00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.280

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:48.579
And<00:00:44.759><c> that's</c><00:00:45.179><c> my</c><00:00:45.359><c> experience</c><00:00:45.799><c> growing</c><00:00:46.039><c> up</c><00:00:46.219><c> in</c><00:00:46.320><c> the</c><00:00:46.500><c> truth.</c><00:00:46.659><c> I</c><00:00:46.799><c> can</c><00:00:47.000><c> remember</c><00:00:47.200><c> that</c><00:00:47.380><c> very</c><00:00:47.679><c> well</c><00:00:47.840><c> as</c><00:00:48.039><c> a</c><00:00:48.179><c> teenager.</c>

00:00:48.579 --> 00:00:53.000

00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:59.060
It's<00:00:55.840><c> quite</c><00:00:56.079><c> unusual</c><00:00:56.500><c> to</c><00:00:56.719><c> be</c><00:00:56.799><c> on</c><00:00:57.000><c> the</c><00:00:57.119><c> other</c><00:00:57.340><c> side</c><00:00:57.500><c> of</c><00:00:57.659><c> the</c><00:00:57.759><c> coin</c><00:00:57.960><c> this</c><00:00:58.259><c> time</c><00:00:58.539><c> and</c>

00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:01.600
be<00:00:59.280><c> up</c><00:00:59.539><c> here</c><00:00:59.740><c> instead</c><00:01:00.039><c> of</c><00:01:00.200><c> sitting</c><00:01:00.359><c> down</c><00:01:00.700><c> there.</c>

00:01:01.659 --> 00:01:04.120
But<00:01:01.859><c> we</c><00:01:02.060><c> have</c><00:01:02.299><c> an</c><00:01:02.640><c> interesting</c><00:01:02.979><c> subject</c><00:01:03.320><c> to</c><00:01:03.500><c> look</c><00:01:03.659><c> at</c><00:01:03.840><c> today,</c>

00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:06.920
one<00:01:04.400><c> which</c><00:01:04.599><c> I</c><00:01:04.840><c> feel</c><00:01:05.079><c> is</c><00:01:05.379><c> very</c><00:01:05.659><c> vital</c><00:01:06.000><c> and</c><00:01:06.260><c> I've</c><00:01:06.560><c> appreciated</c>

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:08.099
myself<00:01:07.400><c> very</c><00:01:07.760><c> much.</c>

00:01:08.579 --> 00:01:11.180
I've<00:01:08.859><c> probably</c><00:01:09.120><c> spent</c><00:01:09.400><c> more</c><00:01:09.680><c> time</c><00:01:09.920><c> looking</c><00:01:10.180><c> into</c><00:01:10.439><c> this</c><00:01:10.659><c> subject</c><00:01:11.000><c> than</c>

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:13.359
any<00:01:11.379><c> other</c><00:01:11.599><c> thing</c><00:01:11.780><c> I've</c><00:01:12.239><c> dealt</c><00:01:12.420><c> with</c><00:01:12.640><c> in</c><00:01:12.799><c> the</c><00:01:12.939><c> scriptures.</c>

00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:18.079
And<00:01:14.000><c> that's</c><00:01:14.480><c> the</c><00:01:14.799><c> basic</c><00:01:15.239><c> subject</c><00:01:15.659><c> there</c><00:01:15.980><c> of</c><00:01:16.180><c> God's</c><00:01:16.739><c> plan</c><00:01:16.959><c> of</c><00:01:17.180><c> redemption.</c>

00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.140
The<00:01:19.280><c> notes</c><00:01:19.599><c> that</c><00:01:19.780><c> have</c><00:01:19.939><c> been</c><00:01:20.140><c> provided</c><00:01:20.459><c> for</c><00:01:20.780><c> you,</c><00:01:20.980><c> we</c><00:01:21.000><c> don't</c>

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:24.760

00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:28.280
They're<00:01:25.319><c> basically</c><00:01:25.799><c> there</c><00:01:26.180><c> to</c><00:01:26.719><c> help</c><00:01:27.000><c> you</c><00:01:27.280><c> refer</c><00:01:27.579><c> back</c><00:01:27.920><c> to</c><00:01:28.120><c> if</c>

00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:31.640
There's<00:01:29.900><c> probably</c><00:01:30.180><c> some</c><00:01:30.420><c> passages</c><00:01:30.739><c> we</c><00:01:31.000><c> won't</c><00:01:31.159><c> even</c><00:01:31.359><c> get</c><00:01:31.519><c> to</c>

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.799
I<00:15:12.440><c> think</c><00:15:12.580><c> it's</c><00:15:12.840><c> important</c><00:15:13.139><c> to</c><00:15:13.399><c> realize</c>

But<00:15:42.419><c> God</c><00:15:42.659><c> in</c><00:15:42.700><c> His</c><00:15:42.980><c> kindness</c><00:15:43.320><c> reached</c><00:15:43.720><c> forth</c>

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.659
You<00:16:09.720><c> are</c><00:16:09.940><c> My</c><00:16:10.200><c> Witnesses,</c><00:16:11.080><c> says</c><00:16:11.179><c> the</c><00:16:11.399><c> Lord,</c>

O<00:16:44.139><c> Jacob,</c>

00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:54.039

Now,<00:25:22.440><c> that</c><00:25:22.700><c> all</c><00:25:22.980><c> comes</c><00:25:23.400><c> as</c><00:25:23.660><c> the</c><00:25:23.920><c> result</c>

00:25:26.859 --> 00:25:30.180
And<00:25:27.039><c> I</c><00:25:27.119><c> think</c><00:25:27.299><c> it's</c><00:25:27.519><c> important</c><00:25:27.799><c> to</c><00:25:27.940><c> look</c><00:25:28.099><c> at</c><00:25:28.259><c> the</c>

00:25:30.180 --> 00:25:32.380
and<00:25:30.180><c> consider</c><00:25:30.420><c> what</c><00:25:30.579><c> went</c><00:25:30.799><c> on</c><00:25:30.940><c> in</c><00:25:31.079><c> the</c><00:25:31.240><c> Garden</c><00:25:31.400><c> of</c><00:25:31.599><c> Eden,</c>

00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:38.200
Now,

00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:40.259
this<00:25:38.440><c> is</c><00:25:38.680><c> a</c><00:25:38.740><c> subject</c><00:25:39.039><c> that</c><00:25:39.200><c> I</c><00:25:39.259><c> can</c><00:25:39.460><c> remember</c><00:25:39.759><c> as</c><00:25:39.940><c> a</c><00:25:40.079><c> younger</c>

00:25:56.579 --> 00:25:58.220
And<00:25:56.819><c> a</c><00:25:57.079><c> lot</c><00:25:57.259><c> of</c><00:25:57.359><c> things</c><00:25:57.599><c> crystallized</c>

00:25:58.220 --> 00:26:00.339
that<00:25:58.359><c> night</c><00:25:58.539><c> that</c><00:25:58.700><c> I</c><00:25:58.880><c> had</c><00:25:59.079><c> not</c><00:25:59.220><c> really</c><00:25:59.539><c> thought</c><00:25:59.700><c> through</c><00:25:59.940><c> clearly</c>

and<00:26:00.579><c> since</c><00:26:00.759><c> then</c><00:26:00.940><c> I've</c><00:26:01.019><c> had</c><00:26:01.140><c> a</c><00:26:01.279><c> very</c><00:26:01.539><c> good</c><00:26:01.700><c> look</c><00:26:01.900><c> at.</c>

00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:04.160
But<00:26:03.220><c> what</c><00:26:03.859><c> happened</c>

00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:06.519
back<00:26:04.440><c> in</c><00:26:04.579><c> the</c><00:26:04.700><c> Garden</c><00:26:04.859><c> of</c><00:26:05.059><c> Eden</c><00:26:05.200><c> when</c><00:26:05.440><c> the</c><00:26:05.599><c> temptation</c><00:26:06.039><c> came,</c>

and<00:26:06.920><c> you</c><00:26:07.079><c> were</c><00:26:07.299><c> created</c><00:26:07.599><c> very</c><00:26:08.019><c> good,</c>

00:26:08.700 --> 00:26:10.680
and<00:26:08.859><c> you'll</c><00:26:09.079><c> notice</c><00:26:09.259><c> that</c><00:26:09.480><c> it</c><00:26:09.660><c> took</c><00:26:09.799><c> the</c><00:26:10.119><c> outside</c>

00:26:14.059 --> 00:26:16.279
Now,<00:26:14.380><c> many</c><00:26:14.700><c> people</c><00:26:15.059><c> have</c><00:26:15.279><c> written</c><00:26:15.480><c> different</c><00:26:16.000><c> things</c>

an<00:26:18.460><c> amoral</c><00:26:18.839><c> creature.</c><00:26:19.619><c> It</c><00:26:19.640><c> wasn't</c><00:26:19.880><c> so</c><00:26:20.140><c> much</c>

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:22.339
that<00:26:20.460><c> the</c><00:26:20.599><c> serpent</c><00:26:20.759><c> had</c><00:26:20.980><c> evil</c><00:26:21.299><c> thoughts</c><00:26:21.680><c> within</c><00:26:21.900><c> him</c><00:26:22.059><c> as</c><00:26:22.220><c> though</c>

God.<00:26:25.000><c> He</c><00:26:25.259><c> simply</c><00:26:25.640><c> looked</c><00:26:25.859><c> at</c><00:26:26.039><c> a</c><00:26:26.240><c> situation,</c>

00:26:26.700 --> 00:26:28.960

out<00:26:35.019><c> in</c><00:26:35.119><c> his</c><00:26:35.339><c> mind</c><00:26:35.559><c> that</c><00:26:35.759><c> Eve</c><00:26:35.839><c> would</c><00:26:36.000><c> be</c><00:26:36.180><c> able</c><00:26:36.319><c> to</c><00:26:36.480><c> eat</c>

00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:38.799
of<00:26:37.200><c> the</c><00:26:37.660><c> tree</c><00:26:37.900><c> of</c><00:26:38.460><c> life</c><00:26:38.660><c> and</c>

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:44.920
But<00:26:43.980><c> anyways,</c><00:26:44.240><c> it</c><00:26:44.440><c> took</c><00:26:44.599><c> that</c>

00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.000
That<00:30:40.559><c> was</c><00:30:40.779><c> something</c><00:30:41.059><c> which</c><00:30:41.279><c> they</c><00:30:41.460><c> would</c><00:30:41.619><c> have</c><00:30:41.819><c> had,</c>

00:30:58.980 --> 00:31:00.400
That's<00:30:59.339><c> something</c><00:30:59.579><c> that</c><00:30:59.839><c> developed</c>

00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:02.119

00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:43.720
It's<00:32:42.440><c> a</c><00:32:42.660><c> change</c><00:32:42.900><c> that</c><00:32:43.079><c> took</c><00:32:43.220><c> place.</c>

00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:02.500
And<00:33:01.059><c> really</c><00:33:01.420><c> the</c><00:33:01.640><c> importance</c><00:33:02.019><c> that</c><00:33:02.180><c> it</c><00:33:02.319><c> was</c>

00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:04.380
when<00:33:02.660><c> you</c><00:33:02.779><c> look</c><00:33:02.940><c> at</c><00:33:03.039><c> that</c><00:33:03.220><c> in</c><00:33:03.339><c> this</c><00:33:03.519><c> subject.</c>

upon<00:33:14.599><c> us.</c><00:33:15.180><c> Because</c><00:33:15.440><c> it's</c><00:33:15.680><c> a</c><00:33:15.859><c> physical</c>

00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:20.339
I<00:33:18.819><c> remember</c><00:33:19.019><c> Brother</c><00:33:19.299><c> Harry</c><00:33:19.640><c> Tennant</c><00:33:19.880><c> one</c><00:33:20.140><c> time</c>

00:33:20.339 --> 00:33:22.440
when<00:33:20.440><c> he</c><00:33:20.519><c> was</c><00:33:20.660><c> talking</c><00:33:20.960><c> about</c><00:33:21.240><c> this</c><00:33:21.440><c> subject.</c><00:33:22.019><c> He</c><00:33:22.279><c> said</c>

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.579
that<00:33:22.619><c> in</c><00:33:22.779><c> effect</c><00:33:23.079><c> that</c><00:33:23.380><c> God</c><00:33:23.859><c> throws</c>

00:33:24.579 --> 00:33:26.660
into<00:33:24.980><c> them</c><00:33:25.440><c> what</c><00:33:26.079><c> they</c><00:33:26.339><c> had</c>

00:33:26.660 --> 00:33:29.319

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:30.920
took<00:33:29.579><c> the</c><00:33:29.740><c> way</c><00:33:29.960><c> of</c><00:33:30.160><c> life</c><00:33:30.359><c> that</c><00:33:30.599><c> Adam</c><00:33:30.720><c> and</c><00:33:30.920><c> Eve</c>

00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:32.740

00:33:32.740 --> 00:33:34.779
the<00:33:32.880><c> way</c><00:33:33.000><c> of</c><00:33:33.180><c> the</c><00:33:33.400><c> flesh.</c><00:33:33.920><c> And</c><00:33:34.079><c> he</c><00:33:34.460><c> throws</c>

00:33:34.779 --> 00:33:36.720
that<00:33:35.140><c> mentality</c><00:33:35.680><c> into</c><00:33:35.920><c> them</c><00:33:36.180><c> as</c><00:33:36.440><c> part</c>

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:38.839
of<00:33:36.880><c> their</c><00:33:37.039><c> physical</c><00:33:37.480><c> makeup.</c><00:33:38.319><c> And</c><00:33:38.480><c> it's</c><00:33:38.619><c> what</c>

00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:40.380
Brother<00:33:39.180><c> John</c><00:33:39.539><c> Carter</c><00:33:39.799><c> called</c><00:33:40.099><c> later.</c>

00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:42.640
He<00:33:40.799><c> called</c><00:33:40.980><c> the</c><00:33:41.440><c> proneness</c><00:33:42.059><c> to</c><00:33:42.460><c> sin</c>

00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:44.599
that<00:33:42.819><c> we</c><00:33:42.980><c> all</c><00:33:43.180><c> inherit.</c><00:33:44.039><c> That</c><00:33:44.119><c> when</c><00:33:44.339><c> given</c>

00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.900
the<00:33:44.960><c> choice</c><00:33:45.259><c> as</c><00:33:45.519><c> young</c><00:33:45.779><c> children</c><00:33:46.259><c> to</c><00:33:46.599><c> choose</c>

00:33:46.900 --> 00:33:48.880
right<00:33:47.220><c> or</c><00:33:47.519><c> wrong,</c><00:33:48.240><c> so</c><00:33:48.599><c> often</c>

00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:50.700
the<00:33:49.079><c> young</c><00:33:49.279><c> children,</c><00:33:50.200><c> growing</c><00:33:50.420><c> up</c>

00:33:50.700 --> 00:33:53.339
you'll<00:33:50.940><c> watch</c><00:33:51.200><c> them</c><00:33:51.380><c> and</c><00:33:51.500><c> they'll</c><00:33:51.779><c> choose</c><00:33:52.000><c> to</c><00:33:52.180><c> do</c><00:33:52.259><c> the</c><00:33:52.460><c> wrong.</c>

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:54.740
Just<00:33:53.539><c> because</c><00:33:53.859><c> somebody</c><00:33:54.119><c> has</c><00:33:54.359><c> said,</c><00:33:54.619><c> here's</c>

00:33:54.740 --> 00:33:56.960
the<00:33:54.980><c> right</c><00:33:54.980><c> thing</c><00:33:55.180><c> to</c><00:33:55.319><c> do.</c><00:33:56.000><c> It's</c><00:33:56.160><c> that</c><00:33:56.480><c> principle</c>

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:58.720
that's<00:33:57.319><c> operating</c><00:33:57.700><c> within</c><00:33:58.259><c> us.</c>

00:33:59.099 --> 00:34:01.019
So<00:33:59.279><c> that</c><00:33:59.519><c> no</c><00:33:59.819><c> longer</c><00:34:00.279><c> does</c><00:34:00.599><c> it</c><00:34:00.740><c> take</c>

00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:03.039
the<00:34:01.299><c> influence</c><00:34:01.539><c> of</c><00:34:01.720><c> the</c><00:34:01.940><c> serpent</c><00:34:02.180><c> out</c><00:34:02.519><c> here</c>

00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:05.240
to<00:34:03.279><c> make</c><00:34:03.440><c> the</c><00:34:03.640><c> suggestion</c><00:34:04.039><c> to</c><00:34:04.200><c> go</c><00:34:04.380><c> for</c><00:34:04.539><c> the</c><00:34:04.700><c> evil</c><00:34:04.880><c> way.</c>

00:34:05.500 --> 00:34:06.839
But<00:34:05.680><c> now</c><00:34:06.000><c> it's</c><00:34:06.460><c> inside</c>

00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:08.880
there.<00:34:07.579><c> It's</c><00:34:07.859><c> inside</c><00:34:08.239><c> us.</c><00:34:08.480><c> It's</c><00:34:08.659><c> part</c>

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:11.019
of<00:34:09.039><c> our</c><00:34:09.219><c> nature.</c><00:34:09.719><c> It's</c><00:34:09.920><c> physically</c><00:34:10.400><c> in</c><00:34:10.679><c> us.</c>

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:12.960
And<00:34:11.679><c> by</c><00:34:11.820><c> what</c><00:34:12.039><c> chemicals</c><00:34:12.480><c> God's</c>

00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:14.760
doing<00:34:13.179><c> it.</c><00:34:13.679><c> The</c><00:34:14.039><c> situation</c><00:34:14.599><c> that</c>

00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:16.860
he's<00:34:14.920><c> actually</c><00:34:15.219><c> working</c><00:34:15.519><c> in</c><00:34:15.679><c> our</c><00:34:15.820><c> bodies.</c><00:34:16.659><c> Perhaps</c>

00:34:16.860 --> 00:34:18.880
scientists,<00:34:17.480><c> given</c><00:34:17.699><c> enough</c><00:34:17.980><c> time,</c><00:34:18.340><c> would</c><00:34:18.400><c> figure</c><00:34:18.639><c> out</c>

00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:20.840
one<00:34:19.039><c> day</c><00:34:19.159><c> which</c><00:34:19.500><c> actually</c><00:34:19.840><c> causes</c><00:34:20.219><c> it.</c><00:34:20.840><c> Whether</c>

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:22.360
they're<00:34:21.219><c> hormones</c><00:34:21.860><c> or</c><00:34:22.059><c> whatever.</c>

00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:24.519
But<00:34:22.840><c> God</c><00:34:23.099><c> has</c><00:34:23.300><c> put</c><00:34:23.519><c> something</c><00:34:23.980><c> physically</c>

00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:26.480
in<00:34:24.860><c> us</c><00:34:25.380><c> that's</c><00:34:25.840><c> related</c><00:34:26.159><c> to</c>

00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:28.599
mortality.<00:34:27.739><c> That's</c><00:34:27.980><c> part</c><00:34:28.159><c> of</c><00:34:28.360><c> the</c>

00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.380
disease<00:34:29.039><c> and</c><00:34:29.239><c> the</c><00:34:29.440><c> dying</c><00:34:29.699><c> that</c><00:34:29.860><c> goes</c><00:34:30.039><c> on</c><00:34:30.260><c> in</c>

00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:32.519
his<00:34:30.579><c> body</c><00:34:30.900><c> of</c><00:34:31.199><c> flesh</c><00:34:31.340><c> and</c><00:34:31.539><c> the</c><00:34:31.679><c> weakness</c><00:34:31.920><c> that's</c><00:34:32.239><c> there</c>

00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:34.460
that<00:34:32.980><c> in</c><00:34:33.179><c> effect</c><00:34:33.619><c> puts</c><00:34:34.059><c> us</c>

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:36.559
biased<00:34:34.880><c> to</c><00:34:35.219><c> sin.</c><00:34:35.900><c> So</c><00:34:36.099><c> that</c><00:34:36.300><c> no</c>

00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:38.420
longer<00:34:36.780><c> do</c><00:34:36.960><c> we</c><00:34:37.300><c> need</c><00:34:37.460><c> the</c><00:34:37.679><c> temptation</c><00:34:38.139><c> coming</c>

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:40.440
from<00:34:38.679><c> without,</c><00:34:39.340><c> but</c><00:34:39.519><c> it</c><00:34:39.679><c> comes</c><00:34:40.019><c> from</c>

00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:42.460
within.<00:34:41.179><c> It</c><00:34:41.380><c> comes</c><00:34:41.639><c> from</c><00:34:41.820><c> within</c><00:34:41.920><c> ourselves.</c>

00:34:42.820 --> 00:34:44.360
And<00:34:43.039><c> that's</c><00:34:43.420><c> a</c><00:34:43.639><c> key</c><00:34:43.860><c> concept</c>

00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:46.519
to<00:34:44.619><c> realize</c><00:34:45.059><c> in</c><00:34:45.239><c> terms</c><00:34:45.480><c> of</c><00:34:45.599><c> what</c><00:34:45.699><c> God</c><00:34:45.940><c> is</c><00:34:46.199><c> attempting</c>

to<00:34:46.780><c> do</c><00:34:46.940><c> when</c><00:34:47.059><c> he's</c><00:34:47.280><c> trying</c><00:34:47.539><c> to</c><00:34:47.739><c> put</c><00:34:47.860><c> him</c><00:34:48.059><c> in</c><00:34:48.239><c> us.</c>

00:34:48.980 --> 00:34:51.519
To<00:34:49.320><c> teach</c><00:34:49.519><c> us</c><00:34:49.760><c> to</c><00:34:49.920><c> learn</c><00:34:50.039><c> like</c><00:34:51.260><c> him.</c>

00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.880

a<00:35:39.860><c> case</c><00:35:40.059><c> of</c><00:35:40.280><c> where</c><00:35:40.440><c> God</c><00:35:40.739><c> just</c>

00:35:43.820 --> 00:35:46.000

It's<00:36:39.940><c> not</c><00:36:40.139><c> that</c><00:36:40.320><c> bad.</c><00:36:40.500><c> We'll</c><00:36:40.679><c> put</c><00:36:40.820><c> it</c><00:36:41.039><c> off.</c>

00:36:41.380 --> 00:36:42.780
That's<00:36:41.760><c> not</c><00:36:41.920><c> a</c><00:36:42.039><c> high</c><00:36:42.239><c> priority.</c>

00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:45.360
And<00:36:43.760><c> in</c><00:36:43.940><c> effect,</c><00:36:44.539><c> I</c><00:36:44.719><c> really</c><00:36:45.039><c> believe</c>

00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:47.500
that<00:36:45.539><c> that's</c><00:36:45.699><c> what</c><00:36:45.860><c> God</c><00:36:46.159><c> looked</c><00:36:46.500><c> at</c><00:36:46.639><c> with</c><00:36:46.820><c> Adam</c><00:36:47.000><c> and</c><00:36:47.159><c> Eve.</c>

00:36:47.659 --> 00:36:49.159
He<00:36:47.840><c> knew</c><00:36:48.039><c> that</c><00:36:48.260><c> the</c><00:36:48.460><c> only</c><00:36:48.719><c> way</c><00:36:48.920><c> to</c>

00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:51.059
save<00:36:49.460><c> them</c><00:36:49.820><c> was</c><00:36:50.360><c> to</c><00:36:50.539><c> get</c><00:36:50.639><c> them</c><00:36:50.840><c> to</c>

00:36:51.059 --> 00:36:52.920
realize<00:36:51.460><c> that</c><00:36:51.619><c> this</c><00:36:51.820><c> isn't</c><00:36:52.059><c> a</c><00:36:52.340><c> problem</c><00:36:52.480><c> that</c><00:36:52.699><c> happens</c>

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.059
once<00:36:53.199><c> a</c><00:36:53.380><c> month.</c><00:36:54.239><c> Because</c><00:36:54.500><c> if</c><00:36:54.679><c> it</c><00:36:54.900><c> did,</c>

00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:57.440
they'd<00:36:55.380><c> put</c><00:36:55.539><c> off</c><00:36:55.840><c> and</c><00:36:55.940><c> put</c><00:36:56.199><c> off</c><00:36:56.440><c> and</c><00:36:56.619><c> put</c><00:36:56.920><c> off</c>

00:36:57.440 --> 00:36:59.079
their<00:36:58.059><c> need</c><00:36:58.340><c> to</c><00:36:58.659><c> work</c><00:36:58.840><c> at</c>

00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:00.980
salvation.<00:37:00.179><c> And</c><00:37:00.360><c> they</c><00:37:00.480><c> wouldn't</c><00:37:00.760><c> treat</c>

00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:02.860
it<00:37:01.099><c> as</c><00:37:01.320><c> a</c><00:37:01.559><c> major</c><00:37:01.920><c> problem.</c><00:37:02.539><c> Well,</c>

00:37:02.860 --> 00:37:04.659
so<00:37:03.139><c> what</c><00:37:03.219><c> if</c><00:37:03.340><c> we</c><00:37:03.519><c> only</c><00:37:03.760><c> sin</c><00:37:03.940><c> once</c><00:37:04.239><c> a</c><00:37:04.420><c> month?</c>

00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:06.699
It's<00:37:05.179><c> not</c><00:37:05.380><c> that</c><00:37:05.659><c> bad</c><00:37:05.820><c> a</c><00:37:05.960><c> deal.</c>

00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:08.940
And<00:37:06.960><c> they</c><00:37:07.159><c> learned</c><00:37:07.340><c> to</c><00:37:07.900><c> treat</c><00:37:08.219><c> life</c><00:37:08.519><c> that</c><00:37:08.800><c> way</c>

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:11.139
and<00:37:09.079><c> not</c><00:37:09.320><c> recognize</c><00:37:09.900><c> sin</c><00:37:10.260><c> for</c><00:37:10.500><c> what</c><00:37:10.619><c> it</c><00:37:10.820><c> is.</c>

00:37:11.139 --> 00:37:13.980
So<00:37:11.820><c> I</c><00:37:11.940><c> really</c><00:37:12.219><c> think</c><00:37:12.340><c> you'll</c><00:37:12.619><c> find</c><00:37:12.800><c> it</c><00:37:12.960><c> in</c><00:37:13.099><c> God's</c><00:37:13.539><c> kindness,</c>

00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:15.340
although<00:37:14.380><c> we</c><00:37:14.599><c> may</c><00:37:14.880><c> hate</c><00:37:15.119><c> the</c>

00:37:15.340 --> 00:37:17.019
natures<00:37:15.699><c> which</c><00:37:15.920><c> we</c><00:37:16.199><c> bear</c><00:37:16.480><c> and</c>

00:37:17.019 --> 00:37:19.440
the<00:37:17.420><c> evil</c><00:37:17.800><c> that</c><00:37:18.059><c> come</c><00:37:18.239><c> from</c><00:37:18.639><c> within</c><00:37:18.960><c> us.</c>

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:21.360
It's<00:37:20.059><c> actually</c><00:37:20.360><c> in</c><00:37:20.599><c> God's</c><00:37:21.019><c> kindness</c>

00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:23.619
that<00:37:21.539><c> he's</c><00:37:21.780><c> in</c><00:37:21.880><c> effect</c><00:37:22.099><c> given</c><00:37:22.340><c> us</c><00:37:22.739><c> a</c><00:37:22.980><c> leaky</c><00:37:23.239><c> tire</c>

00:37:23.619 --> 00:37:25.739
which<00:37:24.239><c> is</c><00:37:24.500><c> leaking</c><00:37:24.780><c> so</c><00:37:25.280><c> bad</c>

00:37:25.739 --> 00:37:27.380
that<00:37:26.000><c> we</c><00:37:26.139><c> can</c><00:37:26.360><c> hardly</c><00:37:26.599><c> get</c><00:37:26.880><c> to</c><00:37:27.039><c> the</c><00:37:27.179><c> next</c>

00:37:27.380 --> 00:37:29.159
gas<00:37:27.699><c> station</c><00:37:28.019><c> to</c><00:37:28.260><c> fill</c><00:37:28.360><c> it</c><00:37:28.519><c> up</c><00:37:28.659><c> with</c><00:37:28.820><c> air.</c>

00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:31.519
And<00:37:29.639><c> it's</c><00:37:30.000><c> constantly</c><00:37:30.440><c> leaking</c><00:37:30.940><c> and</c><00:37:31.179><c> leaking</c>

00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:33.320
and<00:37:31.659><c> if</c><00:37:31.820><c> we</c><00:37:31.960><c> don't</c><00:37:32.139><c> work</c><00:37:32.420><c> at</c><00:37:32.559><c> it,</c><00:37:32.800><c> the</c><00:37:32.920><c> leaks</c><00:37:33.059><c> get</c>

00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:35.199
worse<00:37:33.699><c> and</c><00:37:33.940><c> worse.</c><00:37:34.820><c> And</c><00:37:35.039><c> really,</c>

00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.099
I<00:37:35.280><c> think</c><00:37:35.519><c> from</c><00:37:35.739><c> his</c><00:37:36.019><c> perspective</c><00:37:36.539><c> that</c><00:37:36.760><c> it</c><00:37:36.900><c> was</c>

00:37:37.099 --> 00:37:39.460
essential<00:37:37.699><c> that</c><00:37:37.980><c> when</c><00:37:38.380><c> mortality</c><00:37:38.880><c> came,</c>

00:37:39.460 --> 00:37:41.579
then<00:37:39.920><c> the</c><00:37:40.159><c> sentence</c><00:37:40.420><c> was</c><00:37:40.659><c> handed</c><00:37:40.900><c> down</c><00:37:41.280><c> that</c>

00:37:41.579 --> 00:37:43.840
Adam<00:37:41.840><c> and</c><00:37:41.980><c> Eve</c><00:37:42.039><c> would</c><00:37:42.219><c> be</c><00:37:42.420><c> mortal,</c><00:37:43.079><c> and</c><00:37:43.199><c> the</c><00:37:43.460><c> diseases</c>

00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:45.639
that<00:37:44.119><c> came</c><00:37:44.320><c> along</c><00:37:44.599><c> with</c><00:37:44.800><c> it,</c><00:37:44.920><c> and</c><00:37:45.059><c> we</c><00:37:45.179><c> know</c><00:37:45.380><c> what</c>

00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:47.360
disease<00:37:46.039><c> does</c><00:37:46.380><c> to</c><00:37:46.639><c> us</c><00:37:46.800><c> as</c><00:37:47.019><c> people,</c>

00:37:47.739 --> 00:37:49.639
the<00:37:47.960><c> changes</c><00:37:48.340><c> for</c><00:37:48.719><c> good</c><00:37:49.019><c> that</c><00:37:49.260><c> can</c><00:37:49.440><c> come</c>

00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:51.579
from<00:37:49.900><c> disease.</c><00:37:51.079><c> That</c><00:37:51.260><c> the</c>

00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:55.480
temptation<00:37:54.000><c> from</c><00:37:54.320><c> within,</c><00:37:55.280><c> was</c>

00:37:57.659 --> 00:37:59.760
of<00:37:57.860><c> what</c><00:37:58.019><c> was</c><00:37:58.320><c> necessary</c><00:37:58.960><c> to</c><00:37:59.320><c> save</c>

That's<00:48:05.940><c> what</c><00:48:06.039><c> we</c><00:48:06.219><c> do.</c><00:48:06.539><c> I</c><00:48:06.719><c> know</c><00:48:06.820><c> what</c><00:48:07.000><c> I</c><00:48:07.139><c> do.</c>

00:48:07.739 --> 00:48:10.019
I'm<00:48:08.139><c> worried</c><00:48:08.300><c> about</c><00:48:08.559><c> my</c><00:48:08.900><c> personal</c><00:48:09.340><c> transgressions.</c>

00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:11.539
I<00:48:10.360><c> need</c><00:48:10.519><c> forgiveness</c><00:48:10.960><c> of</c><00:48:11.260><c> sins.</c>

00:48:11.780 --> 00:48:14.000
I<00:48:12.079><c> need</c><00:48:12.239><c> to</c><00:48:12.440><c> find</c><00:48:12.579><c> a</c><00:48:12.760><c> way</c><00:48:12.880><c> in</c><00:48:12.980><c> which</c><00:48:13.079><c> I</c><00:48:13.239><c> can</c><00:48:13.400><c> be</c><00:48:13.699><c> forgiven</c>

00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:15.719
of<00:48:14.199><c> the</c><00:48:14.400><c> sins</c><00:48:14.519><c> I've</c><00:48:14.860><c> committed.</c>

00:48:16.420 --> 00:48:18.059
But<00:48:16.579><c> what</c><00:48:16.760><c> God</c><00:48:17.139><c> understands</c>

00:48:18.059 --> 00:48:19.519
and<00:48:18.360><c> what</c><00:48:18.579><c> the</c><00:48:18.820><c> angels</c><00:48:19.039><c> knew</c>

00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:21.900
from<00:48:20.000><c> the</c><00:48:20.239><c> start</c><00:48:20.579><c> is</c><00:48:21.019><c> that</c><00:48:21.300><c> this</c><00:48:21.639><c> issue</c>

00:48:21.900 --> 00:48:23.239
can<00:48:22.159><c> only</c><00:48:22.440><c> be</c><00:48:22.760><c> handled</c>

00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:25.960
when<00:48:24.000><c> we're</c><00:48:24.179><c> ready</c><00:48:24.380><c> to</c><00:48:24.639><c> tackle</c><00:48:24.840><c> this</c><00:48:25.139><c> one.</c>

00:48:26.019 --> 00:48:27.860
And<00:48:26.280><c> that's</c><00:48:26.519><c> the</c><00:48:26.639><c> one</c><00:48:26.699><c> that</c><00:48:26.900><c> hurts.</c>

00:48:28.099 --> 00:48:28.940
It's<00:48:28.199><c> the</c><00:48:28.280><c> one</c><00:48:28.380><c> that</c><00:48:28.559><c> hurts.</c>

00:48:29.099 --> 00:48:31.239
Because<00:48:29.400><c> it</c><00:48:29.539><c> means</c><00:48:30.059><c> we</c><00:48:30.800><c> can't</c><00:48:31.039><c> just</c>

00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:32.940
keep<00:48:31.420><c> living</c><00:48:31.619><c> the</c><00:48:31.840><c> way</c><00:48:31.980><c> we</c><00:48:32.159><c> do.</c>

00:48:33.219 --> 00:48:35.159
God<00:48:33.420><c> can't</c><00:48:33.739><c> handle</c><00:48:34.000><c> the</c><00:48:34.219><c> first</c><00:48:34.440><c> one</c><00:48:34.800><c> until</c>

00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:37.400
we<00:48:35.480><c> cooperate</c><00:48:35.840><c> with</c><00:48:36.019><c> him</c><00:48:36.079><c> to</c><00:48:36.280><c> handle</c><00:48:36.440><c> the</c><00:48:36.679><c> second.</c>

00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:38.920
That's<00:48:38.059><c> the</c><00:48:38.219><c> marvel</c><00:48:38.460><c> of</c><00:48:38.679><c> it.</c>

00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:41.260
And<00:48:39.539><c> the</c><00:48:39.800><c> reason</c><00:48:40.059><c> it's</c><00:48:40.360><c> so</c><00:48:40.780><c> clear</c>

00:48:41.260 --> 00:48:42.820
in<00:48:41.659><c> the</c><00:48:41.800><c> Lord</c><00:48:41.960><c> Jesus</c><00:48:42.300><c> Christ</c>

00:48:42.820 --> 00:48:44.860
is<00:48:43.340><c> because</c><00:48:43.719><c> in</c><00:48:43.960><c> Jesus</c><00:48:44.260><c> Christ,</c>

00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:47.019
that<00:48:45.579><c> one</c><00:48:45.800><c> wasn't</c><00:48:46.159><c> there.</c>

00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:49.519
There<00:48:47.739><c> were</c><00:48:48.019><c> no</c><00:48:48.320><c> personal</c><00:48:48.920><c> transgressions.</c>

00:48:49.659 --> 00:48:50.340
There<00:48:49.719><c> were</c><00:48:50.000><c> none!</c>

00:48:50.340 --> 00:48:52.320
Finally,<00:48:51.599><c> in</c><00:48:51.659><c> one</c><00:48:51.800><c> of</c><00:48:51.940><c> the</c><00:48:52.079><c> races,</c>

00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:53.760
there<00:48:52.539><c> were</c><00:48:52.840><c> none.</c>

00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:56.320
And<00:48:54.559><c> yet</c><00:48:54.780><c> this</c><00:48:55.079><c> issue</c><00:48:55.440><c> was</c><00:48:55.679><c> being</c><00:48:56.000><c> fought</c>

00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:57.579
on<00:48:56.579><c> a</c><00:48:56.760><c> daily</c><00:48:57.000><c> basis.</c>

00:48:58.019 --> 00:49:00.340
God<00:48:58.239><c> was</c><00:48:58.500><c> doing</c><00:48:58.780><c> battle</c><00:48:59.119><c> in</c><00:48:59.320><c> that</c><00:48:59.559><c> man.</c>

00:49:00.380 --> 00:49:02.519
The<00:49:00.559><c> law</c><00:49:00.940><c> of</c><00:49:01.239><c> the</c><00:49:01.500><c> spirit</c><00:49:01.840><c> of</c><00:49:02.159><c> life</c>

00:49:02.519 --> 00:49:04.539
in<00:49:02.639><c> Christ</c><00:49:02.920><c> Jesus</c><00:49:03.320><c> was</c>

00:49:04.539 --> 00:49:06.619
warring<00:49:04.940><c> with</c><00:49:05.239><c> that</c><00:49:05.539><c> law</c><00:49:05.820><c> of</c><00:49:06.119><c> sin</c><00:49:06.280><c> and</c><00:49:06.440><c> death</c>

00:49:06.619 --> 00:49:09.260
in<00:49:06.739><c> him.</c><00:49:07.539><c> And</c><00:49:07.719><c> the</c><00:49:07.920><c> war</c><00:49:08.059><c> was</c><00:49:08.320><c> going</c><00:49:08.619><c> on</c>

00:49:09.260 --> 00:49:10.579
minute<00:49:09.639><c> after</c><00:49:10.159><c> minute</c>

00:49:10.579 --> 00:49:11.960
after<00:49:10.940><c> minute.</c>

00:49:12.139 --> 00:49:14.460
And<00:49:12.300><c> it's</c><00:49:12.679><c> so</c><00:49:13.079><c> clear</c><00:49:13.380><c> in</c><00:49:13.559><c> the</c><00:49:13.659><c> Lord</c><00:49:13.820><c> Jesus</c><00:49:14.179><c> Christ</c>

00:49:14.460 --> 00:49:16.980
because<00:49:14.699><c> he</c><00:49:14.860><c> didn't</c><00:49:15.199><c> have</c><00:49:15.519><c> those</c><00:49:15.760><c> personal</c><00:49:16.139><c> sins.</c>

00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:18.619
But<00:49:17.559><c> what</c><00:49:17.719><c> we</c><00:49:17.960><c> learn</c><00:49:18.119><c> from</c><00:49:18.380><c> him</c>

00:49:18.619 --> 00:49:20.539
and<00:49:18.679><c> what</c><00:49:18.760><c> we're</c><00:49:18.900><c> going</c><00:49:19.039><c> to</c><00:49:19.059><c> look</c><00:49:19.300><c> at</c><00:49:19.440><c> in</c><00:49:19.579><c> the</c><00:49:19.760><c> second</c><00:49:19.980><c> class</c>

00:49:20.539 --> 00:49:23.780
is<00:49:21.099><c> that</c><00:49:21.340><c> that</c><00:49:21.579><c> plan</c><00:49:21.760><c> of</c><00:49:22.000><c> redemption</c><00:49:22.320><c> that</c><00:49:22.539><c> God</c><00:49:22.739><c> has,</c>

00:49:23.940 --> 00:49:25.219
he<00:49:24.019><c> can</c><00:49:24.260><c> only</c><00:49:24.679><c> conquer</c>

00:49:25.219 --> 00:49:25.940
number<00:49:25.679><c> one.</c>

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.980
He<00:49:26.099><c> can</c><00:49:26.260><c> only</c><00:49:26.559><c> get</c><00:49:26.840><c> at</c><00:49:27.079><c> the</c><00:49:27.380><c> forgiveness</c><00:49:27.679><c> of</c><00:49:27.900><c> our</c><00:49:28.159><c> personal</c><00:49:28.440><c> sins</c>

00:49:28.980 --> 00:49:30.960
when<00:49:29.559><c> we</c><00:49:29.820><c> get</c><00:49:29.980><c> on</c><00:49:30.340><c> board</c><00:49:30.539><c> with</c><00:49:30.760><c> him</c>

00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:33.739
on<00:49:33.000><c> number</c><00:49:33.260><c> two.</c>

00:49:34.219 --> 00:49:35.699
That's<00:49:34.579><c> the</c><00:49:34.780><c> problem.</c>

00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:38.440
It's<00:49:36.519><c> a</c><00:49:36.719><c> problem</c><00:49:37.059><c> which</c><00:49:37.280><c> we</c><00:49:37.519><c> have</c><00:49:37.699><c> to</c><00:49:37.960><c> recognize</c>

00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:40.019
and<00:49:38.679><c> which</c><00:49:38.860><c> we</c><00:49:39.099><c> have</c><00:49:39.280><c> to</c><00:49:39.440><c> deal</c><00:49:39.619><c> with</c>

00:49:40.019 --> 00:49:41.780
so<00:49:40.380><c> that</c><00:49:40.619><c> we</c><00:49:40.880><c> can</c><00:49:41.139><c> be</c><00:49:41.420><c> forgiven</c>
