00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.360
 Well, good morning, Christ Family Church.

00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:06.339
 If you're visiting, I would like to say a couple things specifically to you.

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:06.740
! Are we on?

00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:07.799
 We good?

00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:08.919
 Can you hear me?

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:09.939
 Hear me?

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.640
 A couple things to our visitors this morning specifically.

00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:18.140
 First is that I'm not the pastor of CFC.

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:20.359
 The pastor is actually on sabbatical right now.

00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:22.960
 We're giving him a short break from teaching.

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:25.679
 He'll be back with us next week in person,

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:27.740
 but I'll also be teaching next week.

00:00:27.739 --> 00:00:30.159
 So if you're thinking, after all this is over,

00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.659
 man, that preacher, he was just a nutcase,

00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:34.979
 then, first of all, I wouldn't disagree.

00:00:37.219 --> 00:00:39.899
 But what you're going to see over the next three weeks, actually,

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.079
 is not what you'll normally see if you start to attend here.

00:00:43.519 --> 00:00:46.599
 Second, we're really glad that you're here as a guest with us.

00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:50.219
 There's a lot of reasons to choose a church,

00:00:50.299 --> 00:00:54.939
 and there's a lot of reasons why I've chosen this church to bring my family to

00:00:54.939 --> 00:00:59.199
 and to attend here on a regular basis, to be in fellowship with this faith family.

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:01.619
 And those reasons are numerous.

00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.200
 This is truly a genuine body of believers,

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.179
 and I say that as an affirmation to those regular attenders as well.

00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:13.939
 It's a pleasure this morning to be able to share his word with you.

00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:17.959
 And if you have a Bible, and I hope that you do,

00:01:18.259 --> 00:01:20.140
 turn with me to Colossians chapter 2.

00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:22.379
 Colossians chapter 2.

00:01:25.259 --> 00:01:29.219
 We're going to be specifically looking at verses 8 through 15.

00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.620
 We're supposed to be looking at verses 9 through 15,

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:36.920
 but verse 9 simply is not complete without verse 8.

00:01:37.459 --> 00:01:39.900
 And so we're going to have to take a look at verse 8 as well.

00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:47.120
 And before we jump into that verse, I would really like to open up with more prayer.

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.280
 I know we've already prayed before the sermon,

00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:52.080
 but there's something that's weighing heavily on my heart this morning,

00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:54.940
 and that is a congregation in Charleston, South Carolina,

00:01:55.080 --> 00:02:00.760
 who is potentially for the first time in a long time meeting just like we are this morning,

00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:01.760
 but without their shepherd.

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.820
 Many of you know that there's a congregation this week during their Bible study

00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:13.459
 that a young man opened fire, gunshot fire, and killed nine individuals,

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.280
 nine congregants, including their pastor.

00:02:16.099 --> 00:02:20.039
 And so let's just go to the Lord in prayer for that congregation

00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.219
 as they're meeting potentially even right now

00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:25.060
 while we meet and gather together this morning as well.

00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:27.299
 Heavenly Father, we are so grateful

00:02:27.299 --> 00:02:30.400
 that we can come to you freely in our country.

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.259
 Father, we've seen so little persecution

00:02:33.259 --> 00:02:35.719
 in relation to the rest of the world,

00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.699
 but Father, we know that there are tragedies that happen.

00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:43.020
 And Father, they open our eyes to the nature of sin.

00:02:44.579 --> 00:02:47.479
 And Father, this is an excellent example,

00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.719
 what happened this week is an excellent example

00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.719
 of human depravity

00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:56.460
 and the ugliness that is involved

00:02:56.460 --> 00:02:58.460
 and the depravity that exists

00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:00.280
 in our sinful nature.

00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.740
 Father, we lift up this congregation

00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:07.780
 even as they hopefully are even gathered together right now

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:09.039
 that you would encourage them.

00:03:10.740 --> 00:03:12.340
 Father, that you'd lift their spirits

00:03:12.340 --> 00:03:14.240
 and help them to mourn peacefully

00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:15.780
 and help them to mourn well.

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.400
 We thank you for the courage of the city of Charleston,

00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.539
 for the way that they've handled it,

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.139
 the whole situation.

00:03:23.139 --> 00:03:26.559
 And Father, we just pray for them right now

00:03:26.559 --> 00:03:28.000
 as they are missing loved ones,

00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:30.019
 as they are missing friends and family,

00:03:30.539 --> 00:03:32.179
 and as they are missing their pastor this morning.

00:03:32.259 --> 00:03:34.359
 We pray, Father, for that congregation.

00:03:34.579 --> 00:03:37.679
 We pray also for us as we gather here together

00:03:37.679 --> 00:03:40.379
 for the safety of this congregation as well.

00:03:41.119 --> 00:03:43.439
 But also, Father, that you would indeed speak

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:44.639
 in and through me,

00:03:44.679 --> 00:03:48.339
 that you would just illuminate your word for us this morning

00:03:48.339 --> 00:03:49.219
 as we gather together.

00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:50.779
 We pray this in Jesus' name.

00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:51.500
 Amen.

00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.520
 All right, I kind of want to give you a road map

00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:00.360
 of kind of where we're heading

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.680
 over the next two weeks together.

00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.520
 What we're dealing with is worldly philosophy,

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.500
 the sufficiency of Christ,

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.479
 and then kind of in the background,

00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:12.000
 we're dealing with this whole concept

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.099
 of expository apologetics.

00:04:15.460 --> 00:04:18.879
 So, philosophy is a word

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.680
 that appears in verse 8.

00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.600
 See to it that no one takes you captive

00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.100
 by philosophy.

00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.500
 Philosophy comes from two Greek words,

00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:29.379
 phileo and sophia.

00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:31.740
 Phileo meaning to love,

00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:33.459
 sophia meaning wisdom.

00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.079
 So, philosophy, we can look at it

00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.620
 as a word that means love of wisdom.

00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:41.639
 All throughout history,

00:04:41.780 --> 00:04:45.220
 man has pursued this fascination with wisdom,

00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.360
 be it for good or for bad.

00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:49.819
 And philosophy itself really boils down

00:04:49.819 --> 00:04:52.079
 to the effort of man to determine

00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.480
 the ultimate causes on the earth and the universe.

00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.079
 The second aspect to both this morning and next week

00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.540
 is the sufficiency of Christ

00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:04.220
 over worldly philosophy.

00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:06.180
 That Christ is sufficient.

00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:08.500
 Christ is greater than,

00:05:08.760 --> 00:05:11.620
 ultimately, he's greater than worldly wisdom

00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:12.800
 or worldly philosophy.

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:16.080
 And then the third simply flows naturally

00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:17.040
 from the first two.

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.420
 And that is in light of the supremacy

00:05:20.420 --> 00:05:22.800
 and the sufficiency of Christ.

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.000
 Over worldly philosophy,

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:28.220
 Paul exhorts us to practice

00:05:28.760 --> 00:05:30.500
 expository apologetics.

00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:32.560
 Now, to be clear here,

00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:35.220
 there's probably 18 different ways

00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:37.259
 I could have dissected this passage.

00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:38.600
 And it was really, really difficult

00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.639
 to be able to take all the angles

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:41.259
 on this passage.

00:05:41.420 --> 00:05:43.519
 So, in a very real sense,

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:44.160
 there's going to be,

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:46.500
 the best way that I could choose

00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:47.019
 to break it down

00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:48.579
 is to kind of talk about a backstory,

00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:50.240
 something that's going along,

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:51.680
 the kind of theme that runs

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.019
 throughout the book of Colossians,

00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.540
 and also to teach the actual text

00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:56.100
 that we're seeing.

00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:57.360
 And so what we're going to see

00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.560
 is this idea of expository apologetics

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.720
 come up kind of in the background

00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.560
 of what's going on in all of this.

00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:04.699
 I'm going to try to weave

00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:05.860
 in and out of it gracefully,

00:06:06.139 --> 00:06:07.280
 as gracefully as I know how,

00:06:07.660 --> 00:06:09.019
 and we're going to kind of talk about

00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:12.500
 this idea of expository apologetics.

00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:15.500
 So what is expository apologetics?

00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:16.399
 A lot of you are probably thinking,

00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:17.040
 what in the world?

00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:18.600
 What is this word, expository?

00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:19.879
 Expository simply means

00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.100
 to expose a truth from a text,

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.560
 in our case, scripture.

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.980
 So that's what expository means.

00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:28.400
 And apologetics,

00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:29.460
 there's a lot of different ways

00:06:29.460 --> 00:06:30.340
 we could define it,

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.360
 but Cornelius Van Til

00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.700
 kind of gives us a broad definition

00:06:34.700 --> 00:06:35.520
 that I find useful.

00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:38.879
 He argues that apologetics

00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:39.800
 is the vindication

00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.860
 of the Christian philosophy of life

00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:44.000
 against the various forms

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.740
 of the non-Christian philosophy of life.

00:06:47.379 --> 00:06:48.020
 I'm going to say that again

00:06:48.020 --> 00:06:49.460
 for anybody who might be taking notes,

00:06:49.900 --> 00:06:51.180
 and just so we can let it soak

00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:51.759
 into our minds.

00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:54.259
 Apologetics is the vindication

00:06:54.259 --> 00:06:56.539
 of the Christian philosophy of life

00:06:56.539 --> 00:06:58.439
 against the various forms

00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.279
 of the non-Christian philosophies of life.

00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:03.420
 What I really appreciate

00:07:03.420 --> 00:07:04.199
 about this definition

00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.039
 is that he basically boils

00:07:06.039 --> 00:07:07.439
 all worldviews down

00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:08.839
 into two separate categories.

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:10.560
 You have the Christian worldview

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:11.560
 or the biblical worldview,

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.000
 and then there's everything else.

00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:16.079
 It also is the vindication

00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.159
 of the Christian philosophy of life.

00:07:19.779 --> 00:07:20.639
 It's not necessarily

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.120
 the vindication of me.

00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:23.860
 Oftentimes when we talk

00:07:23.860 --> 00:07:24.800
 about apologetics,

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.600
 we want it to be

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:27.699
 the vindication of me.

00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.120
 We want to win the argument,

00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:30.660
 and we want to be the ones

00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:32.420
 who philosophically,

00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:33.540
 or however you want to put it,

00:07:33.819 --> 00:07:36.040
 defeat the enemies of Christianity.

00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.079
 And that's not what this is all about.

00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:39.800
 It's the vindication

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.920
 of the Christian philosophy of life,

00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.519
 not winning an argument,

00:07:43.699 --> 00:07:45.579
 not the vindication of me,

00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.340
 not me wanting to win.

00:07:48.340 --> 00:07:51.360
 So apologetics in the simplest form,

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.319
 the way we can break it down,

00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:53.180
 simple definition,

00:07:53.900 --> 00:07:55.639
 is knowing what we believe,

00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:57.540
 why we believe it,

00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:58.939
 and to be able to communicate

00:07:58.939 --> 00:08:00.680
 that clearly to others.

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:01.759
 Knowing what we believe,

00:08:02.280 --> 00:08:02.939
 why we believe,

00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:04.460
 and last but not least,

00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:06.319
 certainly not least in this case,

00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:08.879
 being able to communicate that

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.259
 clearly and effectively

00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:11.340
 to other people.

00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:13.920
 That's what we mean

00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.259
 when we're talking about apologetics.

00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:19.120
 And Paul was an incredible

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.199
 expository apologist.

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.800
 In the passage that we're looking at

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:23.719
 over the next couple of weeks,

00:08:23.819 --> 00:08:25.839
 there's some of the finest exhortations

00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:30.019
 that he's using expository apologetics

00:08:30.019 --> 00:08:30.860
 as we're going along.

00:08:31.599 --> 00:08:32.399
 And I have to tell you,

00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:33.639
 if you haven't already figured this out,

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:35.519
 I'm excited about the next two weeks

00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:36.600
 teaching this,

00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:37.600
 because this is something

00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.279
 that we need to be doing

00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:40.819
 in our Christian walk

00:08:40.819 --> 00:08:42.000
 that by and large

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.600
 we're not doing as believers

00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:44.759
 in our culture.

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:47.159
 And so I hope

00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:48.600
 to not only dissect

00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:49.980
 and exposit the great truths

00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:50.659
 that are in this text,

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:51.920
 but I hope also

00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:54.100
 that we can have some tools

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:55.139
 and hopefully we can learn

00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:56.600
 a little bit about this,

00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:58.560
 how we can apply

00:08:58.560 --> 00:08:59.940
 expository apologetics

00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:00.560
 to our life

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:01.420
 in a very tangible way.

00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:03.840
 As I've been meditating

00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:04.879
 over this passage

00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.620
 the past several weeks,

00:09:06.659 --> 00:09:07.340
 I've kind of been

00:09:07.340 --> 00:09:09.320
 not thinking about cookies

00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:10.139
 as Alex,

00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.980
 so got us going with that.

00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:14.259
 But I've been meditating

00:09:14.259 --> 00:09:15.259
 and just kind of thinking

00:09:15.259 --> 00:09:16.879
 all angles of this passage.

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.159
 And one of the things

00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:19.019
 that kind of came up to me

00:09:19.019 --> 00:09:20.080
 was some of the times

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:20.940
 I've been recalling

00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:22.920
 that I've been stumped

00:09:22.920 --> 00:09:23.620
 in a way

00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:25.039
 by somebody who wasn't a believer

00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:26.879
 or just being misled

00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.460
 by these empty philosophies.

00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:29.580
 And it's happened to me before.

00:09:30.539 --> 00:09:31.360
 One instance,

00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:32.920
 I was sitting in an ethics class

00:09:32.920 --> 00:09:34.019
 at University of North,

00:09:34.019 --> 00:09:34.519
 well actually it was

00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:35.080
 North Georgia College,

00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:35.980
 State University then.

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:37.659
 But some of you college students

00:09:37.659 --> 00:09:39.200
 may be able to relate to this.

00:09:40.019 --> 00:09:41.139
 But I was sitting in a class

00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:42.379
 under a professor,

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:43.500
 an ethics professor,

00:09:44.199 --> 00:09:45.419
 definitely not a believer.

00:09:46.259 --> 00:09:48.759
 And I won't mention her name

00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.439
 just for the purposes of anonymity.

00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:52.379
 But she presented to the class

00:09:52.379 --> 00:09:53.559
 what she herself has determined

00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:54.699
 to be the greatest argument

00:09:54.699 --> 00:09:56.059
 against Christian ethics.

00:09:56.779 --> 00:09:58.039
 Okay, she's talking about

00:09:58.039 --> 00:09:58.840
 the problems,

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:00.100
 how problematic

00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:02.139
 that Christian ethics can be.

00:10:02.139 --> 00:10:02.620
 And she said,

00:10:03.019 --> 00:10:03.720
 when you hold to

00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.639
 a Christian set of beliefs

00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.580
 or a Christian ethical system,

00:10:08.379 --> 00:10:10.759
 you have to ask yourself,

00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:12.360
 are your actions right

00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.159
 because God says they're right?

00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:16.460
 Or does God command them

00:10:16.460 --> 00:10:18.460
 because they already are right?

00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:21.319
 Either way,

00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:22.159
 you have problems.

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.580
 Either answer

00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:25.519
 that you come up with,

00:10:25.580 --> 00:10:27.600
 there are inherent problems

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:28.580
 with the answer.

00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:30.220
 If morals,

00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:31.799
 that is what is right and wrong.

00:10:32.299 --> 00:10:34.500
 If they are solely based

00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:35.439
 on God telling us

00:10:35.439 --> 00:10:36.500
 what is right or wrong,

00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:37.659
 then God is merely

00:10:37.659 --> 00:10:38.740
 creating morality

00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:40.659
 as he speaks it

00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:42.479
 or as he reveals it to us.

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:43.240
 Which means that

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.479
 what was right and wrong

00:10:45.479 --> 00:10:46.319
 before he said it

00:10:46.319 --> 00:10:47.059
 did not apply

00:10:47.059 --> 00:10:48.240
 until after he said it.

00:10:48.699 --> 00:10:49.259
 And so there's some

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:50.500
 inherent problems with that.

00:10:50.939 --> 00:10:52.219
 There's not a universal

00:10:52.219 --> 00:10:52.979
 moral system

00:10:52.979 --> 00:10:54.679
 because of that.

00:10:55.579 --> 00:10:57.079
 And God can change morality

00:10:57.079 --> 00:10:58.359
 however he sees fit.

00:10:58.419 --> 00:10:59.240
 That's their argument

00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.319
 at the very least.

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.940
 If the opposite is true,

00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:03.100
 then God commands us

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:04.320
 to right actions

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.080
 because they already are right.

00:11:06.420 --> 00:11:07.120
 What does it mean?

00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:08.440
 It means that there's

00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:09.140
 some morality

00:11:09.140 --> 00:11:10.820
 outside of God.

00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:11.540
 That there's some

00:11:11.540 --> 00:11:12.740
 moral system

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:13.700
 or moral code

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:15.560
 that supersedes God

00:11:15.560 --> 00:11:16.740
 and God has to follow

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:18.620
 by that moral code as well

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:19.660
 which makes him

00:11:19.660 --> 00:11:21.360
 not all powerful.

00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:23.379
 He is no longer omnipotent.

00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:25.160
 Which believers

00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:26.780
 have a tough time reconciling.

00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:28.100
 And this is how

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:28.840
 it was presented to us

00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:29.200
 in class.

00:11:29.280 --> 00:11:29.860
 And I have to tell you,

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:31.460
 I was stumped by this

00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:32.600
 in class

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.460
 when I was in college.

00:11:34.220 --> 00:11:35.360
 I wouldn't have an answer

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:36.560
 until several years later

00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:37.820
 when I began to realize

00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:38.759
 at the base level

00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:39.539
 that there was

00:11:39.539 --> 00:11:40.759
 fundamental flaws

00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.399
 in this empty

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.500
 and deceptive philosophy

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:44.080
 that they were trying

00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:44.519
 to teach

00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:45.899
 in a class.

00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:47.220
 By the way,

00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:48.159
 it's the very thing

00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:48.860
 that verse 8

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:49.600
 warns us about.

00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:50.580
 You see,

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:51.139
 her argument

00:11:51.139 --> 00:11:52.340
 was not an original idea.

00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:52.879
 It's an argument

00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:53.600
 that's been presented

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.320
 years,

00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:54.980
 like hundreds

00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:55.440
 and thousands

00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:56.060
 of years ago.

00:11:56.059 --> 00:11:58.199
 and it's been

00:11:58.199 --> 00:11:58.739
 passed down

00:11:58.739 --> 00:11:59.479
 over the centuries.

00:12:00.719 --> 00:12:01.519
 And what she presented

00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.000
 is called

00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:04.159
 a false dichotomy.

00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:06.179
 A false dichotomy.

00:12:06.239 --> 00:12:07.439
 It's a clever fallacy

00:12:07.439 --> 00:12:08.799
 that leads someone

00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:09.259
 to believe

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:09.739
 and there's only

00:12:09.739 --> 00:12:10.599
 two options.

00:12:11.599 --> 00:12:11.959
 There's only

00:12:11.959 --> 00:12:12.779
 two options there.

00:12:13.199 --> 00:12:14.079
 And so as I began

00:12:14.079 --> 00:12:15.419
 to understand the Word

00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:15.979
 and as I began

00:12:15.979 --> 00:12:17.759
 to grow in the Word

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.059
 and grow in my understanding

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:19.899
 of the character

00:12:19.899 --> 00:12:20.899
 of God,

00:12:21.719 --> 00:12:22.659
 I began to realize

00:12:22.659 --> 00:12:23.659
 that neither option

00:12:23.659 --> 00:12:24.319
 was the case.

00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:25.180
 and the key point

00:12:25.180 --> 00:12:25.920
 that I was missing

00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:26.640
 the whole time

00:12:26.640 --> 00:12:27.820
 that I was mulling

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:28.460
 over this,

00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:29.620
 and some of you,

00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:29.940
 I'm sure,

00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:30.920
 if you're following along

00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:31.620
 or dying to know

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:32.020
 the answer,

00:12:32.140 --> 00:12:32.760
 some of you may already

00:12:32.760 --> 00:12:33.320
 know the answer,

00:12:34.140 --> 00:12:35.600
 but the key point

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:36.820
 is that morality

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:38.080
 does not exist

00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.020
 outside of God,

00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:41.080
 nor does God

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.300
 simply create morality

00:12:42.300 --> 00:12:43.400
 as He goes along,

00:12:43.900 --> 00:12:45.700
 but that Christian ethics

00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:46.740
 and Christian morals

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:48.420
 are based on the very

00:12:48.420 --> 00:12:50.100
 character of God.

00:12:50.900 --> 00:12:51.760
 And that's the key.

00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:53.680
 It's based on His character,

00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:54.579
 which means that there

00:12:54.579 --> 00:12:55.379
 is indeed

00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:57.019
 a third option there

00:12:57.019 --> 00:12:58.239
 and that everything

00:12:58.239 --> 00:12:59.479
 that God tells us

00:12:59.479 --> 00:13:00.019
 and everything

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:00.739
 that we know

00:13:00.739 --> 00:13:01.359
 to be true

00:13:01.359 --> 00:13:02.439
 in terms of

00:13:02.439 --> 00:13:03.459
 biblical morality

00:13:03.459 --> 00:13:05.079
 is all centered

00:13:05.079 --> 00:13:07.519
 and all developed

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.799
 within His character.

00:13:09.359 --> 00:13:10.439
 It's within His very character.

00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:11.199
 And that takes us

00:13:11.199 --> 00:13:12.959
 outside of the dichotomy,

00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:13.979
 the false dichotomy,

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:15.039
 and moreover,

00:13:15.219 --> 00:13:17.179
 God has given us

00:13:17.179 --> 00:13:18.179
 the ability

00:13:18.179 --> 00:13:18.679
 to understand

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:20.279
 His character

00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:21.339
 in His Word.

00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:22.980
 So we already

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:23.620
 can know

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:24.379
 this character.

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:25.259
 We can already know

00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:27.160
 God through His Word.

00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:30.320
 But this is the way

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.200
 in which the philosophers

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:31.860
 really work.

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:32.360
 This is the way

00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:33.960
 that they present

00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.019
 these ideas.

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:36.040
 Most of them

00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:37.480
 deny the existence

00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:38.080
 of God.

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:40.160
 They try to rationalize

00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:41.040
 away any idea

00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:41.420
 of God

00:13:41.420 --> 00:13:42.899
 becoming God-like

00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:43.899
 in their own minds

00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:45.879
 and creating

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:46.660
 their own codes

00:13:46.660 --> 00:13:47.120
 of morality

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.019
 apart from God.

00:13:48.900 --> 00:13:49.340
 By the way,

00:13:49.400 --> 00:13:49.960
 this is a very

00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.139
 hopeless way to live.

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:52.700
 It's incredibly hopeless.

00:13:53.560 --> 00:13:54.160
 It's no wonder

00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:54.860
 that people like

00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:55.540
 Bertrand Russell,

00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:56.759
 at the end of his life,

00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.100
 at 90 years of age,

00:13:58.540 --> 00:13:59.220
 this philosopher,

00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:00.519
 at least 70 of those

00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:01.540
 years of his life

00:14:01.540 --> 00:14:02.440
 were dedicated

00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:03.379
 to philosophy,

00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:04.740
 worldly philosophy.

00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:06.600
 His last words

00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:08.019
 in his life

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:09.340
 were that philosophy

00:14:09.340 --> 00:14:10.100
 has proved

00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:11.320
 a washout for me.

00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:13.420
 And that's a long

00:14:13.420 --> 00:14:13.960
 washout.

00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:16.879
 At least 70 years

00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:17.540
 of his life

00:14:17.540 --> 00:14:18.320
 dedicated

00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:19.560
 to philosophy.

00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.439
 90 years

00:14:22.439 --> 00:14:23.419
 of his entire life,

00:14:23.599 --> 00:14:24.399
 everything that he

00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:25.139
 had poured out

00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:25.699
 in his life

00:14:25.699 --> 00:14:27.039
 dedicated to philosophy

00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:28.139
 only to come

00:14:28.139 --> 00:14:28.579
 to the end

00:14:28.579 --> 00:14:29.259
 of his life

00:14:29.259 --> 00:14:30.339
 and to realize

00:14:30.339 --> 00:14:31.279
 that philosophy,

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:32.819
 this idea

00:14:32.819 --> 00:14:33.419
 that he had been

00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:34.119
 poured his life

00:14:34.119 --> 00:14:34.359
 into,

00:14:34.599 --> 00:14:35.719
 was a washout.

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:38.679
 Thomas Hobbes,

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:40.379
 a famous English

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:41.539
 atheistic philosopher,

00:14:42.359 --> 00:14:42.959
 drawing near

00:14:42.959 --> 00:14:43.579
 to his death,

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.279
 he said this,

00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:45.039
 he said,

00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:45.719
 I am about

00:14:45.719 --> 00:14:46.319
 to leap

00:14:46.319 --> 00:14:47.159
 into the dark,

00:14:47.439 --> 00:14:48.500
 I shall be glad

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:49.439
 to find a hole

00:14:49.439 --> 00:14:50.179
 to creep out

00:14:50.179 --> 00:14:51.019
 of this world.

00:14:52.439 --> 00:14:53.759
 You hear the hopelessness

00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.500
 in these philosophers

00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:56.139
 when they come

00:14:56.139 --> 00:14:56.480
 to the end

00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:56.919
 of their lives

00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:57.439
 and they realize

00:14:57.439 --> 00:14:58.139
 that their whole

00:14:58.139 --> 00:14:59.059
 life's work

00:14:59.059 --> 00:14:59.980
 was a washout.

00:15:01.099 --> 00:15:01.719
 And so it goes

00:15:01.719 --> 00:15:02.259
 for philosophers.

00:15:02.419 --> 00:15:03.199
 This is what happens

00:15:03.199 --> 00:15:04.079
 when you want

00:15:04.079 --> 00:15:05.299
 to eliminate God

00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:06.319
 from your life.

00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:07.439
 When you want

00:15:07.439 --> 00:15:09.360
 to rationalize him

00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.360
 away from your own mind.

00:15:12.259 --> 00:15:12.719
 Now the city

00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:13.259
 of Colossae

00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:14.180
 had its philosophers

00:15:14.180 --> 00:15:16.340
 as does every culture

00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:17.620
 and that has existed

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:18.580
 since the beginning

00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:19.139
 of time.

00:15:21.540 --> 00:15:22.320
 And the little

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:23.259
 assembly of believers

00:15:23.259 --> 00:15:24.600
 that exist there

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:25.759
 in Colossae

00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:27.500
 were no different.

00:15:27.660 --> 00:15:28.420
 They were in danger

00:15:28.420 --> 00:15:29.899
 of being captured

00:15:29.899 --> 00:15:32.240
 by this empty philosophy.

00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:32.840
 And this is why

00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.080
 Paul is writing to them.

00:15:34.420 --> 00:15:35.600
 They're in danger

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:36.500
 of being infiltrated

00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:37.580
 by these ideas

00:15:37.580 --> 00:15:38.540
 and their deceptions.

00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:39.800
 And by the way,

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:40.420
 this is the case

00:15:40.420 --> 00:15:41.180
 for every society.

00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:41.759
 This is the case

00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:42.340
 for us.

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:42.899
 This is the case

00:15:42.899 --> 00:15:43.840
 for people in the past.

00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:45.540
 It's the case

00:15:45.540 --> 00:15:46.740
 for people in other cultures

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:48.060
 right now currently

00:15:48.060 --> 00:15:49.040
 in the world.

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:50.580
 And this becomes

00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:51.580
 Paul's great concern

00:15:51.580 --> 00:15:53.220
 as this early church

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:53.940
 movement progresses.

00:15:54.300 --> 00:15:55.100
 And this concern

00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:56.019
 becomes really

00:15:56.019 --> 00:15:57.540
 the heart of the letter

00:15:57.540 --> 00:15:58.440
 to the Colossians

00:15:58.440 --> 00:15:59.899
 that we see right here.

00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:00.820
 So as we get to

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:01.480
 chapter 2,

00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:02.160
 verse 8,

00:16:02.280 --> 00:16:03.139
 we're really getting

00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:03.899
 into the heart

00:16:03.899 --> 00:16:04.980
 of this entire letter.

00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:05.740
 This is really

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:07.420
 Paul's verses 8

00:16:07.420 --> 00:16:08.019
 through 23.

00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:09.259
 This kind of can be

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:10.500
 taken as one section.

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:11.480
 And we're really

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.279
 getting to the heart

00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:13.519
 of what Paul's

00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:14.419
 main message is

00:16:14.419 --> 00:16:15.419
 to the Colossians here.

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:17.200
 And if we broke

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:17.759
 them down into

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:18.519
 different types

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.000
 of philosophy

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:19.820
 that Paul is speaking

00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:21.120
 to in these verses,

00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:21.840
 we would essentially

00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.799
 find four different

00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:24.120
 aspects of these

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:24.899
 false doctrines

00:16:24.899 --> 00:16:25.600
 or these heresies

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.360
 that he's combating

00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:27.539
 here in these passages.

00:16:27.659 --> 00:16:28.620
 Verses 8 through 15,

00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:29.340
 this is kind of

00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:29.919
 giving you an outline

00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.519
 of where we're going

00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:30.899
 as well.

00:16:31.220 --> 00:16:32.139
 Verses 8 through 15

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:33.320
 deal with human philosophy

00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:34.059
 or humanism.

00:16:34.059 --> 00:16:36.479
 This is primarily

00:16:36.479 --> 00:16:36.919
 where we're going

00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:37.319
 to be living

00:16:37.319 --> 00:16:37.779
 this morning

00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:40.119
 for our purposes.

00:16:40.359 --> 00:16:41.479
 Verses 16 through 17

00:16:41.479 --> 00:16:42.199
 for next week,

00:16:42.459 --> 00:16:43.039
 they're speaking

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:43.959
 to legalism.

00:16:44.199 --> 00:16:45.539
 Verses 18 and 19

00:16:45.539 --> 00:16:46.319
 talk about a rather

00:16:46.319 --> 00:16:47.739
 mystical worship

00:16:47.739 --> 00:16:48.619
 of angels.

00:16:49.659 --> 00:16:50.619
 And then fourthly,

00:16:51.579 --> 00:16:53.039
 there's an element

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:54.399
 of asceticism,

00:16:54.619 --> 00:16:55.759
 which is a false

00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:56.559
 type of humility

00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.039
 that we would see,

00:16:58.179 --> 00:16:58.579
 for instance,

00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:00.159
 in monasticism

00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:00.899
 where monks

00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:01.939
 and nuns,

00:17:01.959 --> 00:17:02.759
 how they try

00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.019
 to remove themselves

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:05.539
 from all pleasure

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:06.079
 in the world

00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:06.740
 at all.

00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:09.400
 And so we see

00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:10.299
 this false humility

00:17:10.299 --> 00:17:11.619
 being combated against.

00:17:12.299 --> 00:17:13.180
 And so as we read

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:13.960
 this passage together,

00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:14.339
 by the way,

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:14.980
 we're jumping in

00:17:14.980 --> 00:17:15.779
 from that background

00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:17.400
 phase back into

00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:18.160
 the text.

00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:18.859
 Okay, so we're going

00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:19.740
 into what this text

00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:20.640
 directly teaches us.

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:21.579
 So as we read

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:22.400
 this passage together,

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:23.420
 I want you to notice

00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:24.400
 two diametrically

00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:25.319
 opposed ideas

00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:26.099
 that are going here.

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:27.160
 The first is

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.700
 captured by philosophy

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:31.680
 or complete in Christ.

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:33.640
 captured by philosophy

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.160
 or complete in Christ.

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.860
 This is the story

00:17:36.860 --> 00:17:37.799
 of every human being

00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:39.580
 because every human being

00:17:39.580 --> 00:17:40.420
 is either captured

00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:41.500
 by worldly philosophy

00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:44.259
 or he is complete

00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:45.180
 in Christ.

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:46.860
 There's only two options

00:17:46.860 --> 00:17:47.060
 there.

00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:47.779
 It's pretty simple.

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:48.779
 Either a man or woman

00:17:48.779 --> 00:17:49.500
 becomes a victim

00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:51.539
 of empty human philosophy

00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:53.200
 or he or she

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:54.180
 becomes complete in Christ.

00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:55.340
 Let's begin reading

00:17:55.340 --> 00:17:55.880
 in verse 8.

00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.740
 See to it that no one

00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:00.460
 takes you captive

00:18:00.460 --> 00:18:01.180
 through hollow

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:02.760
 and deceptive philosophy

00:18:02.760 --> 00:18:04.100
 which depends on

00:18:04.100 --> 00:18:04.760
 human tradition

00:18:04.760 --> 00:18:05.980
 and the basic principles

00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:06.680
 of this world

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.060
 rather than on Christ.

00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:09.480
 This is what Paul

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:10.060
 is saying here.

00:18:10.100 --> 00:18:11.020
 It's essentially a warning.

00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:13.320
 To beware lest those

00:18:13.320 --> 00:18:13.980
 of you who have already

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:15.080
 been rescued out

00:18:15.080 --> 00:18:15.820
 of the dominion

00:18:15.820 --> 00:18:16.480
 of darkness

00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:18.300
 and brought into the light

00:18:18.300 --> 00:18:19.360
 through the blood

00:18:19.360 --> 00:18:19.860
 of Christ

00:18:19.860 --> 00:18:21.440
 lest you be carried off

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:22.300
 like captives

00:18:22.300 --> 00:18:24.320
 and being enslaved again.

00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:26.579
 And so this whole idea

00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:28.139
 that Christ has captured us

00:18:28.139 --> 00:18:29.359
 away from the darkness

00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:30.139
 and from the dominion

00:18:30.139 --> 00:18:30.559
 of darkness

00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:31.740
 and brought us into light

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:33.039
 you don't want to go back

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:33.659
 to the darkness.

00:18:34.179 --> 00:18:35.000
 This is a warning

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.659
 that Paul has given to us.

00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:38.259
 This is a call to vigilance

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:40.119
 to continually be aware

00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:41.200
 and watchful

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.480
 lest we be led astray.

00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:46.259
 The church is always

00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:48.379
 under siege by false teachers.

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:49.579
 Matthew 7.15

00:18:49.579 --> 00:18:50.379
 Jesus warns

00:18:50.379 --> 00:18:52.519
 Beware of false teachers

00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:53.339
 who come to you

00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:54.399
 in sheep's clothing

00:18:54.399 --> 00:18:55.779
 but inwardly

00:18:55.779 --> 00:18:57.379
 they are ravenous wolves.

00:18:58.299 --> 00:18:59.199
 And this is happening

00:18:59.199 --> 00:19:00.559
 all over America

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.819
 whether you realize it

00:19:01.819 --> 00:19:02.279
 or not

00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:03.199
 there are people

00:19:03.199 --> 00:19:05.039
 in our congregations

00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:06.159
 all across America

00:19:06.159 --> 00:19:07.699
 and the church

00:19:07.699 --> 00:19:08.199
 as a whole

00:19:08.199 --> 00:19:09.220
 a capital C church

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:10.179
 where people

00:19:10.179 --> 00:19:10.899
 are pretending

00:19:10.899 --> 00:19:12.500
 or demonstrating

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:13.079
 themselves

00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:13.819
 they appear

00:19:13.819 --> 00:19:15.159
 to be one of the sheep

00:19:15.159 --> 00:19:17.099
 one of God's elect

00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:17.939
 one of God's

00:19:17.939 --> 00:19:19.059
 chosen followers

00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:20.460
 and yet

00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:21.059
 they are

00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:23.399
 wolves

00:19:23.399 --> 00:19:24.700
 and they are

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:25.819
 leading people astray

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:27.319
 and this isn't just

00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:28.379
 people in the congregation

00:19:28.379 --> 00:19:29.500
 this is pastors

00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:31.279
 there are pastors

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.319
 and people

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:33.279
 you can just

00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:34.119
 flip on the TV

00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:35.159
 most of the people

00:19:35.159 --> 00:19:35.700
 on TV

00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:36.879
 won't list any names

00:19:36.879 --> 00:19:38.379
 but most of the people

00:19:38.379 --> 00:19:38.839
 on TV

00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.299
 they've gotten to the point

00:19:40.299 --> 00:19:40.740
 where they are

00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:41.779
 because they're really

00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:42.579
 really good with words

00:19:42.579 --> 00:19:43.179
 and they're really

00:19:43.179 --> 00:19:43.759
 really good with

00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:44.659
 leading people astray.

00:19:44.660 --> 00:19:45.920
 a lot of these

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:46.759
 televangelists

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:47.200
 that you see

00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:48.200
 on TV

00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:49.360
 they come with

00:19:49.360 --> 00:19:50.279
 this positive message

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:50.900
 they come with

00:19:50.900 --> 00:19:52.019
 they come looking

00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:52.779
 like sheep

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.600
 and yet they're

00:19:53.600 --> 00:19:54.480
 leading people

00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:55.900
 astray by the thousands

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:56.740
 if nothing else

00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:57.540
 they're leading people

00:19:57.540 --> 00:19:58.720
 in a mediocrity

00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.640
 into doing nothing

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:01.960
 with their faith

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:03.180
 they're leading people

00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:04.440
 into not fulfilling

00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:05.259
 the great commission

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:06.120
 that we are called to

00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:07.060
 and this

00:20:07.060 --> 00:20:07.940
 is a wolf

00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:08.400
 in sheep's glory

00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:08.920
 they're not going to

00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:09.620
 present themselves

00:20:09.620 --> 00:20:10.180
 as wolves

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:11.580
 they're going to

00:20:11.580 --> 00:20:12.220
 present themselves

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:12.900
 as sheep

00:20:12.900 --> 00:20:13.600
 as light

00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:14.240
 it's going to

00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:15.059
 look like light

00:20:15.059 --> 00:20:16.159
 but really inwardly

00:20:16.159 --> 00:20:17.079
 the ravenous wolves

00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:18.219
 Paul warns us

00:20:18.219 --> 00:20:18.740
 in Ephesians

00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:19.599
 the Ephesians elders

00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:20.799
 in Acts 20-29

00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:22.559
 he says this

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.459
 I know that after

00:20:23.459 --> 00:20:24.079
 my departure

00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:25.019
 grievous wolves

00:20:25.019 --> 00:20:25.959
 will enter among you

00:20:25.959 --> 00:20:27.279
 not sparing the flock

00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:28.959
 Peter warned as well

00:20:28.959 --> 00:20:30.099
 2 Peter 3-17

00:20:30.099 --> 00:20:30.659
 beware

00:20:30.659 --> 00:20:32.359
 lest you be led astray

00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:33.339
 with the air

00:20:33.339 --> 00:20:34.319
 of the wicked fall

00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:36.299
 from your own steadfastness

00:20:36.299 --> 00:20:37.740
 so Jesus

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:39.019
 warns us

00:20:39.019 --> 00:20:41.279
 Paul warns us

00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:42.359
 Peter says

00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:42.980
 beware

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:45.839
 this hollow

00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:46.440
 philosophy

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:47.599
 is deceptive

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.819
 in other words

00:20:48.819 --> 00:20:49.660
 it's a lot like

00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:49.980
 fishing

00:20:49.980 --> 00:20:50.279
 right

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:51.360
 fishing

00:20:51.360 --> 00:20:51.940
 deceptive

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.759
 anybody like to fish

00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:54.400
 I love the fish

00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.259
 we've taken Joseph

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:55.900
 a couple times

00:20:55.900 --> 00:20:56.579
 already this month

00:20:56.579 --> 00:20:57.940
 it's a lot of fun

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:58.700
 it's a great pastime

00:20:58.700 --> 00:20:59.759
 it's really beneficial

00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:00.960
 to the fishermen

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:01.279
 right

00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:02.980
 not so much

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:03.519
 to the fish

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.620
 the interesting

00:21:06.620 --> 00:21:07.299
 thing about

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:08.240
 a fish hook

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.720
 is that's not

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:10.940
 what the fish

00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:11.680
 expects

00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:12.200
 right

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:13.600
 a lot of

00:21:13.600 --> 00:21:14.000
 comedians

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.779
 have joked

00:21:14.779 --> 00:21:15.440
 about this

00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:15.700
 they say

00:21:15.700 --> 00:21:16.220
 we should just

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:16.700
 call fishing

00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:17.299
 what it really is

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:17.900
 which is tricking

00:21:17.900 --> 00:21:18.380
 and trapping

00:21:18.380 --> 00:21:19.640
 or tricking

00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:20.080
 and killing

00:21:20.080 --> 00:21:21.860
 we trick them

00:21:21.860 --> 00:21:22.900
 and then

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:24.420
 we eat them

00:21:24.420 --> 00:21:24.660
 right

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:25.180
 that's kind of

00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:25.660
 how it works

00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:26.840
 philosophy

00:21:26.840 --> 00:21:28.880
 works kind of

00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:29.300
 the same

00:21:29.300 --> 00:21:29.300


00:21:29.300 --> 00:21:29.580
 way

00:21:29.580 --> 00:21:32.500
 just like

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:32.880
 the fish

00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:33.300
 is not

00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:34.140
 he sees

00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:34.480
 something

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:34.860
 that he

00:21:34.860 --> 00:21:35.240
 thinks

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:35.440
 he's going

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:35.660
 to get

00:21:35.660 --> 00:21:36.020
 something

00:21:36.020 --> 00:21:36.580
 really

00:21:36.580 --> 00:21:37.300
 really good

00:21:37.300 --> 00:21:38.280
 really delicious

00:21:38.280 --> 00:21:38.620
 he's going

00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:38.880
 to have

00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:39.360
 his meal

00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:39.720
 for that

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.000
 day

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:40.860
 and what

00:21:40.860 --> 00:21:41.300
 he really

00:21:41.300 --> 00:21:41.740
 gets

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:42.900
 is this

00:21:42.900 --> 00:21:43.860
 entrapment

00:21:43.860 --> 00:21:44.840
 he gets

00:21:44.840 --> 00:21:45.360
 a hook

00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:46.020
 in his mouth

00:21:46.020 --> 00:21:46.820
 and it

00:21:46.820 --> 00:21:47.140
 ultimately

00:21:47.140 --> 00:21:47.640
 leads to

00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:48.160
 his death

00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:50.320
 this hollow

00:21:50.320 --> 00:21:50.800
 worldly

00:21:50.800 --> 00:21:51.320
 philosophy

00:21:51.320 --> 00:21:52.040
 is the same

00:21:52.040 --> 00:21:52.780
 what looks

00:21:52.780 --> 00:21:53.260
 wonderful

00:21:53.260 --> 00:21:54.020
 and satisfying

00:21:54.020 --> 00:21:54.600
 and beneficial

00:21:54.600 --> 00:21:55.200
 turns out

00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:55.460
 to be

00:21:55.460 --> 00:21:56.060
 entrapping

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:57.079
 it turns out

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:57.480
 to be

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:58.240
 enslaving

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.619
 and after

00:21:58.619 --> 00:21:59.079
 struggling

00:21:59.079 --> 00:21:59.759
 through it

00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:00.579
 it ultimately

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:01.159
 leads us

00:22:01.159 --> 00:22:01.679
 to death

00:22:01.679 --> 00:22:03.419
 that's why

00:22:03.419 --> 00:22:04.460
 you have

00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:04.799
 all

00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:06.000
 seen these

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:06.779
 supposedly

00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:07.519
 we see these

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:08.000
 supposedly

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.819
 great philosophers

00:22:09.819 --> 00:22:11.419
 coming to the

00:22:11.419 --> 00:22:11.759
 end of their

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.379
 lives and saying

00:22:12.379 --> 00:22:12.940
 it was a

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.679
 washout

00:22:13.679 --> 00:22:15.059
 everything I

00:22:15.059 --> 00:22:15.659
 dedicated my

00:22:15.659 --> 00:22:16.139
 life to

00:22:16.139 --> 00:22:17.519
 in philosophy

00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:17.899
 was a

00:22:17.899 --> 00:22:18.299
 washout

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:19.859
 I love this

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:20.240
 quote by

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:21.019
 Robert Zastrow

00:22:21.019 --> 00:22:22.759
 he's not

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:23.240
 a believer

00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:23.679
 but he

00:22:23.679 --> 00:22:24.559
 says this

00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:25.980
 about

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:26.660
 science

00:22:26.660 --> 00:22:27.160
 and about

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:27.920
 the

00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:28.660
 biblical

00:22:28.660 --> 00:22:29.339
 accounts

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:29.579
 of

00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:30.039
 creation

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:31.099
 I love

00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:31.240
 this

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:31.700
 I have

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:32.079
 to share

00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:32.200
 it

00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:32.360
 with

00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:32.579
 you

00:22:32.579 --> 00:22:33.059
 just

00:22:33.059 --> 00:22:33.240
 because

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:33.400
 it's

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:33.519
 so

00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:33.740
 great

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:33.940
 it says

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:34.539
 the details

00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:35.079
 differ

00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:35.799
 but the

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:36.259
 essential

00:22:36.259 --> 00:22:36.960
 elements

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.319
 in the

00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:37.839
 astronomical

00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:38.559
 and biblical

00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:39.180
 accounts

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:39.360
 of

00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:39.759
 Genesis

00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:40.680
 are the

00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:40.980
 same

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:41.259
 isn't that

00:22:41.259 --> 00:22:41.660
 interesting

00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:42.539
 a scientist

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:43.279
 saying this

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:44.140
 this is an

00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:44.700
 exceedingly

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:45.099
 strange

00:22:45.099 --> 00:22:45.599
 development

00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:46.120
 unexpected

00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:46.819
 by all

00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:47.120
 but the

00:22:47.120 --> 00:22:47.799
 theologians

00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:48.720
 they have

00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.380
 all believed

00:22:49.380 --> 00:22:49.640
 in the

00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:49.960
 world of

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:50.319
 the bible

00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:50.900
 but we

00:22:50.900 --> 00:22:51.460
 scientists

00:22:51.460 --> 00:22:51.920
 did not

00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:52.500
 expect to

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:53.400
 find evidence

00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:54.079
 for an

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:54.440
 abrupt

00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:54.900
 beginning

00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:55.880
 because we

00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:57.080
 have had

00:22:57.080 --> 00:22:58.320
 until recently

00:22:58.320 --> 00:22:59.620
 such extraordinary

00:22:59.620 --> 00:23:00.500
 success in

00:23:00.500 --> 00:23:01.060
 tracing the

00:23:01.060 --> 00:23:01.440
 chain of

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:01.800
 cause and

00:23:01.800 --> 00:23:02.040
 effect

00:23:02.040 --> 00:23:02.620
 backward in

00:23:02.620 --> 00:23:02.940
 time

00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:04.320
 he wrote

00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:04.879
 it seems

00:23:04.879 --> 00:23:05.279
 as though

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:05.939
 science

00:23:05.939 --> 00:23:06.579
 will never

00:23:06.579 --> 00:23:06.919
 be able

00:23:06.919 --> 00:23:07.539
 to raise

00:23:07.539 --> 00:23:08.399
 the curtain

00:23:08.399 --> 00:23:08.819
 on the

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:09.179
 mystery

00:23:09.179 --> 00:23:09.399
 of

00:23:09.399 --> 00:23:09.879
 creation

00:23:09.879 --> 00:23:10.960
 for the

00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:11.399
 scientist

00:23:11.399 --> 00:23:11.839
 who has

00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:12.319
 believed

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:12.799
 by his

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.220
 faith

00:23:13.220 --> 00:23:13.740
 and the

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:14.119
 power

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:14.359
 of

00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:14.720
 reason

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:15.119
 there's

00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:15.299
 the

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:15.579
 empty

00:23:15.579 --> 00:23:16.099
 philosophy

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:16.419
 there

00:23:16.419 --> 00:23:18.139
 the story

00:23:18.139 --> 00:23:18.519
 ends

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:18.899
 like a

00:23:18.899 --> 00:23:19.159
 bad

00:23:19.159 --> 00:23:19.539
 dream

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.299
 he has

00:23:20.299 --> 00:23:20.659
 scaled

00:23:20.659 --> 00:23:20.879
 the

00:23:20.879 --> 00:23:21.139
 mountains

00:23:21.139 --> 00:23:21.319
 of

00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:21.759
 ignorance

00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.500
 he is

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:22.759
 about

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:22.980
 to

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.399
 conquer

00:23:23.399 --> 00:23:23.700
 the

00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:24.099
 highest

00:23:24.099 --> 00:23:24.480
 peak

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:25.179
 and as

00:23:25.179 --> 00:23:25.659
 he pulls

00:23:25.659 --> 00:23:26.099
 himself

00:23:26.099 --> 00:23:26.439
 over

00:23:26.439 --> 00:23:26.639
 the

00:23:26.639 --> 00:23:26.939
 final

00:23:26.939 --> 00:23:27.359
 rock

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:28.159
 he is

00:23:28.159 --> 00:23:28.419
 greeted

00:23:28.419 --> 00:23:28.899
 by a

00:23:28.899 --> 00:23:29.159
 band

00:23:29.159 --> 00:23:29.339
 of

00:23:29.339 --> 00:23:30.159
 theologians

00:23:30.159 --> 00:23:30.740
 who have

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:31.220
 been sitting

00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:31.559
 there

00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:32.819
 for centuries

00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:34.720
 you have

00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:35.059
 to love

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:35.240
 that

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.940
 when science

00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:37.119
 and philosophy

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:38.639
 find true

00:23:38.639 --> 00:23:39.039
 wisdom

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:40.919
 does that

00:23:40.919 --> 00:23:41.299
 mean that we

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:41.619
 should just

00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:42.220
 come to

00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:42.720
 God with

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:43.659
 a blind

00:23:43.659 --> 00:23:44.399
 unreasoning

00:23:44.399 --> 00:23:44.659
 faith

00:23:44.659 --> 00:23:45.240
 absolutely

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:45.639
 not

00:23:45.639 --> 00:23:46.179
 God's

00:23:46.179 --> 00:23:46.619
 given us

00:23:46.619 --> 00:23:47.259
 brains

00:23:47.259 --> 00:23:47.919
 and he

00:23:47.919 --> 00:23:48.539
 expects

00:23:48.539 --> 00:23:49.119
 us to

00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:49.819
 use them

00:23:49.819 --> 00:23:50.119
 to be

00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:50.359
 able to

00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:51.000
 reason

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:51.599
 to be

00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:51.839
 able to

00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:52.099
 find

00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:52.740
 understanding

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.259
 and ultimately

00:23:53.259 --> 00:23:53.500
 to be

00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:53.720
 able to

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:54.279
 understand

00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:55.019
 who he

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:55.419
 is

00:23:55.419 --> 00:23:55.740
 through

00:23:55.740 --> 00:23:56.000
 his

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.339
 word

00:23:56.339 --> 00:23:56.839
 and through

00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:57.240
 the power

00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:57.480
 of the

00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:57.819
 spirit

00:23:57.819 --> 00:23:58.460
 revealing

00:23:58.460 --> 00:23:58.879
 himself

00:23:58.879 --> 00:23:59.599
 to us

00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:00.980
 that is

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:01.660
 christian

00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:01.819
 there is

00:24:01.819 --> 00:24:02.319
 a whole

00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:03.799
 load

00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:04.160
 of

00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:04.559
 christian

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.120
 philosophy

00:24:05.120 --> 00:24:05.400
 I took

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:05.839
 a class

00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:06.120
 on a

00:24:06.120 --> 00:24:06.460
 seminary

00:24:06.460 --> 00:24:06.640
 and it

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:06.680
 is

00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:07.339
 fascinating

00:24:07.339 --> 00:24:08.920
 and it

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:09.319
 is in

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:09.740
 the wisdom

00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:09.980
 that is

00:24:09.980 --> 00:24:10.420
 found in

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:11.019
 his word

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:11.740
 and given

00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:12.019
 to us

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:12.240
 by the

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:12.400
 holy

00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:12.660
 spirit

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:12.940
 that we

00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:13.259
 find

00:24:13.259 --> 00:24:13.900
 understanding

00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:14.339
 of him

00:24:14.339 --> 00:24:14.920
 that we

00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:15.160
 can

00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:16.140
 understand

00:24:16.140 --> 00:24:16.759
 and know

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:16.980
 him

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:17.480
 and walk

00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:18.059
 by faith

00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:18.339
 in his

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:18.759
 truth

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:21.660
 as such

00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:22.319
 Paul continues

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:22.759
 in verse

00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:23.079
 9

00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:23.480
 for

00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:24.160
 in

00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:24.920
 christ

00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:26.059
 all

00:24:26.059 --> 00:24:26.299
 the

00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:26.740
 fullness

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:27.360
 of the

00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:27.759
 deity

00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:28.400
 lives

00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.099
 in bodily

00:24:29.099 --> 00:24:29.700
 form

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:30.720
 and you

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:31.000
 have been

00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:31.480
 given

00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:32.360
 fullness

00:24:32.360 --> 00:24:33.319
 in christ

00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:34.019
 who is

00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:34.480
 the head

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:35.019
 over every

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:35.440
 power

00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:36.360
 and authority

00:24:36.360 --> 00:24:37.380
 in other

00:24:37.380 --> 00:24:37.700
 words

00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:38.779
 who needs

00:24:38.779 --> 00:24:39.380
 the philosophy

00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:39.720
 of this

00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:40.079
 world

00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:41.700
 who needs

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:42.059
 that

00:24:42.059 --> 00:24:42.940
 we

00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:44.100
 have the

00:24:44.100 --> 00:24:44.519
 fullness

00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:45.600
 of the

00:24:45.600 --> 00:24:46.019
 deity

00:24:46.019 --> 00:24:46.920
 of christ

00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:47.759
 in us

00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:50.019
 I love

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.360
 how Paul

00:24:50.360 --> 00:24:50.759
 just kind

00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:51.079
 of throws

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.339
 it in

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:51.480
 there

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:51.660
 it's

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:51.779
 like

00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:51.960
 he's

00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:52.160
 saying

00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:52.680
 oh

00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:53.019
 and by

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.360
 the way

00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:53.640
 he is

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:53.940
 the head

00:24:53.940 --> 00:24:54.220
 of every

00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:54.559
 power

00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:54.860
 and every

00:24:54.860 --> 00:24:55.299
 authority

00:24:55.299 --> 00:24:55.980
 it's

00:24:55.980 --> 00:24:56.100
 all

00:24:56.100 --> 00:24:56.240
 these

00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:56.700
 philosophers

00:24:56.700 --> 00:24:57.140
 who are

00:24:57.140 --> 00:24:57.900
 climbing the

00:24:57.900 --> 00:24:58.100
 ladder

00:24:58.100 --> 00:24:58.299
 they're

00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:58.519
 working

00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:58.900
 their way

00:24:58.900 --> 00:24:59.180
 up

00:24:59.180 --> 00:24:59.539
 in this

00:24:59.539 --> 00:25:00.240
 thing

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:00.559
 where they're

00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:00.920
 building

00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:01.339
 themselves

00:25:01.339 --> 00:25:01.680
 up

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:02.460
 and they

00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:03.019
 almost have

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:03.960
 this worship

00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:04.620
 of themselves

00:25:04.620 --> 00:25:05.099
 and how

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:06.019
 their minds

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:06.299
 have been able

00:25:06.299 --> 00:25:06.920
 to transform

00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:08.059
 from lowly

00:25:08.059 --> 00:25:09.200
 regular thinkers

00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:09.940
 into higher

00:25:09.940 --> 00:25:10.539
 upper level

00:25:10.539 --> 00:25:10.960
 thinkers

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:11.579
 that have

00:25:11.579 --> 00:25:12.019
 this whole

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:12.339
 thing

00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:12.539
 and it's

00:25:12.539 --> 00:25:12.900
 like Paul

00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:13.279
 saying

00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:14.160
 by the way

00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:14.640
 no matter

00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:15.099
 how far

00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:15.640
 you reach

00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:16.120
 in knowledge

00:25:16.120 --> 00:25:16.380
 no matter

00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:16.740
 how much

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:17.180
 you gain

00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:17.460
 and what

00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:17.839
 you think

00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.940
 is wisdom

00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:19.980
 christ

00:25:19.980 --> 00:25:20.359
 still has

00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:21.019
 power over

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:21.279
 you

00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:22.700
 he is

00:25:22.700 --> 00:25:23.180
 still

00:25:23.180 --> 00:25:23.680
 no matter

00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:24.140
 how much

00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:24.420
 you try

00:25:24.420 --> 00:25:24.900
 to reason

00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:25.339
 him out

00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:25.660
 of your

00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:26.120
 life

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.019
 he is

00:25:27.019 --> 00:25:27.619
 still

00:25:27.619 --> 00:25:28.559
 in control

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:29.279
 he is

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.539
 still

00:25:29.539 --> 00:25:30.279
 sovereign

00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:30.939
 over

00:25:30.939 --> 00:25:31.319
 you

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:32.619
 and he's

00:25:32.619 --> 00:25:32.899
 sovereign

00:25:32.899 --> 00:25:33.459
 over me

00:25:33.459 --> 00:25:34.539
 for the

00:25:34.539 --> 00:25:34.839
 believer

00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:35.219
 this is

00:25:35.219 --> 00:25:35.599
 incredible

00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.039
 news

00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:36.599
 because

00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:36.839
 his

00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:37.279
 fullness

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:37.699
 is

00:25:37.699 --> 00:25:38.379
 imparted

00:25:38.379 --> 00:25:39.059
 to us

00:25:39.059 --> 00:25:39.819
 and

00:25:39.819 --> 00:25:40.179
 the

00:25:40.179 --> 00:25:40.859
 implications

00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:41.739
 of that

00:25:41.739 --> 00:25:42.459
 are

00:25:42.459 --> 00:25:42.959
 far

00:25:42.959 --> 00:25:43.339
 reaching

00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:44.619
 they're

00:25:44.619 --> 00:25:44.919
 far

00:25:44.919 --> 00:25:45.299
 reaching

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:46.159
 for our

00:25:46.159 --> 00:25:46.339
 lives

00:25:46.339 --> 00:25:46.659
 I don't

00:25:46.659 --> 00:25:47.019
 even know

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:47.419
 that I

00:25:47.419 --> 00:25:48.039
 can explain

00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:48.259
 it

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:49.139
 in my

00:25:49.139 --> 00:25:49.339
 own

00:25:49.339 --> 00:25:49.779
 words

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:51.099
 or in

00:25:51.099 --> 00:25:51.579
 the human

00:25:51.579 --> 00:25:52.299
 English

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:52.759
 language

00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:53.099
 I don't

00:25:53.099 --> 00:25:53.239
 know

00:25:53.239 --> 00:25:53.479
 that I

00:25:53.479 --> 00:25:53.919
 can fully

00:25:53.919 --> 00:25:54.719
 explain

00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:54.940
 this

00:25:54.940 --> 00:25:55.200
 but I'm

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:55.299
 going

00:25:55.299 --> 00:25:55.640
 to try

00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:55.900
 let me

00:25:55.900 --> 00:25:56.200
 help you

00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:56.519
 try to

00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:56.920
 understand

00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:57.220
 this

00:25:57.220 --> 00:25:57.740
 this word

00:25:57.740 --> 00:25:58.700
 for fullness

00:25:58.700 --> 00:25:59.000
 is

00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.519
 pleroma

00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:00.980
 Greek word

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:01.920
 pleroma

00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:03.000
 and so

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.740
 Christ

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:04.640
 is the

00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:05.279
 pleroma

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:06.360
 of God

00:26:06.360 --> 00:26:08.339
 Christ

00:26:08.339 --> 00:26:08.600
 is the

00:26:08.600 --> 00:26:09.019
 pleroma

00:26:09.019 --> 00:26:09.400
 of God

00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:10.100
 and we

00:26:10.100 --> 00:26:10.740
 are the

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:11.279
 pleroma

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.640
 in him

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.500
 God

00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:16.400
 literally

00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:16.980
 passes

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:17.920
 himself

00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:19.620
 to us

00:26:19.620 --> 00:26:20.460
 through

00:26:20.460 --> 00:26:21.360
 Christ

00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:22.700
 through the

00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:23.240
 sacrifice

00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:23.460
 that he

00:26:23.460 --> 00:26:23.860
 paid on

00:26:23.860 --> 00:26:24.380
 the cross

00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:25.340
 and we

00:26:25.340 --> 00:26:25.680
 have been

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:26.340
 complete

00:26:26.340 --> 00:26:27.180
 in him

00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:27.460
 with

00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:28.140
 eternal

00:26:28.140 --> 00:26:29.040
 results

00:26:29.040 --> 00:26:29.740
 not just

00:26:29.740 --> 00:26:30.160
 temporary

00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:30.580
 results

00:26:30.580 --> 00:26:30.920
 we're so

00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:31.280
 used to

00:26:31.280 --> 00:26:31.380
 the

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:31.740
 temporary

00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:32.080
 the way

00:26:32.080 --> 00:26:32.540
 we think

00:26:32.540 --> 00:26:33.120
 here on

00:26:33.120 --> 00:26:33.560
 this earth

00:26:33.560 --> 00:26:33.880
 we get

00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:34.180
 used to

00:26:34.180 --> 00:26:34.300
 that

00:26:34.300 --> 00:26:34.720
 this

00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:35.020
 has

00:26:35.020 --> 00:26:35.660
 eternal

00:26:35.660 --> 00:26:36.400
 results

00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:36.780
 in our

00:26:36.780 --> 00:26:37.220
 lives

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:37.760
 you're

00:26:37.760 --> 00:26:38.000
 once

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:38.500
 dead

00:26:38.500 --> 00:26:39.000
 in your

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.780
 completely

00:26:40.780 --> 00:26:41.580
 without

00:26:41.580 --> 00:26:42.080

00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:43.540
 destined

 eternal

00:26:44.100 --> 00:26:44.580
 destruction

00:26:44.580 --> 00:26:45.320
 and in

 one

00:26:45.760 --> 00:26:46.540
 glorious

00:26:46.540 --> 00:26:47.000
 moment

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.640
 Christ

00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:48.040
 calls

00:26:48.040 --> 00:26:48.180
 you

00:26:48.180 --> 00:26:48.520
 out

00:26:48.520 --> 00:26:48.780
 of the

00:26:48.780 --> 00:26:49.160
 darkness

00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:49.760
 and

00:26:49.760 --> 00:26:50.060
 into

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:51.100
 light

00:26:51.100 --> 00:26:51.660
 and you

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:52.100
 receive

00:26:52.100 --> 00:26:52.340
 the

00:26:52.340 --> 00:26:52.680
 fullness

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:52.680


00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:52.900
 the

00:26:52.900 --> 00:26:53.440
 pleroma

00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:53.880
 of

00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:54.279
 God

00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:55.420
 through

00:26:55.420 --> 00:26:56.120
 Christ

00:26:56.120 --> 00:26:56.980
 this is

00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:58.039
 huge

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:58.600
 this is

00:26:58.600 --> 00:26:59.080
 tremendous

00:26:59.080 --> 00:26:59.539
 you are

 now

00:26:59.860 --> 00:27:00.600
 complete

00:27:00.600 --> 00:27:01.600
 in him

00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:02.820
 you're

00:27:02.820 --> 00:27:03.420
 complete

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:04.259
 in Christ

00:27:04.259 --> 00:27:04.560
 for the

00:27:04.560 --> 00:27:04.820
 believer

00:27:04.820 --> 00:27:05.500
 which means

00:27:05.500 --> 00:27:06.019
 by the way

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:06.519
 that you

00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:06.920
 don't need

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.259
 Dr.

00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:07.779
 Phil

00:27:07.779 --> 00:27:08.600
 to make

00:27:08.600 --> 00:27:09.140
 these little

00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:09.680
 statements

00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:10.019
 to make

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:10.400
 you feel

00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:10.700
 better

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:12.560
 you don't

00:27:12.560 --> 00:27:12.960
 need to

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.299
 fill your

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:13.779
 head with

 Psycho

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:14.539
 Bible

00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:15.299
 this empty

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:16.799
 idea that

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:17.400
 psychology

00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:17.960
 presents

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:18.600
 to us

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:19.480
 you don't

00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:19.759
 need

00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:22.059
 for crying

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:22.519
 out loud

00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:23.159
 Ayn Rand

00:27:23.159 --> 00:27:23.839
 I don't

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:24.399
 know why

00:27:24.399 --> 00:27:24.959
 we focus

00:27:24.959 --> 00:27:25.439
 so much

00:27:25.439 --> 00:27:25.859
 as believers

00:27:25.859 --> 00:27:26.119
 I see

00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:26.619
 believers

00:27:26.619 --> 00:27:27.139
 posting

00:27:27.139 --> 00:27:27.859
 Ayn Rand

00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:28.159
 quotes

00:27:28.159 --> 00:27:28.559
 all over

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:29.059
 the place

00:27:29.059 --> 00:27:29.799
 she's

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.119
 not a

00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:30.419
 believer

00:27:30.419 --> 00:27:32.639
 she had

00:27:32.639 --> 00:27:33.659
 a really

00:27:33.659 --> 00:27:34.159
 messed up

00:27:34.159 --> 00:27:34.439
 ethical

00:27:34.439 --> 00:27:34.980
 system

00:27:34.980 --> 00:27:35.659
 really

00:27:35.659 --> 00:27:36.079
 messed up

00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:36.599
 philosophy

00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:39.099
 we don't

00:27:39.099 --> 00:27:39.379
 need to

00:27:39.379 --> 00:27:39.759
 fill our

00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.119
 head with

00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:40.619
 unbiblical

00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:41.139
 ungodly

00:27:41.139 --> 00:27:41.419
 truths

00:27:41.419 --> 00:27:41.919
 you are

00:27:41.919 --> 00:27:42.559
 full

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:43.199
 and

00:27:43.199 --> 00:27:43.939
 complete

00:27:43.939 --> 00:27:44.500
 in

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:44.819
 Christ

00:27:44.819 --> 00:27:45.159
 this is

00:27:45.159 --> 00:27:45.559
 where Paul

00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:46.019
 is driving

00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:46.240
 us

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.519
 towards

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:47.579
 to understand

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:48.099
 the fullness

00:27:48.099 --> 00:27:48.399
 and the

00:27:48.399 --> 00:27:48.819
 completeness

00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:49.199
 that we

00:27:49.199 --> 00:27:49.519
 have

00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:49.959
 as

00:27:49.959 --> 00:27:50.359
 believers

00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:50.719
 in

00:27:50.719 --> 00:27:51.279
 Christ

00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:51.939
 that we

00:27:51.939 --> 00:27:52.359
 can have

00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:52.639
 this

00:27:52.639 --> 00:27:53.379
 philosophy

00:27:53.379 --> 00:27:53.659
 this

00:27:53.659 --> 00:27:54.099
 world

00:27:54.099 --> 00:27:54.419
 view

00:27:54.419 --> 00:27:54.980
 through

00:27:54.980 --> 00:27:55.539
 scripture

00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:56.279
 that is

00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:56.759
 far

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:57.379
 far

00:27:57.379 --> 00:27:57.719
 reaching

00:27:57.719 --> 00:27:58.179
 and far

00:27:58.179 --> 00:27:58.439
 above

00:27:58.439 --> 00:27:58.919
 any other

00:27:58.919 --> 00:27:59.359
 worldly

00:27:59.359 --> 00:27:59.679
 wisdom

00:27:59.679 --> 00:27:59.980
 or any

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.179
 other

00:28:00.179 --> 00:28:00.599
 worldly

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:01.159
 philosophy

00:28:01.159 --> 00:28:01.500
 that is

00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:01.759
 out

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:02.059
 there

00:28:02.059 --> 00:28:03.419
 it's

00:28:03.419 --> 00:28:03.659
 not that

00:28:03.659 --> 00:28:03.939
 we don't

00:28:03.939 --> 00:28:04.240
 use

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:04.379
 our

00:28:04.379 --> 00:28:04.579
 minds

00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:04.719
 it's

00:28:04.719 --> 00:28:05.059
 that we

00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:05.819
 supersede

00:28:05.819 --> 00:28:06.099
 because

00:28:06.099 --> 00:28:06.399
 of

00:28:06.399 --> 00:28:06.679
 Christ

00:28:06.679 --> 00:28:07.099
 because

00:28:07.099 --> 00:28:07.539
 of

00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:07.639
 the

00:28:07.639 --> 00:28:08.079
 philosophy

00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:08.319
 that is

00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:08.480
 taught

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:08.579
 in

00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:08.759
 scripture

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:08.959
 we

00:28:08.959 --> 00:28:09.719
 supersede

00:28:09.719 --> 00:28:10.179
 those

00:28:10.179 --> 00:28:10.819
 ideas

00:28:10.819 --> 00:28:11.919
 Paul

00:28:11.919 --> 00:28:12.319
 continues

00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:12.719
 on

00:28:12.719 --> 00:28:14.039
 in

00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:14.379
 him

00:28:14.379 --> 00:28:14.579
 you

00:28:14.579 --> 00:28:14.719
 are

00:28:14.719 --> 00:28:15.199
 also

00:28:15.199 --> 00:28:15.980
 circumcised

00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:16.259
 that's a

00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:16.420
 fun

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:16.680
 word

00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:17.319
 don't

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:17.480
 get

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:17.700
 tripped

00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:17.940
 on it

00:28:17.940 --> 00:28:18.120
 just

00:28:18.120 --> 00:28:18.360
 yet

00:28:18.360 --> 00:28:18.519
 we're

00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:18.680
 not

00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:18.980
 talking

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.160
 about

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:19.519
 physical

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:20.120
 circumcision

00:28:20.120 --> 00:28:20.819
 but in

00:28:20.819 --> 00:28:21.079
 him

00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:21.299
 you

00:28:21.299 --> 00:28:21.519
 were

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:22.240
 also

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:23.059
 circumcised

00:28:23.059 --> 00:28:23.559
 in the

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:23.839
 putting

00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:24.279
 off

00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:24.860
 of the

00:28:24.860 --> 00:28:25.140
 sinful

00:28:25.140 --> 00:28:25.620
 nature

00:28:25.620 --> 00:28:26.920
 not

00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:27.240
 with the

00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:27.720
 circumcision

00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:28.039
 done

00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:28.819
 by hands

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:29.440
 of men

00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:30.299
 but with

00:28:30.299 --> 00:28:30.799
 circumcision

00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:31.059
 done

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.259
 by

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:31.700
 Christ

00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:33.279
 having

00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:33.500
 been

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:33.700
 buried

00:28:33.700 --> 00:28:33.900
 with

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:34.019
 him

00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:34.160
 in

00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:34.519
 baptism

00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:34.759
 and

 with

 him

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:36.140
 through

 your

00:28:36.339 --> 00:28:36.720
 faith

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:36.819
 in

00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:36.940
 the

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.200
 power

00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:37.380
 of

00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:37.599
 God

00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:37.759
 who

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:38.099
 raised

00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:38.360
 you

00:28:38.360 --> 00:28:39.140
 from

00:28:39.140 --> 00:28:39.279
 the

00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:39.559
 dead

00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:41.279
 so

00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:41.539
 Paul

00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:41.899
 isn't

00:28:41.899 --> 00:28:42.639
 referring

00:28:42.639 --> 00:28:42.879
 to

00:28:42.879 --> 00:28:43.119
 a

00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:43.480
 physical

00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:44.159
 circumcision

00:28:44.159 --> 00:28:45.879
 what he's

00:28:45.879 --> 00:28:46.460
 talking about

00:28:46.460 --> 00:28:47.079
 is a

00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:47.519
 relatively

00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:47.839
 new

00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:48.279
 concept

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:48.740
 to these

00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:49.779
 Colossians

00:28:49.779 --> 00:28:50.819
 okay

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:51.099
 so

00:28:51.099 --> 00:28:51.639
 they would

00:28:51.639 --> 00:28:51.740
 have

00:28:51.740 --> 00:28:52.259
 understood

00:28:52.259 --> 00:28:52.720
 what

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.200
 physical

00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:53.799
 circumcision

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:54.980
 is

00:28:54.980 --> 00:28:55.599
 because

00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:56.079
 even

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:56.259
 if

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:56.379
 they

00:28:56.379 --> 00:28:56.539
 were

00:28:56.539 --> 00:28:57.379
 Gentiles

00:28:57.379 --> 00:28:58.079
 they

00:28:58.079 --> 00:28:58.220
 would

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:58.379
 have

00:28:58.379 --> 00:28:58.839
 known

00:28:58.839 --> 00:28:59.059
 this

00:28:59.059 --> 00:28:59.480
 tradition

00:28:59.480 --> 00:28:59.740
 that

00:28:59.740 --> 00:28:59.940
 the

00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:00.299
 Jewish

00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:00.700
 people

00:29:00.700 --> 00:29:01.059
 were

00:29:01.059 --> 00:29:01.720
 practicing

00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:02.500
 up

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:02.740
 until

00:29:02.740 --> 00:29:02.960
 this

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.299
 point

00:29:03.299 --> 00:29:04.839
 and

00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:05.000
 so

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.240
 he

00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:05.480
 says

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:05.619
 this

00:29:05.619 --> 00:29:05.740
 is

00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:05.879
 not

00:29:05.879 --> 00:29:06.039
 a

00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:06.720
 physical

00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:07.700
 circumcision

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:07.919
 this

00:29:07.919 --> 00:29:08.240
 is a

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.919
 spiritual

00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.460
 putting

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:12.779
 off

00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:12.920
 of

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:13.060
 the

00:29:13.060 --> 00:29:13.340
 old

00:29:13.340 --> 00:29:13.900
 flesh

00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:14.360
 and

00:29:14.360 --> 00:29:14.539
 you

00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:14.660
 are

00:29:14.660 --> 00:29:14.800
 a

00:29:14.800 --> 00:29:14.960
 new

00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:15.500
 creation

00:29:15.500 --> 00:29:15.860
 in

00:29:15.860 --> 00:29:16.140
 him

00:29:16.140 --> 00:29:16.800
 he's

00:29:16.800 --> 00:29:17.000
 saying

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:17.420
 look

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:17.620
 your

00:29:17.620 --> 00:29:19.160
 salvation

00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:19.660
 is

00:29:19.660 --> 00:29:20.440
 absolutely

00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:21.300
 complete

00:29:21.300 --> 00:29:22.460
 there's

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:23.000
 no need

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.259
 to be

00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:23.860
 circumcised

00:29:23.860 --> 00:29:24.100
 you've

00:29:24.100 --> 00:29:24.220
 been

00:29:24.220 --> 00:29:24.720
 baptized

00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:26.400
 so

00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:26.640
 make

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:26.860
 no

00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:27.100
 mistake

00:29:27.100 --> 00:29:27.279
 that

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:27.480
 Paul

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:27.620
 is

00:29:27.620 --> 00:29:28.140
 continuing

00:29:28.140 --> 00:29:28.539
 this

00:29:28.539 --> 00:29:29.580
 apologetic

00:29:29.580 --> 00:29:29.920
 he is

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:30.519
 combating

00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:31.279
 the

00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:32.740
 philosophy

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:33.360
 of this

00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:33.700
 time

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:33.860
 that

00:29:33.860 --> 00:29:34.180
 people

00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.600
 have

00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:35.539
 during

00:29:35.539 --> 00:29:35.720
 this

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:36.060
 time

00:29:36.060 --> 00:29:36.420
 among

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:36.800
 many

00:29:36.800 --> 00:29:37.440
 heretical

00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:37.940
 movements

00:29:37.940 --> 00:29:38.300
 trying to

00:29:38.300 --> 00:29:38.640
 persuade

00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:39.040
 believers

00:29:39.040 --> 00:29:39.259
 from

00:29:39.259 --> 00:29:39.660
 truth

00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:40.140
 there

00:29:40.140 --> 00:29:40.240
 were

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:40.380
 the

00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:40.980
 Judaizers

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:41.280
 these

00:29:41.280 --> 00:29:41.380
 were

00:29:41.380 --> 00:29:41.540
 the

00:29:41.540 --> 00:29:41.840
 people

00:29:41.840 --> 00:29:42.100
 who

00:29:42.100 --> 00:29:42.560
 were

00:29:42.560 --> 00:29:42.840
 still

00:29:42.840 --> 00:29:43.460
 promoting

00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:44.480
 Jewish

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:45.060
 ceremony

00:29:45.060 --> 00:29:45.580
 essentially

00:29:45.580 --> 00:29:46.300
 this

00:29:46.300 --> 00:29:46.640
 Jewish

00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:47.259
 ceremonial

00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:47.420
 law

00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:47.560
 that

00:29:47.560 --> 00:29:47.900
 Christ

00:29:47.900 --> 00:29:48.080
 had

00:29:48.080 --> 00:29:48.300
 come

00:29:48.300 --> 00:29:48.500
 not

00:29:48.500 --> 00:29:48.660
 to

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:49.060
 abolish

00:29:49.060 --> 00:29:49.200
 but

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:49.320
 to

00:29:49.320 --> 00:29:49.740
 fulfill

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:50.280
 and

00:29:50.280 --> 00:29:50.460
 so

00:29:50.460 --> 00:29:51.000
 Christ

00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:51.460
 came

00:29:51.460 --> 00:29:51.980
 to

00:29:51.980 --> 00:29:52.520
 fulfill

00:29:52.520 --> 00:29:52.880
 this

00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:53.180
 law

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:54.460
 and

00:29:54.460 --> 00:29:55.140
 these

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:55.840
 Judaizers

00:29:55.840 --> 00:29:57.000
 believed

00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:57.259
 that

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:57.580
 Christians

00:29:57.580 --> 00:29:57.780
 should

00:29:57.780 --> 00:29:58.259
 remain

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:59.900
 true

00:29:59.900 --> 00:30:00.220
 to

00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:00.660
 Jewish

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:01.360
 ceremonial

00:30:01.360 --> 00:30:01.660
 law

00:30:01.660 --> 00:30:02.780
 and

00:30:02.780 --> 00:30:02.920
 they

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.040
 would

00:30:03.040 --> 00:30:03.200
 come

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:03.320
 from

00:30:03.320 --> 00:30:03.440
 the

00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:03.680
 mindset

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.000
 that's

00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:04.360
 fine

00:30:04.360 --> 00:30:05.160
 great

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:05.700
 you believe

00:30:05.700 --> 00:30:05.720
!

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:05.860
 in

00:30:05.860 --> 00:30:06.100
 Jesus

00:30:06.100 --> 00:30:06.580
 Christ

00:30:06.580 --> 00:30:07.120
 but we

00:30:07.120 --> 00:30:07.340
 have

00:30:07.340 --> 00:30:07.620
 all these

00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:09.940
 ceremonies

00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:10.300
 that we

00:30:10.300 --> 00:30:10.960
 have to

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.100
 keep

00:30:11.100 --> 00:30:11.420
 doing

00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:11.580
 and

00:30:11.580 --> 00:30:11.680
 you

00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:11.780
 need

00:30:11.780 --> 00:30:11.860
 to

00:30:11.860 --> 00:30:12.000
 be

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.700
 circumcised

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:13.600
 so

00:30:13.600 --> 00:30:13.880
 Paul

00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:14.080
 makes

00:30:14.080 --> 00:30:14.320
 a clear

00:30:14.320 --> 00:30:14.720
 distinction

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.600
 here

00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:16.640
 we're

00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:16.800
 not

00:30:16.800 --> 00:30:17.080
 talking

00:30:17.080 --> 00:30:17.320
 about

00:30:17.320 --> 00:30:17.840
 surgery

00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:18.540
 we're

00:30:18.540 --> 00:30:18.800
 talking

00:30:18.800 --> 00:30:19.240
 about

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:20.340
 putting

00:30:20.340 --> 00:30:20.620
 off

00:30:20.620 --> 00:30:20.820
 the

00:30:20.820 --> 00:30:21.100
 sinful

00:30:21.100 --> 00:30:21.440
 nature

00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:21.660
 that

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:21.800
 we

00:30:21.800 --> 00:30:21.980
 were

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:22.320
 born

00:30:22.320 --> 00:30:22.740
 with

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:25.100
 having

00:30:25.100 --> 00:30:25.320
 been

00:30:25.320 --> 00:30:25.840
 buried

00:30:25.840 --> 00:30:26.120
 with

00:30:26.120 --> 00:30:26.460
 him

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:27.060
 in

00:30:27.060 --> 00:30:27.620
 baptism

00:30:27.620 --> 00:30:28.259
 literally

00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:29.480
 immersion

00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:30.540
 or

00:30:30.540 --> 00:30:31.520
 submersion

00:30:31.520 --> 00:30:32.800
 being

00:30:32.800 --> 00:30:33.259
 raised

00:30:33.259 --> 00:30:33.440
 with

00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:33.640
 him

00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:33.980
 through

00:30:33.980 --> 00:30:34.660
 your

00:30:34.660 --> 00:30:35.220
 faith

00:32:09.179 --> 00:32:09.519
 made

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:09.759
 you

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.699
 alive

00:32:10.699 --> 00:32:11.199
 with

00:32:11.199 --> 00:32:11.719
 Christ

00:32:11.719 --> 00:32:13.480
 he

00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:14.099
 forgave

00:32:14.099 --> 00:32:14.339
 us

00:32:14.339 --> 00:32:14.539
 not

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:15.039
 some

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:15.299
 not

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:15.759
 most

00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:16.000
 but

00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:16.599
 all

00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:17.240
 of

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.459
 our

00:32:17.459 --> 00:32:18.039
 sins

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:19.179
 having

00:32:19.179 --> 00:32:19.699
 canceled

00:32:19.699 --> 00:32:19.919
 the

00:32:19.919 --> 00:32:20.099
 written

00:32:20.099 --> 00:32:20.539
 code

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:21.079
 with

00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:21.259
 its

00:32:21.259 --> 00:32:21.839
 regulations

00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:22.819
 that

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:23.039
 was

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:23.599
 against

00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:24.079
 us

00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:24.259
 and

00:32:24.259 --> 00:32:24.419
 that

00:32:24.419 --> 00:32:24.699
 stood

00:32:24.699 --> 00:32:25.259
 opposed

00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:25.439
 to

00:32:25.439 --> 00:32:25.740
 us

00:32:25.740 --> 00:32:26.219
 he

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:26.480
 took

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:26.620
 it

00:32:26.620 --> 00:32:27.000
 away

00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:28.019
 nailing

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.240
 it

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:28.579
 to

00:32:28.579 --> 00:32:28.740
 the

00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:29.180
 cross

00:32:29.180 --> 00:32:31.220
 this

00:32:31.220 --> 00:32:31.319
 is

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:31.460
 the

00:32:31.460 --> 00:32:31.740
 difference

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.059
 between

00:32:32.059 --> 00:32:32.339
 a

00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:32.720
 believer

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:33.299
 and

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:33.460
 an

00:32:33.460 --> 00:32:33.920
 unbeliever

00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:34.120
 so

00:32:34.120 --> 00:32:34.279
 if

00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:34.440
 you

00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:34.640
 are

00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:34.779
 an

00:32:34.779 --> 00:32:35.319
 unbeliever

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:35.920
 in here

00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:36.120
 this

00:32:36.120 --> 00:32:36.440
 morning

00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:36.660
 and

00:32:36.660 --> 00:32:36.799
 we

00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:37.059
 know

00:32:37.059 --> 00:32:37.240
 that

00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:37.480
 you're

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:37.920
 amongst

00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.299
 us

00:32:38.299 --> 00:32:38.819
 and

00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:39.120
 we're

00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:39.500
 glad

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:39.680
 that

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:39.880
 you're

00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:40.100
 here

00:32:40.100 --> 00:32:40.259
 we're

00:32:40.259 --> 00:32:40.480
 glad

00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:40.640
 that

00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:40.779
 you're

00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:41.019
 hearing

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:41.380
 God's

00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:41.620
 word

00:32:41.620 --> 00:32:42.140
 this

00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:42.279
 is

00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:42.420
 the

00:32:42.420 --> 00:32:42.680
 difference

00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:42.960
 between

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:43.100
 a

00:32:43.100 --> 00:32:43.339
 believer

00:32:43.339 --> 00:32:43.519
 and

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:44.079
 unbeliever

00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:44.600
 it's

00:32:44.600 --> 00:32:44.720
 the

00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:44.940
 difference

00:32:44.940 --> 00:32:45.180
 between

00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:45.500
 hope

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:45.620
 and

00:32:45.620 --> 00:32:46.400
 hopelessness

00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:46.420
!

00:32:56.220 --> 00:32:57.200
 it's

00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:57.299
 the

00:32:57.299 --> 00:32:57.519
 difference

00:32:57.519 --> 00:32:57.779
 between

00:32:57.779 --> 00:32:58.220
 being held

00:32:58.220 --> 00:32:58.680
 captive

00:32:58.680 --> 00:32:59.319
 by sin

00:32:59.319 --> 00:32:59.980
 and having

00:32:59.980 --> 00:33:00.680
 the freedom

00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:01.380
 from sin

00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:01.740
 through the

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:02.059
 blood of

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:02.279
 Jesus

00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:02.779
 Christ

00:33:02.779 --> 00:33:04.000
 see a lot

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:04.299
 of times

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:04.940
 as

00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:05.500
 unbelievers

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:05.900
 I've talked

00:33:05.900 --> 00:33:06.019
 to

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:06.539
 unbelievers

00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:07.019
 I like

00:33:07.019 --> 00:33:07.640
 conversing

00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:08.160
 with

00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:08.660
 unbelievers

00:33:08.660 --> 00:33:09.140
 because they

00:33:09.140 --> 00:33:09.339
 have a

00:33:09.339 --> 00:33:09.500
 different

00:33:09.500 --> 00:33:10.000
 perspective

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:10.680
 than what

00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:11.079
 we do

00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:11.579
 I don't

00:33:11.579 --> 00:33:12.079
 tend to

00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.380
 judge

00:33:12.380 --> 00:33:12.559
 them

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:12.759
 because

00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:12.940
 they

00:33:12.940 --> 00:33:13.140
 haven't

00:33:13.140 --> 00:33:13.480
 come in

00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:13.740
 and see

00:33:13.740 --> 00:33:13.900
 the

00:33:13.900 --> 00:33:14.160
 light

00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:14.759
 they don't

00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:15.100
 know

00:33:15.100 --> 00:33:15.299
 these

00:33:15.299 --> 00:33:15.519
 great

00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:15.819
 truths

00:33:15.819 --> 00:33:16.100
 yet

00:33:16.099 --> 00:33:17.699
 but

00:33:17.699 --> 00:33:18.659
 the

00:33:18.659 --> 00:33:19.119
 interesting

00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:19.359
 thing

00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:19.519
 is

00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:19.639
 they

00:33:19.639 --> 00:33:19.980
 think

00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:20.279
 that

00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:20.799
 this

00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:21.459
 Christianity

00:33:21.459 --> 00:33:21.939
 is all

00:33:21.939 --> 00:33:22.119
 about

00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:22.500
 a set

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:22.639
 of

00:33:22.639 --> 00:33:22.899
 rules

00:33:22.899 --> 00:33:23.299
 and a set

00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:23.439
 of

00:33:23.439 --> 00:33:23.699
 morals

00:33:23.699 --> 00:33:23.959
 and that

00:33:23.959 --> 00:33:24.099
 you

00:33:24.099 --> 00:33:24.579
 are

00:33:24.579 --> 00:33:25.059
 then

00:33:25.059 --> 00:33:26.019
 entrapped

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:26.539
 by

00:33:26.539 --> 00:33:26.799
 these

00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:27.000
 set

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.159
 of

00:33:27.159 --> 00:33:27.399
 rules

00:33:27.399 --> 00:33:27.619
 once

00:33:27.619 --> 00:33:27.740
 you

00:33:27.740 --> 00:33:27.939
 come

00:33:27.939 --> 00:33:28.240
 into

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:28.599
 faith

00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:28.740
 in

00:33:28.740 --> 00:33:28.939
 Jesus

00:33:28.939 --> 00:33:29.259
 Christ

00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:29.439
 it

00:33:29.439 --> 00:33:29.679
 couldn't

00:33:29.679 --> 00:33:29.839
 be

00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:30.240
 more

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:30.899
 far

00:33:30.899 --> 00:33:31.059
 from

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:31.179
 the

00:33:31.179 --> 00:33:31.419
 truth

00:33:31.419 --> 00:33:31.599
 that

00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:31.759
 is

00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:31.939
 a

00:33:31.939 --> 00:33:32.240
 lie

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:32.399
 from

00:33:32.399 --> 00:33:32.519
 the

00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:32.740
 enemy

00:33:32.740 --> 00:33:33.259
 because

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.759
 once

00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:33.959
 we

00:33:33.959 --> 00:33:34.279
 come

00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:34.699
 into

00:33:34.699 --> 00:33:35.119
 Christ

00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:35.539
 we

00:33:35.539 --> 00:33:35.719
 have

00:33:35.719 --> 00:33:35.859
 the

00:33:35.859 --> 00:33:36.279
 freedom

00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:36.519
 from

00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:36.719
 that

00:33:36.719 --> 00:33:36.919
 sin

00:33:36.919 --> 00:33:37.039
 we

00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:37.159
 have

00:33:37.159 --> 00:33:37.299
 the

00:33:37.299 --> 00:33:37.339
!

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:37.519
 freedom

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:37.539
!

00:33:37.539 --> 00:33:37.719
 from

00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:37.920
 that

00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:38.360
 bondage

00:33:38.360 --> 00:33:38.519
 of

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:38.819
 sin

00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:39.259
 that

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:39.539
 once

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:39.839
 held

00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:40.079
 us

00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:40.220
 and

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:40.420
 this

00:33:40.420 --> 00:33:40.519
 is

00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:40.660
 the

00:33:40.660 --> 00:33:40.900
 difference

00:33:40.900 --> 00:33:41.240
 between

00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:41.720
 a

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:42.079
 believer

00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:42.620
 and

00:33:42.620 --> 00:33:42.759
 an

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.299
 unbeliever

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:43.579
 the

00:33:43.579 --> 00:33:44.079
 regenerate

00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:44.180
 and

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:44.299
 the

00:33:44.299 --> 00:33:44.900
 unregenerate

00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:45.360
 what

00:33:45.360 --> 00:33:45.740
 Jesus

00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:46.519
 accomplished

00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:48.039
 on the

00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:48.319
 cross

00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:48.660
 was a

00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:49.120
 cancellation

00:33:49.120 --> 00:33:49.600
 of the

00:33:49.600 --> 00:33:49.940
 eternal

00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:50.740
 we

00:33:50.740 --> 00:33:51.220
 owed

00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:52.660
 and

00:33:52.660 --> 00:33:52.720

00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:53.100
 it

00:33:53.100 --> 00:33:53.360
 away

00:33:53.360 --> 00:33:53.559
 and

00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:53.759
 nailed

00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:53.880

00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:53.980
 to

00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:02.079
 over

00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:02.460
 them

00:34:02.460 --> 00:34:03.319
 by

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.320
 as

00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:26.740
 believers

00:34:26.740 --> 00:34:27.960
 which

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:28.639
 means

00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:29.500
 that

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:29.619
 we

00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:30.820
 more

00:34:30.820 --> 00:34:31.199
 reason

00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:31.380
 to

00:34:31.380 --> 00:34:31.519
 be

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:32.000
 ready

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:32.480
 to

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:32.679
 give

00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:32.800
 an

00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:33.139
 account

00:34:33.139 --> 00:34:33.340
 for

00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:33.519
 the

00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:33.900
 hope

00:34:33.900 --> 00:34:34.420
 that

00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:34.619
 is

00:34:34.619 --> 00:34:34.980
 within

00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:35.360
 us

00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:36.900
 and

00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:37.059
 this

00:34:37.059 --> 00:34:37.139
 is

00:34:37.139 --> 00:34:37.280
 the

00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:37.480
 reason

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:37.719
 why

00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:37.860
 I

00:34:37.860 --> 00:34:38.119
 so

00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:38.659
 readily

00:34:38.659 --> 00:34:39.199
 agreed

00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:39.420
 when

00:34:39.420 --> 00:34:39.659
 Nathan

00:34:39.659 --> 00:34:40.119
 asked

00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:40.260
 he

00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:40.559
 asked

00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:41.440
 if

00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:41.900
 I

00:34:41.900 --> 00:34:42.000
 would

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.099
 be

00:34:42.099 --> 00:34:42.320
 willing

00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:42.539
 to

00:34:42.539 --> 00:34:42.760
 preach

00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:42.900
 for

00:34:42.900 --> 00:34:43.059
 either

00:34:43.059 --> 00:34:43.400
 one

00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:43.559
 or

00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:43.880
 two

00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:44.340
 I

00:34:44.340 --> 00:34:44.699
 readily

00:34:44.699 --> 00:34:45.079
 agreed

00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:45.260
 for

00:34:45.260 --> 00:34:45.500
 two

00:34:45.500 --> 00:34:45.800
 weeks

00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:45.940
 in

00:34:45.940 --> 00:34:46.039
 a

00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:46.260
 row

00:34:46.260 --> 00:34:46.659
 because

00:34:46.659 --> 00:34:47.579
 of

00:34:47.579 --> 00:34:47.960
 this

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:48.260
 we're

00:34:48.260 --> 00:34:48.400
 going

00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:48.480
 to

00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:48.619
 get

00:34:48.619 --> 00:34:48.840
 into

00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:49.059
 right

00:34:49.059 --> 00:34:49.340
 now

00:34:49.340 --> 00:34:50.179
 we're

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:50.340
 really

00:34:50.340 --> 00:34:50.480
 going

00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:50.519
 to

00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:50.659
 be

00:34:50.659 --> 00:34:50.980
 shifting

00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:51.139
 a

00:34:51.139 --> 00:34:51.260
 little

00:34:51.260 --> 00:34:51.500
 bit

00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:51.940
 into

00:34:51.940 --> 00:34:52.139
 a

00:34:52.139 --> 00:34:52.699
 transition

00:34:52.699 --> 00:34:53.460
 right

00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:53.699
 now

00:34:53.699 --> 00:34:54.039
 we're

00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:54.099
 going

00:34:54.099 --> 00:34:54.159
 to

00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:54.740
 bridge

00:34:54.740 --> 00:34:54.920
 the

00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:55.179
 gap

00:34:55.179 --> 00:34:55.539
 between

00:34:55.539 --> 00:34:55.860
 this

00:34:55.860 --> 00:34:56.159
 week

00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:56.579
 and

 next

00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:57.179
 week

 this

00:34:58.480 --> 00:34:58.860
 next

00:34:58.860 --> 00:34:59.380
 verse

00:34:59.380 --> 00:34:59.599
 that

00:34:59.599 --> 00:34:59.740
 we're

00:34:59.739 --> 00:34:59.859
 going

00:34:59.859 --> 00:34:59.919
 to

00:34:59.919 --> 00:35:00.119
 start

00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:00.279
 with

00:35:00.279 --> 00:35:00.519
 next

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:00.679
 week

00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:01.099
 begins

00:35:01.099 --> 00:35:01.359
 with

00:35:01.359 --> 00:35:02.179
 therefore

00:35:02.179 --> 00:35:03.479
 therefore

00:35:03.479 --> 00:35:03.919
 which means

00:35:03.919 --> 00:35:04.419
 it connects

00:35:04.419 --> 00:35:05.000
 back to

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:05.199
 this

00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:05.500
 week

00:35:05.500 --> 00:35:06.399
 in light

00:35:06.399 --> 00:35:06.679
 of the

00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:06.979
 truths

00:35:06.979 --> 00:35:07.219
 that we

00:35:07.219 --> 00:35:07.479
 talked

00:35:07.479 --> 00:35:07.679
 about

00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:08.000
 this

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:08.219
 week

00:35:08.219 --> 00:35:08.399
 we're

00:35:08.399 --> 00:35:08.500
 going

00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:08.599
 to

00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:08.739
 see

00:35:08.739 --> 00:35:08.919
 the

00:35:08.919 --> 00:35:09.599
 application

00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:10.259
 of

00:35:10.259 --> 00:35:10.439
 those

00:35:10.439 --> 00:35:10.779
 truths

00:35:10.779 --> 00:35:11.099
 next

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:11.399
 week

00:35:11.399 --> 00:35:12.439
 and

00:35:12.439 --> 00:35:12.519
 what

00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:12.819
 we see

00:35:12.819 --> 00:35:12.979
 is

00:35:12.979 --> 00:35:13.359
 Paul's

00:35:13.359 --> 00:35:13.759
 warning

00:35:13.759 --> 00:35:15.059
 not to

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:15.219
 be

00:35:15.219 --> 00:35:15.539
 taken

00:35:15.539 --> 00:35:15.779
 by

00:35:15.779 --> 00:35:16.079
 empty

00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:16.659
 philosophy

00:35:16.659 --> 00:35:17.419
 then

00:35:17.419 --> 00:35:17.599
 he

00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:18.000
 demonstrates

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:18.239
 how

00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:18.359
 the

00:35:18.359 --> 00:35:18.879
 completeness

00:35:18.879 --> 00:35:19.059
 in

00:35:19.059 --> 00:35:19.319
 Christ

00:35:19.319 --> 00:35:19.579
 gives

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:19.779
 us

00:35:19.779 --> 00:35:20.559
 superiority

00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:21.539
 over

00:35:21.539 --> 00:35:21.919
 worldly

00:35:21.919 --> 00:35:22.559
!

00:35:29.739 --> 00:35:30.759
 And

00:35:30.759 --> 00:35:30.939
 then

00:35:30.939 --> 00:35:31.259
 next

00:35:31.259 --> 00:35:31.419
 week

00:35:31.419 --> 00:35:31.539
 we

00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:31.699
 get

00:35:31.699 --> 00:35:31.879
 to

00:35:31.879 --> 00:35:32.579
 therefore

00:35:32.579 --> 00:35:34.000
 so

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:34.279
 Paul

00:35:34.279 --> 00:35:34.619
 begins

00:35:34.619 --> 00:35:34.779
 to

00:35:34.779 --> 00:35:35.099
 combat

 about

00:35:59.619 --> 00:35:59.799
 before

 head

00:36:00.139 --> 00:36:00.299
 into

00:36:00.799 --> 00:36:01.079
 passage

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:01.639
 we've

00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:01.799
 already

00:36:01.799 --> 00:36:02.139

 expository

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:03.319
 apologetics

00:36:03.319 --> 00:36:03.579
 in its

00:36:03.579 --> 00:36:04.299
 basic form

00:36:04.299 --> 00:36:05.079
 is knowing

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:05.420
 what we

00:36:05.420 --> 00:36:05.880
 believe

00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:06.719
 why we

00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:07.079
 believe

00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:07.299
 it

00:36:07.299 --> 00:36:07.619
 right

00:36:07.619 --> 00:36:08.139
 and

00:36:08.139 --> 00:36:08.279
 then

00:36:08.279 --> 00:36:08.460
 being

00:36:08.460 --> 00:36:08.619
 able

00:36:08.739 --> 00:36:09.219
 communicate

00:36:09.219 --> 00:36:09.559
 those

00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:09.980
 truths

00:36:09.980 --> 00:36:10.940
 effectively

00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:11.219
 to

00:36:11.219 --> 00:36:11.359
 other

00:36:11.359 --> 00:36:11.539
 people

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:11.739
 that's

00:36:11.739 --> 00:36:11.839
 the

00:36:11.839 --> 00:36:12.159
 important

00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:12.480
 part

00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:12.859
 being

00:36:12.859 --> 00:36:12.940
 able

00:36:18.619 --> 00:36:18.980

 you

00:40:21.580 --> 00:40:21.880
 know

00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:22.160
 so

00:40:22.160 --> 00:40:22.340
 that's

00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:22.480
 not

00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:22.620
 an

00:40:22.620 --> 00:40:22.880
 excuse

00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:23.220
 anymore

00:40:23.220 --> 00:40:23.519
 right

00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:24.240
 you

00:40:24.240 --> 00:40:24.560
 know

00:40:24.560 --> 00:40:24.940
 now

00:40:24.940 --> 00:40:26.180
 but

00:40:26.180 --> 00:40:26.320
 I

00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:26.580
 think

00:40:26.580 --> 00:40:26.920
 the

00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:27.440
 reality

00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:27.640
 is

00:40:27.640 --> 00:40:27.760
 that

00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:28.000
 most

00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:28.180
 of

00:40:28.180 --> 00:40:28.320
 us

00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:28.580
 don't

00:40:28.580 --> 00:40:29.019
 practice

00:40:29.019 --> 00:40:29.440
 this

00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:30.019
 because

00:40:30.019 --> 00:40:30.260
 we

00:40:30.260 --> 00:40:30.500
 think

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:31.140
 apologetics

00:40:31.140 --> 00:40:31.300
 is

00:40:31.300 --> 00:40:31.440
 for

00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:31.620
 the

00:40:31.620 --> 00:40:32.160
 elite

00:40:32.160 --> 00:40:32.160


00:40:32.160 --> 00:40:32.820
 Christians

00:40:32.820 --> 00:40:33.740
 it's

00:40:33.739 --> 00:40:33.979
 for the

00:40:33.979 --> 00:40:34.259
 Ravi

00:40:34.259 --> 00:40:34.879
 Zacharias

00:40:34.879 --> 00:40:35.639
 and for

00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:36.219
 those who

00:40:36.219 --> 00:40:36.359
 are

00:40:36.359 --> 00:40:36.859
 seminary

00:40:36.859 --> 00:40:37.299
 professors

00:40:37.299 --> 00:40:38.239
 and those

00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:38.519
 who

00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:39.059
 are

00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:40.859
 elite

00:40:40.859 --> 00:40:41.199
 what we

00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:41.939
 think of

00:40:41.939 --> 00:40:42.239
 as being

00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:42.659
 elite

00:40:42.659 --> 00:40:43.099
 Christians

00:40:43.099 --> 00:40:45.239
 we

00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:45.839
 believe

00:40:45.839 --> 00:40:46.059
 that

00:40:46.059 --> 00:40:46.619
 apologetics

00:40:46.619 --> 00:40:47.199
 requires

00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:47.860
 a certain

00:40:47.860 --> 00:40:48.420
 level of

00:40:48.420 --> 00:40:48.880
 knowledge

00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:49.119
 of

00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:49.860
 science

00:40:49.860 --> 00:40:50.179
 and

00:40:50.179 --> 00:40:51.019
 philosophy

00:40:51.019 --> 00:40:51.699
 and logic

00:40:51.699 --> 00:40:52.039
 and how

00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:52.599
 to debate

00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:53.019
 people

00:40:53.019 --> 00:40:54.139
 we

00:40:54.139 --> 00:40:54.380
 believe

00:40:54.380 --> 00:40:54.519
 that

00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:55.000
 apologetics

00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:55.420
 requires

00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:56.339
 an intimate

00:40:56.339 --> 00:40:56.900
 knowledge

00:40:56.900 --> 00:40:57.579
 of cults

00:40:57.579 --> 00:40:58.319
 and heresies

00:40:58.319 --> 00:40:59.819
 and we

00:40:59.819 --> 00:41:00.219
 think that

00:41:00.219 --> 00:41:00.539
 if we

00:41:00.539 --> 00:41:01.139
 don't have

00:41:01.139 --> 00:41:01.440
 this

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:01.639
 then

00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:02.400
 maybe

00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:03.880
 we

00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:04.739
 can't

00:41:04.739 --> 00:41:04.900
 do

00:41:04.900 --> 00:41:05.099
 this

00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:05.639
 ourselves

00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:07.400
 so

00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:07.699
 this is

00:41:07.699 --> 00:41:07.880
 what I

00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:08.119
 want you

00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:08.380
 to think

00:41:08.380 --> 00:41:08.599
 about

00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:08.759
 over

00:41:08.759 --> 00:41:08.880
 the

00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:09.059
 next

00:41:09.059 --> 00:41:09.219
 week

00:41:09.219 --> 00:41:09.380
 this

00:41:09.380 --> 00:41:09.480
 is

00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:09.559
 what

00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:09.619
 I

00:41:09.619 --> 00:41:09.739
 want

00:41:09.739 --> 00:41:09.819

00:41:09.819 --> 00:41:09.940

00:41:09.940 --> 00:41:10.400
 meditate

00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:10.880
 over

00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:12.259
 in addition

00:41:13.420 --> 00:41:13.660

00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:51.480
 there's

 that's

00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:54.559
 there

00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:54.699
 we're

00:41:54.699 --> 00:41:54.840
 not

00:43:51.219 --> 00:43:51.459
 then

00:43:51.459 --> 00:43:51.739
 as

00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:00.819
 that

00:44:00.819 --> 00:44:01.019
 people

 be

00:44:02.739 --> 00:44:03.059
 true

00:44:03.059 --> 00:44:03.519
 and

00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:03.619
 what

00:44:03.619 --> 00:44:03.779
 we've

 catechisms

00:44:05.539 --> 00:44:06.519

00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:06.839
 we've

00:44:06.839 --> 00:44:07.179
 had people

 mommy

00:44:14.279 --> 00:44:14.899
 or daddy

00:44:14.899 --> 00:44:15.599
 or

00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:16.239
 he might

00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:16.599
 try to

00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:17.000
 reason

00:44:20.839 --> 00:44:20.980
 he

00:44:20.980 --> 00:44:21.119
 must

00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:45.299
 it's

00:47:45.299 --> 00:47:45.460
 not

00:47:45.460 --> 00:47:45.579
 going

00:47:45.579 --> 00:47:45.599
 to

00:47:45.699 --> 00:47:45.859
 good

00:47:45.859 --> 00:47:46.099

00:47:46.939 --> 00:47:46.939


00:47:46.939 --> 00:47:47.039
 be

00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:47.179
 good

00:47:47.179 --> 00:47:47.419
 because

00:47:47.419 --> 00:47:47.819
 God's

00:47:47.819 --> 00:47:48.059
 word

00:47:48.059 --> 00:47:48.539

00:47:48.539 --> 00:47:48.799
 good

00:47:48.799 --> 00:47:49.039
 so

00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:49.179
 let's
