it's</c><00:46:03.719><c> all</c><00:46:03.920><c> started.</c> 00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:05.519 But<00:46:04.340><c> that</c><00:46:04.559><c> there</c><00:46:04.760><c> is</c><00:46:05.000><c>

That<00:46:08.980><c> car</c><00:46:09.440><c> doesn't</c><00:46:09.760><c> work</c><00:46:10.039><c> at</c><00:46:10.219><c> all.</c> 00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:12.019 It<00:46:10.980><c>

00:46:15.420 --> 00:46:18.239 It's<00:46:15.840><c> useless.</c><00:46:16.659><c> It</c><00:46:16.800><c> doesn't</c><00:46:17.099><c> do</c><00:46:17.360><c> anything.</c> 00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:22.980 And<00:46:18.900><c> I</c><00:46:19.059><c> think</c><00:46:19.280><c> that's</c><00:46:20.119><c> a</c><00:46:20.300><c> good</c><00:46:20.579><c> image</c><00:46:21.099><c> that</c><00:46:22.079><c> represents</c> 00:46:22.980 --> 00:46:26.119 when<00:46:23.780><c> we</c><00:46:24.079><c> hear</c><00:46:24.519><c> and</c><00:46:25.039><c> when</c><00:46:25.159><c> we</c><00:46:25.340><c> don't</c><00:46:25.599><c> do</c> 00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:30.159 and<00:46:26.679><c> when</c><00:46:26.940><c> we</c><00:46:27.320><c> say</c><00:46:27.500><c> we've</c><00:46:27.739><c> got</c><00:46:27.940><c> faith</c><00:46:28.300><c> but</c><00:46:28.480><c> we</c><00:46:28.659><c> don't</c><00:46:28.880><c> have</c><00:46:29.139><c> works.</c> 00:46:32.059 --> 00:46:36.199 So<00:46:32.599><c> the</c><00:46:32.880><c> question</c><00:46:33.219><c> is,</c><00:46:33.920><c> we've</c><00:46:34.360><c> all</c><00:46:34.519><c> heard</c><00:46:34.719><c> the</c><00:46:34.840><c> word</c><00:46:34.980><c> of</c><00:46:35.179><c> God,</c> 00:46:36.300 --> 00:46:37.400 hopefully<00:46:36.639><c> we'll</c><00:46:36.820><c> all</c><00:46:36.960><c> have</c><00:46:37.079><c> faith.</c> 00:46:37.500 --> 00:46:40.920 The<00:46:37.599><c> question</c><00:46:37.900><c> is,</c><00:46:38.519><c> do</c><00:46:38.699><c> we</c><00:46:38.940><c> do</c><00:46:39.619><c> those</c><00:46:40.219><c> three</c><00:46:40.500><c> tests</c> 00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:44.840 that<00:46:41.280><c> show</c><00:46:41.900><c> whether</c><00:46:42.420><c> our</c><00:46:42.679><c> religion</c><00:46:42.980><c> is</c><00:46:43.840><c> pure</c><00:46:44.179><c> or</c><00:46:44.599><c> whether</c> 00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:46.420 it's<00:46:45.599><c> worthless?</c> 00:46:47.739 --> 00:46:48.260 Yes.
