00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.000
It's<00:14:47.919><c> the</c><00:14:48.059><c> same</c><00:14:48.379><c> word,</c><00:14:49.139><c> the</c><00:14:49.320><c> same</c><00:14:49.519><c> idea.</c><00:14:50.279><c> Everything</c><00:14:50.580><c> was</c><00:14:50.860><c> in</c>

00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.519
But<00:14:54.019><c> the</c><00:14:54.139><c> man</c><00:14:54.240><c> had</c><00:14:54.480><c> not</c><00:14:54.720><c> replaced</c><00:14:55.379><c> in</c><00:14:55.779><c> the</c><00:14:56.179><c> room</c><00:14:56.500><c> of</c><00:14:56.820><c> his</c><00:14:57.159><c> life</c>

00:44:27.820 --> 00:44:31.179
my<00:44:28.219><c> dear</c><00:44:28.440><c> sisters,</c><00:44:29.340><c> is</c><00:44:29.480><c> that</c><00:44:29.820><c> you</c><00:44:30.059><c> are</c><00:44:30.800><c> not</c>

00:44:31.179 --> 00:44:35.000

00:44:35.219 --> 00:44:38.159
You<00:44:35.440><c> are</c><00:44:35.760><c> not</c><00:44:35.960><c> to</c><00:44:36.199><c> take</c><00:44:36.320><c> the</c><00:44:36.460><c> initiative</c><00:44:36.920><c> in</c><00:44:37.340><c> matters</c><00:44:37.699><c> worship.</c>

00:44:38.260 --> 00:44:40.519
You<00:44:38.380><c> are</c><00:44:38.679><c> not</c><00:44:39.119><c> to</c><00:44:39.440><c> assume</c><00:44:39.820><c> responsibility.</c>

00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:44.360
You<00:44:41.000><c> are</c><00:44:41.420><c> not</c><00:44:41.940><c> to</c><00:44:42.159><c> be</c><00:44:42.320><c> the</c><00:44:42.559><c> instigator</c><00:44:42.960><c> of</c><00:44:43.280><c> these</c><00:44:43.539><c> important</c><00:44:43.940><c> things.</c>

00:44:44.780 --> 00:44:46.780
The<00:44:44.960><c> support,</c><00:44:45.360><c> the</c><00:44:45.519><c> help,</c><00:44:45.880><c> yes.</c>

00:44:47.460 --> 00:44:49.960
But<00:44:47.659><c> just</c><00:44:47.940><c> as</c><00:44:48.059><c> one</c><00:44:48.199><c> can</c><00:44:48.519><c> be</c><00:44:49.039><c> as</c><00:44:49.179><c> effulgent</c>

00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.880
about<00:44:50.400><c> the</c><00:44:50.639><c> influence</c><00:44:50.940><c> of</c><00:44:52.840><c> sisters</c><00:44:53.139><c> within</c><00:44:53.360><c> the</c><00:44:53.579><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:44:54.340 --> 00:44:56.000
so<00:44:54.500><c> we</c><00:44:54.679><c> can</c><00:44:54.800><c> be</c><00:44:55.099><c> absolutely</c><00:44:55.539><c> clear</c>

00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:57.820
that<00:44:56.480><c> the</c><00:44:56.699><c> teaching</c><00:44:57.119><c> in</c><00:44:57.500><c> Scripture,</c>

00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.860
it<00:44:58.119><c> is</c><00:44:58.420><c> not</c><00:44:58.699><c> the</c><00:44:58.960><c> responsibility</c><00:44:59.579><c> of</c><00:45:00.360><c> sisters</c>

00:45:00.860 --> 00:45:05.840
to<00:45:01.519><c> take</c><00:45:01.800><c> a</c><00:45:01.960><c> lead</c><00:45:02.280><c> in</c><00:45:02.780><c> worship</c><00:45:03.219><c> and</c><00:45:03.840><c> in</c><00:45:04.139><c> public</c><00:45:04.659><c> teaching.</c>

00:45:06.260 --> 00:45:07.619
Unless<00:45:06.460><c> anybody</c><00:45:06.860><c> should</c><00:45:07.099><c> say,</c>

00:45:07.940 --> 00:45:09.179
ah,<00:45:08.000><c> but</c><00:45:08.099><c> this</c><00:45:08.199><c> is</c><00:45:08.340><c> a</c><00:45:08.460><c> cultural</c><00:45:08.760><c> thing.</c>

00:45:09.420 --> 00:45:13.099
Things<00:45:09.659><c> have</c><00:45:10.039><c> changed</c><00:45:11.099><c> in</c><00:45:11.579><c> the</c><00:45:11.719><c> last</c><00:45:11.960><c> few</c><00:45:12.199><c> years.</c>

00:45:13.139 --> 00:45:16.900
Then<00:45:13.340><c> the</c><00:45:13.500><c> apostle</c><00:45:13.739><c> Paul</c><00:45:14.559><c> has</c><00:45:15.059><c> recourse</c><00:45:15.519><c> to</c><00:45:15.699><c> the</c><00:45:15.880><c> principal</c><00:45:16.260><c> argument</c>

00:45:16.900 --> 00:45:19.119
that<00:45:17.380><c> goes</c><00:45:17.659><c> right</c><00:45:18.000><c> back</c><00:45:18.179><c> to</c><00:45:18.320><c> the</c><00:45:18.420><c> beginning</c><00:45:18.579><c> of</c><00:45:18.860><c> time.</c>

00:45:19.420 --> 00:45:22.119
The<00:45:19.579><c> reasons</c><00:45:19.880><c> why</c><00:45:20.219><c> sisters</c><00:45:20.500><c> are</c><00:45:20.780><c> not</c><00:45:20.940><c> to</c><00:45:21.099><c> do</c><00:45:21.300><c> this,</c>

00:45:22.420 --> 00:45:25.039
simple<00:45:22.639><c> as</c><00:45:22.800><c> it</c><00:45:22.920><c> may</c><00:45:23.079><c> sound</c><00:45:23.360><c> and</c><00:45:23.619><c> complicated</c><00:45:24.139><c> as</c><00:45:24.320><c> it</c><00:45:24.480><c> may</c><00:45:24.619><c> sound,</c>

00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:31.119
For<00:45:28.639><c> Adam</c><00:45:29.260><c> was</c><00:45:30.300><c> first</c><00:45:30.659><c> formed.</c>

00:45:31.260 --> 00:45:32.860
It<00:45:31.360><c> goes</c><00:45:31.539><c> right</c><00:45:31.900><c> back</c><00:45:32.179><c> to</c><00:45:32.420><c> creation.</c>

00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:35.280
It<00:45:33.199><c> was</c><00:45:33.519><c> Adam</c><00:45:33.940><c> that</c><00:45:34.079><c> was</c><00:45:34.260><c> given</c><00:45:34.440><c> the</c><00:45:34.699><c> responsibility</c>

00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:37.760
for<00:45:35.960><c> obedience</c><00:45:36.559><c> to</c><00:45:37.260><c> the</c><00:45:37.500><c> commandments.</c>

00:45:37.980 --> 00:45:41.219
It<00:45:37.980><c> was</c><00:45:38.260><c> Adam</c><00:45:38.920><c> that</c><00:45:39.980><c> started</c><00:45:40.400><c> the</c><00:45:40.880><c> work</c>

00:45:41.219 --> 00:45:43.280

00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.360
He<00:45:44.079><c> started</c><00:45:44.519><c> the</c><00:45:44.760><c> process</c><00:45:45.280><c> of</c><00:45:45.940><c> the</c><00:45:46.139><c> work.</c>

00:45:46.860 --> 00:45:51.119
It<00:45:46.900><c> was</c><00:45:47.980><c> Adam</c><00:45:49.099><c> who</c><00:45:49.480><c> was</c><00:45:49.719><c> the</c><00:45:49.920><c> type</c><00:45:50.179><c> of</c><00:45:50.440><c> the</c><00:45:50.599><c> true</c><00:45:50.780><c> head</c>

00:45:52.539 --> 00:45:54.000
And<00:45:52.880><c> we</c><00:45:52.960><c> can't</c><00:45:53.239><c> change</c><00:45:53.599><c> that.</c>

00:45:54.500 --> 00:45:57.579
My<00:45:54.639><c> beloved</c><00:45:55.059><c> sisters,</c><00:45:55.659><c> as</c><00:45:55.739><c> much</c><00:45:55.920><c> as</c><00:45:56.079><c> you</c><00:45:56.159><c> may</c><00:45:56.420><c> think</c><00:45:56.840><c> we</c><00:45:57.300><c> should</c>

00:46:01.980 --> 00:46:04.079

00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:20.179
Oh<00:46:16.980><c> yes,</c><00:46:17.199><c> it</c><00:46:17.199><c> was</c><00:46:17.960><c> through</c><00:46:18.400><c> Adam</c><00:46:18.920><c> that</c><00:46:19.320><c> the</c><00:46:19.500><c> sin</c><00:46:19.699><c> came.</c>

00:46:20.179 --> 00:46:24.239
By<00:46:20.719><c> Adam,</c><00:46:21.599><c> by</c><00:46:21.719><c> one</c><00:46:21.960><c> man,</c><00:46:22.639><c> sin</c><00:46:22.900><c> entered</c><00:46:23.500><c> into</c><00:46:23.800><c> the</c><00:46:23.980><c> world,</c>

00:46:24.539 --> 00:46:27.099
but<00:46:24.639><c> it</c><00:46:24.659><c> was</c><00:46:24.920><c> the</c><00:46:25.099><c> beguiling</c><00:46:25.920><c> of</c><00:46:26.619><c> Eve</c>

00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:32.000
It's<00:46:31.039><c> not</c><00:46:31.239><c> a</c><00:46:31.380><c> portioning</c><00:46:31.760><c> blade.</c>

00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:33.500
It's<00:46:32.380><c> just</c><00:46:32.599><c> a</c><00:46:32.699><c> simple</c><00:46:33.059><c> fact.</c>

00:46:33.820 --> 00:46:36.980
That<00:46:34.360><c> is</c><00:46:35.119><c> how</c><00:46:35.760><c> it</c><00:46:36.139><c> is.</c>

00:46:37.340 --> 00:46:39.300
