There's<00:09:24.919><c> more</c><00:09:25.360><c> to</c><00:09:25.559><c> it</c><00:09:25.700><c> than</c><00:09:25.860><c> just</c><00:09:26.200><c> that.</c>

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.659
x
And<00:09:27.480><c> we're</c><00:09:27.620><c> going</c><00:09:27.700><c> to</c><00:09:27.820><c> learn</c><00:09:27.960><c> that</c><00:09:28.539><c> from</c><00:09:28.899><c> our</c><00:09:29.139><c> friend</c><00:09:29.320><c> James.</c>

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.960
x
So<00:09:29.820><c> I</c><00:09:29.879><c> want</c><00:09:30.039><c> to</c><00:09:30.279><c> consider</c><00:09:30.879><c> who</c><00:09:31.500><c> this</c><00:09:31.899><c> James</c><00:09:32.360><c> is.</c>

00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:35.860
x
And<00:09:33.779><c> we</c><00:09:34.340><c> have</c><00:09:34.500><c> to</c><00:09:34.620><c> make</c><00:09:34.919><c> certain</c><00:09:35.299><c> assumptions.</c>

00:09:35.860 --> 00:09:39.659
x
These<00:09:36.259><c> assumptions</c><00:09:36.659><c> are</c><00:09:36.980><c> not</c><00:09:38.240><c> mindless</c><00:09:38.960><c> assumptions,</c><00:09:39.500><c> if</c>

00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:40.460
x
you<00:09:39.840><c> will.</c>

00:09:40.920 --> 00:09:43.379
x
They're<00:09:41.440><c> fairly</c><00:09:41.440><c> accepted.</c>

00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:47.200
x
At<00:09:45.039><c> least</c><00:09:45.480><c> the</c><00:09:46.559><c> first</c><00:09:46.759><c> one</c><00:09:46.919><c> is.</c>

00:09:47.539 --> 00:09:49.820
x
And<00:09:47.679><c> that</c><00:09:47.840><c> is</c><00:09:48.039><c> that</c><00:09:48.240><c> this</c><00:09:48.480><c> James</c><00:09:48.740><c> that</c><00:09:49.000><c> writes</c><00:09:49.179><c> this</c><00:09:49.480><c> letter</c>

00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:53.720

was<00:09:50.639><c> the</c><00:09:50.879><c> James</c><00:09:51.179><c> who</c><00:09:51.419><c> was</c><00:09:51.679><c> the</c><00:09:52.039><c> half</c><00:09:52.279><c>-brother</c><00:09:52.559><c> of</c><00:09:52.799><c> Jesus.</c>

00:09:54.900 --> 00:09:57.840
x
Now<00:09:55.420><c> that's</c><00:09:55.940><c> not</c><00:09:56.440><c> just</c><00:09:56.659><c> a</c><00:09:57.039><c> Chris</c><00:09:57.179><c> Adelphian</c><00:09:57.440><c> perspective.</c>

00:09:57.940 --> 00:10:00.200

All<00:09:58.059><c> that</c><00:09:58.179><c> would</c><00:09:58.399><c> certainly</c><00:09:58.700><c> be</c><00:09:59.360><c> enough</c><00:09:59.759><c> for</c><00:09:59.980><c> me.</c>

00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:01.419

It's<00:10:00.720><c> generally</c><00:10:01.120><c> accepted.</c>

this<00:10:08.700><c> letter</c>

00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:13.379

00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:15.500
x
And<00:10:14.240><c> not</c><00:10:14.419><c> the</c><00:10:14.639><c> James.</c>

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:17.340

There<00:10:15.700><c> are</c><00:10:15.840><c> several</c><00:10:16.159><c> James's</c><00:10:16.639><c> in</c><00:10:16.799><c> the</c><00:10:16.899><c> New</c><00:10:17.039><c> Testament.</c>

00:10:17.620 --> 00:10:21.379

But<00:10:17.639><c> there's</c><00:10:18.220><c> James,</c><00:10:18.879><c> the</c><00:10:19.000><c> brother</c><00:10:19.200><c> of</c><00:10:19.360><c> John,</c><00:10:20.320><c> who</c><00:10:20.519><c> dies</c><00:10:20.759><c> early</c><00:10:21.120><c> on,</c>

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:21.919

as<00:10:21.519><c> we</c><00:10:21.700><c> know.</c>

00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:23.200

There's<00:10:22.580><c> other</c><00:10:22.779><c> James's.</c>

00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.700
x
But<00:10:23.320><c> it's</c><00:10:23.500><c> pretty</c><00:10:23.940><c> conclusive</c><00:10:24.440><c> that</c><00:10:24.679><c> this</c><00:10:24.919><c> is</c><00:10:25.120><c> the</c><00:10:25.360><c> James</c>

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:27.039

that's<00:10:26.340><c> writing</c><00:10:26.500><c> this</c><00:10:26.820><c> letter.</c>

00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.399

And<00:10:27.299><c> so</c><00:10:27.440><c> we</c><00:10:27.580><c> are</c><00:10:27.759><c> going</c><00:10:27.919><c> to</c><00:10:28.440><c> assume</c><00:10:28.659><c> that</c><00:10:28.879><c> that's</c><00:10:29.100><c> the</c><00:10:29.240><c> James</c>

that's<00:10:29.860><c> talking</c><00:10:30.159><c> here.</c>

00:10:30.539 --> 00:10:34.039

And<00:10:30.700><c> it</c><00:10:30.720><c> would</c><00:10:30.919><c> very</c><00:10:31.159><c> much</c><00:10:31.320><c> fit</c><00:10:31.820><c> with</c><00:10:32.419><c> the</c><00:10:32.600><c> letter</c><00:10:32.759><c> as</c><00:10:33.000><c> well.</c>

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.039

The<00:10:34.919><c> second</c><00:10:35.259><c> assumption,</c><00:10:35.820><c> and</c><00:10:35.960><c> this</c><00:10:36.100><c> is</c><00:10:36.220><c> kind</c><00:10:36.340><c> of</c><00:10:36.440><c> a</c><00:10:36.539><c> minor</c><00:10:36.720><c> assumption,</c>

00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.860

but<00:10:37.240><c> it'll</c><00:10:37.539><c> play</c><00:10:37.700><c> a</c><00:10:37.799><c> little</c><00:10:37.919><c> part,</c>

00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:43.159
