00:01:02.899 --> 00:01:06.480
So,<00:01:03.159><c> we</c><00:01:03.299><c> really</c><00:01:03.560><c> want</c><00:01:03.719><c> to</c><00:01:03.740><c> go</c><00:01:03.939><c> back</c><00:01:04.200><c> to</c><00:01:04.359><c> set</c><00:01:04.680><c> the</c><00:01:05.079><c> stage</c><00:01:05.459><c> for</c><00:01:05.680><c> what</c><00:01:05.920><c> goes</c><00:01:06.120><c> on</c>

00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:16.959
Because,<00:01:14.280><c> as</c><00:01:14.480><c> Brother</c><00:01:14.719><c> Dan</c><00:01:14.939><c> was</c><00:01:15.159><c> reading,</c><00:01:15.579><c> you</c><00:01:15.599><c> probably</c><00:01:16.000><c> noticed,</c><00:01:16.500><c> there's</c><00:01:16.799><c> a</c>

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.980
So,<00:01:22.379><c> in</c><00:01:22.560><c> verse</c><00:01:22.799><c> 2</c><00:01:23.700><c> of</c><00:01:24.000><c> Exodus,</c><00:01:24.359><c> Chapter</c><00:01:24.640><c> 5,</c><00:01:25.599><c> the</c><00:01:25.659><c> King</c><00:01:25.879><c> of</c>

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.180
I<00:01:33.180><c> know</c><00:01:33.500><c> not</c><00:01:33.879><c> Yahweh,</c><00:01:34.439><c> neither</c><00:01:34.859><c> will</c><00:01:35.500><c> I</c><00:01:35.620><c> let</c><00:01:35.799><c> Israel</c><00:01:36.200><c> go.</c>

00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.519

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.120
and<00:06:22.959><c> had</c><00:06:23.120><c> that</c><00:06:23.379><c> discussion</c><00:06:23.939><c> who</c><00:06:24.319><c> was</c><00:06:24.680><c> the</c><00:06:24.939><c> source</c><00:06:25.240><c> of</c><00:06:25.459><c> all</c><00:06:25.740><c> things,</c>

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.800
And<00:06:29.180><c> if</c><00:06:29.259><c> we</c><00:06:29.360><c> were</c><00:06:29.459><c> to</c><00:06:29.560><c> go</c><00:06:29.740><c> through</c><00:06:29.980><c> the</c><00:06:30.160><c> epistles,</c><00:06:30.720><c> brother</c>

00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.800
we<00:06:31.759><c> would</c><00:06:31.980><c> find</c><00:06:32.259><c> another</c><00:06:32.759><c> 20</c><00:06:33.220><c> times.</c>

00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:40.040
That<00:06:34.339><c> being,</c><00:06:34.720><c> of</c><00:06:34.839><c> course,</c><00:06:37.339><c> 45</c><00:06:37.759><c> times</c><00:06:38.319><c> in</c><00:06:38.740><c> total</c><00:06:39.180><c> that</c><00:06:39.720><c> John,</c>

00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.579

00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:47.220
that<00:06:43.079><c> he</c><00:06:43.279><c> talks</c><00:06:43.620><c> about</c><00:06:44.300><c> the</c><00:06:44.779><c> truth</c><00:06:45.120><c> in</c><00:06:45.480><c> some</c><00:06:45.860><c> fashion</c><00:06:46.339><c> or</c><00:06:46.939><c> another.</c>

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:52.100
So<00:06:47.579><c> it</c><00:06:47.699><c> really</c><00:06:48.019><c> becomes</c><00:06:48.540><c> one</c><00:06:48.899><c> of</c><00:06:49.100><c> his</c><00:06:49.560><c> themes</c><00:06:50.100><c> throughout</c><00:06:50.800><c> his</c><00:06:51.220><c> writings.</c>

00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.319
Let's<00:06:52.660><c> go</c><00:06:52.879><c> back</c><00:06:53.139><c> then</c><00:06:53.459><c> to</c><00:06:53.680><c> John</c><00:06:54.019><c> chapter</c><00:06:54.360><c> 1,</c>

00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:18.879
And<00:07:16.560><c> you</c><00:07:16.639><c> remember</c><00:07:17.000><c> that</c><00:07:17.199><c> we</c><00:07:17.300><c> looked</c><00:07:17.540><c> at</c><00:07:17.720><c> Zacharias'</c><00:07:18.620><c> words,</c>

00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:41.100
So<00:07:37.420><c> we</c><00:07:37.579><c> would</c><00:07:37.839><c> expect</c><00:07:38.220><c> then</c><00:07:38.740><c> that</c><00:07:38.959><c> when</c><00:07:39.120><c> we</c><00:07:39.220><c> go</c><00:07:39.379><c> back</c><00:07:39.600><c> to</c><00:07:39.779><c> Genesis</c><00:07:40.240><c> chapter</c><00:07:40.620><c> 1,</c>

00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.500
because<00:07:52.079><c> in</c><00:07:52.300><c> one</c><00:07:52.379><c> of</c><00:07:52.500><c> my</c><00:07:52.660><c> previous</c><00:07:53.019><c> classes,</c><00:07:53.740><c> I</c><00:07:54.040><c> said</c><00:07:54.199><c> that</c><00:07:54.379><c> in</c>

00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.920
God<00:07:55.839><c> created</c><00:07:56.279><c> man,</c><00:07:56.879><c> and</c><00:07:57.120><c> then</c><00:07:57.300><c> from</c><00:07:57.480><c> there</c><00:07:57.740><c> on.</c>

00:07:57.959 --> 00:07:59.699
But<00:07:58.100><c> I</c><00:07:58.220><c> was</c><00:07:58.420><c> corrected</c><00:07:58.800><c> by</c><00:07:59.079><c> a</c><00:07:59.180><c> young</c><00:07:59.339><c> brother,</c>

And<00:11:10.259><c> you</c><00:11:10.360><c> may</c><00:11:10.580><c> have</c><00:11:10.960><c> remembered</c><00:11:11.519><c> that</c><00:11:11.779><c> in</c><00:11:11.899><c> one</c><00:11:12.019><c> of</c><00:11:12.120><c> the</c>

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.820
previous<00:11:12.539><c> classes,</c>

00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:15.100
we<00:11:12.980><c> alluded</c><00:11:13.259><c> to</c><00:11:13.480><c> this,</c><00:11:13.799><c> brother</c><00:11:13.980><c> Thomas,</c>

00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:19.940
he<00:11:15.799><c> properly</c><00:11:16.220><c> being</c><00:11:16.639><c> a</c><00:11:17.259><c> scholar</c><00:11:17.500><c> far</c><00:11:17.840><c> beyond</c><00:11:18.200><c> what</c><00:11:18.679><c> we</c><00:11:18.980><c> are,</c>

00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:21.720
where<00:11:20.299><c> it</c><00:11:20.480><c> says</c><00:11:20.580><c> that</c><00:11:20.779><c> in</c><00:11:20.879><c> the</c><00:11:20.960><c> beginning</c><00:11:21.100><c> of</c><00:11:21.299><c> the</c><00:11:21.500><c> word</c>

00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:23.820
and<00:11:21.940><c> the</c><00:11:22.100><c> word</c><00:11:22.279><c> was</c><00:11:22.519><c> with</c><00:11:22.820><c> God,</c>

00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:29.879
he<00:11:24.019><c> translated</c><00:11:24.559><c> that</c><00:11:26.100><c> it</c><00:11:26.279><c> is</c><00:11:27.080><c> the</c><00:11:27.679><c> Logos</c><00:11:28.379><c> was</c><00:11:29.279><c> Theos.</c>

00:11:30.059 --> 00:11:33.080
In<00:11:30.240><c> other</c><00:11:30.440><c> words,</c><00:11:31.000><c> it</c><00:11:31.159><c> wasn't</c><00:11:31.480><c> with</c><00:11:31.879><c> him,</c><00:11:32.139><c> it</c><00:11:32.500><c> was</c><00:11:32.860><c> him.</c>

00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:38.460
So<00:11:33.340><c> the</c><00:11:33.600><c> Logos</c><00:11:34.200><c> was</c><00:11:35.200><c> Theos,</c><00:11:36.399><c> and</c><00:11:36.500><c> as</c><00:11:36.679><c> we</c><00:11:36.960><c> said,</c><00:11:37.700><c> rightfully</c><00:11:38.059><c> so.</c>

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.279
Now<00:11:38.820><c> this</c><00:11:38.980><c> idea</c><00:11:39.399><c> of</c><00:11:39.799><c> beginnings,</c>

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:42.779
and<00:11:40.879><c> again</c><00:11:41.039><c> we</c><00:11:41.139><c> won't</c><00:11:41.340><c> look</c><00:11:41.539><c> up</c><00:11:41.720><c> all</c><00:11:41.980><c> these,</c>

00:11:42.820 --> 00:11:45.299
but<00:11:42.960><c> John</c><00:11:43.200><c> reminds</c><00:11:43.679><c> us</c><00:11:43.980><c> over</c><00:11:44.279><c> and</c><00:11:44.419><c> over</c><00:11:44.679><c> and</c><00:11:44.799><c> over</c><00:11:45.019><c> again</c>

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:47.120
that<00:11:45.620><c> we</c><00:11:45.759><c> need</c><00:11:45.919><c> to</c><00:11:46.000><c> go</c><00:11:46.259><c> back</c><00:11:46.539><c> to</c><00:11:46.759><c> the</c><00:11:46.940><c> beginning.</c>

00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:51.279
Eight<00:11:47.659><c> times</c><00:11:48.320><c> we</c><00:11:48.580><c> find</c><00:11:48.940><c> in</c><00:11:49.159><c> the</c><00:11:49.320><c> gospel</c><00:11:49.720><c> then</c><00:11:50.100><c> that</c><00:11:50.460><c> he</c><00:11:50.720><c> records</c>

00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.080
a<00:11:51.799><c> cutting</c><00:11:51.980><c> off</c><00:11:52.200><c> of</c><00:11:52.399><c> the</c><00:11:52.679><c> old</c><00:11:53.039><c> and</c><00:11:53.480><c> a</c><00:11:53.700><c> new</c><00:11:53.899><c> beginning.</c>

00:11:55.820 --> 00:11:59.940
And<00:11:56.179><c> also</c><00:11:56.840><c> ten</c><00:11:57.279><c> times</c><00:11:57.899><c> in</c><00:11:58.679><c> the</c><00:11:58.879><c> epistle.</c>

00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:02.779
So<00:12:01.500><c> the</c><00:12:02.019><c> question</c><00:12:02.460><c> is,</c>

00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:05.580
as<00:12:03.200><c> we've</c><00:12:03.480><c> been</c><00:12:03.659><c> sharing</c><00:12:03.919><c> with</c><00:12:04.320><c> several</c><00:12:04.759><c> brothers</c><00:12:05.000><c> and</c><00:12:05.200><c> sisters,</c>

00:12:05.940 --> 00:12:09.059
as<00:12:06.139><c> we</c><00:12:06.259><c> were</c><00:12:06.360><c> doing</c><00:12:06.620><c> this</c><00:12:06.879><c> study</c><00:12:07.059><c> and</c><00:12:07.220><c> we</c><00:12:07.379><c> come</c><00:12:07.519><c> up</c><00:12:07.679><c> on</c><00:12:07.840><c> this</c><00:12:08.019><c> idea,</c>

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.320
the<00:12:09.379><c> question</c><00:12:09.720><c> came</c><00:12:10.000><c> up</c><00:12:10.200><c> in</c><00:12:10.419><c> my</c><00:12:11.039><c> brain,</c><00:12:11.580><c> as</c><00:12:11.840><c> small</c><00:12:12.019><c> as</c><00:12:12.220><c> it</c><00:12:12.419><c> is,</c>

00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.940
why<00:12:14.059><c> does</c><00:12:14.279><c> he</c><00:12:14.480><c> deal</c><00:12:14.820><c> with</c><00:12:15.539><c> darkness</c><00:12:16.220><c> and</c><00:12:16.659><c> light?</c>

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:18.840
He<00:12:17.620><c> repeats</c><00:12:18.059><c> it</c><00:12:18.340><c> over</c><00:12:18.620><c> and</c><00:12:18.759><c> over.</c>

00:12:18.899 --> 00:12:21.240
You<00:12:19.039><c> may</c><00:12:19.539><c> have</c><00:12:19.700><c> noticed</c><00:12:20.059><c> when</c><00:12:20.259><c> it</c><00:12:20.399><c> was</c><00:12:20.539><c> being</c><00:12:20.879><c> read,</c>

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.740
there<00:12:21.639><c> is</c><00:12:21.940><c> darkness,</c><00:12:22.840><c> there</c><00:12:23.059><c> is</c><00:12:23.340><c> he</c><00:12:23.559><c> that</c><00:12:23.960><c> hated</c><00:12:24.179><c> his</c><00:12:24.519><c> brother.</c>

00:12:24.899 --> 00:12:26.679
Why<00:12:25.259><c> is</c><00:12:25.559><c> it</c><00:12:25.700><c> that</c><00:12:25.860><c> John</c><00:12:26.039><c> brings</c><00:12:26.419><c> that</c><00:12:26.600><c> up?</c>

00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:29.340
Well,<00:12:26.860><c> of</c><00:12:27.059><c> course,</c><00:12:27.320><c> we</c><00:12:27.500><c> need</c><00:12:27.740><c> to</c><00:12:28.379><c> hear</c><00:12:28.740><c> those</c><00:12:29.059><c> things.</c>

00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:30.700
We<00:12:29.480><c> need</c><00:12:29.639><c> to</c><00:12:29.820><c> read</c><00:12:30.059><c> those</c><00:12:30.399><c> things.</c>

00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:34.740
And<00:12:31.159><c> the</c><00:12:31.419><c> Spirit</c><00:12:31.779><c> obviously</c><00:12:32.379><c> moved</c><00:12:32.899><c> John</c><00:12:33.200><c> to</c><00:12:33.559><c> pen</c><00:12:33.759><c> those</c><00:12:34.179><c> things.</c>

00:12:35.220 --> 00:12:39.320
But<00:12:35.460><c> why</c><00:12:35.639><c> is</c><00:12:35.879><c> it</c><00:12:36.340><c> that</c><00:12:36.539><c> John</c><00:12:36.840><c> is</c><00:12:37.279><c> so</c><00:12:37.919><c> emphatic?</c>

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:42.480
There<00:12:39.820><c> is</c><00:12:40.220><c> light</c><00:12:40.620><c> and</c><00:12:41.220><c> there</c><00:12:41.559><c> is</c><00:12:41.940><c> darkness.</c>

00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:45.580
And<00:12:42.740><c> in</c><00:12:42.840><c> the</c><00:12:43.059><c> beginning,</c><00:12:43.860><c> God</c><00:12:44.159><c> said,</c><00:12:44.700><c> let</c><00:12:44.820><c> there</c><00:12:45.059><c> be</c><00:12:45.240><c> light,</c>

00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:49.700
and<00:12:45.879><c> God</c><00:12:46.200><c> is</c><00:12:46.580><c> light,</c><00:12:47.740><c> and</c><00:12:47.919><c> he</c><00:12:48.259><c> that</c><00:12:48.480><c> dwells</c><00:12:48.899><c> in</c><00:12:49.100><c> darkness</c>

00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:51.820
has<00:12:50.120><c> no</c><00:12:50.460><c> part</c><00:12:50.700><c> in</c><00:12:51.000><c> God.</c>

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:55.299
And<00:12:52.039><c> you</c><00:12:52.100><c> know,</c><00:12:53.080><c> one</c><00:12:53.220><c> of</c><00:12:53.340><c> the</c><00:12:53.539><c> things</c><00:12:53.779><c> that</c><00:12:54.320><c> we</c><00:12:54.659><c> kind</c><00:12:54.940><c> of</c>

00:12:55.299 --> 00:12:57.720
have<00:12:55.440><c> a</c><00:12:55.559><c> bit</c><00:12:55.639><c> of</c><00:12:55.840><c> a</c><00:12:55.919><c> running</c><00:12:56.299><c> joke,</c><00:12:56.899><c> if</c><00:12:57.139><c> you</c><00:12:57.379><c> will,</c>

00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:01.720
is<00:12:58.220><c> that</c><00:12:58.580><c> there's</c><00:12:59.480><c> some</c><00:13:00.039><c> brethren</c><00:13:00.320><c> and</c><00:13:00.559><c> sisters</c><00:13:00.879><c> who</c><00:13:01.240><c> say</c>

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:06.519
that<00:13:02.519><c> there</c><00:13:02.820><c> are</c><00:13:03.419><c> only</c><00:13:03.879><c> black</c><00:13:04.559><c> and</c><00:13:05.059><c> white</c><00:13:05.360><c> areas.</c>

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:10.740
And<00:13:06.779><c> when</c><00:13:06.940><c> we</c><00:13:07.159><c> try</c><00:13:07.360><c> to</c><00:13:07.620><c> blend</c><00:13:07.940><c> the</c><00:13:08.320><c> things</c><00:13:08.639><c> of</c><00:13:09.179><c> blackness</c><00:13:09.899><c> and</c><00:13:10.399><c> light,</c>

00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:12.220
we<00:13:10.960><c> get</c><00:13:11.159><c> gray</c><00:13:11.559><c> areas.</c>

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.659
And<00:13:12.860><c> that's</c><00:13:13.139><c> where</c><00:13:13.220><c> we</c><00:13:13.299><c> run</c><00:13:13.480><c> into</c><00:13:13.700><c> trouble</c><00:13:14.200><c> in</c><00:13:14.480><c> the</c><00:13:14.700><c> truth,</c>

00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:17.120
individually<00:13:16.120><c> and</c><00:13:16.620><c> ecclesially.</c>

00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:18.899
Because<00:13:17.700><c> then</c><00:13:17.940><c> all</c><00:13:18.120><c> of</c><00:13:18.340><c> a</c><00:13:18.360><c> sudden</c><00:13:18.519><c> we</c><00:13:18.720><c> say,</c>

00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.559
well,<00:13:19.340><c> things</c><00:13:19.620><c> aren't</c><00:13:19.899><c> that</c><00:13:20.320><c> bad.</c>

00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.120
They<00:13:20.759><c> can't</c><00:13:21.019><c> really</c><00:13:21.340><c> be</c><00:13:21.580><c> that</c><00:13:21.919><c> bad.</c>

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:23.860
So<00:13:22.320><c> we</c><00:13:22.799><c> get</c><00:13:23.059><c> gray</c><00:13:23.419><c> areas.</c>

00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.500
And<00:13:24.139><c> then</c><00:13:24.299><c> the</c><00:13:24.539><c> gray</c><00:13:24.759><c> areas</c><00:13:25.779><c> end</c><00:13:26.279><c> up</c><00:13:26.600><c> either</c><00:13:26.860><c> going</c><00:13:27.100><c> one</c><00:13:27.360><c> way</c>

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:27.899

00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:30.539
And<00:13:28.220><c> sadly,</c><00:13:28.580><c> because</c><00:13:28.820><c> of</c><00:13:28.940><c> the</c><00:13:29.159><c> flesh,</c><00:13:29.799><c> what</c><00:13:29.879><c> we</c><00:13:30.000><c> end</c><00:13:30.139><c> up</c><00:13:30.299><c> doing</c>

00:13:30.539 --> 00:13:32.740
is<00:13:30.779><c> moving</c><00:13:31.259><c> to</c><00:13:31.720><c> the</c><00:13:31.940><c> black</c><00:13:32.279><c> side.</c>

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.600
And<00:13:33.299><c> we</c><00:13:33.440><c> allow</c><00:13:33.700><c> all</c><00:13:34.000><c> kinds</c><00:13:34.259><c> of</c><00:13:34.440><c> things</c><00:13:34.639><c> into</c><00:13:34.899><c> our</c><00:13:35.159><c> ecclesias</c>

00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.879
and<00:13:36.019><c> into</c><00:13:36.340><c> our</c><00:13:36.559><c> own</c><00:13:36.799><c> individual</c><00:13:37.340><c> lives.</c>

00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:41.519
But<00:13:38.460><c> what</c><00:13:38.679><c> is</c><00:13:38.879><c> it,</c><00:13:39.340><c> then,</c><00:13:39.919><c> that</c><00:13:40.120><c> John</c><00:13:40.580><c> is</c><00:13:40.960><c> dealing</c><00:13:41.240><c> with</c>

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.919
in<00:13:41.720><c> all</c><00:13:41.960><c> of</c><00:13:42.100><c> these</c><00:13:42.340><c> things</c><00:13:42.639><c> in</c><00:13:42.940><c> light</c><00:13:43.399><c> and</c><00:13:43.919><c> darkness?</c>

00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.039
Now,<00:13:46.220><c> we</c><00:13:46.379><c> said</c><00:13:46.620><c> he</c><00:13:46.940><c> is</c><00:13:47.240><c> about</c><00:13:47.720><c> mending,</c>

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:51.220
about<00:13:49.679><c> bringing</c><00:13:50.039><c> things</c><00:13:50.580><c> together.</c>

00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.659
Well,<00:13:51.519><c> you</c><00:13:51.639><c> can't</c><00:13:52.019><c> take</c><00:13:52.639><c> darkness</c><00:13:53.159><c> and</c><00:13:53.500><c> light.</c>

00:13:53.659 --> 00:13:57.539
It<00:13:53.899><c> just</c><00:13:54.299><c> doesn't</c><00:13:54.740><c> work</c><00:13:55.159><c> because</c><00:13:55.700><c> it</c><00:13:56.120><c> says</c><00:13:56.460><c> that</c><00:13:56.759><c> God</c><00:13:56.960><c> is</c><00:13:57.259><c> light</c>

00:13:57.539 --> 00:14:01.600
and<00:13:57.799><c> in</c><00:13:58.120><c> him</c><00:13:58.379><c> is</c><00:13:58.919><c> no</c><00:13:59.419><c> darkness</c><00:14:00.039><c> at</c><00:14:00.759><c> all.</c>

00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.820
Well,<00:14:02.559><c> there's</c><00:14:02.840><c> some</c><00:14:03.179><c> words</c><00:14:03.679><c> that</c><00:14:03.980><c> we</c><00:14:04.159><c> want</c><00:14:04.379><c> to</c><00:14:05.120><c> explore</c>

00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:07.940
before<00:14:06.259><c> we</c><00:14:06.500><c> get</c><00:14:06.879><c> to</c><00:14:07.139><c> that</c><00:14:07.559><c> point.</c>

00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:10.940
And<00:14:08.340><c> that</c><00:14:08.419><c> is</c><00:14:08.720><c> this,</c><00:14:09.679><c> that</c><00:14:09.799><c> in</c><00:14:10.039><c> the</c><00:14:10.179><c> book</c><00:14:10.320><c> of</c><00:14:10.539><c> John,</c>

00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.139
both<00:14:11.679><c> the</c><00:14:11.879><c> Gospel</c><00:14:12.279><c> and</c><00:14:12.679><c> the</c><00:14:12.879><c> Epistle,</c><00:14:13.519><c> he</c><00:14:13.759><c> deals</c><00:14:14.100><c> with</c><00:14:14.679><c> sin</c><00:14:15.120><c> quite</c><00:14:15.620><c> a</c><00:14:15.779><c> bit.</c>

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.279
So<00:14:16.679><c> that</c><00:14:16.879><c> is</c><00:14:17.220><c> to</c><00:14:17.519><c> miss</c><00:14:17.799><c> the</c><00:14:18.039><c> mark.</c>

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.940
And<00:14:18.799><c> those</c><00:14:19.039><c> of</c><00:14:19.200><c> you</c><00:14:19.340><c> that</c><00:14:19.440><c> are</c><00:14:19.639><c> scholars</c><00:14:20.000><c> in</c><00:14:20.200><c> the</c><00:14:20.340><c> Old</c><00:14:20.500><c> Testament</c>

00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:24.139
will<00:14:21.220><c> probably</c><00:14:21.539><c> recognize</c><00:14:22.139><c> it's</c><00:14:22.539><c> the</c><00:14:22.700><c> same</c><00:14:22.980><c> definition</c>

00:14:24.460 --> 00:14:26.240
when<00:14:24.779><c> you</c><00:14:25.059><c> bring</c><00:14:25.240><c> your</c><00:14:25.539><c> offering</c><00:14:25.899><c> up.</c>

00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:27.720
It's<00:14:26.639><c> to</c><00:14:26.879><c> miss</c><00:14:27.179><c> the</c><00:14:27.440><c> mark.</c>

00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:31.960
So<00:14:28.220><c> to</c><00:14:28.519><c> be</c><00:14:29.080><c> morally</c><00:14:29.500><c> to</c><00:14:30.019><c> sin</c><00:14:30.360><c> or</c><00:14:30.820><c> to</c><00:14:31.159><c> err.</c>

00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:33.559
There's<00:14:32.200><c> also</c><00:14:32.539><c> the</c><00:14:32.820><c> wicked</c><00:14:33.139><c> one.</c>

00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.340
And<00:14:34.039><c> it</c><00:14:34.220><c> is,</c><00:14:34.519><c> in</c><00:14:34.779><c> effect</c><00:14:35.059><c> or</c><00:14:35.460><c> influence,</c><00:14:36.019><c> to</c><00:14:36.299><c> bring</c><00:14:36.559><c> about</c><00:14:36.899><c> ruin.</c>

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:39.539
So<00:14:37.899><c> when</c><00:14:38.059><c> we</c><00:14:38.299><c> read</c><00:14:38.480><c> of</c><00:14:38.639><c> the</c><00:14:38.879><c> wicked</c><00:14:39.200><c> one,</c>

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.539
it's<00:14:39.879><c> things</c><00:14:40.279><c> that</c><00:14:40.600><c> are</c><00:14:40.899><c> brought</c><00:14:41.120><c> about</c><00:14:41.539><c> to</c><00:14:42.000><c> ruin</c><00:14:42.419><c> when</c><00:14:42.840><c> we</c><00:14:43.120><c> read,</c>

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.580
especially<00:14:44.500><c> in</c><00:14:44.879><c> John's</c><00:14:45.340><c> word.</c>

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:49.000
And<00:14:46.139><c> finally,</c><00:14:46.840><c> there</c><00:14:47.039><c> is</c><00:14:47.299><c> the</c><00:14:47.620><c> world</c><00:14:47.960><c> or</c><00:14:48.179><c> the</c><00:14:48.419><c> cosmos.</c>

00:14:49.299 --> 00:14:52.159
And<00:14:49.539><c> we</c><00:14:49.620><c> have</c><00:14:49.799><c> to</c><00:14:50.120><c> read</c><00:14:50.440><c> the</c><00:14:50.879><c> context</c><00:14:51.399><c> of</c><00:14:51.659><c> the</c><00:14:51.860><c> Scripture</c>

00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.120
to<00:14:52.360><c> know</c><00:14:52.480><c> whether</c><00:14:52.700><c> God</c><00:14:52.940><c> is</c><00:14:53.159><c> talking</c><00:14:53.500><c> about</c><00:14:54.120><c> the</c><00:14:54.519><c> pagans</c>

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.980
or<00:14:55.720><c> whether</c><00:14:55.899><c> he's</c><00:14:56.139><c> talking</c><00:14:56.480><c> about</c><00:14:56.980><c> the</c><00:14:57.279><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:01.960
So<00:14:58.840><c> we</c><00:14:59.340><c> need</c><00:14:59.580><c> to</c><00:14:59.779><c> do</c><00:14:59.879><c> some</c><00:15:00.139><c> careful</c><00:15:00.899><c> Bible</c><00:15:01.379><c> reading</c>

00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:03.679
when<00:15:02.419><c> we're</c><00:15:02.840><c> reading</c><00:15:03.159><c> those</c><00:15:03.460><c> things.</c>

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:05.539
So<00:15:04.200><c> when</c><00:15:04.460><c> it</c><00:15:04.779><c> said</c><00:15:04.940><c> in</c><00:15:05.159><c> the</c><00:15:05.360><c> beginning,</c>

00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:06.559
you<00:15:05.720><c> remember</c><00:15:06.039><c> that</c><00:15:06.200><c> he</c><00:15:06.379><c> said,</c>

00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.259
Behold<00:15:07.120><c> the</c><00:15:07.220><c> Lamb</c><00:15:07.419><c> of</c><00:15:07.620><c> God</c><00:15:07.899><c> that</c><00:15:08.139><c> taketh</c><00:15:08.279><c> away</c><00:15:08.500><c> the</c><00:15:08.799><c> sin</c><00:15:09.039><c> of</c>

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:09.940
the<00:15:09.500><c> world.</c>

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:13.419
It's<00:15:10.580><c> this</c><00:15:10.940><c> word</c><00:15:11.299><c> here</c><00:15:11.759><c> of</c><00:15:12.059><c> sin</c><00:15:12.259><c> to</c><00:15:12.559><c> miss</c><00:15:12.860><c> the</c><00:15:13.139><c> mark.</c>

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:17.240
So<00:15:14.379><c> was</c><00:15:14.740><c> the</c><00:15:14.940><c> Lord</c><00:15:15.120><c> Jesus</c><00:15:15.440><c> Christ</c><00:15:15.700><c> then</c><00:15:15.940><c> just</c><00:15:16.419><c> coming</c><00:15:16.639><c> on</c><00:15:16.899><c> the</c><00:15:17.059><c> scene</c>

00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:18.980
to<00:15:17.580><c> forgive</c><00:15:18.019><c> transgressions?</c>

00:15:19.299 --> 00:15:21.960
Or<00:15:19.419><c> was</c><00:15:19.539><c> it</c><00:15:19.659><c> coming</c><00:15:19.799><c> on</c><00:15:20.000><c> the</c><00:15:20.179><c> scene</c><00:15:20.340><c> to</c><00:15:20.620><c> take</c><00:15:20.860><c> care</c><00:15:21.000><c> of</c><00:15:21.240><c> transgressions?</c>

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.519
And<00:15:22.580><c> nature?</c>

00:15:23.659 --> 00:15:26.419
Or<00:15:24.039><c> was</c><00:15:24.200><c> it</c><00:15:24.379><c> just</c><00:15:24.639><c> nature</c><00:15:25.039><c> and</c><00:15:25.279><c> not</c><00:15:25.679><c> transgressions?</c>

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.679
So<00:15:27.080><c> the</c><00:15:27.200><c> Lord</c><00:15:27.399><c> Jesus</c><00:15:27.799><c> Christ</c><00:15:28.179><c> appearing</c><00:15:28.659><c> on</c><00:15:28.940><c> the</c><00:15:29.200><c> scene</c>

00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:41.460
Well,<00:15:36.580><c> we</c><00:15:36.700><c> do</c><00:15:36.980><c> want</c><00:15:37.279><c> to</c><00:15:37.580><c> then</c><00:15:37.820><c> come</c><00:15:38.039><c> over</c><00:15:38.379><c> to</c><00:15:38.740><c> 1</c><00:15:39.220><c> John</c><00:15:39.639><c> chapter</c><00:15:40.480><c> 1.</c>

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.340

00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:04.279
For<00:16:01.500><c> if</c><00:16:01.720><c> we</c><00:16:02.000><c> say</c><00:16:02.240><c> that</c><00:16:02.480><c> we</c><00:16:02.740><c> have</c><00:16:03.059><c> no</c><00:16:03.419><c> sin,</c>

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:09.379
If<00:16:07.980><c> we</c><00:16:08.259><c> confess</c><00:16:08.700><c> our</c><00:16:09.039><c> sins,</c>

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.340
If<00:16:16.539><c> we</c><00:16:16.840><c> say</c><00:16:17.000><c> that</c><00:16:17.179><c> we</c><00:16:17.399><c> have</c><00:16:17.639><c> not</c><00:16:17.980><c> sinned,</c>

00:16:21.299 --> 00:16:25.580

00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:26.440
That's<00:16:26.000><c> what</c><00:16:26.139><c> it</c><00:16:26.279><c> means.</c>

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.200

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:39.960
And<00:16:38.340><c> we</c><00:16:38.500><c> often</c><00:16:38.919><c> talk</c><00:16:39.340><c> about</c><00:16:39.659><c> this</c>

the<00:16:42.879><c> brother</c><00:16:43.059><c> who's</c><00:16:43.299><c> doing</c><00:16:43.480><c> the</c><00:16:43.740><c> exhorting</c><00:16:44.059><c> is</c><00:16:44.279><c> saying,</c>

that<00:16:47.500><c> brother,</c><00:16:48.159><c> examine</c><00:16:48.539><c> yourself.</c>

00:16:49.059 --> 00:16:51.659
But<00:16:49.480><c> we</c><00:16:49.820><c> need</c><00:16:49.980><c> to</c><00:16:50.059><c> be</c><00:16:50.299><c> real</c><00:16:50.679><c> and</c><00:16:50.940><c> true</c><00:16:51.059><c> to</c><00:16:51.259><c> ourselves,</c>

00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:52.580

00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.259
because<00:16:53.419><c> we</c><00:16:53.779><c> wouldn't</c><00:16:54.000><c> talk</c><00:16:54.320><c> about</c><00:16:54.519><c> it</c><00:16:54.620><c> so</c><00:16:54.879><c> much</c>

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:57.740
if<00:16:55.500><c> we</c><00:16:55.639><c> didn't</c><00:16:55.899><c> know</c><00:16:56.379><c> that</c><00:16:56.679><c> we</c><00:16:56.840><c> were</c><00:16:57.039><c> actually</c><00:16:57.340><c> going,</c>

00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.399
And<00:16:59.679><c> I</c><00:16:59.759><c> know</c><00:16:59.919><c> the</c><00:17:00.139><c> brother</c><00:17:00.320><c> is</c><00:17:00.440><c> actually</c><00:17:00.740><c> talking</c><00:17:01.139><c> to</c><00:17:01.559><c> him.</c>

00:17:02.419 --> 00:17:05.740
So<00:17:02.700><c> when</c><00:17:02.919><c> it</c><00:17:03.159><c> says,</c><00:17:03.919><c> if</c><00:17:03.980><c> we</c><00:17:04.380><c> say</c><00:17:04.599><c> we</c><00:17:04.940><c> have</c><00:17:05.180><c> no</c><00:17:05.519><c> sin,</c>

00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:08.480
so<00:17:06.039><c> we</c><00:17:06.339><c> need</c><00:17:06.660><c> to</c><00:17:06.940><c> be</c><00:17:07.180><c> truthful</c><00:17:07.579><c> with</c><00:17:07.900><c> ourselves</c>

00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.920
What<00:17:19.940><c> are</c><00:17:20.400><c> our</c><00:17:20.720><c> intentions</c><00:17:21.240><c> and</c><00:17:21.920><c> our</c><00:17:22.240><c> motivations</c>

00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:29.559
if<00:17:27.779><c> we</c><00:17:28.079><c> confess</c><00:17:28.619><c> our</c><00:17:29.240><c> sins,</c>

00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.880
it's<00:17:31.960><c> the</c><00:17:32.160><c> recognition</c><00:17:32.759><c> of</c><00:17:33.140><c> the</c><00:17:33.200><c> heart</c><00:17:33.480><c> of</c><00:17:33.680><c> man</c>

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:42.619

00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.759
And<00:17:55.700><c> unrighteousness</c><00:17:56.579><c> is</c><00:17:56.880><c> that</c><00:17:57.220><c> moral</c><00:17:57.940><c> wrongfulness,</c>

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:00.940

00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:06.319

00:18:06.619 --> 00:18:09.640
Anything<00:18:07.039><c> that</c><00:18:07.140><c> isn't</c><00:18:07.440><c> of</c><00:18:07.599><c> the</c><00:18:07.839><c> righteousness</c><00:18:08.220><c> of</c><00:18:08.500><c> God</c><00:18:08.880><c> is</c><00:18:09.240><c> sin.</c>

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:11.299
It<00:18:10.019><c> seems</c><00:18:10.200><c> pretty</c><00:18:10.480><c> black</c><00:18:10.700><c> and</c><00:18:10.940><c> white.</c>

00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:13.880
But<00:18:11.880><c> we</c><00:18:11.980><c> don't</c><00:18:12.380><c> like</c><00:18:12.700><c> to</c><00:18:12.920><c> look</c><00:18:13.099><c> at</c><00:18:13.200><c> those</c><00:18:13.559><c> things</c>

00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:15.700
because<00:18:14.440><c> they</c><00:18:14.819><c> cut</c><00:18:15.019><c> close</c><00:18:15.380><c> to</c><00:18:15.519><c> home,</c>

00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:17.279
don't<00:18:15.900><c> they,</c><00:18:16.140><c> brethren</c><00:18:16.299><c> and</c><00:18:16.500><c> sisters?</c>

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:18.940
John<00:18:17.779><c> keeps</c><00:18:18.119><c> repeating</c><00:18:18.539><c> this.</c>

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.539
There<00:18:19.599><c> is</c><00:18:19.920><c> an</c><00:18:20.099><c> issue</c><00:18:20.420><c> that's</c><00:18:20.740><c> going</c><00:18:20.940><c> on</c><00:18:21.259><c> here.</c>

00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:24.480
There<00:18:22.119><c> is</c><00:18:22.460><c> this</c><00:18:22.660><c> idea</c><00:18:23.039><c> that</c><00:18:23.180><c> if</c><00:18:23.359><c> we</c><00:18:23.559><c> say</c><00:18:23.680><c> we</c><00:18:23.880><c> have</c><00:18:24.019><c> no</c><00:18:24.279><c> sin</c>

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.700
and<00:18:24.599><c> we</c><00:18:24.779><c> go,</c><00:18:24.900><c> well,</c><00:18:25.240><c> it's</c><00:18:25.480><c> not</c><00:18:25.619><c> really</c><00:18:25.819><c> about</c><00:18:26.059><c> me</c><00:18:26.380><c> today,</c>

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.900
it<00:18:26.859><c> must</c><00:18:27.019><c> be</c><00:18:27.279><c> about</c><00:18:27.500><c> brother</c><00:18:27.759><c> so</c><00:18:28.059><c>-and</c><00:18:28.180><c>-so</c><00:18:28.279><c> or</c><00:18:28.480><c> sister</c><00:18:28.819><c> so</c><00:18:29.099><c>-and</c><00:18:29.359><c>-so,</c>

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:32.640
or<00:18:30.420><c> simply</c><00:18:30.880><c> this</c><00:18:31.339><c> doesn't</c><00:18:31.640><c> apply</c><00:18:32.019><c> to</c><00:18:32.259><c> me.</c>

00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:36.440
And<00:18:33.160><c> of</c><00:18:33.319><c> course,</c><00:18:33.559><c> we</c><00:18:33.759><c> would</c><00:18:33.920><c> never</c><00:18:34.160><c> say</c><00:18:34.740><c> that</c><00:18:35.099><c> we</c><00:18:35.259><c> have</c><00:18:35.380><c> no</c><00:18:35.619><c> sin.</c>

00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:39.279
Or<00:18:37.059><c> we</c><00:18:37.140><c> might</c><00:18:37.380><c> point</c><00:18:37.599><c> the</c><00:18:37.720><c> finger</c><00:18:37.920><c> at</c><00:18:38.059><c> somebody</c><00:18:38.339><c> else.</c>

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:43.119
So<00:18:39.720><c> we</c><00:18:39.960><c> want</c><00:18:40.220><c> to</c><00:18:40.339><c> be</c><00:18:40.640><c> truthful</c><00:18:41.119><c> with</c><00:18:41.759><c> ourselves.</c>

00:18:43.420 --> 00:18:46.960

It's<00:19:23.099><c> darkness.</c>

Not<00:20:20.339><c> as</c><00:20:20.579><c> of</c><00:20:20.799><c> Cain</c><00:20:21.079><c> who</c><00:20:21.259><c> was</c><00:20:21.519><c> of</c><00:20:21.619><c> that</c><00:20:21.900><c> wicked</c><00:20:22.240><c> one</c><00:20:22.559><c> and</c><00:20:22.859><c> slew</c>

Wherefore<00:20:24.640><c> slew</c><00:20:24.940><c> he</c><00:20:25.200><c> him?</c>

00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:29.119

00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:30.920
So<00:20:29.440><c> he</c><00:20:29.619><c> was</c><00:20:30.039><c> morally</c><00:20:30.460><c> wrong.</c>

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.140

00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:37.460
And<00:20:33.640><c> Cain</c><00:20:33.799><c> allowed</c><00:20:34.279><c> the</c><00:20:34.579><c> thinking</c><00:20:34.759><c> of</c><00:20:34.980><c> the</c><00:20:35.140><c> world</c><00:20:35.299><c> to</c><00:20:35.539><c> penetrate</c><00:20:36.099><c> his</c><00:20:36.380><c> brain.</c>

00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.740
And<00:20:37.660><c> then</c><00:20:37.759><c> he</c><00:20:37.960><c> thought,</c><00:20:38.359><c> he's</c><00:20:38.779><c> righteous,</c><00:20:39.720><c> I'll</c><00:20:39.819><c> kill</c><00:20:39.920><c> him.</c>

00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:43.299
But<00:20:41.559><c> John</c><00:20:41.740><c> keeps</c><00:20:42.099><c> repeating</c><00:20:42.480><c> it.</c>

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:40.640
Judas<00:25:37.500><c> also</c><00:25:38.160><c> which</c><00:25:38.680><c> betrayed</c><00:25:39.200><c> him</c><00:25:39.779><c> stood</c><00:25:40.160><c> with</c><00:25:40.460><c> them.</c>

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.559
How<00:25:40.880><c> many</c><00:25:41.059><c> times</c><00:25:41.299><c> is</c><00:25:41.400><c> that</c><00:25:41.680><c> now?</c>

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:45.599
Why<00:25:43.400><c> didn't</c><00:25:43.559><c> John</c><00:25:43.759><c> just</c><00:25:44.019><c> write</c><00:25:44.180><c> down</c><00:25:44.519><c> Judas</c><00:25:44.839><c> betrayed</c><00:25:45.220><c> him?</c>

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:50.900
because<00:25:47.859><c> he</c><00:25:48.039><c> keeps</c><00:25:48.299><c> writing</c><00:25:48.619><c> it</c><00:25:48.839><c> down</c><00:25:49.559><c> years</c><00:25:50.180><c> later,</c>

00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:03.960
Jesus<00:26:02.859><c> answered,</c>

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:07.299
Thou<00:26:04.460><c> couldst</c><00:26:04.980><c> have</c><00:26:05.220><c> no</c><00:26:05.559><c> power</c><00:26:05.859><c> at</c><00:26:06.039><c> all</c><00:26:06.279><c> against</c><00:26:07.000><c> me,</c>

Brothers<00:26:20.440><c> and</c><00:26:20.779><c> sisters,</c>

00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:27.779

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:40.099
You<00:26:36.940><c> see</c><00:26:37.039><c> all</c><00:26:37.279><c> the</c><00:26:37.480><c> times</c><00:26:37.759><c> that</c><00:26:37.900><c> he</c><00:26:38.079><c> writes</c><00:26:38.460><c> down</c><00:26:38.920><c> and</c><00:26:39.099><c> the</c><00:26:39.400><c> evidence</c><00:26:39.740><c> is</c>

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.460
This<00:26:41.599><c> was</c><00:26:41.759><c> a</c><00:26:42.019><c> brother</c><00:26:42.539><c> in</c><00:26:43.539><c> arms.</c>

00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:50.039
well<00:26:47.339><c> we</c><00:26:47.380><c> know</c><00:26:47.579><c> for</c><00:26:47.819><c> a</c><00:26:47.960><c> fact</c><00:26:48.140><c> that</c><00:26:48.279><c> he</c><00:26:48.380><c> was</c><00:26:48.619><c> with</c><00:26:49.079><c> John.</c>

00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:52.900
And<00:26:50.279><c> the</c><00:26:50.400><c> Lord</c><00:26:50.599><c> Jesus</c><00:26:50.960><c> Christ</c><00:26:51.339><c> gave</c><00:26:51.700><c> them</c><00:26:51.920><c> a</c><00:26:52.099><c> measure</c><00:26:52.279><c> of</c><00:26:52.460><c> the</c><00:26:52.700><c> Spirit,</c>

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:57.740
And<00:26:55.779><c> perhaps</c><00:26:56.079><c> John</c><00:26:56.359><c> even</c><00:26:56.700><c> walked</c><00:26:56.900><c> beside</c><00:26:57.339><c> Judas,</c>

00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:59.279

00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:06.319
He's<00:27:03.500><c> a</c><00:27:03.680><c> tear</c><00:27:04.519><c> amongst</c><00:27:05.299><c> weak.</c>

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:10.359
When<00:27:07.279><c> Christ</c><00:27:07.660><c> divides</c><00:27:08.279><c> the</c><00:27:08.640><c> sheep</c><00:27:08.920><c> from</c><00:27:09.240><c> the</c><00:27:09.420><c> goats,</c>

00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:32.339
But<00:27:28.619><c> he</c><00:27:28.799><c> walked</c><00:27:29.160><c> along</c><00:27:29.539><c> for</c><00:27:29.839><c> at</c><00:27:30.119><c> least</c><00:27:30.539><c> three</c><00:27:31.059><c> years</c><00:27:31.420><c> with</c><00:27:31.720><c> Judas</c><00:27:32.059><c> at</c>

He<00:27:33.880><c> betrayed</c><00:27:34.220><c> the</c><00:27:34.440><c> Lord,</c>

who's<00:27:58.500><c> betrayed</c><00:27:58.980><c> perhaps</c><00:27:59.500><c> your</c><00:27:59.740><c> trust</c>

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:02.799
on<00:28:01.279><c> something</c><00:28:01.559><c> in</c><00:28:01.720><c> the</c><00:28:01.940><c> Ecclesia?</c>

00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:04.759
Perhaps<00:28:03.740><c> they're</c><00:28:03.980><c> even</c><00:28:04.319><c> still,</c>

00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:05.819
or<00:28:05.160><c> they</c><00:28:05.400><c> are,</c>

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:07.680
obviously<00:28:06.380><c> they</c><00:28:06.539><c> would</c><00:28:06.700><c> still</c><00:28:06.920><c> be</c><00:28:07.059><c> if</c><00:28:07.140><c> they're</c><00:28:07.339><c> dead.</c>

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:08.680
They're<00:28:08.180><c> dead,</c>

00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.880
and<00:28:09.680><c> we've</c><00:28:09.960><c> still</c><00:28:10.099><c> got</c><00:28:10.240><c> something</c><00:28:10.539><c> against</c><00:28:10.900><c> them.</c>

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:13.240
It<00:28:12.099><c> doesn't</c><00:28:12.119><c> matter</c><00:28:12.279><c> who</c><00:28:12.500><c> it</c><00:28:12.680><c> is.</c>

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:15.680
It<00:28:13.519><c> doesn't</c><00:28:13.579><c> matter</c><00:28:13.779><c> what</c><00:28:13.960><c> the</c><00:28:14.299><c> relationship</c><00:28:14.799><c> was</c><00:28:15.140><c> to</c><00:28:15.420><c> us.</c>

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:18.339
Is<00:28:16.119><c> there</c><00:28:16.460><c> someone</c><00:28:17.000><c> that</c><00:28:17.619><c> we</c><00:28:17.819><c> know</c><00:28:18.079><c> of</c>

00:28:18.339 --> 00:28:21.000
that<00:28:18.599><c> perhaps</c><00:28:19.099><c> we</c><00:28:19.599><c> have</c><00:28:19.880><c> an</c><00:28:20.279><c> issue</c><00:28:20.480><c> with</c>

00:28:24.779 --> 00:28:28.119
Let's<00:28:24.980><c> come</c><00:28:25.200><c> back</c><00:28:25.519><c> to</c><00:28:25.880><c> John</c><00:28:26.339><c> chapter</c><00:28:27.000><c> six.</c>

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.519
who<00:28:53.359><c> they</c><00:28:53.720><c> were</c><00:28:54.079><c> that</c><00:28:54.440><c> believed</c><00:28:54.839><c> not</c>

00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:59.599
and<00:28:56.339><c> who</c><00:28:57.420><c> should</c><00:28:57.960><c> betray</c><00:28:58.519><c> him.</c>

00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.619
Just<00:28:59.900><c> come</c><00:29:00.099><c> over</c><00:29:00.339><c> a</c><00:29:00.519><c> chapter</c><00:29:00.880><c> or</c><00:29:01.059><c> two</c><00:29:01.220><c> to</c><00:29:01.359><c> chapter</c><00:29:01.779><c> eight.</c>

00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:11.700
And<00:29:10.720><c> it</c><00:29:10.859><c> says,</c>

00:29:12.380 --> 00:29:14.359
Ye<00:29:12.700><c> of</c><00:29:12.980><c> your</c><00:29:13.279><c> father</c><00:29:13.680><c> the</c><00:29:13.980><c> devil,</c>

00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:16.819

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:19.980
He<00:29:17.339><c> was</c><00:29:17.619><c> a</c><00:29:17.940><c> murderer</c><00:29:18.339><c> from</c><00:29:18.700><c> the</c><00:29:19.019><c> beginning,</c>

00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:22.720
and<00:29:20.500><c> abode</c><00:29:21.079><c> not</c><00:29:21.680><c> in</c><00:29:22.000><c> the</c><00:29:22.299><c> truth,</c>

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:25.099
because<00:29:23.380><c> there</c><00:29:23.599><c> was</c><00:29:23.779><c> no</c><00:29:24.119><c> truth</c><00:29:24.420><c> in</c><00:29:24.779><c> him.</c>

00:29:25.099 --> 00:29:26.880
When<00:29:25.680><c> he</c><00:29:25.960><c> speaketh</c><00:29:26.319><c> a</c><00:29:26.500><c> lie,</c>

00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:28.240
he<00:29:27.299><c> speaketh</c><00:29:27.640><c> of</c><00:29:27.799><c> his</c><00:29:27.980><c> own,</c>

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.519
for<00:29:28.500><c> he</c><00:29:28.819><c> is</c><00:29:29.519><c> a</c><00:29:29.740><c> liar</c><00:29:30.000><c> and</c><00:29:30.319><c> the</c><00:29:30.599><c> father</c><00:29:30.920><c> of</c><00:29:31.200><c> it.</c>

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:33.680
Because<00:29:32.099><c> I</c><00:29:32.339><c> tell</c><00:29:32.660><c> you</c><00:29:32.960><c> the</c><00:29:33.140><c> truth,</c>

00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.700
you<00:29:34.079><c> believe</c><00:29:34.279><c> me</c><00:29:34.460><c> not.</c>

00:29:34.940 --> 00:29:39.000
So<00:29:35.240><c> the</c><00:29:35.440><c> Lord</c><00:29:35.660><c> Jesus</c><00:29:36.079><c> Christ</c><00:29:36.799><c> knew</c><00:29:37.279><c> all</c><00:29:37.599><c> of</c><00:29:37.759><c> those</c><00:29:37.980><c> things,</c>

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:40.900
but<00:29:39.900><c> John</c><00:29:40.119><c> didn't.</c>

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:43.319
John<00:29:41.759><c> continues</c><00:29:42.400><c> to</c><00:29:42.720><c> write</c><00:29:42.920><c> down</c>

00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:45.339
as<00:29:43.619><c> he</c><00:29:43.819><c> comes</c><00:29:44.079><c> across</c><00:29:44.559><c> these</c><00:29:44.940><c> things</c>

00:29:45.339 --> 00:29:48.700
that<00:29:45.700><c> in</c><00:29:45.960><c> the</c><00:29:46.279><c> beginning</c><00:29:46.700><c> there</c><00:29:47.420><c> was</c><00:29:47.680><c> light.</c>

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:50.279
So<00:29:48.940><c> they</c><00:29:49.099><c> were</c><00:29:49.400><c> with</c><00:29:49.740><c> them,</c>

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:51.440
but<00:29:50.680><c> they</c><00:29:51.059><c> abode,</c>

00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.279

00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:55.559
but<00:29:53.599><c> they</c><00:29:53.940><c> abode</c><00:29:54.519><c> not</c><00:29:54.859><c> in</c><00:29:55.059><c> the</c><00:29:55.279><c> truth.</c>

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:57.319
So<00:29:55.839><c> they</c><00:29:56.039><c> went</c><00:29:56.359><c> out</c><00:29:56.759><c> from</c><00:29:57.039><c> among,</c>

00:29:57.579 --> 00:30:01.220
and<00:29:57.759><c> the</c><00:29:58.099><c> light</c><00:29:58.779><c> became</c><00:29:59.579><c> darkness.</c>

00:30:01.740 --> 00:30:04.059
Now<00:30:01.960><c> let</c><00:30:02.119><c> us</c><00:30:02.259><c> go</c><00:30:02.480><c> back</c><00:30:02.720><c> to</c><00:30:02.920><c> Genesis</c><00:30:03.279><c> chapter</c><00:30:03.660><c> three,</c>

The<00:30:27.079><c> Lord</c><00:30:27.380><c> God</c><00:30:27.680><c> said</c><00:30:27.880><c> unto</c><00:30:28.079><c> the</c><00:30:28.279><c> serpent,</c>

and<00:30:36.980><c> thus</c><00:30:37.200><c> shall</c><00:30:37.460><c> thou</c><00:30:37.660><c> eat</c><00:30:37.839><c> all</c><00:30:38.220><c> the</c><00:30:38.440><c> days</c><00:30:38.920><c> of</c><00:30:39.400><c> thy</c><00:30:39.619><c> life.</c>

00:30:40.299 --> 00:30:43.680
So<00:30:40.539><c> it</c><00:30:40.640><c> tells</c><00:30:40.960><c> us</c><00:30:41.240><c> that</c><00:30:41.460><c> the</c><00:30:41.720><c> serpent</c><00:30:42.140><c> beguiled</c><00:30:43.140><c> Eve,</c>

00:30:43.859 --> 00:30:44.480
didn't<00:30:44.099><c> he?</c>

00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:46.940
That<00:30:44.960><c> is,</c><00:30:45.779><c> he</c><00:30:46.200><c> led</c><00:30:46.420><c> astray.</c>

00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:49.140
You<00:30:47.140><c> remember</c><00:30:47.700><c> that</c><00:30:48.019><c> one</c><00:30:48.200><c> of</c><00:30:48.319><c> the</c><00:30:48.440><c> words</c><00:30:48.599><c> we</c><00:30:48.819><c> looked</c><00:30:48.960><c> at</c>

00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:50.700
is<00:30:49.299><c> to</c><00:30:49.579><c> roam</c><00:30:49.880><c> from</c><00:30:50.140><c> the</c><00:30:50.440><c> truth</c>

00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:54.400
that<00:30:51.220><c> John</c><00:30:51.680><c> picks</c><00:30:52.079><c> up</c><00:30:52.319><c> on</c><00:30:52.680><c> in</c><00:30:53.059><c> his</c><00:30:53.380><c> gospel.</c>

00:30:54.420 --> 00:30:56.980
So<00:30:54.599><c> in</c><00:30:54.740><c> John</c><00:30:55.039><c> three</c><00:30:55.660><c> and</c><00:30:55.839><c> 15,</c>

00:30:57.019 --> 00:30:58.079
I<00:30:57.019><c> will</c><00:30:57.200><c> put</c><00:30:57.500><c> enmity,</c>

00:30:58.380 --> 00:30:59.859
this<00:30:58.619><c> being</c><00:30:58.900><c> the</c><00:30:59.160><c> Edenic</c><00:30:59.539><c> covenant</c>

00:30:59.859 --> 00:31:01.079
that<00:31:00.039><c> we</c><00:31:00.220><c> spoke</c><00:31:00.420><c> about</c><00:31:00.660><c> earlier</c>

00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:02.119
in<00:31:01.220><c> one</c><00:31:01.339><c> of</c><00:31:01.480><c> our</c><00:31:01.579><c> other</c><00:31:01.819><c> sessions</c>

00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:03.539
that<00:31:02.339><c> we</c><00:31:02.599><c> need</c><00:31:02.839><c> to</c><00:31:03.140><c> memorize</c>

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:06.039
and<00:31:03.980><c> ensure</c><00:31:04.440><c> that</c><00:31:04.660><c> our</c><00:31:04.880><c> kids</c><00:31:05.119><c> understand.</c>

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:09.380
I<00:31:06.619><c> will</c><00:31:06.819><c> put</c><00:31:07.119><c> enmity</c><00:31:07.960><c> between</c><00:31:08.400><c> thee</c><00:31:08.759><c> and</c><00:31:08.880><c> the</c><00:31:09.079><c> woman,</c>

00:31:09.740 --> 00:31:11.539
between<00:31:10.079><c> thy</c><00:31:10.559><c> seed</c><00:31:10.740><c> and</c><00:31:11.000><c> her</c><00:31:11.299><c> seed.</c>

00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:13.279
It<00:31:12.079><c> shall</c><00:31:12.339><c> bruise</c><00:31:12.680><c> thy</c><00:31:12.940><c> head</c>

00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:15.180
and<00:31:13.559><c> thou</c><00:31:13.779><c> shalt</c><00:31:14.039><c> bruise</c><00:31:14.579><c> its</c><00:31:14.920><c> heel.</c>

00:31:15.660 --> 00:31:18.299
So<00:31:16.019><c> a</c><00:31:16.220><c> hostility</c><00:31:16.940><c> was</c><00:31:17.160><c> going</c><00:31:17.339><c> to</c><00:31:17.480><c> be</c><00:31:17.599><c> put</c><00:31:17.740><c> in</c><00:31:18.019><c> place.</c>

00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:19.619
That's<00:31:18.619><c> what</c><00:31:18.700><c> it</c><00:31:18.859><c> means,</c><00:31:19.119><c> doesn't</c><00:31:19.359><c> it?</c>

00:31:19.619 --> 00:31:21.519
There's<00:31:20.180><c> going</c><00:31:20.359><c> to</c><00:31:20.519><c> be</c><00:31:20.680><c> a</c><00:31:20.880><c> hostility</c>

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:24.539
and<00:31:23.380><c> the</c><00:31:23.660><c> seed</c><00:31:23.799><c> of</c><00:31:23.980><c> the</c><00:31:24.160><c> serpent.</c>

00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:26.900
In<00:31:25.119><c> the</c><00:31:25.339><c> beginning,</c><00:31:26.019><c> God</c><00:31:26.420><c> said,</c>

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:31.160
And<00:31:28.759><c> then</c><00:31:28.960><c> he</c><00:31:29.259><c> divided</c><00:31:29.700><c> the</c><00:31:30.019><c> light</c><00:31:30.319><c> from</c><00:31:30.559><c> the</c><00:31:30.799><c> darkness.</c>

And<00:31:48.579><c> Abel</c><00:31:48.759><c> was</c><00:31:48.960><c> a</c><00:31:49.079><c> keeper</c><00:31:49.259><c> of</c><00:31:49.400><c> the</c><00:31:49.559><c> sheep,</c>

Well,<00:32:05.740><c> as</c><00:32:06.039><c> we</c><00:32:06.240><c> know</c><00:32:06.359><c> the</c><00:32:06.619><c> story,</c>

00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:17.420
It's<00:32:15.799><c> exactly</c><00:32:16.180><c> what</c><00:32:16.420><c> John</c><00:32:16.740><c> records</c>

00:32:25.059 --> 00:32:26.119

00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:24.139
John<00:40:23.599><c> doesn't</c><00:40:23.920><c> say,</c>

00:40:24.820 --> 00:40:25.860

00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:35.079

00:42:14.219 --> 00:42:16.280
Now,<00:42:14.619><c> just</c><00:42:14.780><c> come</c><00:42:16.039><c> over</c>

00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:28.480
We're<00:42:27.900><c> in</c><00:42:28.219><c> light.</c>

00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:30.420
We've<00:42:29.159><c> passed</c><00:42:29.500><c> from</c><00:42:29.880><c> darkness</c>

00:42:30.420 --> 00:42:32.139

00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:33.420
We've<00:42:32.579><c> dealt</c><00:42:32.739><c> with</c><00:42:32.960><c> those</c><00:42:33.159><c> issues.</c>

00:42:33.460 --> 00:42:35.079
We've<00:42:33.800><c> been</c><00:42:33.980><c> real</c><00:42:34.300><c> with</c><00:42:34.559><c> ourselves</c>

00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:37.199
with<00:42:35.480><c> the</c><00:42:35.699><c> word</c><00:42:35.820><c> of</c><00:42:36.019><c> God</c><00:42:36.199><c> open</c><00:42:36.480><c> in</c><00:42:36.699><c> our</c><00:42:36.940><c> lap</c>

00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:38.559
and<00:42:37.519><c> we're</c><00:42:37.760><c> going</c><00:42:37.960><c> through</c><00:42:38.280><c> things</c>

00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:40.440
saying<00:42:38.880><c> where</c><00:42:39.579><c> can</c><00:42:39.820><c> I</c><00:42:40.119><c> walk</c>

00:42:41.940 --> 00:42:43.039
So<00:42:42.119><c> darkness</c><00:42:42.400><c> has</c><00:42:42.780><c> passed</c>

00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:44.219

00:42:48.539 --> 00:42:51.360
We<00:42:49.039><c> know</c><00:42:49.599><c> that</c><00:42:50.280><c> we</c><00:42:50.599><c> have</c><00:42:50.900><c> passed</c>

00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:56.000
because<00:42:53.860><c> we</c><00:42:54.300><c> love</c><00:42:54.679><c> the</c><00:42:55.099><c> brethren.</c>

00:42:56.019 --> 00:42:57.739
He<00:42:56.260><c> that</c><00:42:56.559><c> loveth</c><00:42:56.880><c> not</c><00:42:57.119><c> his</c><00:42:57.400><c> brother</c>

00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:01.340
Whosoever<00:42:59.960><c> detests</c><00:43:00.619><c> his</c><00:43:01.000><c> brother</c>

00:43:01.340 --> 00:43:02.260

00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:04.360
And<00:43:02.880><c> ye</c><00:43:03.119><c> know</c><00:43:03.380><c> that</c><00:43:03.679><c> no</c><00:43:03.980><c> murderer</c>

00:43:07.900 --> 00:43:09.099
Seems<00:43:08.260><c> pretty</c><00:43:08.599><c> straightforward,</c>

00:43:09.139 --> 00:43:10.199
doesn't<00:43:09.400><c> it,</c><00:43:09.519><c> brethren</c><00:43:09.719><c> and</c><00:43:09.900><c> sisters?</c>

00:43:14.539 --> 00:43:15.760
If<00:43:14.780><c> you</c><00:43:15.019><c> in</c><00:43:15.179><c> your</c><00:43:15.460><c> brain</c>

00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:17.380
can<00:43:16.019><c> think</c><00:43:16.199><c> of</c><00:43:16.440><c> someone</c>

00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:18.960
who<00:43:17.960><c> has</c><00:43:18.119><c> done</c><00:43:18.360><c> something</c>

00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:21.199
that<00:43:19.599><c> fits</c><00:43:19.980><c> in</c><00:43:20.360><c> this</c><00:43:20.559><c> category</c>

00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:23.400
and<00:43:22.099><c> you</c><00:43:22.340><c> feel</c>

00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:25.880
that<00:43:23.800><c> you</c><00:43:24.059><c> have</c><00:43:24.460><c> a</c><00:43:24.860><c> detestation</c>

00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:28.239
for<00:43:26.280><c> that</c><00:43:26.539><c> brother</c><00:43:26.780><c> or</c><00:43:27.019><c> sister,</c>

00:43:28.699 --> 00:43:29.659
what<00:43:28.780><c> a</c><00:43:28.980><c> scary</c><00:43:29.199><c> thought</c>

00:43:29.659 --> 00:43:33.059
for<00:43:30.360><c> a</c><00:43:30.539><c> murderer</c><00:43:30.940><c> just</c><00:43:32.000><c> like</c><00:43:32.340><c> Cain.</c>

00:43:33.880 --> 00:43:34.860
Now<00:43:34.340><c> when</c><00:43:34.460><c> we</c><00:43:34.719><c> said</c>

00:43:34.860 --> 00:43:36.780

00:43:36.780 --> 00:43:37.860
and<00:43:37.079><c> the</c><00:43:37.219><c> things</c><00:43:37.440><c> that</c><00:43:37.679><c> John</c>

00:43:37.860 --> 00:43:40.159
is<00:43:38.119><c> dealing</c><00:43:38.380><c> with</c><00:43:38.679><c> in</c><00:43:38.920><c> his</c><00:43:39.260><c> life,</c>

00:43:40.659 --> 00:43:42.340
what<00:43:40.800><c> a</c><00:43:41.059><c> powerful</c><00:43:41.440><c> thing.</c>

00:43:42.619 --> 00:43:44.960
You<00:43:42.800><c> know,</c><00:43:43.639><c> you</c><00:43:43.940><c> come</c><00:43:44.179><c> to</c><00:43:44.400><c> the</c><00:43:44.619><c> brink</c>

00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:46.880
of<00:43:45.260><c> trying</c><00:43:45.559><c> to</c><00:43:46.360><c> set</c><00:43:46.619><c> foot</c>

00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:49.480
into<00:43:47.159><c> the</c><00:43:47.420><c> mind</c><00:43:47.659><c> of</c><00:43:47.880><c> a</c><00:43:48.000><c> brother</c><00:43:48.239><c> like</c><00:43:48.519><c> John</c>

00:43:49.780 --> 00:43:51.480
and<00:43:50.059><c> really</c><00:43:50.420><c> try</c><00:43:50.659><c> to</c><00:43:50.760><c> look</c><00:43:51.000><c> across</c>

00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:52.559
the<00:43:51.780><c> ecclesial</c><00:43:52.260><c> hall</c>

00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:56.400
And<00:43:54.699><c> then</c><00:43:54.780><c> you</c><00:43:54.940><c> do</c><00:43:55.119><c> some</c><00:43:55.420><c> public</c><00:43:55.860><c> ministry</c>

00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:57.960
and<00:43:56.860><c> you</c><00:43:56.980><c> go</c><00:43:57.119><c> and</c><00:43:57.340><c> visit</c><00:43:57.519><c> the</c><00:43:57.840><c> sick</c>

00:43:57.960 --> 00:43:59.880
and<00:43:58.119><c> you</c><00:43:58.260><c> do</c><00:43:58.380><c> all</c><00:43:58.619><c> those</c><00:43:58.840><c> things</c>

00:44:00.019 --> 00:44:01.179
and<00:44:00.320><c> then</c><00:44:00.539><c> to</c><00:44:00.719><c> find</c><00:44:00.960><c> out</c>

00:44:01.179 --> 00:44:02.260

00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:05.619
It<00:44:03.139><c> just</c><00:44:03.139><c> boggles</c><00:44:04.199><c> my</c><00:44:04.719><c> mind</c>

00:44:05.780 --> 00:44:07.280

00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:08.659
and<00:44:07.519><c> then</c><00:44:07.719><c> betray</c><00:44:08.139><c> Christ</c>

who<00:44:08.940><c> has</c><00:44:09.159><c> gone</c><00:44:09.360><c> through</c><00:44:09.579><c> all</c><00:44:09.800><c> the</c><00:44:09.900><c> things</c>

00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:11.980
even<00:44:10.360><c> with</c><00:44:10.659><c> their</c><00:44:10.940><c> misunderstandings</c>

00:44:11.980 --> 00:44:13.639

00:44:17.099 --> 00:44:22.159
But<00:44:17.760><c> John</c><00:44:18.079><c> doesn't</c><00:44:18.440><c> end</c><00:44:19.260><c> on</c><00:44:20.239><c> an</c><00:44:21.119><c> unhappy</c><00:44:21.719><c> note</c>

00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.679
because<00:44:23.159><c> really</c><00:44:23.639><c> what</c><00:44:23.940><c> it's</c><00:44:24.159><c> all</c><00:44:24.360><c> about</c>

for<00:44:24.880><c> them</c><00:44:25.079><c> sisters</c><00:44:25.500><c> is</c><00:44:26.079><c> God</c><00:44:26.760><c> manifestation.</c>

00:44:28.659 --> 00:44:30.059
That<00:44:28.880><c> really</c><00:44:29.219><c> is</c><00:44:29.480><c> the</c><00:44:29.719><c> crux</c>

00:44:31.460 --> 00:44:33.659

00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:16.440
But<00:49:14.980><c> if</c><00:49:15.119><c> we're</c><00:49:15.340><c> not</c><00:49:15.559><c> bearing</c><00:49:15.940><c> fruit,</c>
