> of</c><00:03:34.879><c> this.</c>

00:03:34.979 --> 00:03:36.000
He<00:03:35.120><c> says,</c>

00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.919
For<00:03:36.039><c> I</c><00:03:36.360><c> delivered</c><00:03:36.580><c> to</c><00:03:36.800><c> you</c><00:03:37.080><c> first</c><00:03:37.500><c> of</c><00:03:37.759><c> all</c>

00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:40.960
that<00:03:39.280><c> which</c><00:03:39.460><c> I</c><00:03:39.659><c> also</c><00:03:39.939><c> received,</c>

00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.680
that<00:03:41.780><c> Christ</c><00:03:42.159><c> died</c><00:03:42.439><c> for</c><00:03:42.659><c> our</c><00:03:42.860><c> sins</c><00:03:43.039><c> according</c><00:03:43.379><c> to</c><00:03:43.580><c> the</c><00:03:43.759><c> Scriptures,</c>

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:46.680
that<00:03:45.280><c> he</c><00:03:45.419><c> was</c><00:03:45.680><c> buried,</c>

00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:50.900
and<00:03:47.340><c> that</c><00:03:47.620><c> he</c><00:03:47.800><c> rose</c><00:03:48.060><c> again</c><00:03:48.379><c> the</c><00:03:48.580><c> third</c><00:03:48.819><c> day</c><00:03:49.259><c> according</c><00:03:49.659><c> to</c><00:03:49.860><c> the</c><00:03:50.020><c> Scriptures.</c>

00:03:51.139 --> 00:03:53.240
And<00:03:51.340><c> then</c><00:03:51.479><c> notice</c><00:03:51.680><c> the</c><00:03:51.840><c> next</c><00:03:52.060><c> few</c><00:03:52.219><c> verses.</c>

00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:56.319
And<00:03:53.699><c> that</c><00:03:53.800><c> he</c><00:03:53.919><c> was</c><00:03:54.219><c> seen</c><00:03:54.439><c> by</c><00:03:54.800><c> Cephas,</c><00:03:55.139><c> that's</c><00:03:55.460><c> Peter.</c>

00:03:56.500 --> 00:03:58.560
And<00:03:56.740><c> then</c><00:03:56.819><c> he</c><00:03:56.879><c> was</c><00:03:57.060><c> seen</c><00:03:57.219><c> by</c><00:03:57.400><c> the</c><00:03:57.639><c> Twelve.</c>

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:02.379
And<00:03:58.879><c> after</c><00:03:59.180><c> that</c><00:03:59.419><c> he</c><00:03:59.520><c> was</c><00:03:59.759><c> seen</c><00:03:59.900><c> by</c><00:04:00.080><c> over</c><00:04:00.419><c> 500</c><00:04:01.139><c> brethren</c><00:04:01.740><c> at</c><00:04:01.960><c> once,</c>

00:04:02.379 --> 00:04:04.719
of<00:04:02.979><c> whom</c><00:04:03.099><c> the</c><00:04:03.319><c> greater</c><00:04:03.539><c> part</c><00:04:03.759><c> remained</c><00:04:04.060><c> to</c><00:04:04.240><c> the</c><00:04:04.439><c> present,</c>

00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.280
but<00:04:05.439><c> some</c><00:04:05.680><c> have</c><00:04:05.919><c> fallen</c><00:04:06.139><c> asleep.</c>

00:04:07.699 --> 00:04:09.479
After<00:04:08.020><c> that</c><00:04:08.240><c> he</c><00:04:08.340><c> was</c><00:04:08.520><c> seen</c><00:04:08.699><c> by</c><00:04:08.979><c> James,</c>

00:04:09.939 --> 00:04:11.520
then<00:04:10.000><c> by</c><00:04:10.199><c> all</c><00:04:10.400><c> the</c><00:04:10.580><c> apostles.</c>

00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.900
Then<00:04:12.080><c> last</c><00:04:12.400><c> of</c><00:04:12.599><c> all</c><00:04:12.759><c> he</c><00:04:12.879><c> was</c><00:04:13.120><c> seen</c><00:04:13.280><c> by</c><00:04:13.500><c> me</c><00:04:13.780><c> also,</c>

00:04:14.939 --> 00:04:17.699
as<00:04:15.159><c> by</c><00:04:15.400><c> one</c><00:04:15.900><c> born</c><00:04:16.199><c> out</c><00:04:16.399><c> of</c><00:04:16.540><c> due</c><00:04:16.699><c> time.</c>

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.319
So<00:04:19.060><c> when</c><00:04:19.240><c> Paul</c><00:04:19.500><c> says</c><00:04:19.800><c> in</c><00:04:20.360><c> verses</c><00:04:20.879><c> 12</c><00:04:21.459><c> through</c><00:04:21.620><c> 19</c>

00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.519
that<00:04:23.180><c> if</c><00:04:23.420><c> Christ</c><00:04:23.740><c> isn't</c><00:04:24.060><c> risen,</c>

00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.459
your<00:04:25.060><c> faith</c><00:04:25.240><c> is</c><00:04:25.500><c> futile,</c>

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.620
he<00:04:27.839><c> says</c><00:04:28.100><c> just</c><00:04:28.360><c> a</c><00:04:28.740><c> few</c><00:04:28.839><c> verses</c><00:04:29.139><c> earlier,</c>

00:04:29.779 --> 00:04:31.279
this<00:04:29.980><c> can</c><00:04:30.160><c> be</c><00:04:30.399><c> backed</c><00:04:30.600><c> up.</c>

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.060
It<00:04:31.759><c> can</c><00:04:31.899><c> be</c><00:04:32.199><c> proven.</c>

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:34.959
You<00:04:33.339><c> can</c><00:04:33.480><c> go</c><00:04:33.680><c> ask</c><00:04:33.920><c> witnesses.</c>

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:37.259
There<00:04:35.220><c> was</c><00:04:35.399><c> over</c><00:04:35.720><c> 500</c><00:04:36.120><c> brethren</c><00:04:36.459><c> who</c><00:04:36.680><c> saw</c><00:04:36.839><c> him</c><00:04:36.920><c> at</c><00:04:37.100><c> once.</c>

00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:38.279
Some<00:04:37.500><c> of</c><00:04:37.620><c> them</c><00:04:37.699><c> are</c><00:04:37.939><c> alive.</c>

00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:39.920
Go<00:04:38.720><c> ask</c><00:04:39.100><c> them.</c>

00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:43.240
That's<00:04:40.639><c> what</c><00:04:40.740><c> he</c><00:04:40.899><c> said</c><00:04:41.040><c> to</c><00:04:41.360><c> the</c><00:04:41.560><c> Corinthians</c><00:04:41.920><c> in</c><00:04:42.100><c> his</c><00:04:42.339><c> day.</c>

00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:44.660
We<00:04:43.519><c> can't</c><00:04:43.879><c> do</c><00:04:44.120><c> that.</c>

00:04:44.899 --> 00:04:47.240
And<00:04:45.120><c> so</c><00:04:45.220><c> we</c><00:04:45.360><c> have</c><00:04:45.560><c> to</c><00:04:45.740><c> use</c><00:04:45.860><c> other</c><00:04:46.100><c> methods</c><00:04:46.459><c> for</c><00:04:47.000><c> looking</c>

00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.120
and<00:04:47.500><c> determining</c><00:04:47.819><c> whether</c><00:04:48.139><c> Christ</c><00:04:48.579><c> really</c><00:04:49.699><c> rose</c><00:04:49.920><c> from</c><00:04:50.079><c> the</c><00:04:50.240><c> dead.</c>

00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:54.060
One<00:04:52.779><c> more</c><00:04:52.980><c> thing</c><00:04:53.139><c> before</c><00:04:53.379><c> I</c><00:04:53.540><c> go</c><00:04:53.720><c> on.</c>

00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.660
My<00:04:54.620><c> terminology</c><00:04:55.199><c> is</c><00:04:55.480><c> not</c><00:04:55.779><c> technically</c><00:04:56.180><c> correct.</c>

00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.120
I<00:04:57.139><c> really</c><00:04:57.379><c> shouldn't</c><00:04:57.540><c> be</c><00:04:57.779><c> saying</c><00:04:58.060><c> whether</c><00:04:58.379><c> Christ</c><00:04:58.740><c> rose</c><00:04:58.980><c> from</c>

00:04:59.120 --> 00:04:59.560
the<00:04:59.279><c> dead.</c>

00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.860
Technically<00:05:00.519><c> I</c><00:05:00.680><c> should</c><00:05:00.879><c> be</c><00:05:01.079><c> saying</c>

00:05:01.860 --> 00:05:04.899
whether<00:05:02.319><c> Jesus</c><00:05:02.740><c> of</c><00:05:02.920><c> Nazareth</c><00:05:03.339><c> rose</c><00:05:03.600><c> from</c><00:05:03.779><c> the</c><00:05:03.959><c> dead.</c>

00:05:05.459 --> 00:05:08.500

very<00:06:14.120><c> religious.</c>

00:06:15.139 --> 00:06:16.480
And<00:06:15.259><c> he</c><00:06:15.360><c> goes</c><00:06:15.519><c> on.</c>

00:06:16.579 --> 00:06:18.519

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.819
But<00:06:21.439><c> notice</c><00:06:21.720><c> what</c><00:06:21.860><c> he</c><00:06:22.060><c> says</c><00:06:22.199><c> starting</c><00:06:22.459><c> in</c><00:06:22.620><c> verse</c><00:06:22.819><c> 30.</c>

00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.120
Truly<00:06:24.560><c> these</c><00:06:24.959><c> times</c><00:06:25.279><c> of</c><00:06:25.500><c> ignorance</c><00:06:25.819><c> God</c><00:06:26.139><c> overlooked.</c>

So<00:06:34.399><c> what</c><00:06:34.579><c> if</c><00:06:34.699><c> he</c><00:06:35.019><c> claims</c><00:06:35.639><c> that</c><00:06:36.220><c> we're</c><00:06:36.399><c> supposed</c><00:06:36.600><c> to</c><00:06:36.779><c> repent?</c>

00:06:37.980 --> 00:06:40.079
That<00:06:38.100><c> we're</c><00:06:38.319><c> supposed</c><00:06:38.459><c> to</c><00:06:38.699><c> change</c><00:06:38.879><c> our</c><00:06:39.120><c> lifestyle?</c>

00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.300
That's<00:06:41.740><c> nothing</c><00:06:41.920><c> more</c><00:06:42.180><c> than</c><00:06:42.339><c> a</c><00:06:42.560><c> claim.</c>

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.199
is<00:06:49.920><c> because</c><00:06:50.579><c> he</c><00:06:50.839><c> has</c><00:06:51.120><c> appointed</c><00:06:51.519><c> a</c><00:06:51.800><c> day</c>

00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.259

00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.139

00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.019
That's<00:08:50.320><c> just</c><00:08:50.519><c> a</c><00:08:50.620><c> very</c><00:08:50.779><c> basic</c><00:08:51.080><c> assumption.</c>

Pilate<00:10:23.860><c> condemned</c><00:10:24.299><c> him</c><00:10:24.500><c> to</c><00:10:24.639><c> be</c><00:10:24.860><c> crucified</c><00:10:25.500><c> and</c><00:10:25.960><c> die.</c>

00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.679
And<00:10:27.460><c> those</c><00:10:27.679><c> who</c><00:10:27.840><c> had</c><00:10:27.919><c> become</c><00:10:28.120><c> his</c><00:10:28.379><c> disciples</c><00:10:28.799><c> did</c><00:10:29.019><c> not</c><00:10:29.259><c> abandon</c><00:10:29.580><c> his</c><00:10:29.980><c> discipleship.</c>

00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.639

00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:48.139
But<00:11:45.360><c> they</c><00:11:45.639><c> are</c><00:11:45.980><c> saying</c><00:11:46.440><c> that</c><00:11:47.000><c> he</c><00:11:47.139><c> was</c><00:11:47.399><c> crucified</c><00:11:47.899><c> under</c>

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:27.080
Because<00:12:24.340><c> about</c><00:12:24.779><c> that</c><00:12:25.080><c> time</c><00:12:25.320><c> there</c><00:12:25.500><c> was</c><00:12:25.799><c> at</c><00:12:26.019><c> least</c><00:12:26.360><c> a</c><00:12:26.779><c> rumor</c>

00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:27.960
going<00:12:27.419><c> around</c>

00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.000
that<00:12:28.740><c> Jesus</c><00:12:29.120><c> had</c><00:12:29.340><c> risen</c><00:12:29.519><c> from</c><00:12:29.779><c> the</c><00:12:29.940><c> dead.</c>

00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:38.419
We<00:12:35.500><c> can't</c><00:12:36.100><c> possibly</c><00:12:36.600><c> cover</c><00:12:36.899><c> every</c><00:12:37.299><c> possible</c><00:12:37.779><c> angle</c><00:12:38.100><c> on</c><00:12:38.259><c> this</c>

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.899

Now,<00:12:50.620><c> another</c><00:12:50.980><c> thing</c><00:12:51.200><c> I</c><00:12:51.320><c> want</c><00:12:51.460><c> you</c><00:12:51.580><c> to</c><00:12:51.679><c> keep</c><00:12:51.799><c> in</c><00:12:51.799><c> mind</c><00:12:52.000><c> is</c><00:12:52.139><c> we're</c><00:12:52.320><c> going</c><00:12:52.440><c> to</c>

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:52.960
look<00:12:52.679><c> at,</c>

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.120
not<00:12:53.500><c> directly,</c><00:12:53.899><c> but</c><00:12:54.019><c> I</c><00:12:54.080><c> just</c><00:12:54.200><c> want</c><00:12:54.299><c> to</c><00:12:54.740><c> bring</c><00:12:54.919><c> to</c><00:12:55.539><c> your</c><00:12:55.820><c> mind</c>

00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:56.980
to<00:12:56.460><c> remember</c>

00:12:56.980 --> 00:13:00.240
some<00:12:57.480><c> things</c><00:12:57.679><c> that</c><00:12:57.840><c> the</c><00:12:57.980><c> Bible</c><00:12:58.200><c> says</c><00:12:58.480><c> about</c><00:12:59.179><c> the</c><00:12:59.500><c> death</c><00:12:59.679><c> of</c><00:12:59.879><c> Jesus.</c>

00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.200
And<00:13:00.679><c> I</c><00:13:00.779><c> want</c><00:13:00.899><c> you</c><00:13:01.039><c> to</c><00:13:01.220><c> notice</c><00:13:01.519><c> that</c><00:13:01.919><c> those</c><00:13:02.320><c> things</c><00:13:02.720><c> have</c><00:13:02.960><c> never</c>

00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.080
been<00:13:03.519><c> contested</c><00:13:03.899><c> by</c><00:13:04.080><c> the</c><00:13:04.279><c> Jews.</c>

00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:11.639
For<00:13:07.039><c> example,</c><00:13:09.299><c> the</c><00:13:09.360><c> Bible</c><00:13:09.779><c> says,</c><00:13:10.399><c> the</c><00:13:10.500><c> New</c><00:13:10.679><c> Testament</c><00:13:11.059><c> says,</c>

00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:15.960
that<00:13:12.179><c> Jesus</c><00:13:12.639><c> not</c><00:13:13.059><c> only</c><00:13:13.220><c> was</c><00:13:13.419><c> crucified,</c><00:13:14.379><c> but</c><00:13:14.600><c> that</c><00:13:14.779><c> he</c><00:13:15.000><c> died.</c>

00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:19.220
And<00:13:16.580><c> what</c><00:13:16.759><c> happened</c><00:13:17.039><c> after</c><00:13:17.299><c> he</c><00:13:17.440><c> died?</c><00:13:17.799><c> Who</c><00:13:17.799><c> buried</c><00:13:18.100><c> him?</c>

00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:21.379
Come<00:13:19.960><c> on,</c><00:13:20.120><c> who</c><00:13:20.240><c> buried</c><00:13:20.539><c> him?</c>

00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:24.120
Joseph<00:13:21.980><c> of</c><00:13:22.200><c> Arimathea</c><00:13:22.659><c> and</c><00:13:22.860><c> who</c><00:13:23.080><c> else?</c>

00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:27.000
Nicodemus,<00:13:25.600><c> okay?</c><00:13:26.019><c> That</c><00:13:26.179><c> he</c><00:13:26.320><c> was</c><00:13:26.580><c> buried.</c>

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:31.019
And<00:13:27.480><c> the</c><00:13:27.600><c> Bible</c><00:13:27.860><c> says</c><00:13:28.259><c> that</c><00:13:28.679><c> a</c><00:13:28.919><c> guard</c><00:13:29.179><c> was</c><00:13:29.460><c> set</c><00:13:29.639><c> up</c><00:13:29.779><c> around</c><00:13:30.019><c> the</c><00:13:30.240><c> tomb.</c>

00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:36.639
Why<00:13:34.080><c> have</c><00:13:34.279><c> the</c><00:13:34.519><c> Jews</c><00:13:34.840><c> never</c><00:13:35.279><c> contested</c><00:13:35.820><c> that?</c>

00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:41.919
The<00:13:40.220><c> Jews</c><00:13:40.379><c> have</c><00:13:40.559><c> never</c><00:13:40.799><c> said,</c><00:13:41.039><c> no,</c><00:13:41.159><c> no,</c><00:13:41.299><c> no,</c><00:13:41.399><c> that's</c><00:13:41.659><c> wrong,</c>

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.080
that's<00:13:42.240><c> wrong.</c>

00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:47.120
There<00:13:44.379><c> was</c><00:13:44.559><c> no</c><00:13:44.759><c> guard.</c><00:13:45.139><c> He</c><00:13:45.299><c> wasn't</c><00:13:45.600><c> buried</c><00:13:45.860><c> by</c><00:13:46.100><c> Joseph</c><00:13:46.399><c> of</c><00:13:46.580><c> Arimathea.</c>

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:49.659
The<00:13:47.759><c> reason</c><00:13:48.019><c> is</c><00:13:48.299><c> because</c><00:13:48.559><c> they</c><00:13:48.759><c> can't.</c>

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.980
It's<00:13:50.299><c> never</c><00:13:50.559><c> been</c><00:13:50.899><c> contested</c><00:13:51.279><c> and</c><00:13:51.340><c> the</c><00:13:51.440><c> reason</c><00:13:51.620><c> it's</c><00:13:51.759><c> never</c>

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:52.659
been<00:13:52.240><c> contested</c>

00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:54.519
is<00:13:52.820><c> because</c><00:13:53.019><c> there's</c><00:13:53.240><c> no</c><00:13:53.399><c> reason</c><00:13:53.659><c> to</c><00:13:53.919><c> contest</c><00:13:54.220><c> it,</c><00:13:54.360><c> because</c>

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:55.820
it's<00:13:54.759><c> irrefutable.</c>

00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.679
There's<00:13:58.620><c> a</c><00:13:58.779><c> couple</c><00:13:58.940><c> of</c><00:13:59.200><c> theories</c><00:13:59.419><c> out</c><00:13:59.700><c> about</c><00:13:59.899><c> what</c><00:14:00.080><c> may</c><00:14:00.259><c> have</c><00:14:00.460><c> happened</c>

00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.799
and<00:14:00.820><c> I</c><00:14:00.940><c> need</c><00:14:01.279><c> to</c><00:14:02.899><c> talk</c><00:14:03.259><c> about</c><00:14:03.559><c> them.</c>

00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:06.399
And<00:14:03.960><c> I'm</c><00:14:04.080><c> going</c><00:14:04.220><c> to</c><00:14:04.899><c> talk</c><00:14:05.120><c> about</c><00:14:05.320><c> something</c><00:14:05.620><c> in</c><00:14:05.820><c> detail</c><00:14:06.159><c> here</c>

00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:07.440
for<00:14:06.700><c> a</c><00:14:06.840><c> couple</c><00:14:07.000><c> of</c><00:14:07.220><c> moments</c>

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.080
that<00:14:08.240><c> may</c><00:14:08.659><c> turn</c><00:14:08.820><c> your</c><00:14:09.039><c> stomachs</c><00:14:09.360><c> just</c><00:14:09.480><c> a</c><00:14:09.600><c> little</c><00:14:09.779><c> bit.</c>

00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:13.580
Does<00:14:10.899><c> anybody</c><00:14:11.120><c> know</c><00:14:11.419><c> what</c><00:14:11.600><c> the</c><00:14:11.820><c> actual</c><00:14:12.139><c> cause</c><00:14:12.419><c> of</c><00:14:12.600><c> death</c><00:14:12.799><c> is</c>

00:14:13.580 --> 00:14:15.460
when<00:14:13.940><c> you're</c><00:14:14.139><c> crucified?</c>

00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:18.700
Suffocation,<00:14:17.820><c> asphyxiation,</c><00:14:18.279><c> okay.</c>

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.320
So<00:14:19.019><c> I</c><00:14:19.039><c> think</c><00:14:19.220><c> you're</c><00:14:19.480><c> all</c><00:14:19.759><c> a</c><00:14:19.879><c> little</c><00:14:20.019><c> bit</c><00:14:20.159><c> familiar</c><00:14:20.340><c> with</c><00:14:20.539><c> this.</c>

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.779
Basically,<00:14:21.539><c> if</c><00:14:21.700><c> you</c><00:14:21.820><c> don't</c><00:14:21.980><c> already</c><00:14:22.279><c> know,</c><00:14:23.059><c> if</c><00:14:23.220><c> you</c><00:14:23.419><c> hang</c><00:14:23.580><c> out</c>

00:14:23.779 --> 00:14:25.279
from<00:14:23.960><c> your</c><00:14:24.259><c> arms,</c>

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:27.679
what<00:14:26.120><c> happens</c><00:14:26.399><c> if</c><00:14:26.519><c> you</c><00:14:26.639><c> hold</c><00:14:26.759><c> your</c><00:14:26.940><c> arms</c><00:14:27.039><c> out</c><00:14:27.179><c> for</c><00:14:27.320><c> 20</c><00:14:27.519><c> minutes?</c>

00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:29.980
What's<00:14:27.899><c> going</c><00:14:28.000><c> to</c><00:14:28.120><c> happen?</c><00:14:28.879><c> They're</c><00:14:29.059><c> going</c><00:14:29.159><c> to</c><00:14:29.360><c> cramp,</c><00:14:29.740><c> right?</c>

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.259
Well,<00:14:30.220><c> first</c><00:14:30.419><c> they'll</c><00:14:30.580><c> get</c><00:14:30.700><c> tired</c><00:14:30.879><c> and</c><00:14:30.940><c> then</c><00:14:31.059><c> they're</c><00:14:31.120><c> going</c>

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:31.720
to<00:14:31.399><c> cramp.</c>

00:14:32.059 --> 00:14:34.720
Well,<00:14:32.360><c> if</c><00:14:32.500><c> you're</c><00:14:32.700><c> supporting</c><00:14:33.159><c> your</c><00:14:33.440><c> weight,</c><00:14:33.639><c> if</c><00:14:33.759><c> your</c><00:14:33.899><c> weight's</c><00:14:34.080><c> being</c><00:14:34.320><c> supported</c>

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.460
from<00:14:34.940><c> your</c><00:14:35.120><c> wrists,</c><00:14:35.460><c> and</c><00:14:35.580><c> actually</c><00:14:35.840><c> it</c><00:14:35.960><c> would</c><00:14:36.039><c> go</c><00:14:36.259><c> through</c>

00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:38.059

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:10.960
And<00:15:09.080><c> what</c><00:15:09.220><c> you</c><00:15:09.379><c> would</c><00:15:09.559><c> do,</c><00:15:09.759><c> the</c><00:15:09.860><c> only</c><00:15:09.960><c> way</c><00:15:10.059><c> you</c><00:15:10.179><c> could</c><00:15:10.299><c> breathe</c><00:15:10.539><c> again,</c>

00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.179

00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:16.580
And<00:15:14.860><c> when</c><00:15:14.980><c> you</c><00:15:15.100><c> did</c><00:15:15.200><c> that,</c><00:15:15.460><c> the</c><00:15:15.559><c> pain</c><00:15:15.779><c> on</c><00:15:15.960><c> your</c><00:15:16.159><c> ankles</c><00:15:16.379><c> was</c>

00:15:16.580 --> 00:15:17.620
just<00:15:16.899><c> excruciating</c>

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:19.679
but<00:15:17.740><c> that's</c><00:15:17.940><c> the</c><00:15:18.000><c> only</c><00:15:18.100><c> way</c><00:15:18.220><c> you</c><00:15:18.360><c> could</c><00:15:18.659><c> get</c><00:15:18.840><c> to</c><00:15:19.080><c> breathe,</c><00:15:19.580><c> so</c>

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.220
you'd<00:15:19.899><c> slump</c><00:15:20.000><c> back</c><00:15:20.259><c> down.</c>

00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.679
Right,<00:15:25.600><c> I'll</c><00:15:25.779><c> get</c><00:15:25.919><c> into</c><00:15:26.000><c> that</c><00:15:26.159><c> in</c><00:15:26.259><c> a</c><00:15:26.399><c> second,</c><00:15:26.759><c> okay?</c><00:15:27.399><c> But</c><00:15:27.539><c> the</c>

00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:28.360
point<00:15:27.820><c> is,</c>

00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:32.399
if<00:15:28.879><c> you</c><00:15:29.039><c> were</c><00:15:29.179><c> crucified,</c><00:15:30.360><c> that's</c><00:15:30.659><c> the</c><00:15:30.840><c> cycle</c><00:15:31.059><c> you'd</c><00:15:31.299><c> go</c><00:15:31.480><c> through.</c>

00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.120
Horrendous<00:15:33.279><c> pain</c><00:15:33.679><c> from</c><00:15:33.879><c> the</c><00:15:34.100><c> cramping,</c><00:15:34.480><c> to</c><00:15:34.500><c> say</c><00:15:34.679><c> nothing</c><00:15:34.960><c> of</c>

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:35.759
having<00:15:35.299><c> been</c><00:15:35.559><c> beaten</c>

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.559
and<00:15:36.019><c> scourged</c><00:15:36.399><c> and</c><00:15:36.480><c> so</c><00:15:36.740><c> forth</c><00:15:37.039><c> beforehand.</c>

00:15:38.059 --> 00:15:41.799
But<00:15:38.159><c> just</c><00:15:38.379><c> horrendous</c><00:15:39.059><c> pain</c><00:15:39.740><c> from</c><00:15:40.379><c> the</c><00:15:40.879><c> cramps.</c>

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.320
You'd<00:15:42.220><c> be</c><00:15:42.419><c> suffocating</c><00:15:42.879><c> and</c><00:15:43.039><c> then</c><00:15:43.179><c> this</c><00:15:43.500><c> burst</c><00:15:43.779><c> of</c><00:15:44.019><c> pain</c><00:15:44.200><c> when</c>

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:45.279
you<00:15:44.559><c> jumped</c><00:15:44.720><c> up.</c>

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.240
And<00:15:45.399><c> then</c><00:15:45.519><c> you'd</c><00:15:45.740><c> cramp</c><00:15:45.879><c> up,</c><00:15:46.340><c> you'd</c><00:15:46.600><c> still</c><00:15:46.759><c> be</c><00:15:46.960><c> cramped</c><00:15:47.120><c> and</c>

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:47.659
you<00:15:47.299><c> couldn't</c><00:15:47.500><c> breathe</c>

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:49.419
and<00:15:47.740><c> you'd</c><00:15:47.980><c> just</c><00:15:48.100><c> go</c><00:15:48.240><c> through</c><00:15:48.419><c> this</c><00:15:48.620><c> cycle.</c>

00:15:49.419 --> 00:15:52.519
Sometimes<00:15:49.820><c> it</c><00:15:50.019><c> took</c><00:15:50.139><c> people</c><00:15:50.440><c> a</c><00:15:50.620><c> couple</c><00:15:50.799><c> of</c><00:15:50.980><c> days</c><00:15:51.179><c> before</c><00:15:51.440><c> they</c><00:15:51.679><c> died.</c>

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:55.799
But<00:15:53.500><c> the</c><00:15:53.720><c> actual</c><00:15:53.919><c> cause</c><00:15:54.159><c> of</c><00:15:54.360><c> death</c><00:15:54.539><c> was</c><00:15:55.120><c> asphyxiation.</c>

00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:57.580
Finally<00:15:56.120><c> they</c><00:15:56.179><c> get</c><00:15:56.299><c> to</c><00:15:56.419><c> the</c><00:15:56.539><c> point</c><00:15:56.639><c> where</c><00:15:56.779><c> they</c><00:15:56.960><c> just</c><00:15:57.299><c> had</c><00:15:57.460><c> run</c>

00:15:57.580 --> 00:15:58.200
out<00:15:57.740><c> of</c><00:15:57.919><c> oxygen</c>

00:15:58.200 --> 00:15:59.820
and<00:15:58.259><c> they</c><00:15:58.340><c> couldn't</c><00:15:58.600><c> breathe</c><00:15:58.899><c> anymore.</c>

00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.220
But<00:16:00.200><c> that's</c><00:16:00.460><c> why</c><00:16:00.759><c> sometimes</c><00:16:01.179><c> to</c><00:16:01.480><c> hasten</c><00:16:01.879><c> death,</c><00:16:02.799><c> what</c><00:16:02.980><c> they</c>

00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:03.779
would<00:16:03.399><c> do</c>

00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:06.100
is<00:16:04.120><c> they</c><00:16:04.259><c> would</c><00:16:04.460><c> break</c><00:16:04.740><c> a</c><00:16:04.899><c> prisoner's</c><00:16:05.320><c> legs.</c>

00:16:06.659 --> 00:16:08.600
The<00:16:07.059><c> guys</c><00:16:07.299><c> up</c><00:16:07.440><c> there</c><00:16:07.580><c> hanging</c><00:16:07.779><c> on</c><00:16:07.919><c> the</c><00:16:08.080><c> cross,</c><00:16:08.340><c> they'd</c><00:16:08.500><c> bring</c>

00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.059
a<00:16:08.799><c> club</c><00:16:08.899><c> up,</c>

00:16:09.059 --> 00:16:12.000

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.960
and<00:16:12.639><c> he</c><00:16:12.759><c> could</c><00:16:12.899><c> no</c><00:16:13.080><c> longer</c><00:16:13.279><c> push</c><00:16:13.539><c> himself</c><00:16:13.899><c> up.</c>

00:16:16.259 --> 00:16:19.500
Now<00:16:16.480><c> one</c><00:16:16.620><c> of</c><00:16:16.720><c> the</c><00:16:16.840><c> other</c><00:16:17.039><c> facts</c><00:16:17.279><c> that</c><00:16:17.419><c> the</c><00:16:17.559><c> Bible</c><00:16:17.740><c> says</c><00:16:18.139><c> is</c>

00:16:28.820 --> 00:16:30.460

a<00:16:30.580><c> hurry?</c>

00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:33.100
Right,<00:16:32.019><c> because</c><00:16:32.279><c> the</c><00:16:32.480><c> Sabbath</c><00:16:32.659><c> was</c><00:16:32.799><c> getting</c><00:16:32.960><c> ready.</c>

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.580
So<00:16:33.919><c> they</c><00:16:34.139><c> had</c><00:16:34.299><c> a</c><00:16:34.440><c> religious</c><00:16:34.700><c> reason.</c>

00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:40.200
So<00:16:37.019><c> the</c><00:16:37.460><c> Bible</c><00:16:37.879><c> claims</c>

00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.600
that<00:16:41.120><c> the</c><00:16:41.340><c> soldiers</c><00:16:41.679><c> went</c><00:16:42.080><c> and</c><00:16:42.559><c> they</c><00:16:42.759><c> broke</c><00:16:42.940><c> the</c><00:16:43.139><c> legs</c><00:16:43.299><c> of</c><00:16:43.480><c> the</c>

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:44.399
two<00:16:43.740><c> other</c><00:16:43.980><c> people</c>

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.139
but<00:16:44.740><c> they</c><00:16:45.039><c> didn't</c><00:16:45.299><c> break</c><00:16:45.620><c> the</c><00:16:45.840><c> legs</c><00:16:46.000><c> of</c><00:16:46.200><c> Jesus.</c>

00:16:47.620 --> 00:16:49.000
Why<00:16:48.059><c> not?</c>

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.000
Because<00:16:50.080><c> he</c><00:16:50.179><c> was</c><00:16:50.379><c> already</c><00:16:50.659><c> dead.</c>

00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.139
Now<00:16:51.500><c> here's</c><00:16:51.759><c> my</c><00:16:51.940><c> point.</c>

00:16:53.860 --> 00:16:56.740
The<00:16:53.960><c> Jews</c><00:16:54.179><c> again</c><00:16:54.480><c> have</c><00:16:54.679><c> never</c><00:16:54.960><c> contested</c><00:16:55.539><c> that</c>

00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:59.860
Jesus'<00:16:57.279><c> legs</c><00:16:57.480><c> were</c><00:16:57.700><c> broken</c><00:16:58.019><c> or</c><00:16:58.220><c> that</c><00:16:58.360><c> they</c><00:16:58.559><c> weren't</c><00:16:58.740><c> broken.</c>

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.220
That's<00:17:01.440><c> never</c><00:17:01.659><c> been</c><00:17:01.879><c> contested.</c>

00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:06.279
But<00:17:03.700><c> the</c><00:17:03.899><c> point</c><00:17:04.039><c> is</c><00:17:04.259><c> here</c><00:17:04.480><c> too,</c><00:17:05.000><c> those</c><00:17:05.279><c> soldiers</c><00:17:05.660><c> had</c><00:17:05.900><c> a</c><00:17:06.039><c> duty.</c>

00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.160
They<00:17:06.700><c> were</c><00:17:06.880><c> to</c><00:17:07.039><c> make</c><00:17:07.220><c> sure</c><00:17:07.420><c> that</c><00:17:07.579><c> the</c><00:17:07.740><c> people</c><00:17:07.900><c> who</c><00:17:08.059><c> were</c><00:17:08.259><c> crucified</c><00:17:08.839><c> were</c><00:17:09.240><c> dead.</c>

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:13.619
Two<00:17:10.940><c> people</c><00:17:11.160><c> were</c><00:17:11.339><c> still</c><00:17:11.579><c> alive</c><00:17:12.000><c> so</c><00:17:12.220><c> they</c><00:17:12.400><c> broke</c><00:17:12.559><c> their</c><00:17:12.799><c> legs.</c>

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.839
Professional<00:17:14.400><c> soldiers</c>

00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.200
looked<00:17:15.200><c> at</c><00:17:15.359><c> Jesus</c><00:17:15.720><c> of</c><00:17:15.900><c> Nazareth</c><00:17:16.200><c> on</c><00:17:16.359><c> the</c><00:17:16.559><c> cross</c><00:17:16.759><c> and</c><00:17:16.960><c> said,</c>

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.920
we<00:17:17.500><c> don't</c><00:17:17.740><c> need</c><00:17:18.000><c> to</c><00:17:18.160><c> break</c><00:17:18.279><c> his</c><00:17:18.519><c> legs</c><00:17:18.980><c> because</c><00:17:19.599><c> he's</c><00:17:19.839><c> already</c><00:17:20.180><c> dead.</c>

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:25.480
They<00:17:22.640><c> did</c><00:17:22.759><c> one</c><00:17:22.940><c> more</c><00:17:23.220><c> thing</c><00:17:23.539><c> to</c><00:17:23.740><c> make</c><00:17:23.940><c> sure.</c>

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:26.819
Spear<00:17:26.140><c> in</c><00:17:26.240><c> the</c><00:17:26.400><c> side.</c>

00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:28.440
It's<00:17:27.140><c> recorded</c><00:17:27.380><c> by</c><00:17:27.599><c> John.</c>

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:32.319
And<00:17:28.740><c> when</c><00:17:29.059><c> they</c><00:17:29.480><c> stuck</c><00:17:29.619><c> the</c><00:17:29.900><c> spear</c><00:17:30.119><c> in</c><00:17:30.259><c> his</c><00:17:30.519><c> side</c><00:17:30.779><c> what</c><00:17:31.019><c> came</c><00:17:31.319><c> out?</c>

00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.859
Right.

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:36.759
The<00:17:34.359><c> water</c><00:17:34.579><c> and</c><00:17:34.759><c> blood</c><00:17:34.920><c> had</c><00:17:35.119><c> already</c><00:17:35.359><c> begun</c><00:17:35.559><c> to</c><00:17:35.859><c> separate.</c>

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.920
He'd<00:17:39.480><c> been</c><00:17:39.599><c> dead</c><00:17:39.779><c> for</c><00:17:40.059><c> some</c><00:17:40.279><c> time.</c>

00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:44.880
The<00:17:43.599><c> reason</c><00:17:43.900><c> I'm</c><00:17:44.079><c> bringing</c><00:17:44.339><c> this</c><00:17:44.579><c> stuff</c><00:17:44.700><c> up</c>

00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.460
is<00:17:45.220><c> because</c><00:17:45.220><c> there</c><00:17:45.420><c> are</c><00:17:45.619><c> some</c><00:17:45.799><c> people</c><00:17:46.000><c> who</c><00:17:46.299><c> claim</c><00:17:46.559><c> that,</c><00:17:46.960><c> well,</c>

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:49.680
they<00:17:48.200><c> thought</c><00:17:48.480><c> he</c><00:17:48.599><c> was</c><00:17:48.839><c> dead.</c>

00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.359
They<00:17:50.700><c> buried</c><00:17:51.039><c> him.</c><00:17:51.599><c> They</c><00:17:51.839><c> put</c><00:17:52.000><c> him</c><00:17:52.099><c> in</c><00:17:52.200><c> this</c><00:17:52.480><c> cave.</c><00:17:52.720><c> They</c><00:17:52.900><c> wrapped</c><00:17:53.099><c> him</c><00:17:53.259><c> up.</c>

00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:56.420
They<00:17:53.519><c> all</c><00:17:53.700><c> thought</c><00:17:53.859><c> he</c><00:17:54.000><c> was</c><00:17:54.180><c> dead.</c><00:17:54.660><c> A</c><00:17:54.839><c> couple</c><00:17:54.960><c> days</c><00:17:55.200><c> later,</c>

00:17:56.539 --> 00:17:59.440
Shazam!<00:17:57.440><c> He</c><00:17:57.660><c> was</c><00:17:57.839><c> better.</c><00:17:58.240><c> He</c><00:17:58.380><c> was</c><00:17:58.579><c> feeling</c><00:17:58.779><c> a</c><00:17:58.900><c> little</c><00:17:59.059><c> bit</c><00:17:59.259><c> better.</c>

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:02.160
So<00:17:59.619><c> he</c><00:17:59.740><c> got</c><00:17:59.960><c> up,</c><00:18:00.660><c> took</c><00:18:00.819><c> the</c><00:18:01.059><c> grave</c><00:18:01.279><c> clothes</c><00:18:01.579><c> off,</c>

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.079
and<00:18:02.799><c> walked</c><00:18:03.019><c> away.</c>

00:18:05.579 --> 00:18:08.039
And<00:18:05.900><c> then</c><00:18:06.019><c> he</c><00:18:06.119><c> was</c><00:18:06.279><c> going</c><00:18:06.500><c> around</c><00:18:06.880><c> talking</c><00:18:07.240><c> to</c><00:18:07.400><c> his</c><00:18:07.539><c> disciples</c>

00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.039
and<00:18:08.440><c> they</c><00:18:08.640><c> thought,</c><00:18:08.799><c> wow,</c><00:18:09.359><c> you've</c><00:18:09.779><c> been</c><00:18:10.019><c> risen</c><00:18:10.180><c> from</c><00:18:10.420><c> the</c><00:18:10.579><c> dead.</c><00:18:10.700><c> This</c><00:18:10.900><c> is</c><00:18:11.079><c> wonderful.</c>

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:14.460
Well,<00:18:13.259><c> that's</c><00:18:13.380><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:18:14.819 --> 00:18:17.599
Professional<00:18:15.200><c> soldiers</c><00:18:15.680><c> thought</c><00:18:15.960><c> he</c><00:18:16.140><c> was</c><00:18:16.759><c> dead.</c>

00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.099
The<00:18:18.940><c> description</c><00:18:19.480><c> of</c><00:18:19.720><c> blood</c><00:18:20.000><c> coming</c><00:18:20.259><c> out</c><00:18:20.500><c> with</c><00:18:20.700><c> water</c>

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:25.559
indicates<00:18:21.740><c> that</c><00:18:22.420><c> absolutely</c><00:18:23.019><c> he</c><00:18:24.160><c> was</c><00:18:24.420><c> dead.</c>

00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:28.799
And<00:18:27.059><c> even</c><00:18:27.299><c> if</c><00:18:27.579><c> it</c><00:18:27.700><c> was</c><00:18:27.960><c> somehow</c><00:18:28.279><c> possible</c>

00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:30.339
that<00:18:28.940><c> he</c><00:18:29.039><c> could</c><00:18:29.180><c> get</c><00:18:29.359><c> better</c><00:18:29.599><c> after</c><00:18:29.900><c> all</c><00:18:30.140><c> this,</c>

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:31.980
he<00:18:30.680><c> couldn't</c><00:18:30.980><c> walk.</c>

00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:34.599
There<00:18:33.160><c> had</c><00:18:33.339><c> been</c><00:18:33.460><c> a</c><00:18:33.660><c> bone</c><00:18:33.859><c> through</c><00:18:34.079><c> his</c><00:18:34.359><c> ankles</c>

00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.759
that<00:18:34.799><c> had</c><00:18:35.019><c> destroyed</c><00:18:35.640><c> the</c><00:18:36.059><c> bones</c><00:18:36.339><c> in</c><00:18:36.500><c> his</c><00:18:36.700><c> ankles.</c>

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:40.160
Okay.

00:18:41.339 --> 00:18:43.759
That's<00:18:41.539><c> why</c><00:18:41.700><c> it's</c><00:18:41.940><c> necessary</c><00:18:42.259><c> to</c><00:18:42.480><c> address</c><00:18:42.680><c> the</c><00:18:42.920><c> fact</c><00:18:43.059><c> that</c><00:18:43.240><c> Jesus</c>

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.920
really<00:18:44.539><c> did</c><00:18:44.859><c> die.</c>

00:18:46.539 --> 00:18:49.259
And<00:18:46.720><c> again,</c><00:18:46.920><c> this</c><00:18:47.079><c> idea</c><00:18:47.380><c> that</c><00:18:47.519><c> he</c><00:18:47.700><c> was</c><00:18:47.980><c> buried</c>

00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:53.279
has<00:18:50.460><c> never</c><00:18:50.660><c> been</c><00:18:50.940><c> contested</c><00:18:52.000><c> by</c><00:18:52.359><c> the</c><00:18:52.559><c> Jews.</c>

00:18:55.619 --> 00:18:56.859
What,<00:18:56.079><c> by</c><00:18:56.240><c> the</c><00:18:56.400><c> way,</c>

00:18:57.339 --> 00:18:59.960
has<00:18:57.539><c> been</c><00:18:57.920><c> the</c><00:18:58.220><c> argument</c><00:18:58.480><c> that</c><00:18:58.660><c> the</c><00:18:58.799><c> Jews</c><00:18:58.960><c> have</c><00:18:59.200><c> used?</c>

00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.319
What's<00:19:04.039><c> the</c><00:19:04.200><c> argument</c><00:19:04.400><c> that</c><00:19:04.599><c> the</c><00:19:04.740><c> Jews</c><00:19:04.920><c> have</c><00:19:05.160><c> used</c>

00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:08.279
to<00:19:05.559><c> say</c><00:19:05.759><c> why</c><00:19:05.980><c> they</c><00:19:06.180><c> can't</c><00:19:06.500><c> produce</c><00:19:06.740><c> the</c><00:19:06.900><c> body</c><00:19:07.140><c> of</c><00:19:07.299><c> Jesus?</c>

00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.279

00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:19.400
Is<00:19:17.680><c> the</c><00:19:17.900><c> argument</c><00:19:18.180><c> that's</c><00:19:18.599><c> used.</c>

00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:22.859
That's<00:19:21.859><c> important.</c>

00:19:24.259 --> 00:19:26.220
Is<00:19:24.799><c> there</c><00:19:24.980><c> anybody</c><00:19:25.220><c> who's</c><00:19:25.599><c> not</c><00:19:25.859><c> familiar</c>

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:30.880
I<00:19:29.079><c> think</c><00:19:29.279><c> everybody</c><00:19:29.640><c> is,</c><00:19:29.960><c> right?</c>

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.619
What's<00:19:32.279><c> his</c><00:19:32.640><c> defense?</c>

00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:36.640
I'm<00:19:35.839><c> totally</c><00:19:36.200><c> innocent.</c>

00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:38.500
I<00:19:36.839><c> was</c><00:19:37.099><c> at</c><00:19:37.400><c> home,</c><00:19:37.700><c> I</c><00:19:37.819><c> was</c><00:19:37.980><c> getting</c><00:19:38.180><c> ready</c>

00:19:42.779 --> 00:19:44.279
That's<00:19:43.140><c> his</c><00:19:43.319><c> defense.</c>

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:46.940
If<00:19:44.740><c> two</c><00:19:44.900><c> weeks</c><00:19:45.119><c> from</c><00:19:45.279><c> now</c><00:19:45.440><c> he</c><00:19:45.599><c> changes</c><00:19:45.980><c> it</c><00:19:46.160><c> and</c><00:19:46.259><c> says,</c>

00:19:49.380 --> 00:19:51.500
well,<00:19:49.740><c> actually</c><00:19:50.099><c> I'm</c><00:19:50.319><c> not</c><00:19:50.579><c> guilty</c>

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:53.460
because<00:19:52.700><c> of</c><00:19:53.059><c> whatever.</c>

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:55.420
You<00:19:53.880><c> go,</c><00:19:54.039><c> wait</c><00:19:54.180><c> a</c><00:19:54.359><c> second,</c><00:19:54.559><c> whoa,</c><00:19:54.799><c> whoa,</c><00:19:54.960><c> whoa,</c><00:19:55.119><c> whoa,</c><00:19:55.240><c> whoa.</c>

00:19:55.420 --> 00:19:59.019
You<00:19:55.500><c> can</c><00:19:56.019><c> make</c><00:19:56.480><c> one</c><00:19:56.880><c> defense,</c><00:19:58.000><c> and</c><00:19:58.279><c> that's</c><00:19:58.480><c> your</c><00:19:58.619><c> defense.</c>

00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:01.559
Now<00:19:59.339><c> I</c><00:19:59.380><c> don't,</c><00:20:00.079><c> I'm</c><00:20:00.359><c> not</c><00:20:00.559><c> trying</c><00:20:00.759><c> to</c><00:20:01.259><c> digress</c>

00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:03.660
into<00:20:01.779><c> whether</c><00:20:02.319><c> O</c><00:20:02.539><c>.J.</c><00:20:02.740><c> Simpson</c><00:20:02.940><c> did</c><00:20:03.220><c> it</c><00:20:03.359><c> or</c><00:20:03.420><c> not</c>

00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:07.940
But<00:20:05.539><c> the</c><00:20:05.759><c> point</c><00:20:05.920><c> is</c><00:20:06.519><c> that</c><00:20:07.140><c> consistently</c>

00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:10.619
the<00:20:08.579><c> Jews'</c><00:20:09.039><c> argument</c><00:20:09.259><c> has</c><00:20:09.599><c> always</c><00:20:10.119><c> been</c>

00:20:10.619 --> 00:20:14.019
the<00:20:11.099><c> disciples</c><00:20:11.799><c> stole</c><00:20:12.660><c> the</c><00:20:13.119><c> body.</c>

00:20:16.180 --> 00:20:19.740
If<00:20:16.660><c> they</c><00:20:16.900><c> had</c><00:20:17.180><c> claimed,</c><00:20:18.500><c> let's</c><00:20:19.059><c> assume</c><00:20:19.299><c> for</c><00:20:19.519><c> a</c><00:20:19.559><c> second,</c>

00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.180
that<00:20:20.119><c> Jesus</c><00:20:20.539><c> actually</c><00:20:21.000><c> wasn't</c><00:20:21.299><c> buried.</c>

00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:23.940
They<00:20:23.000><c> would</c><00:20:23.180><c> have</c><00:20:23.299><c> said</c><00:20:23.519><c> so.</c>

00:20:24.220 --> 00:20:27.339
They<00:20:24.319><c> wouldn't</c><00:20:24.579><c> make</c><00:20:24.819><c> a</c><00:20:25.000><c> stupid</c><00:20:25.240><c> claim</c><00:20:25.519><c> like,</c><00:20:25.740><c> well,</c><00:20:26.099><c> the</c><00:20:26.240><c> disciples</c><00:20:26.619><c> stole</c><00:20:26.880><c> the</c><00:20:27.099><c> body.</c>

00:20:27.619 --> 00:20:29.779
If<00:20:27.799><c> they</c><00:20:27.960><c> could</c><00:20:28.099><c> very</c><00:20:28.380><c> easily</c><00:20:28.660><c> say,</c><00:20:29.220><c> well,</c><00:20:29.359><c> that's</c><00:20:29.500><c> not</c><00:20:29.640><c> where</c>

00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:30.259
he<00:20:29.839><c> was</c><00:20:30.039><c> buried.</c>

00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:32.779
He<00:20:30.420><c> was</c><00:20:30.640><c> buried</c><00:20:30.839><c> over</c><00:20:31.099><c> here.</c><00:20:31.400><c> See,</c><00:20:31.579><c> here's</c><00:20:31.839><c> the</c><00:20:32.000><c> body.</c>

00:20:33.299 --> 00:20:36.380
To<00:20:33.539><c> say</c><00:20:33.700><c> that</c><00:20:33.900><c> the</c><00:20:34.079><c> disciples</c><00:20:34.539><c> stole</c><00:20:34.880><c> the</c><00:20:35.140><c> body</c><00:20:35.539><c> is</c><00:20:35.940><c> the</c><00:20:36.099><c> defense</c>

00:20:36.380 --> 00:20:40.420
that<00:20:36.559><c> has</c><00:20:36.660><c> been</c><00:20:36.859><c> taken</c><00:20:37.140><c> since</c><00:20:37.619><c> that</c><00:20:38.259><c> time</c><00:20:38.640><c> very</c><00:20:39.079><c> early</c><00:20:39.420><c> on.</c>

00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.480
The<00:20:41.319><c> question</c><00:20:41.700><c> is,</c><00:20:41.980><c> where</c><00:20:42.220><c> was</c><00:20:42.460><c> the</c><00:20:42.660><c> body?</c>

00:20:45.299 --> 00:20:46.839
The<00:20:45.779><c> other</c><00:20:46.059><c> important</c><00:20:46.519><c> fact</c>

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:48.799
that<00:20:47.119><c> the</c><00:20:47.319><c> Jews</c><00:20:47.480><c> have</c><00:20:47.700><c> not</c><00:20:47.920><c> contested</c>

00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:51.279
is<00:20:48.839><c> the</c><00:20:49.140><c> fact</c><00:20:49.420><c> that</c><00:20:49.640><c> the</c><00:20:49.839><c> tomb</c><00:20:50.039><c> was</c><00:20:50.359><c> guarded.</c>

00:20:53.259 --> 00:20:54.599
Now<00:20:53.440><c> there's</c><00:20:53.640><c> a</c><00:20:53.740><c> little</c><00:20:53.900><c> bit</c><00:20:54.059><c> of</c><00:20:54.240><c> disagreement</c>

00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.000
about<00:20:54.940><c> whether</c><00:20:55.180><c> it</c><00:20:55.380><c> was</c><00:20:55.740><c> a</c><00:20:55.920><c> set</c><00:20:56.059><c> of</c><00:20:56.339><c> Jewish</c><00:20:56.559><c> guards</c>

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.359
or<00:20:57.180><c> a</c><00:20:57.319><c> set</c><00:20:57.400><c> of</c><00:20:57.640><c> Roman</c><00:20:57.859><c> guards.</c><00:20:58.200><c> Personally,</c><00:20:58.559><c> I'm</c><00:20:59.059><c> inclined</c><00:20:59.220><c> to</c>

00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:00.400
think<00:20:59.440><c> it</c><00:20:59.579><c> was</c><00:20:59.700><c> the</c><00:20:59.880><c> Jewish</c><00:21:00.079><c> guards.</c>

00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.839
But<00:21:00.980><c> either</c><00:21:01.220><c> way,</c><00:21:01.880><c> there</c><00:21:01.960><c> was</c><00:21:02.200><c> very</c>

00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.000
severe<00:21:04.920><c> ramifications</c><00:21:05.319><c> if</c><00:21:05.539><c> you</c><00:21:05.720><c> failed</c><00:21:05.880><c> in</c><00:21:06.000><c> your</c><00:21:06.180><c> duty.</c>

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:09.059
Probably<00:21:07.980><c> all</c><00:21:08.220><c> of</c><00:21:08.319><c> you</c><00:21:08.380><c> know</c><00:21:08.500><c> this</c><00:21:08.660><c> already.</c>

00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:11.880
If<00:21:09.640><c> you</c><00:21:09.859><c> were</c><00:21:10.000><c> a</c><00:21:10.140><c> Roman</c><00:21:10.359><c> guard</c><00:21:10.859><c> and</c><00:21:11.200><c> you</c><00:21:11.420><c> failed</c><00:21:11.599><c> to</c><00:21:11.779><c> guard</c>

00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:12.480
your<00:21:12.079><c> prisoner,</c>

00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:15.720
in<00:21:12.740><c> this</c><00:21:12.920><c> case</c><00:21:13.099><c> a</c><00:21:13.180><c> dead</c><00:21:13.420><c> prisoner,</c><00:21:14.180><c> what</c><00:21:14.339><c> would</c><00:21:14.519><c> happen</c><00:21:14.720><c> to</c><00:21:14.940><c> you?</c>

00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:17.500
You<00:21:16.480><c> got</c><00:21:16.700><c> killed.</c>

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.519
Now,<00:21:18.619><c> maybe</c><00:21:18.900><c> it's</c><00:21:19.039><c> something</c><00:21:19.220><c> that's</c><00:21:19.559><c> less</c><00:21:19.779><c> common</c><00:21:20.099><c> knowledge</c>

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.240
for<00:21:21.000><c> the</c><00:21:21.259><c> Jewish</c><00:21:21.519><c> guards,</c><00:21:21.920><c> which</c><00:21:22.079><c> would</c><00:21:22.200><c> be</c><00:21:22.339><c> the</c><00:21:22.579><c> temple</c><00:21:22.880><c> guards.</c>

00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:26.660
If<00:21:23.680><c> they</c><00:21:23.880><c> were</c><00:21:24.019><c> caught</c><00:21:24.200><c> sleeping</c><00:21:24.519><c> on</c><00:21:24.720><c> the</c><00:21:24.880><c> job,</c><00:21:25.059><c> you</c><00:21:25.140><c> know</c><00:21:25.220><c> what</c><00:21:25.279><c> would</c><00:21:25.500><c> routinely</c><00:21:25.799><c> happen</c><00:21:26.140><c> to</c><00:21:26.279><c> them?</c>

00:21:26.900 --> 00:21:28.700
How<00:21:27.099><c> they'd</c><00:21:27.319><c> get</c><00:21:27.440><c> woken</c><00:21:27.660><c> up?</c>

00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:31.700
Their<00:21:29.920><c> clothing</c><00:21:30.180><c> would</c><00:21:30.339><c> be</c><00:21:30.500><c> set</c><00:21:30.599><c> on</c><00:21:30.799><c> fire.</c>

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.799
I<00:21:34.180><c> don't</c><00:21:34.339><c> think</c><00:21:34.500><c> OSHA</c><00:21:34.640><c> was</c><00:21:34.880><c> around</c><00:21:35.099><c> back</c><00:21:35.400><c> then</c><00:21:35.559><c> or</c><00:21:35.980><c> unions.</c>

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:39.200

00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:54.920
So<00:22:53.079><c> they</c><00:22:53.240><c> took</c><00:22:53.420><c> the</c><00:22:53.599><c> money</c><00:22:53.759><c> and</c><00:22:53.920><c> did</c><00:22:54.000><c> as</c><00:22:54.119><c> they</c><00:22:54.299><c> were</c><00:22:54.500><c> instructed.</c>

00:22:58.380 --> 00:22:59.680
There's<00:22:58.599><c> two</c><00:22:58.759><c> things</c><00:22:58.920><c> I</c><00:22:59.059><c> want</c><00:22:59.160><c> you</c><00:22:59.299><c> to</c><00:22:59.460><c> know.</c>

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:04.940
This<00:23:02.119><c> saying</c><00:23:02.480><c> is</c><00:23:02.940><c> commonly</c><00:23:03.380><c> reported</c><00:23:04.000><c> among</c><00:23:04.319><c> the</c><00:23:04.579><c> Jews</c><00:23:04.740><c> to</c>

this<00:23:05.180><c> day.</c>

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:08.339
And<00:23:06.039><c> that's</c><00:23:06.339><c> true.</c><00:23:07.079><c> If</c><00:23:07.259><c> you</c><00:23:07.420><c> want</c><00:23:07.559><c> to</c><00:23:07.619><c> look</c><00:23:07.720><c> at</c><00:23:07.900><c> some</c><00:23:08.099><c> early</c>

00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.859
That<00:23:10.259><c> they</c><00:23:10.500><c> say</c><00:23:10.839><c> one</c><00:23:11.240><c> of</c><00:23:11.359><c> the</c><00:23:11.460><c> reasons</c><00:23:11.759><c> why</c><00:23:12.079><c> Jesus</c><00:23:12.400><c> is</c><00:23:12.599><c> not</c><00:23:12.740><c> the</c>

00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:19.480
The<00:23:18.140><c> disciples</c><00:23:18.619><c> stole</c><00:23:18.960><c> the</c><00:23:19.200><c> body.</c>

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:21.640
But<00:23:20.019><c> here's</c><00:23:20.259><c> the</c><00:23:20.420><c> interesting</c><00:23:20.700><c> thing.</c>

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:24.759
Do<00:23:22.099><c> you</c><00:23:22.140><c> notice</c><00:23:22.359><c> the</c><00:23:22.680><c> alibi</c><00:23:23.039><c> it</c><00:23:23.259><c> says</c><00:23:23.400><c> in</c><00:23:23.539><c> verse</c><00:23:23.759><c> 13?</c>

00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:38.240
Suppose<00:23:36.759><c> there's</c><00:23:37.019><c> a</c><00:23:37.200><c> burglary</c><00:23:37.559><c> at</c><00:23:37.680><c> my</c><00:23:37.960><c> house</c>

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:51.240
So<00:23:49.680><c> I</c><00:23:49.759><c> call</c><00:23:49.920><c> the</c><00:23:50.140><c> police</c><00:23:50.359><c> over.</c>

00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:55.160

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:57.960
And<00:23:55.420><c> I</c><00:23:55.599><c> say,</c><00:23:56.259><c> Alan</c><00:23:56.420><c> stole</c><00:23:56.680><c> my</c><00:23:56.920><c> TV</c><00:23:57.220><c> set.</c>

00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:00.359
What's<00:23:58.720><c> the</c><00:23:58.859><c> problem</c><00:23:59.099><c> with</c><00:23:59.339><c> that?</c>

00:24:01.019 --> 00:24:03.460
How<00:24:01.539><c> do</c><00:24:01.680><c> you</c><00:24:01.819><c> know</c><00:24:01.980><c> who</c><00:24:02.180><c> did</c><00:24:02.380><c> it?</c>

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:08.460
If<00:24:04.799><c> I</c><00:24:05.000><c> had</c><00:24:05.180><c> said,</c><00:24:05.500><c> somebody</c><00:24:05.960><c> stole</c><00:24:06.279><c> my</c><00:24:06.579><c> TV</c><00:24:06.880><c> set</c><00:24:07.099><c> while</c><00:24:07.319><c> I</c><00:24:07.420><c> was</c><00:24:07.559><c> asleep,</c>

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:10.500
I<00:24:08.759><c> think</c><00:24:08.980><c> maybe</c><00:24:09.299><c> it</c><00:24:09.460><c> was</c><00:24:09.700><c> Alan.</c>

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:11.960
That's<00:24:11.339><c> one</c><00:24:11.579><c> thing.</c>

00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.740

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:17.619
is<00:24:16.200><c> ridiculousness.</c>

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:20.539
What<00:24:17.900><c> does</c><00:24:18.079><c> verse</c><00:24:18.339><c> 13</c><00:24:18.759><c> in</c><00:24:18.900><c> Matthew</c><00:24:19.160><c> 28</c><00:24:19.619><c> say?</c>

00:24:21.900 --> 00:24:25.299
The<00:24:22.099><c> disciples</c><00:24:22.819><c> stole</c><00:24:23.299><c> the</c><00:24:23.559><c> body</c><00:24:23.920><c> while</c><00:24:24.200><c> we</c><00:24:24.480><c> slept.</c>

00:24:25.420 --> 00:24:27.119
Well,<00:24:25.640><c> you</c><00:24:25.819><c> idiots,</c><00:24:26.359><c> if</c><00:24:26.519><c> you</c><00:24:26.700><c> were</c><00:24:26.880><c> asleep,</c>

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:29.119
then<00:24:27.240><c> how</c><00:24:27.420><c> do</c><00:24:27.579><c> you</c><00:24:27.599><c> know</c><00:24:27.700><c> who</c><00:24:27.920><c> stole</c><00:24:28.119><c> the</c><00:24:28.319><c> body?</c>

00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.259
And<00:24:30.500><c> the</c><00:24:30.700><c> funny</c><00:24:30.880><c> thing</c><00:24:31.220><c> is</c><00:24:31.779><c> that</c><00:24:32.079><c> what</c><00:24:32.200><c> he</c><00:24:32.380><c> says</c><00:24:32.500><c> in</c><00:24:32.640><c> verse</c><00:24:32.880><c> 15</c>

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:35.700
about<00:24:33.539><c> this</c><00:24:33.839><c> saying</c><00:24:34.099><c> is</c><00:24:34.339><c> commonly</c><00:24:34.700><c> reported</c><00:24:35.099><c> among</c><00:24:35.339><c> the</c><00:24:35.559><c> Jews</c>

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:36.500
to<00:24:35.900><c> this</c><00:24:36.119><c> day</c>

00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:38.099
is<00:24:36.960><c> true.</c>

00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:42.119
That's<00:24:39.799><c> the</c><00:24:40.079><c> claim</c><00:24:40.440><c> that</c><00:24:40.880><c> the</c><00:24:41.099><c> Jewish</c><00:24:41.339><c> leaders</c><00:24:41.720><c> made</c>

00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:44.220
about<00:24:42.440><c> why</c><00:24:42.799><c> the</c><00:24:42.940><c> body</c><00:24:43.200><c> was</c><00:24:43.440><c> missing.</c>

00:24:47.779 --> 00:24:49.160
So<00:24:47.960><c> the</c><00:24:48.119><c> facts</c><00:24:48.319><c> that</c><00:24:48.519><c> we</c><00:24:48.700><c> have</c><00:24:48.880><c> are</c>

00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.220
that<00:24:49.299><c> Jesus</c><00:24:49.640><c> existed,</c><00:24:50.819><c> that</c><00:24:51.140><c> he</c><00:24:51.299><c> was</c><00:24:51.579><c> crucified</c>

00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:54.779
under<00:24:52.480><c> Pacha's</c><00:24:53.059><c> pilot</c><00:24:53.299><c> during</c><00:24:53.579><c> the</c><00:24:53.720><c> reign</c><00:24:53.839><c> of</c><00:24:54.019><c> Tiberius,</c>

00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:58.059
that<00:24:56.119><c> he</c><00:24:56.279><c> really</c><00:24:56.619><c> did</c><00:24:56.940><c> die,</c>

00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:00.220
that<00:24:58.720><c> he</c><00:24:58.900><c> was</c><00:24:59.180><c> buried</c>

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.920
and<00:25:00.319><c> his</c><00:25:00.619><c> tomb</c><00:25:00.759><c> was</c><00:25:00.940><c> put</c><00:25:01.059><c> under</c><00:25:01.339><c> guard,</c>

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.660
that<00:25:04.559><c> the</c><00:25:04.779><c> body</c><00:25:05.019><c> went</c><00:25:05.339><c> somewhere,</c>

00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:10.359
and<00:25:09.799><c> that</c><00:25:09.940><c> this</c><00:25:10.160><c> claim</c>

00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:12.220
that<00:25:10.539><c> the</c><00:25:10.640><c> disciples</c><00:25:11.099><c> stole</c><00:25:11.420><c> the</c><00:25:11.640><c> body</c>

00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:16.140
is<00:25:13.319><c> of</c><00:25:13.559><c> itself</c><00:25:14.119><c> ridiculousness.</c>

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:22.440
There's<00:25:21.599><c> one</c><00:25:21.859><c> conclusion</c>

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.380
that<00:25:23.440><c> comes</c><00:25:23.700><c> from</c><00:25:23.920><c> all</c><00:25:24.119><c> of</c><00:25:24.259><c> this.</c>

00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:29.119
That<00:25:26.420><c> Jesus</c><00:25:26.819><c> rose</c><00:25:27.119><c> from</c><00:25:27.319><c> the</c><00:25:27.460><c> dead.</c>

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:31.339
Fact.

00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:34.559
Undeniable<00:25:33.539><c> fact.</c>

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.359
That<00:25:37.160><c> this</c><00:25:37.380><c> man</c><00:25:37.599><c> named</c><00:25:37.779><c> Jesus</c><00:25:38.140><c> of</c><00:25:38.359><c> Nazareth,</c>

who<00:25:39.619><c> was</c><00:25:40.359><c> what</c><00:25:41.319><c> we</c><00:25:41.500><c> might</c><00:25:41.619><c> call</c>

00:25:41.859 --> 00:25:44.799
an<00:25:42.059><c> itinerant</c><00:25:42.500><c> preacher</c><00:25:42.859><c> 2</c><00:25:43.180><c>,000</c><00:25:43.460><c> years</c><00:25:43.700><c> ago,</c>

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.539
Claimed<00:25:47.420><c> things</c><00:25:47.700><c> like</c><00:25:47.960><c> repent</c><00:25:48.400><c> for</c><00:25:48.559><c> the</c><00:25:48.720><c> kingdom</c><00:25:48.940><c> of</c><00:25:49.160><c> God</c><00:25:49.359><c> is</c>

00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:50.039
at<00:25:49.740><c> hand,</c>

00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:52.500
similar<00:25:50.559><c> to</c><00:25:50.740><c> what</c><00:25:50.920><c> Paul</c><00:25:51.140><c> said</c><00:25:51.339><c> in</c><00:25:51.539><c> Acts</c><00:25:51.720><c> chapter</c><00:25:52.039><c> 17</c>

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:54.180
to<00:25:52.720><c> the</c><00:25:52.859><c> people</c><00:25:53.039><c> of</c><00:25:53.299><c> Athens.</c>

00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:59.720
He<00:25:56.559><c> said,</c><00:25:56.740><c> I</c><00:25:56.740><c> can</c><00:25:56.980><c> back</c><00:25:57.220><c> it</c><00:25:57.400><c> up</c><00:25:57.920><c> by</c><00:25:58.200><c> raising</c><00:25:58.480><c> from</c><00:25:58.700><c> the</c><00:25:58.859><c> dead.</c>

00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.339
And<00:26:00.660><c> fact,</c><00:26:01.859><c> he</c><00:26:02.000><c> rose</c><00:26:02.180><c> from</c><00:26:02.380><c> the</c><00:26:02.539><c> dead.</c>

00:26:06.299 --> 00:26:08.140
To<00:26:06.440><c> me,</c><00:26:06.700><c> that</c><00:26:06.839><c> is</c><00:26:07.039><c> the</c><00:26:07.140><c> most</c><00:26:07.579><c> important</c>

00:26:08.140 --> 00:26:09.940
event<00:26:08.519><c> in</c><00:26:08.759><c> human</c><00:26:08.960><c> history.</c>

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:13.319
Interestingly,<00:26:11.740><c> there's</c><00:26:11.940><c> a</c><00:26:12.079><c> couple</c><00:26:12.240><c> of</c><00:26:12.460><c> other</c><00:26:12.619><c> things</c><00:26:12.880><c> that</c>

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:14.059
demonstrate<00:26:13.799><c> this.</c>

00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:17.740
First<00:26:14.359><c> of</c><00:26:14.579><c> all,</c><00:26:15.400><c> what</c><00:26:15.519><c> day</c><00:26:15.700><c> of</c><00:26:15.799><c> the</c><00:26:15.900><c> week</c><00:26:16.039><c> does</c><00:26:16.240><c> Sabbath</c><00:26:16.539><c> come</c><00:26:16.799><c> on?</c>

00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:18.940
Saturday,<00:26:18.640><c> right?</c>

00:26:19.259 --> 00:26:21.279
Now<00:26:19.460><c> technically,</c><00:26:19.819><c> it</c><00:26:20.000><c> begins</c><00:26:20.279><c> Friday</c><00:26:20.579><c> night,</c><00:26:20.839><c> because</c><00:26:21.079><c> the</c>

00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:23.660
Jewish<00:26:21.480><c> days</c><00:26:21.720><c> go</c><00:26:21.940><c> from</c><00:26:22.180><c> sunset</c><00:26:22.539><c> to</c><00:26:22.759><c> sunset.</c>

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:25.680
Ours<00:26:24.059><c> go</c><00:26:24.259><c> from</c><00:26:24.440><c> midnight</c><00:26:24.759><c> to</c><00:26:24.900><c> midnight,</c><00:26:25.220><c> which</c><00:26:25.359><c> is</c><00:26:25.400><c> a</c><00:26:25.539><c> little</c><00:26:25.539><c> different.</c>

00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:29.480
So<00:26:25.940><c> it</c><00:26:26.299><c> actually</c><00:26:26.480><c> begins</c><00:26:26.859><c> on</c><00:26:27.119><c> Friday,</c><00:26:27.299><c> but</c><00:26:27.400><c> that's</c><00:26:27.680><c> considered</c><00:26:28.019><c> the</c><00:26:28.640><c> Saturday.</c>

00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:32.220

For<00:26:32.839><c> meeting?</c><00:26:33.720><c> Sunday.</c>

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:36.240
Why<00:26:35.180><c> did</c><00:26:35.259><c> that</c><00:26:35.380><c> change?</c>

00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.420
Where<00:26:39.380><c> in</c><00:26:39.480><c> the</c><00:26:39.619><c> Bible</c><00:26:39.819><c> does</c><00:26:40.000><c> it</c><00:26:40.160><c> say</c><00:26:40.299><c> that</c><00:26:40.440><c> we</c><00:26:40.559><c> should</c><00:26:40.740><c> stop</c><00:26:40.960><c> meeting</c><00:26:41.240><c> on</c>

00:26:41.420 --> 00:26:42.440
the<00:26:41.660><c> Sabbath</c><00:26:41.940><c> day</c>

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:44.880

00:26:45.099 --> 00:26:46.920
You<00:26:45.619><c> ever</c><00:26:45.799><c> notice</c><00:26:46.039><c> that?</c>

00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:49.279
And<00:26:47.299><c> especially</c><00:26:47.640><c> because,</c><00:26:48.119><c> remember,</c><00:26:48.539><c> the</c><00:26:48.700><c> early</c><00:26:48.980><c> church</c>

that<00:29:19.720><c> he</c><00:29:19.819><c> was</c><00:29:19.960><c> going</c><00:29:20.059><c> to</c><00:29:20.140><c> take</c><00:29:20.319><c> his</c><00:29:20.559><c> lawyer</c><00:29:20.779><c> background,</c>

00:29:29.859 --> 00:29:33.180
that<00:29:30.319><c> Jesus</c><00:29:30.680><c> wasn't</c><00:29:30.980><c> written,</c><00:29:31.720><c> that</c><00:29:31.799><c> the</c><00:29:31.980><c> whole</c><00:29:32.140><c> thing</c><00:29:32.299><c> was</c><00:29:32.519><c> a</c><00:29:32.660><c> hoax</c>

00:29:33.180 --> 00:29:35.720
somehow,<00:29:34.140><c> that</c><00:29:34.259><c> it</c><00:29:34.380><c> was</c><00:29:34.539><c> a</c><00:29:34.640><c> false</c><00:29:34.839><c> claim.</c>

00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:39.240
And<00:29:36.259><c> this</c><00:29:36.440><c> guy</c><00:29:36.640><c> set</c><00:29:36.900><c> about</c><00:29:37.539><c> to</c><00:29:38.460><c> destroy</c>

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:42.779

this<00:30:02.759><c> isn't</c><00:30:03.000><c> a</c><00:30:03.140><c> hoax.</c>

00:30:04.859 --> 00:30:08.160
If<00:30:05.000><c> it</c><00:30:05.200><c> was</c><00:30:05.380><c> a</c><00:30:05.579><c> hoax,</c><00:30:07.099><c> the</c><00:30:07.259><c> Gospel</c><00:30:07.619><c> writers</c>

00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:11.339
would<00:30:08.799><c> have</c><00:30:08.940><c> made</c><00:30:09.119><c> things</c><00:30:09.420><c> a</c><00:30:09.500><c> little</c><00:30:09.700><c> easier</c><00:30:10.019><c> to</c><00:30:10.299><c> understand.</c>

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:14.059
If<00:30:11.839><c> you</c><00:30:12.039><c> read</c><00:30:12.180><c> the</c><00:30:12.359><c> four</c><00:30:12.579><c> Gospels,</c><00:30:13.019><c> just</c><00:30:13.240><c> a</c><00:30:13.359><c> casual</c><00:30:13.700><c> reading,</c>

00:30:16.460 --> 00:30:19.420

00:30:21.900 --> 00:30:24.579

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:26.700
That's<00:30:25.299><c> your</c><00:30:25.460><c> initial</c><00:30:25.680><c> impression.</c>

00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:30.240
And<00:30:27.519><c> if</c><00:30:27.640><c> you</c><00:30:27.759><c> look</c><00:30:27.900><c> at</c><00:30:28.039><c> it</c><00:30:28.099><c> a</c><00:30:28.160><c> little</c><00:30:28.279><c> deeper,</c><00:30:28.779><c> you</c><00:30:28.779><c> find,</c><00:30:29.359><c> no,</c>

00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:32.539
these<00:30:30.519><c> things</c><00:30:30.700><c> really</c><00:30:30.980><c> do</c><00:30:31.200><c> make</c><00:30:31.400><c> sense.</c><00:30:31.700><c> That's</c><00:30:32.019><c> the</c><00:30:32.160><c> way</c>

00:30:32.539 --> 00:30:35.019
Frank<00:30:32.799><c> Morrison</c><00:30:33.119><c> had</c><00:30:33.400><c> approached</c><00:30:33.660><c> it.</c>

00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:38.259
If<00:30:36.720><c> you</c><00:30:36.940><c> were</c><00:30:37.039><c> going</c><00:30:37.140><c> to</c><00:30:37.319><c> fake</c><00:30:37.480><c> the</c><00:30:37.779><c> story,</c>

00:30:38.660 --> 00:30:42.140
you'd<00:30:39.019><c> make</c><00:30:39.119><c> it</c><00:30:39.279><c> easy</c><00:30:39.460><c> to</c><00:30:39.680><c> understand.</c><00:30:40.740><c> You</c><00:30:41.059><c> wouldn't</c><00:30:41.420><c> make</c><00:30:41.680><c> it</c>

00:30:42.140 --> 00:30:44.640
with<00:30:42.359><c> a</c><00:30:42.460><c> lot</c><00:30:42.640><c> of</c><00:30:42.859><c> apparent</c><00:30:43.180><c> contradictions.</c>

00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:47.000
And<00:30:45.339><c> that's</c><00:30:45.559><c> one</c><00:30:45.680><c> of</c><00:30:45.779><c> the</c><00:30:45.880><c> big</c><00:30:46.039><c> things</c><00:30:46.299><c> that</c><00:30:46.519><c> caused</c><00:30:46.740><c> him</c><00:30:46.900><c> to</c>

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.279
And<00:30:48.339><c> so</c><00:30:48.440><c> the</c><00:30:48.500><c> whole</c><00:30:48.740><c> book</c><00:30:48.880><c> is</c><00:30:49.140><c> a</c><00:30:49.339><c> very</c><00:30:49.980><c> excellent,</c><00:30:50.460><c> excellent</c><00:30:50.880><c> record</c>

00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:54.259
of<00:30:51.819><c> why</c><00:30:52.660><c> he</c><00:30:53.259><c> believes</c><00:30:53.680><c> now</c>

00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:56.500
that<00:30:54.859><c> Jesus</c><00:30:55.160><c> really</c><00:30:55.480><c> did</c><00:30:55.660><c> rise</c><00:30:55.880><c> from</c><00:30:56.039><c> the</c><00:30:56.200><c> dead.</c>

00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.660
And<00:30:57.039><c> he</c><00:30:57.119><c> gets</c><00:30:57.180><c> into</c><00:30:57.279><c> a</c><00:30:57.460><c> lot</c><00:30:57.559><c> of</c><00:30:57.720><c> the</c><00:30:57.819><c> little</c><00:30:57.960><c> details</c><00:30:58.400><c> that</c><00:30:58.599><c> are</c>

00:30:58.660 --> 00:31:00.000
really<00:30:58.920><c> interesting.</c>

00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.759
I<00:31:04.059><c> want</c><00:31:04.299><c> to</c><00:31:04.619><c> conclude</c><00:31:05.119><c> with</c><00:31:05.339><c> a</c><00:31:05.500><c> couple</c><00:31:05.720><c> of</c><00:31:06.000><c> thoughts.</c>

00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:09.940
Let's<00:31:07.759><c> go</c><00:31:07.920><c> back</c><00:31:08.160><c> to</c><00:31:08.299><c> Acts</c><00:31:08.460><c> chapter</c><00:31:08.819><c> 17.</c>

00:31:23.299 --> 00:31:25.980
This<00:31:23.859><c> morning,</c><00:31:24.299><c> I</c><00:31:24.480><c> am</c><00:31:24.680><c> presenting</c><00:31:24.980><c> to</c><00:31:25.200><c> you</c><00:31:25.359><c> as</c><00:31:25.539><c> a</c><00:31:25.740><c> fact</c>

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:28.519
which<00:31:26.200><c> can</c><00:31:26.460><c> be</c><00:31:26.779><c> absolutely</c><00:31:27.400><c> proven,</c>

00:31:29.220 --> 00:31:32.019
the<00:31:29.420><c> idea</c><00:31:29.720><c> that</c><00:31:29.900><c> Jesus</c><00:31:30.240><c> did</c><00:31:30.539><c> rise</c><00:31:30.759><c> from</c><00:31:30.940><c> the</c><00:31:31.119><c> dead.</c>

00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:35.559
So<00:31:33.619><c> let's</c><00:31:33.900><c> reread</c><00:31:34.240><c> what</c><00:31:34.759><c> Paul</c><00:31:35.059><c> says</c><00:31:35.339><c> here</c>

00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:37.480
in<00:31:35.680><c> verses</c><00:31:35.960><c> 30</c><00:31:36.279><c> and</c><00:31:36.400><c> 31.</c>

00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:38.759
He<00:31:38.539><c> says,</c>

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:41.480
Truly<00:31:39.059><c> these</c><00:31:39.359><c> times</c><00:31:39.680><c> of</c><00:31:39.920><c> ignorance</c><00:31:40.180><c> God</c><00:31:40.500><c> overlooked,</c>

00:31:41.700 --> 00:31:42.119
but<00:31:41.960><c> now</c><00:31:42.119><c> they</c><00:31:42.119><c> are</c><00:31:42.119><c> gone,</c>

00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:45.420
and<00:31:42.220><c> now</c><00:31:42.220><c> he</c><00:31:42.420><c> commands</c><00:31:42.819><c> all</c><00:31:43.160><c> men</c><00:31:43.500><c> everywhere</c><00:31:43.980><c> to</c><00:31:44.220><c> repent,</c>

00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:47.259

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:33.259
Well,<00:32:30.839><c> the</c><00:32:30.980><c> fact</c><00:32:31.140><c> is,</c><00:32:31.359><c> we</c><00:32:31.539><c> can</c><00:32:31.839><c> know</c><00:32:32.019><c> that</c><00:32:32.140><c> it's</c><00:32:32.420><c> coming,</c>

00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:38.440
because<00:32:35.000><c> Jesus</c><00:32:35.400><c> did</c><00:32:36.140><c> rise</c><00:32:36.440><c> from</c><00:32:36.640><c> the</c><00:32:36.799><c> dead.</c>

Now,<00:33:03.279><c> to</c><00:33:03.400><c> pick</c><00:33:03.519><c> up</c><00:33:03.660><c> the</c><00:33:03.920><c> context,</c><00:33:04.660><c> really,</c><00:33:04.839><c> he</c><00:33:04.900><c> says</c><00:33:05.259><c> about</c><00:33:05.759><c> verse</c><00:33:06.039><c> 14</c>

00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:07.940
or<00:33:06.680><c> so.</c>

00:33:20.859 --> 00:33:23.319
So<00:33:21.380><c> his</c><00:33:21.660><c> point</c><00:33:21.900><c> is,</c><00:33:22.200><c> he's</c><00:33:22.220><c> talking</c><00:33:22.539><c> about...</c>

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.440
He<00:33:23.460><c> didn't</c><00:33:23.680><c> really</c><00:33:23.940><c> care</c><00:33:24.160><c> about</c><00:33:24.440><c> baptism</c><00:33:24.740><c> a</c><00:33:24.900><c> whole</c><00:33:25.059><c> lot,</c><00:33:25.279><c> in</c>

But<00:34:38.760><c> we</c><00:34:38.960><c> preach</c><00:34:39.179><c> Christ</c><00:34:39.559><c> crucified,</c>

00:34:41.539 --> 00:34:43.739
to<00:34:41.679><c> the</c><00:34:41.860><c> Jews</c><00:34:42.039><c> a</c><00:34:42.300><c> stumbling</c><00:34:42.639><c> block,</c>

00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:47.599
and<00:34:44.099><c> to</c><00:34:44.219><c> the</c><00:34:44.400><c> Greeks</c><00:34:44.639><c> foolishness</c><00:34:45.300><c> or</c><00:34:45.559><c> ridiculousness,</c><00:34:46.260><c> something</c><00:34:46.500><c> like</c><00:34:46.840><c> that.</c>

00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:49.820
Here's<00:34:48.699><c> his</c><00:34:48.900><c> point,</c>

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.960

00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:56.599
His<00:34:53.900><c> message</c><00:34:54.380><c> was</c><00:34:54.659><c> that</c><00:34:54.900><c> Christ</c><00:34:55.219><c> was</c><00:34:55.480><c> crucified.</c>

00:34:57.820 --> 00:34:59.260
That's<00:34:58.159><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:34:59.500 --> 00:35:01.900
This<00:34:59.719><c> idea</c><00:35:00.039><c> that</c><00:35:00.340><c> the</c><00:35:00.460><c> person</c><00:35:00.760><c> who's</c><00:35:00.940><c> going</c><00:35:01.039><c> to</c><00:35:01.119><c> be</c><00:35:01.239><c> your</c><00:35:01.480><c> savior,</c>

00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:11.579
at<00:35:09.699><c> the</c><00:35:09.880><c> hands</c><00:35:10.039><c> of</c><00:35:10.219><c> people</c><00:35:10.420><c> who</c><00:35:10.539><c> were</c><00:35:10.800><c> persecuting</c><00:35:11.239><c> him.</c>

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:13.960
How<00:35:12.300><c> is</c><00:35:12.400><c> that</c><00:35:12.559><c> going</c><00:35:12.679><c> to</c><00:35:12.820><c> save</c><00:35:12.960><c> you?</c>

00:35:14.179 --> 00:35:16.780
How<00:35:14.699><c> does</c><00:35:14.880><c> that</c><00:35:15.039><c> make</c><00:35:15.260><c> a</c><00:35:15.420><c> difference,</c><00:35:15.659><c> that</c><00:35:15.900><c> somebody</c><00:35:16.159><c> died</c><00:35:16.500><c> 2</c>

00:35:16.780 --> 00:35:17.739
,000<00:35:17.079><c> years</c><00:35:17.440><c> ago?</c>

00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:20.139
How<00:35:17.940><c> is</c><00:35:18.079><c> that</c><00:35:18.219><c> going</c><00:35:18.380><c> to</c><00:35:18.480><c> save</c><00:35:18.739><c> your</c><00:35:18.980><c> life</c><00:35:19.239><c> now?</c>

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:24.420
And<00:35:22.780><c> Paul</c><00:35:22.980><c> admitted</c><00:35:23.340><c> freely,</c>

00:35:25.139 --> 00:35:26.380
that<00:35:25.219><c> it's</c><00:35:25.579><c> foolishness.</c>

00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:28.119
It's<00:35:27.019><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:30.400
It's<00:35:28.800><c> a</c><00:35:28.960><c> stumbling</c><00:35:29.320><c> block.</c>

00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:34.119
Except<00:35:32.559><c> for</c><00:35:32.880><c> one</c><00:35:33.199><c> thing,</c>

00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.139
the<00:35:34.940><c> same</c><00:35:35.219><c> person</c><00:35:35.619><c> who</c><00:35:35.760><c> was</c><00:35:36.000><c> crucified</c><00:35:36.519><c> that</c><00:35:36.659><c> he's</c><00:35:36.820><c> talking</c>

00:35:37.139 --> 00:35:38.019
about<00:35:37.380><c> here,</c>

00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:39.179
rose<00:35:38.579><c> from</c><00:35:38.760><c> the</c><00:35:38.920><c> dead.</c>

00:35:39.179 --> 00:35:41.739
And<00:35:40.019><c> what</c><00:35:40.179><c> he</c><00:35:40.380><c> says</c><00:35:40.539><c> here</c><00:35:40.820><c> to</c><00:35:40.980><c> the</c><00:35:41.179><c> Corinthians</c><00:35:41.460><c> about,</c>

00:35:41.900 --> 00:35:43.840
your<00:35:41.900><c> faith</c><00:35:42.139><c> is</c><00:35:42.360><c> in</c><00:35:42.519><c> vain</c><00:35:42.679><c> if</c><00:35:42.840><c> Christ</c><00:35:43.159><c> is</c><00:35:43.360><c> not</c><00:35:43.539><c> risen,</c>

00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:46.280
can<00:35:44.380><c> be</c><00:35:44.599><c> turned</c><00:35:44.820><c> around</c><00:35:45.159><c> logically.</c>

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:49.760
If<00:35:47.059><c> Christ</c><00:35:47.380><c> is</c><00:35:47.659><c> risen,</c><00:35:48.079><c> your</c><00:35:48.260><c> faith</c><00:35:48.460><c> is</c><00:35:48.659><c> not</c><00:35:48.840><c> in</c><00:35:49.039><c> vain.</c>

00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:53.280
What<00:35:50.480><c> he</c><00:35:50.619><c> said</c><00:35:50.699><c> in</c><00:35:50.880><c> Acts</c><00:35:51.059><c> chapter</c><00:35:51.340><c> 17</c><00:35:51.800><c> to</c><00:35:52.019><c> the</c><00:35:52.159><c> men</c><00:35:52.239><c> of</c><00:35:52.519><c> Athens.</c>

00:35:53.739 --> 00:35:56.679
You<00:35:53.840><c> can</c><00:35:54.159><c> prove</c><00:35:54.659><c> that</c><00:35:54.980><c> this</c><00:35:55.179><c> judgment</c><00:35:55.440><c> day</c><00:35:55.659><c> is</c><00:35:55.880><c> coming,</c>

00:35:56.780 --> 00:36:00.559

00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:12.300
Could<00:36:10.960><c> I</c><00:36:11.059><c> ask</c><00:36:11.179><c> you</c><00:36:11.320><c> to</c><00:36:11.440><c> leave?</c>

00:36:14.179 --> 00:36:15.800
And<00:36:14.320><c> you</c><00:36:14.420><c> can</c><00:36:14.559><c> turn</c><00:36:14.699><c> the</c><00:36:14.860><c> tape</c><00:36:15.039><c> off,</c><00:36:15.300><c> because</c><00:36:15.360><c> I</c><00:36:15.440><c> want</c><00:36:15.599><c> this</c>
