Now,<00:05:35.459><c> it</c><00:05:35.560><c> was</c><00:05:35.680><c> suggested</c><00:05:36.480><c> that</c><00:05:37.279><c> the</c><00:05:37.620><c> antecedent</c><00:05:38.220><c> to</c><00:05:38.399><c> the</c><00:05:38.639><c> promise</c><00:05:39.160><c> is</c>

00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:56.100
Now,<00:05:51.600><c> this</c><00:05:51.740><c> would</c><00:05:51.980><c> remove</c><00:05:52.480><c> the</c><00:05:52.899><c> antecedent</c><00:05:53.579><c> to</c><00:05:53.879><c> promise</c><00:05:54.480><c> to</c><00:05:55.459><c> quite</c><00:05:55.860><c> a</c>

Peter's<00:05:58.120><c> speech,</c><00:05:59.000><c> away</c><00:05:59.240><c> from</c><00:05:59.579><c> the</c><00:05:59.860><c> gift</c><00:06:00.060><c> of</c><00:06:00.259><c> the</c><00:06:00.399><c> Holy</c><00:06:00.620><c> Spirit</c>

00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:08.180
Now,<00:06:03.959><c> I</c><00:06:04.180><c> believe</c><00:06:04.680><c> that</c><00:06:04.959><c> the</c><00:06:05.120><c> gift</c><00:06:05.379><c> referred</c><00:06:05.759><c> to</c><00:06:06.000><c> in</c><00:06:06.160><c> Acts</c><00:06:06.360><c> chapter</c><00:06:06.680><c> 2</c><00:06:07.579><c> is</c>

00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:10.740
the<00:06:08.519><c> promise</c><00:06:09.100><c> of</c><00:06:09.720><c> verse</c><00:06:09.959><c> 39</c>

00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:13.939

00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.339
Now,<00:06:14.740><c> there</c><00:06:14.879><c> are</c><00:06:14.959><c> a</c><00:06:14.959><c> number</c><00:06:15.160><c> of</c><00:06:15.240><c> reasons</c><00:06:15.600><c> for</c><00:06:15.819><c> this.</c>

00:06:19.220 --> 00:06:22.560
Being<00:06:19.600><c> therefore</c><00:06:20.100><c> exalted</c><00:06:20.600><c> at</c><00:06:20.779><c> the</c><00:06:20.920><c> right</c><00:06:21.160><c> hand</c><00:06:21.319><c> of</c><00:06:21.459><c> God</c><00:06:22.079><c> and</c>

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.100
having<00:06:22.779><c> received</c><00:06:23.319><c> from</c><00:06:23.500><c> the</c><00:06:23.740><c> Father</c>

00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:29.139

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.040
So,<00:06:30.740><c> it</c><00:06:30.759><c> seems</c><00:06:31.000><c> to</c><00:06:31.160><c> me</c><00:06:31.160><c> that</c><00:06:31.319><c> the</c><00:06:31.680><c> object</c><00:06:32.019><c> of</c><00:06:32.279><c> reference</c><00:06:32.579><c> here</c>

00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.980
And<00:06:35.740><c> this</c><00:06:35.980><c> also</c><00:06:36.319><c> seems</c><00:06:36.600><c> to</c><00:06:36.800><c> be</c><00:06:36.939><c> the</c><00:06:37.120><c> illusion</c><00:06:37.620><c> of</c><00:06:38.439><c> Acts</c><00:06:38.699><c> to</c><00:06:38.839><c> the</c>

00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.519
Here<00:06:57.379><c> Peter</c><00:06:57.639><c> is</c><00:06:57.959><c> recounting</c><00:06:58.519><c> the</c><00:06:58.740><c> pouring</c><00:06:58.899><c> out</c><00:06:59.060><c> of</c><00:06:59.180><c> the</c><00:06:59.319><c> Holy</c>

00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.100
Holy<00:08:11.100><c> Spirit.</c>

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.579
And<00:08:12.519><c> he</c><00:08:12.720><c> said,</c><00:08:13.120><c> and</c><00:08:13.259><c> so</c><00:08:13.459><c> on.</c>

00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.579
The<00:08:13.740><c> narrative</c><00:08:13.939><c> goes</c><00:08:14.160><c> on</c><00:08:14.459><c> to</c><00:08:15.180><c> record</c><00:08:15.620><c> the</c><00:08:15.860><c> events</c><00:08:16.019><c> that</c><00:08:16.319><c> happened.</c>

00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.120
But<00:08:16.959><c> the</c><00:08:17.160><c> significant</c><00:08:17.579><c> part</c><00:08:17.879><c> here</c><00:08:18.160><c> is</c><00:08:18.319><c> verse</c><00:08:18.519><c> six.</c>

00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.699
And<00:08:19.519><c> when</c><00:08:19.680><c> Paul</c><00:08:20.040><c> had</c><00:08:20.300><c> laid</c><00:08:20.540><c> his</c><00:08:20.759><c> hands</c><00:08:21.000><c> upon</c><00:08:21.360><c> them,</c><00:08:22.199><c> the</c><00:08:22.379><c> Holy</c>

00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:24.920
Spirit<00:08:23.060><c> came</c><00:08:23.379><c> on</c><00:08:23.639><c> them</c><00:08:23.980><c> and</c><00:08:24.379><c> they</c><00:08:24.660><c> spoke</c>

00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.420
with<00:08:25.180><c> tongues</c><00:08:25.439><c> and</c><00:08:25.680><c> prophesied.</c>

00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:30.920
So<00:08:27.060><c> it</c><00:08:27.199><c> seems</c><00:08:27.439><c> to</c><00:08:27.600><c> me</c><00:08:27.699><c> you</c><00:08:27.839><c> have</c><00:08:28.139><c> in</c><00:08:28.339><c> Acts</c><00:08:28.560><c> chapter</c><00:08:28.839><c> 19</c><00:08:29.500><c> what</c><00:08:30.040><c> Peter</c><00:08:30.319><c> alludes</c><00:08:30.720><c> to</c>

00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:32.039
in<00:08:31.079><c> Acts</c><00:08:31.259><c> chapter</c><00:08:31.600><c> 11</c>

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.179
and<00:08:32.379><c> what</c><00:08:32.580><c> occurred</c><00:08:32.899><c> in</c><00:08:33.100><c> Acts</c><00:08:33.279><c> chapter</c><00:08:33.639><c> 10.</c>

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.519
It<00:08:34.539><c> was</c><00:08:34.759><c> the</c><00:08:35.019><c> promised</c><00:08:35.360><c> gift</c><00:08:35.740><c> of</c><00:08:36.279><c> Acts</c><00:08:36.519><c> chapter</c><00:08:36.879><c> 2.</c>

00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:40.360
And<00:08:37.899><c> therefore</c><00:08:38.139><c> we</c><00:08:38.320><c> must</c><00:08:38.620><c> read</c><00:08:38.879><c> the</c><00:08:39.179><c> immediate</c><00:08:39.559><c> antecedent</c>

00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:44.759
to<00:08:40.659><c> the</c><00:08:40.840><c> promise,</c><00:08:42.019><c> the</c><00:08:42.279><c> gift</c><00:08:42.720><c> of</c><00:08:43.240><c> the</c><00:08:43.379><c> Holy</c><00:08:43.679><c> Spirit.</c>

00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.460
And<00:08:45.340><c> now,</c><00:08:45.919><c> 1</c><00:08:46.039><c> Corinthians</c><00:08:46.559><c> chapter</c><00:08:47.200><c> 14.</c>

00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:06.500
Now,<00:09:03.360><c> brothers</c><00:09:03.559><c> and</c><00:09:03.779><c> sisters,</c><00:09:04.820><c> because</c><00:09:05.200><c> there</c><00:09:05.480><c> is</c><00:09:05.860><c> such</c><00:09:06.240><c> an</c>

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.639
As<00:09:17.840><c> we</c><00:09:17.980><c> know,</c><00:09:18.220><c> this</c><00:09:18.379><c> is</c><00:09:18.620><c> understood</c><00:09:18.960><c> in</c><00:09:19.139><c> a</c><00:09:19.379><c> very</c><00:09:19.679><c> large</c><00:09:20.240><c> number</c>

00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:28.600
To<00:09:24.299><c> the</c><00:09:24.460><c> one</c><00:09:24.600><c> individual,</c><00:09:25.659><c> it</c><00:09:25.720><c> means</c><00:09:26.039><c> being</c><00:09:26.379><c> engaged</c><00:09:26.899><c> in</c><00:09:27.139><c> social</c><00:09:27.600><c> work,</c><00:09:28.440><c> what</c>

00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:29.580
he<00:09:28.779><c> would</c><00:09:28.960><c> consider</c><00:09:29.320><c> doing</c>

00:09:31.179 --> 00:09:34.440
To<00:09:31.340><c> another</c><00:09:31.620><c> fellow,</c><00:09:31.860><c> it</c><00:09:31.940><c> means</c><00:09:32.340><c> preaching</c><00:09:32.779><c> to</c><00:09:32.940><c> him</c><00:09:33.200><c> the</c><00:09:33.480><c> doctrines</c><00:09:34.120><c> of</c>

the<00:09:34.659><c> truth.</c>

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.100
And<00:09:35.799><c> so</c><00:09:35.919><c> there's</c><00:09:36.059><c> quite</c><00:09:36.240><c> a</c><00:09:36.379><c> latitude</c><00:09:36.860><c> when</c><00:09:37.360><c> we</c><00:09:37.559><c> come</c><00:09:37.720><c> to</c><00:09:37.879><c> this</c>

00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.820
Can<00:09:42.659><c> we</c><00:09:43.340><c> pass</c><00:09:43.779><c> a</c><00:09:43.940><c> few</c><00:09:44.100><c> comments</c><00:09:44.559><c> in</c><00:09:44.940><c> general?</c>

00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:52.399

00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:59.679
Of<00:09:56.659><c> course,</c><00:09:56.879><c> it's</c><00:09:57.120><c> agape</c><00:09:57.539><c> in</c><00:09:57.919><c> 1</c><00:09:58.120><c> Corinthians</c><00:09:58.519><c> 14.</c>

00:09:59.820 --> 00:10:02.840
But<00:10:00.019><c> the</c><00:10:00.220><c> Greeks</c><00:10:00.379><c> made</c><00:10:00.700><c> finer</c><00:10:01.039><c> distinction</c><00:10:01.720><c> with</c><00:10:02.139><c> their</c><00:10:02.340><c> words</c><00:10:02.639><c> than</c>

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:09.000

00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:14.419

The<00:15:29.480><c> love</c><00:15:29.679><c> is</c><00:15:29.879><c> a</c><00:15:29.960><c> relationship</c><00:15:30.600><c> with</c><00:15:30.940><c> God</c><00:15:31.480><c> that</c><00:15:31.879><c> an</c><00:15:32.120><c> individual</c><00:15:32.500><c> has,</c><00:15:33.279><c> but</c>

00:15:47.899 --> 00:15:51.500
And<00:15:48.919><c> so</c><00:15:49.139><c> you</c><00:15:49.340><c> recall</c><00:15:49.639><c> at</c><00:15:49.919><c> Corinth,</c><00:15:50.620><c> the</c><00:15:50.840><c> Apostle</c><00:15:51.240><c> said,</c>

00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:45.940
They're<00:30:42.960><c> reliable</c><00:30:43.380><c> witnesses,</c><00:30:44.599><c> although</c><00:30:44.779><c> some</c><00:30:45.099><c> have</c><00:30:45.339><c> fallen</c><00:30:45.519><c> asleep.</c>

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:49.200
Then<00:30:46.440><c> he</c><00:30:46.660><c> appeared</c><00:30:46.859><c> to</c><00:30:47.079><c> James</c><00:30:47.559><c> and</c><00:30:48.140><c> to</c><00:30:48.440><c> all</c><00:30:48.559><c> the</c><00:30:48.740><c> apostles.</c>

because<00:34:22.579><c> he</c><00:34:22.820><c> teaches</c><00:34:23.179><c> that</c><00:34:23.380><c> the</c><00:34:23.579><c> soul</c><00:34:23.699><c> can</c><00:34:23.820><c> get</c><00:34:24.000><c> along</c><00:34:24.219><c> quite</c>

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:25.940
well<00:34:24.679><c> without</c><00:34:24.900><c> the</c><00:34:25.079><c> body.</c>

00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:28.760
Yet<00:34:26.500><c> Paul</c><00:34:26.820><c> says,</c><00:34:27.159><c> if</c><00:34:27.159><c> there</c><00:34:27.380><c> is</c><00:34:27.380><c> no</c><00:34:27.659><c> resurrection,</c>

00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.460
then<00:34:28.980><c> those</c><00:34:29.260><c> who</c><00:34:29.380><c> have</c><00:34:29.559><c> fallen</c><00:34:29.719><c> asleep</c><00:34:30.059><c> have</c><00:34:30.340><c> perished.</c>

00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:34.960
And<00:34:32.280><c> so</c><00:34:32.460><c> you</c><00:34:32.619><c> see,</c><00:34:32.800><c> in</c><00:34:32.920><c> the</c><00:34:33.159><c> context</c><00:34:33.500><c> of</c><00:34:33.719><c> this</c><00:34:33.920><c> passage,</c>

00:34:35.260 --> 00:34:38.119
you<00:34:35.360><c> have</c><00:34:35.579><c> an</c><00:34:35.980><c> irrefutable</c><00:34:36.880><c> proposition</c>

00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:42.539
that<00:34:38.739><c> one</c><00:34:39.019><c> cannot</c><00:34:39.420><c> survive</c><00:34:40.320><c> apart</c><00:34:40.960><c> from</c><00:34:41.159><c> a</c><00:34:41.260><c> body</c><00:34:41.480><c> resurrection,</c>

00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:44.780
and<00:34:43.219><c> that</c><00:34:43.380><c> if</c><00:34:43.519><c> the</c><00:34:43.760><c> dead</c><00:34:43.940><c> are</c><00:34:44.199><c> not</c><00:34:44.460><c> raised,</c>

00:34:44.900 --> 00:34:48.099
then<00:34:45.000><c> those</c><00:34:45.260><c> who</c><00:34:45.420><c> have</c><00:34:45.579><c> fallen</c><00:34:45.800><c> asleep</c><00:34:46.099><c> in</c><00:34:46.320><c> Christ</c><00:34:46.639><c> have</c><00:34:47.139><c> perished.</c>

00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.539
Now<00:34:48.559><c> that's</c><00:34:48.800><c> point</c><00:34:49.000><c> number</c><00:34:49.320><c> two</c><00:34:49.860><c> for</c><00:34:50.380><c> Mr.</c><00:34:50.820><c> Mormon.</c>

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:55.139
So<00:34:52.500><c> we</c><00:34:52.699><c> see</c><00:34:52.860><c> that</c><00:34:53.000><c> the</c><00:34:53.159><c> argument</c><00:34:53.500><c> here</c><00:34:53.860><c> is</c><00:34:54.219><c> really</c><00:34:54.579><c> about</c><00:34:54.880><c> the</c>

00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:56.760
resurrection<00:34:55.539><c> of</c><00:34:55.760><c> Christ.</c>

00:34:56.980 --> 00:34:59.360
We<00:34:57.139><c> find</c><00:34:57.380><c> we</c><00:34:57.539><c> have</c><00:34:57.679><c> a</c><00:34:57.840><c> section</c><00:34:58.139><c> in</c><00:34:58.360><c> parenthesis,</c>

00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:02.440
beginning<00:34:59.860><c> at</c><00:35:00.119><c> verse</c><00:35:00.280><c> 20,</c><00:35:01.099><c> down</c><00:35:01.360><c> to</c><00:35:01.539><c> the</c><00:35:01.619><c> end</c><00:35:01.760><c> of</c><00:35:01.880><c> verse</c><00:35:02.079><c> 28.</c>

00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:06.659
But<00:35:02.639><c> the</c><00:35:02.860><c> argument</c><00:35:03.219><c> really</c><00:35:03.559><c> continues</c><00:35:04.000><c> now</c><00:35:04.519><c> at</c><00:35:05.099><c> verse</c><00:35:05.380><c> 29.</c>

00:35:06.780 --> 00:35:10.340
Otherwise,<00:35:07.960><c> what</c><00:35:08.119><c> do</c><00:35:08.320><c> people</c><00:35:08.679><c> mean</c><00:35:09.019><c> by</c><00:35:09.260><c> being</c><00:35:09.559><c> baptized</c><00:35:10.099><c> on</c>

00:35:11.219 --> 00:35:13.420
if<00:35:11.800><c> the</c><00:35:12.059><c> dead</c><00:35:12.159><c> are</c><00:35:12.380><c> not</c><00:35:12.579><c> raised</c><00:35:12.840><c> at</c><00:35:13.079><c> all?</c>

00:35:13.739 --> 00:35:17.340
Why<00:35:14.000><c> are</c><00:35:14.219><c> people</c><00:35:14.880><c> baptized</c><00:35:15.739><c> on</c><00:35:16.099><c> their</c><00:35:16.360><c> behalf?</c>

00:35:17.380 --> 00:35:19.900
So<00:35:17.659><c> we</c><00:35:17.840><c> look</c><00:35:18.039><c> at</c><00:35:18.280><c> several</c><00:35:18.699><c> translations.</c>

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.940
We're<00:35:20.679><c> not</c><00:35:20.920><c> helped</c><00:35:21.139><c> too</c><00:35:21.360><c> much</c><00:35:21.500><c> by</c><00:35:21.739><c> the</c><00:35:21.880><c> translations.</c>

00:35:23.219 --> 00:35:25.019
Then<00:35:23.420><c> we</c><00:35:23.559><c> take</c><00:35:23.820><c> the</c><00:35:24.039><c> Greek</c><00:35:24.219><c> text</c><00:35:24.639><c> out,</c>

00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:29.559

Nestle's<00:35:32.099><c> is</c><00:35:32.260><c> used</c><00:35:32.599><c> quite</c><00:35:32.860><c> a</c><00:35:33.039><c> lot</c><00:35:33.139><c> in</c><00:35:33.360><c> Ontario.</c>

00:35:34.139 --> 00:35:36.159
It<00:35:34.300><c> has</c><00:35:34.519><c> the</c><00:35:34.760><c> Greek</c><00:35:34.960><c> text</c><00:35:35.219><c> on</c><00:35:35.380><c> the</c><00:35:35.500><c> one</c><00:35:35.760><c> side,</c>

00:35:41.460 --> 00:35:44.360
And<00:35:41.940><c> we</c><00:35:42.119><c> find</c><00:35:42.380><c> this</c><00:35:42.619><c> out</c><00:35:42.780><c> about</c><00:35:42.980><c> the</c><00:35:43.199><c> Greek</c><00:35:43.420><c> text.</c>

00:35:45.019 --> 00:35:47.579
We<00:35:45.320><c> find</c><00:35:45.639><c> out,</c><00:35:45.840><c> for</c><00:35:46.079><c> example,</c><00:35:47.099><c> otherwise,</c>

00:35:47.579 --> 00:35:50.559
what<00:35:47.860><c> do</c><00:35:48.099><c> people</c><00:35:48.420><c> mean</c><00:35:48.719><c> by</c><00:35:48.980><c> being</c><00:35:49.280><c> baptized</c><00:35:49.800><c> on</c><00:35:50.019><c> behalf</c><00:35:50.360><c> of</c>

00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:00.139
Now,<00:35:57.300><c> that's</c><00:35:57.539><c> interesting</c><00:35:57.920><c> because</c><00:35:58.679><c> Jesus</c><00:35:59.239><c> alluded,</c><00:35:59.920><c> or</c>

00:36:00.139 --> 00:36:00.739
Paul<00:36:00.420><c> alluded,</c>

00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:03.760

00:36:03.860 --> 00:36:07.079
If<00:36:04.000><c> Christ</c><00:36:04.280><c> is</c><00:36:04.539><c> not</c><00:36:04.800><c> raised,</c><00:36:05.539><c> your</c><00:36:05.760><c> faith</c><00:36:06.000><c> is</c><00:36:06.280><c> vain.</c>

00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:10.119
Now,<00:36:07.579><c> it</c><00:36:07.619><c> would</c><00:36:07.880><c> make</c><00:36:08.079><c> sense</c><00:36:08.420><c> then,</c><00:36:09.380><c> otherwise,</c>

00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:15.980
what<00:36:10.880><c> do</c><00:36:11.199><c> people</c><00:36:12.099><c> mean</c><00:36:12.739><c> by</c><00:36:13.019><c> being</c><00:36:13.360><c> baptized</c><00:36:13.880><c> on</c><00:36:14.139><c> behalf</c><00:36:14.699><c> of</c>

00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:21.760
if<00:36:18.699><c> the</c><00:36:19.260><c> believers</c><00:36:19.820><c> are</c><00:36:20.599><c> not</c><00:36:20.820><c> raised</c><00:36:21.079><c> at</c><00:36:21.320><c> all?</c>

Why<00:36:22.360><c> are</c><00:36:22.579><c> people</c><00:36:22.940><c> baptized</c><00:36:23.719><c> on</c><00:36:24.039><c> their</c><00:36:24.300><c> behalf?</c>

00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:26.480
Does<00:36:25.400><c> this</c><00:36:25.639><c> fit</c><00:36:25.760><c> the</c><00:36:26.000><c> context?</c>

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:30.300
Well,<00:36:27.139><c> we</c><00:36:27.340><c> continue</c><00:36:27.659><c> to</c><00:36:27.880><c> read</c><00:36:28.019><c> down</c><00:36:28.320><c> through</c><00:36:28.500><c> 1</c><00:36:28.699><c> Corinthians</c><00:36:29.079><c> 15.</c>

How<00:39:12.139><c> are</c><00:39:12.260><c> the</c><00:39:12.440><c> dead</c><00:39:12.579><c> raised</c><00:39:12.880><c> up,</c><00:39:13.159><c> he</c><00:39:13.320><c> says</c><00:39:13.440><c> some</c><00:39:13.699><c> man</c><00:39:13.920><c> will</c><00:39:14.179><c> say.</c>

00:39:14.980 --> 00:39:18.800
And<00:39:15.099><c> he</c><00:39:15.179><c> goes</c><00:39:15.360><c> on</c><00:39:15.599><c> to</c><00:39:15.800><c> say,</c><00:39:16.440><c> you</c><00:39:16.619><c> don't</c><00:39:17.059><c> sow</c><00:39:17.300><c> the</c><00:39:18.300><c> grain</c><00:39:18.579><c> that</c>

00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:19.539
shall<00:39:19.000><c> be.</c>

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.139
And<00:39:20.199><c> that</c><00:39:20.340><c> which</c><00:39:20.480><c> you</c><00:39:20.739><c> sow</c><00:39:20.880><c> has</c><00:39:21.139><c> to</c><00:39:21.360><c> die</c><00:39:21.639><c> first.</c>

00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:23.900
And<00:39:22.559><c> then</c><00:39:22.719><c> it</c><00:39:22.880><c> produces</c><00:39:23.260><c> the</c><00:39:23.579><c> grain.</c>

00:39:23.900 --> 00:39:27.019
And<00:39:24.780><c> what</c><00:39:24.980><c> you</c><00:39:25.219><c> sow</c><00:39:25.380><c> is</c><00:39:25.559><c> not</c><00:39:25.739><c> the</c><00:39:25.940><c> body</c><00:39:26.159><c> which</c><00:39:26.360><c> is</c><00:39:26.559><c> to</c><00:39:26.719><c> be,</c>

00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:30.460
but<00:39:27.440><c> a</c><00:39:27.619><c> bare</c><00:39:27.840><c> kernel,</c><00:39:28.500><c> perhaps</c><00:39:28.960><c> of</c><00:39:29.219><c> wheat</c><00:39:29.400><c> or</c><00:39:29.699><c> some</c><00:39:29.900><c> other</c><00:39:30.119><c> grain.</c>

00:39:30.940 --> 00:39:34.219
God<00:39:31.179><c> gives</c><00:39:31.460><c> it</c><00:39:31.659><c> a</c><00:39:31.739><c> body,</c><00:39:31.960><c> he</c><00:39:32.179><c> says,</c><00:39:32.840><c> as</c><00:39:33.079><c> it</c><00:39:33.199><c> is</c><00:39:33.380><c> chosen.</c>

00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:35.820
So<00:39:34.559><c> he</c><00:39:34.679><c> says</c><00:39:34.880><c> there's</c><00:39:35.139><c> a</c><00:39:35.280><c> difference</c>

00:39:35.820 --> 00:39:39.360
between<00:39:36.480><c> the</c><00:39:36.739><c> piece</c><00:39:36.920><c> of</c><00:39:37.119><c> grain</c><00:39:37.260><c> that</c><00:39:37.460><c> you</c><00:39:37.719><c> sow,</c><00:39:37.960><c> the</c><00:39:38.199><c> grain</c><00:39:38.519><c> seed,</c>

00:39:39.420 --> 00:39:41.159

00:39:41.219 --> 00:39:43.119
Different,<00:39:42.019><c> but</c><00:39:42.280><c> there's</c><00:39:42.519><c> an</c><00:39:42.739><c> identity.</c>

00:39:43.420 --> 00:39:45.179
It's<00:39:43.800><c> still</c><00:39:44.059><c> the</c><00:39:44.219><c> same</c><00:39:44.420><c> kernel</c><00:39:44.719><c> of</c><00:39:44.940><c> grain.</c>

00:39:45.340 --> 00:39:47.780
It's<00:39:45.739><c> still</c><00:39:45.960><c> wheat</c><00:39:46.300><c> or</c><00:39:46.699><c> barley</c><00:39:47.119><c> or</c><00:39:47.480><c> oats.</c>

00:39:48.179 --> 00:39:51.420
It's<00:39:48.539><c> different,</c><00:39:49.460><c> but</c><00:39:49.559><c> it</c><00:39:49.699><c> has</c><00:39:50.679><c> an</c><00:39:51.000><c> identity.</c>

00:39:51.420 --> 00:39:55.820
And<00:39:52.099><c> so</c><00:39:52.280><c> he</c><00:39:52.400><c> goes</c><00:39:52.599><c> on</c><00:39:53.059><c> in</c><00:39:53.320><c> 1</c><00:39:53.480><c> Corinthians</c><00:39:54.000><c> chapter</c><00:39:54.619><c> 15.</c>

00:39:56.239 --> 00:40:02.420
Well,<00:39:57.840><c> the</c><00:39:57.960><c> implication</c><00:39:58.699><c> for</c><00:39:59.199><c> our</c><00:39:59.400><c> young</c><00:39:59.539><c> person</c><00:39:59.960><c> who's</c><00:40:01.840><c> gone</c><00:40:02.119><c> home</c>

00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:04.800

00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:06.900
what<00:40:04.920><c> it</c><00:40:05.119><c> means</c><00:40:05.260><c> to</c><00:40:05.460><c> be</c><00:40:05.579><c> baptized</c><00:40:05.980><c> on</c><00:40:06.159><c> behalf</c><00:40:06.400><c> of</c><00:40:06.619><c> the</c><00:40:06.639><c> dead</c>

00:40:06.900 --> 00:40:08.739
has<00:40:07.400><c> been</c><00:40:07.559><c> this.</c>

00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:12.300
A,<00:40:10.159><c> what</c><00:40:10.460><c> do</c><00:40:10.659><c> we</c><00:40:10.840><c> find</c><00:40:11.079><c> in</c><00:40:11.280><c> the</c><00:40:11.619><c> context</c>

00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:16.019
that<00:40:13.000><c> would</c><00:40:13.219><c> help</c><00:40:13.500><c> to</c><00:40:13.800><c> elucidate</c><00:40:14.639><c> this</c><00:40:14.940><c> passage?</c>

00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:18.719
In<00:40:16.780><c> other</c><00:40:16.960><c> words,</c><00:40:17.440><c> what's</c><00:40:17.820><c> the</c><00:40:18.019><c> argument</c>

00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:22.340
that's<00:40:19.320><c> being</c><00:40:19.599><c> portrayed</c><00:40:20.059><c> here</c><00:40:20.340><c> in</c><00:40:20.500><c> 1</c><00:40:20.659><c> Corinthians</c><00:40:21.039><c> 15?</c>

00:40:22.820 --> 00:40:26.519
Now,<00:40:23.099><c> in</c><00:40:23.239><c> learning</c><00:40:23.519><c> through</c><00:40:24.059><c> school,</c><00:40:24.659><c> learning</c><00:40:24.980><c> theory</c><00:40:25.280><c> at</c><00:40:25.500><c> school,</c>

00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:31.639
it's<00:40:26.900><c> almost</c><00:40:27.460><c> axiomatic</c><00:40:28.460><c> that</c><00:40:29.460><c> the</c><00:40:29.860><c> whole</c><00:40:30.420><c> is</c><00:40:31.019><c> greater</c>

00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:33.780

00:40:33.820 --> 00:40:35.559
And<00:40:34.039><c> that's</c><00:40:34.280><c> the</c><00:40:34.380><c> Gestalt</c><00:40:34.739><c> theory</c><00:40:35.059><c> of</c><00:40:35.239><c> learning.</c>

00:40:35.980 --> 00:40:38.940
That<00:40:36.239><c> the</c><00:40:36.539><c> whole</c><00:40:36.760><c> is</c><00:40:37.059><c> greater</c><00:40:37.239><c> than</c><00:40:37.420><c> the</c><00:40:37.440><c> sum</c><00:40:37.599><c> of</c><00:40:37.739><c> the</c><00:40:37.940><c> parts.</c>

00:40:38.980 --> 00:40:41.400
Therefore,<00:40:39.380><c> young</c><00:40:39.539><c> people</c><00:40:39.840><c> get</c><00:40:40.019><c> the</c><00:40:40.300><c> argument</c><00:40:40.619><c> of</c><00:40:40.780><c> the</c><00:40:40.980><c> passage,</c>

00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:44.360
get<00:40:41.960><c> the</c><00:40:42.199><c> theme</c><00:40:42.300><c> of</c><00:40:42.460><c> the</c><00:40:42.659><c> passage,</c><00:40:43.119><c> and</c><00:40:43.840><c> then</c><00:40:44.019><c> the</c><00:40:44.159><c> pieces</c>

00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:44.920
will<00:40:44.619><c> fit.</c>

00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:47.539
The<00:40:45.539><c> whole</c><00:40:45.739><c> is</c><00:40:45.960><c> greater</c><00:40:46.380><c> than</c><00:40:46.719><c> the</c><00:40:46.780><c> sum</c><00:40:46.920><c> of</c><00:40:47.059><c> the</c><00:40:47.219><c> parts.</c>

00:40:47.539 --> 00:40:50.219
And<00:40:48.440><c> then</c><00:40:48.599><c> we</c><00:40:48.719><c> can</c><00:40:48.880><c> come</c><00:40:49.099><c> down</c><00:40:49.280><c> and</c><00:40:49.380><c> take</c><00:40:49.539><c> the</c><00:40:49.739><c> Apostle's</c>

00:40:50.219 --> 00:40:51.000
argument<00:40:50.480><c> apart.</c>

00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.880
First<00:40:51.639><c> of</c><00:40:51.840><c> all,</c><00:40:52.699><c> he</c><00:40:52.800><c> argues</c><00:40:53.039><c> for</c><00:40:53.219><c> the</c><00:40:53.380><c> resurrection</c><00:40:53.780><c> of</c><00:40:53.980><c> Christ.</c>

00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:57.239
He's<00:40:55.239><c> got</c><00:40:55.340><c> the</c><00:40:55.539><c> empirical</c><00:40:55.960><c> evidence</c><00:40:56.320><c> that</c><00:40:56.500><c> Christ</c><00:40:56.800><c> rose</c><00:40:57.079><c> from</c>

00:40:57.239 --> 00:40:58.119
the<00:40:57.340><c> dead.</c>

00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:01.059
Next,<00:40:59.219><c> he</c><00:40:59.260><c> says,</c><00:40:59.760><c> well,</c><00:40:59.760><c> if</c><00:40:59.880><c> Christ</c><00:41:00.199><c> rose</c><00:41:00.460><c> from</c><00:41:00.619><c> the</c><00:41:00.739><c> dead,</c>

00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:04.960
how<00:41:01.679><c> do</c><00:41:01.860><c> you</c><00:41:01.960><c> rule</c><00:41:02.119><c> out</c><00:41:02.300><c> a</c><00:41:02.579><c> priori</c><00:41:03.099><c> that</c><00:41:03.280><c> dead</c><00:41:03.519><c> people</c><00:41:03.840><c> can</c><00:41:04.099><c> rise?</c>

00:41:05.659 --> 00:41:07.960
He<00:41:05.880><c> then</c><00:41:06.119><c> proceeds</c><00:41:06.619><c> to</c><00:41:06.880><c> argue</c><00:41:07.139><c> that,</c><00:41:07.539><c> well,</c><00:41:07.539><c> if</c><00:41:07.679><c> the</c><00:41:07.820><c> dead</c>

00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:09.440
don't<00:41:08.239><c> rise,</c>

00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:12.800
then<00:41:09.940><c> those</c><00:41:10.239><c> who</c><00:41:10.400><c> have</c><00:41:10.599><c> fallen</c><00:41:10.760><c> asleep,</c><00:41:11.199><c> your</c><00:41:11.480><c> loved</c><00:41:11.800><c> ones,</c>

have<00:41:13.280><c> perished.</c>

00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:17.960
He<00:41:15.119><c> finally</c><00:41:15.460><c> says,</c><00:41:15.980><c> and</c><00:41:15.980><c> what</c><00:41:16.199><c> shall</c><00:41:16.400><c> they</c><00:41:16.659><c> do,</c><00:41:17.500><c> those</c><00:41:17.780><c> who</c>

00:41:21.820 --> 00:41:23.619
What's<00:41:22.139><c> it</c><00:41:22.199><c> going</c><00:41:22.320><c> to</c><00:41:22.500><c> profit</c><00:41:22.719><c> them?</c>

00:44:57.780 --> 00:45:01.500
And<00:44:58.219><c> one</c><00:44:58.380><c> of</c><00:44:58.519><c> the</c><00:44:58.619><c> big</c><00:44:58.760><c> helps</c><00:44:59.199><c> is</c><00:44:59.699><c> to</c><00:44:59.940><c> use</c><00:45:00.059><c> a</c><00:45:00.280><c> simple</c><00:45:00.739><c> system.</c>

00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:05.760
And<00:45:01.840><c> so</c><00:45:01.980><c> we</c><00:45:02.219><c> use</c><00:45:02.420><c> a</c><00:45:02.559><c> two</c><00:45:02.739><c> color</c><00:45:03.000><c> system,</c><00:45:03.880><c> red</c><00:45:04.260><c> and</c><00:45:04.800><c> blue.</c>

00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.780
Now<00:46:43.340><c> you</c><00:46:43.519><c> think</c><00:46:43.699><c> of</c><00:46:43.860><c> a</c><00:46:44.000><c> situation</c><00:46:44.440><c> at</c><00:46:44.699><c> Corinth,</c><00:46:45.119><c> brothers</c><00:46:45.179><c> and</c><00:46:45.400><c> sisters,</c>

00:46:57.139 --> 00:47:00.599

00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:06.039
But<00:47:02.179><c> we'll</c><00:47:02.380><c> move</c><00:47:02.659><c> back</c><00:47:02.980><c> into</c><00:47:03.239><c> the</c><00:47:03.460><c> context</c><00:47:03.980><c> of</c><00:47:04.539><c> our</c><00:47:04.719><c> early</c><00:47:04.920><c> remarks</c>

00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:15.320
Well,<00:47:12.300><c> he</c><00:47:12.360><c> had</c><00:47:12.579><c> a</c><00:47:12.800><c> divided</c><00:47:13.039><c> house</c><00:47:13.360><c> at</c><00:47:13.619><c> Corinth</c><00:47:13.960><c> for</c><00:47:14.420><c> his</c><00:47:14.659><c> preaching</c><00:47:14.940><c> work.</c>

00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:19.659
He<00:47:15.920><c> had</c><00:47:16.099><c> those</c><00:47:16.380><c> who</c><00:47:16.519><c> said,</c><00:47:16.880><c> I</c><00:47:16.880><c> am</c><00:47:17.000><c> of</c><00:47:17.199><c> Apollos,</c><00:47:18.039><c> I</c><00:47:18.260><c> am</c><00:47:18.380><c> of</c><00:47:18.599><c> Cephas,</c><00:47:19.340><c> I</c><00:47:19.559><c> am</c>

00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:23.900
And<00:47:20.980><c> so</c><00:47:21.099><c> he</c><00:47:21.159><c> didn't</c><00:47:21.400><c> even</c><00:47:21.719><c> have</c><00:47:21.920><c> a</c><00:47:22.239><c> unit</c><00:47:22.360><c> in</c><00:47:22.559><c> his</c><00:47:22.760><c> Ecclesia</c><00:47:23.320><c> to</c>

00:47:25.659 --> 00:47:27.000
He<00:47:25.880><c> had</c><00:47:26.139><c> a</c><00:47:26.320><c> factious</c><00:47:26.639><c> house.</c>

00:47:27.500 --> 00:47:31.039
Not<00:47:27.760><c> only</c><00:47:28.000><c> that,</c><00:47:28.199><c> he</c><00:47:28.280><c> had</c><00:47:28.460><c> those</c><00:47:28.739><c> who</c><00:47:28.940><c> said,</c><00:47:29.380><c> the</c><00:47:29.579><c> Apostle</c><00:47:30.039><c> Paul,</c><00:47:30.739><c> he</c>

00:47:33.340 --> 00:47:37.659
We<00:47:33.780><c> want</c><00:47:34.039><c> something</c><00:47:34.400><c> that's</c><00:47:34.639><c> more</c><00:47:35.179><c> sophisticated,</c><00:47:36.280><c> something</c><00:47:36.619><c> more</c><00:47:36.940><c> mysterious,</c>

00:47:37.699 --> 00:47:39.980

00:47:39.980 --> 00:47:44.500
And<00:47:41.000><c> so</c><00:47:41.179><c> the</c><00:47:41.360><c> Apostles</c><00:47:41.880><c> had</c><00:47:42.119><c> Jews</c><00:47:42.619><c> who</c><00:47:43.179><c> demanded</c><00:47:43.579><c> a</c><00:47:43.840><c> sign</c><00:47:44.000><c> from</c><00:47:44.260><c> heaven,</c>

00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:52.960
They<00:47:50.800><c> developed</c><00:47:51.179><c> their</c><00:47:51.420><c> own</c><00:47:51.639><c> theory</c><00:47:51.900><c> of</c><00:47:52.159><c> ethics.</c>

00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:57.980
The<00:47:54.000><c> Ecclesia</c><00:47:54.340><c> wanted</c><00:47:54.599><c> someone</c><00:47:54.960><c> who</c><00:47:55.219><c> had</c><00:47:55.480><c> some</c><00:47:56.239><c> oratorical</c><00:47:56.960><c> ability,</c>

00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:06.019
And<00:48:04.139><c> so</c><00:48:04.340><c> you</c><00:48:04.400><c> see</c><00:48:04.500><c> the</c><00:48:04.659><c> Apostle</c><00:48:05.039><c> Paul</c><00:48:05.239><c> has</c><00:48:05.380><c> quite</c><00:48:05.579><c> a</c><00:48:05.780><c> checkered</c>
