And<00:02:52.819><c> immediately</c><00:02:53.259><c> we</c><00:02:53.860><c> say,</c><00:02:54.340><c> well</c><00:02:54.919><c> yes,</c><00:02:55.340><c> but</c><00:02:55.620><c> it</c><00:02:55.740><c> is</c><00:02:56.039><c> very</c><00:02:56.419><c> demanding,</c><00:02:57.280><c> isn't</c><00:02:57.520><c> it?</c>

00:02:58.139 --> 00:03:01.620
And<00:02:58.960><c> we</c><00:02:59.259><c> shrink</c><00:02:59.500><c> back</c><00:02:59.840><c> at</c><00:03:00.020><c> the</c><00:03:00.240><c> thought</c><00:03:00.400><c> of</c><00:03:00.639><c> actually</c><00:03:01.180><c> having</c>

00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.620
But<00:03:05.020><c> our</c><00:03:05.159><c> Lord</c><00:03:05.300><c> was</c><00:03:05.479><c> absolutely</c><00:03:06.000><c> right,</c><00:03:06.379><c> brethren</c><00:03:06.639><c> and</c><00:03:06.900><c> sisters.</c>

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:17.159
Oh,<00:14:15.299><c> he</c><00:14:15.379><c> could</c><00:14:15.580><c> see</c><00:14:15.779><c> the</c><00:14:16.019><c> point,</c><00:14:16.259><c> he</c><00:14:16.340><c> could</c><00:14:16.539><c> see</c><00:14:16.659><c> the</c><00:14:16.860><c> point</c><00:14:17.000><c> of</c>

00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:28.519
But<00:14:25.519><c> you're</c><00:14:25.919><c> the</c><00:14:26.120><c> man,</c><00:14:26.519><c> says</c><00:14:26.679><c> Nathan,</c><00:14:27.440><c> you're</c><00:14:27.919><c> the</c><00:14:28.080><c> man</c><00:14:28.320><c> the</c>

You<00:15:15.919><c> may</c><00:15:16.120><c> remember</c><00:15:16.419><c> that</c><00:15:16.679><c> Paul</c><00:15:16.840><c> makes</c><00:15:17.139><c> the</c><00:15:17.360><c> same</c><00:15:17.559><c> point</c><00:15:17.779><c> in</c>

00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.519
he<00:15:29.019><c> then</c><00:15:29.279><c> says</c><00:15:29.440><c> at</c><00:15:29.639><c> the</c><00:15:29.779><c> beginning</c><00:15:30.059><c> of</c><00:15:30.379><c> chapter</c><00:15:30.740><c> two,</c>

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:38.139
Therefore<00:15:32.779><c> thou</c><00:15:33.259><c> art</c><00:15:33.720><c> inexcusable,</c><00:15:35.220><c> O</c><00:15:35.299><c> man,</c><00:15:35.820><c> whosoever</c><00:15:37.940><c> thou</c>

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:46.759
For<00:15:40.879><c> wherein</c><00:15:41.240><c> thou</c><00:15:41.740><c> judgest</c><00:15:42.220><c> another,</c><00:15:44.000><c> thou</c><00:15:44.200><c> condemnest</c><00:15:45.039><c> thyself.</c>

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:52.340

00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:57.500
Now<00:15:53.379><c> I'm</c><00:15:53.460><c> quite</c><00:15:53.759><c> sure</c><00:15:54.000><c> that</c><00:15:54.240><c> Paul</c><00:15:54.379><c> didn't</c><00:15:54.700><c> mean</c><00:15:55.320><c> that</c><00:15:56.379><c> the</c><00:15:56.600><c> Jewish</c><00:15:56.820><c> believers</c><00:15:57.200><c> to</c>

00:16:05.019 --> 00:16:09.980
What<00:16:05.399><c> he</c><00:16:05.860><c> meant</c><00:16:06.159><c> was</c><00:16:06.659><c> that</c><00:16:06.879><c> they</c><00:16:07.080><c> were</c><00:16:07.360><c> committing</c><00:16:08.919><c> the</c><00:16:09.360><c> same</c>

00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:15.799
And<00:16:14.039><c> we</c><00:16:14.159><c> can</c><00:16:14.379><c> all</c><00:16:14.580><c> do</c><00:16:14.820><c> that.</c>

For<00:18:17.059><c> this</c><00:18:17.460><c> is</c><00:18:17.740><c> the</c><00:18:18.079><c> law</c><00:18:18.420><c> and</c><00:18:18.759><c> the</c><00:18:19.119><c> prophets.</c>

Perhaps<00:18:49.920><c> you</c><00:18:50.140><c> would.</c>

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:54.339

in<00:18:54.559><c> effect,</c>

00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:58.720
Thou<00:18:55.319><c> shalt</c><00:18:55.559><c> love</c><00:18:55.900><c> thy</c><00:18:56.200><c> neighbor</c><00:18:56.700><c> as</c><00:18:57.200><c> thyself.</c>

00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.859
I<00:19:03.220><c> think</c><00:19:03.440><c> it's</c><00:19:04.079><c> John</c><00:19:04.400><c> Bunyan's</c><00:19:05.039><c> phrase,</c><00:19:05.359><c> isn't</c><00:19:05.519><c> it,</c><00:19:05.660><c> in</c>

00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:16.220
It's<00:19:14.220><c> perfectly</c><00:19:14.559><c> true,</c><00:19:14.819><c> and</c><00:19:14.980><c> I'm</c><00:19:15.099><c> sure</c><00:19:15.259><c> Jesus</c><00:19:15.640><c> himself</c><00:19:15.980><c> would</c>

that<00:19:16.900><c> the</c><00:19:17.180><c> promises</c><00:19:17.420><c> to</c><00:19:17.680><c> Abraham</c><00:19:17.960><c> are</c><00:19:18.240><c> vital.</c>

00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:21.579
The<00:19:19.400><c> concept</c><00:19:19.759><c> of</c><00:19:19.940><c> the</c><00:19:20.079><c> kingdom</c><00:19:20.319><c> of</c><00:19:20.519><c> God</c><00:19:20.660><c> is</c><00:19:20.880><c> fundamental.</c>

00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:24.619

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.859
When<00:19:25.460><c> God's</c><00:19:25.839><c> will</c><00:19:25.920><c> will</c><00:19:26.140><c> be</c><00:19:26.319><c> done</c><00:19:26.420><c> on</c><00:19:26.660><c> earth</c><00:19:26.819><c> as</c><00:19:27.039><c> it</c><00:19:27.180><c> is</c><00:19:27.359><c> in</c><00:19:27.599><c> heaven,</c>

00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:53.160
It's<00:19:50.880><c> just</c><00:19:51.039><c> an</c><00:19:51.299><c> academic</c><00:19:51.720><c> exercise.</c>

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:33.779
When<00:20:28.940><c> dealing</c><00:20:29.380><c> with</c><00:20:29.779><c> the</c><00:20:30.200><c> eggshell</c><00:20:31.039><c> frailty</c><00:20:31.880><c> of</c><00:20:32.259><c> human</c><00:20:32.660><c> nature,</c>

00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.500

00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.980
We<00:20:38.539><c> trample</c><00:20:38.960><c> about</c><00:20:39.319><c> sometimes</c><00:20:40.019><c> with</c><00:20:40.259><c> our</c><00:20:40.460><c> great</c><00:20:40.759><c> hobnailed</c><00:20:41.460><c> boots</c>

But<00:20:46.059><c> Jesus</c><00:20:46.839><c> never</c><00:20:47.720><c> did.</c>

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:52.900
I<00:20:50.400><c> think</c><00:20:50.539><c> it's</c><00:20:50.700><c> quite</c><00:20:51.059><c> wonderful</c><00:20:51.519><c> to</c><00:20:51.759><c> observe</c><00:20:52.119><c> the</c><00:20:52.319><c> way</c><00:20:52.519><c> Jesus</c>

00:20:54.819 --> 00:20:58.539
I<00:20:54.859><c> think</c><00:20:55.019><c> we</c><00:20:55.240><c> could</c><00:20:55.740><c> learn</c><00:20:56.099><c> a</c><00:20:56.259><c> lot</c><00:20:56.400><c> by</c><00:20:56.720><c> taking</c><00:20:57.079><c> careful</c><00:20:57.559><c> note.</c>

00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.079
He<00:20:59.220><c> was</c><00:20:59.240><c> certainly</c><00:20:59.539><c> a</c><00:20:59.660><c> bit</c><00:20:59.940><c> sharp</c><00:21:00.160><c> with</c><00:21:00.400><c> the</c><00:21:00.599><c> religious</c><00:21:01.019><c> leaders</c>

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:04.279

their<00:21:04.539><c> righteousness.</c>

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:10.220
But<00:21:06.380><c> the</c><00:21:06.700><c> common</c><00:21:07.000><c> people</c><00:21:07.500><c> who</c><00:21:07.839><c> felt</c><00:21:08.140><c> weighed</c><00:21:08.640><c> down</c>

00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.140

00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:28.579
Do<00:21:27.380><c> you</c><00:21:27.380><c> remember</c><00:21:27.680><c> her?</c>

00:21:29.140 --> 00:21:32.720
She<00:21:29.339><c> felt</c><00:21:29.720><c> desperately</c><00:21:30.480><c> ashamed</c><00:21:31.180><c> about</c><00:21:31.619><c> it.</c>

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:35.680
She<00:21:32.960><c> didn't</c><00:21:33.259><c> want</c><00:21:33.539><c> to</c><00:21:33.720><c> be</c><00:21:33.980><c> found</c><00:21:34.319><c> out,</c>

00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:06.440

00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:52.740
We<00:23:51.180><c> don't</c><00:23:51.700><c> know.</c>

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:57.180

When<00:23:58.279><c> you've</c><00:23:58.660><c> tried</c><00:23:58.799><c> and</c><00:23:59.039><c> tested</c><00:23:59.339><c> them,</c>

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:11.799
Now<00:24:09.559><c> that's</c><00:24:09.859><c> the</c><00:24:10.019><c> sense</c><00:24:10.220><c> in</c><00:24:10.359><c> which</c><00:24:10.539><c> I</c><00:24:10.839><c> understand</c><00:24:11.299><c> this</c><00:24:11.599><c> verse,</c>

00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.000
It's<00:34:34.559><c> not</c><00:34:34.900><c> sufficient,</c><00:34:35.500><c> Jesus</c><00:34:36.019><c> is</c><00:34:36.340><c> saying</c><00:34:36.559><c> to</c><00:34:36.780><c> us</c>

00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:02.719
