00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.259
 All right, as we come to the Word of God this morning, we are continuing our way through

00:00:04.259 --> 00:00:06.259
 the second letter to Timothy.

00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:12.160
 So if you have your Bible with you, you can open it up to 2 Timothy, and we are in chapter

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:12.580
 2.

00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.660
 Last Sunday, we covered the first seven verses here of chapter 2.

00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:31.980
 Next Sunday, we're going to work on verse 8 to 13, and we're going to jump ahead this

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:34.859
 Sunday and look at verses 14 to 19.

00:00:38.659 --> 00:00:41.240
 So let me read these verses for us this morning.

00:00:47.179 --> 00:00:48.539
 Paul writes to Timothy,

00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:55.100
 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David.

00:00:56.100 --> 00:01:02.359
 This is my gospel, for which I am suffering, even to the point of being chained like a criminal.

00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.120
 But God's Word is not chained.

00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:12.700
 Therefore, I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:16.640
 salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.439
 Here is a trustworthy saying.

00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:25.019
 If we died with Him, we will also live with Him.

00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:30.640
 If we endure, we will also reign with Him.

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:36.219
 If we disown Him, He will also disown us.

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:44.379
 If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot disown Himself.

00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:48.459
 Keep reminding God's people of these things.

00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.500
 Warn them before God against quarreling about words.

00:01:54.259 --> 00:01:58.079
 It is of no value and only ruins those who listen.

00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:03.879
 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved.

00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:10.620
 A worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:18.800
 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.580
 Their teaching will spread like gangrene.

00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:28.060
 Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have departed from the truth.

00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:31.879
 They say that the resurrection has already taken place.

00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.080
 And they destroy the faith of some.

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.960
 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm.

00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.580
 Sealed with this inscription.

00:02:43.659 --> 00:02:45.920
 The Lord knows those who are His.

00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:53.020
 And everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.

00:02:53.020 --> 00:03:00.960
 Father in heaven, please open our eyes to see what you have said here and give us ears to hear.

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:06.040
 Fill our hearts with faith and help us to respond as you desire.

00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.379
 Pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.560
 We're just going to work through these few verses, 14 to 19, from the top.

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:17.600
 Starting in verse 14.

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:24.680
 Paul urges Timothy to keep reminding the people in his church of the truths of the gospel.

00:03:25.299 --> 00:03:29.620
 Specifically, the ones that are laid out here in verses 8 to 13.

00:03:29.979 --> 00:03:31.620
 And we're going to look at those next Sunday.

00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.599
 But keep reminding God's people of these things.

00:03:35.579 --> 00:03:38.419
 The job of a faithful teacher and preacher

00:03:38.419 --> 00:03:44.219
 is to keep on saying the same things over and over again.

00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:48.419
 It's to tell and to teach what most of us already know.

00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:50.680
 These things.

00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:52.360
 This gospel.

00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:54.379
 These words of God.

00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.180
 Spoken through the prophets.

00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:57.599
 Through Jesus.

00:03:58.199 --> 00:03:59.199
 And through His apostles.

00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:02.719
 There's a lot of other things going on in our world

00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.300
 that we could be talking about on a Sunday morning.

00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:07.840
 Some of the false teachers

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.479
 who Paul spoke of in the first letter to Timothy.

00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.199
 They had gone off into speaking and teaching about other things.

00:04:16.339 --> 00:04:20.839
 But Timothy, you keep on reminding God's people of these things.

00:04:21.139 --> 00:04:22.120
 Of this gospel.

00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:24.939
 Next he says,

00:04:25.939 --> 00:04:26.560
 Warn them.

00:04:26.819 --> 00:04:28.319
 That is, the people in the church.

00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:30.439
 Warn them before God

00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.319
 against quarreling

00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.480
 about words.

00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:36.399
 It is of no value

00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.899
 and only ruins those who listen.

00:04:38.899 --> 00:04:41.379
 Now I know that we've heard this a lot

00:04:41.379 --> 00:04:43.639
 in this journey through the pastoral epistles.

00:04:44.539 --> 00:04:46.279
 These letters to Timothy and Titus.

00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:47.799
 But Paul repeats himself, I think,

00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.239
 because this is a really big issue.

00:04:50.259 --> 00:04:53.279
 It can be so tempting to argue over things.

00:04:54.259 --> 00:04:56.500
 And to get into squabbles,

00:04:57.219 --> 00:04:57.839
 disputes.

00:04:58.739 --> 00:04:59.679
 Here specifically,

00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:01.379
 are it quarreling about words?

00:05:01.739 --> 00:05:02.639
 That word words,

00:05:02.719 --> 00:05:04.579
 it can be used more broadly as well

00:05:04.579 --> 00:05:06.159
 to refer to matters,

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:07.000
 subjects,

00:05:07.339 --> 00:05:07.759
 issues.

00:05:08.919 --> 00:05:11.819
 And it's so easy to get sucked into this sort of behavior.

00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.839
 Most of us want to understand the issues.

00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.539
 We want to come to some sort of an opinion on the issues.

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.319
 And then we want to offer that carefully formed opinion to others.

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.740
 And that's all good.

00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.839
 But then what happens when others don't agree?

00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:32.920
 Are we going to fight over it?

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.060
 Trying to convince them?

00:05:35.599 --> 00:05:37.159
 Are we going to belittle them

00:05:37.159 --> 00:05:38.779
 and their view?

00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:41.959
 Paul's basically saying,

00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:42.920
 don't go there, Timothy.

00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:44.980
 Quarreling,

00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:46.959
 arguing about things

00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.240
 is of no value.

00:05:50.699 --> 00:05:51.980
 It only ruins

00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:53.120
 those who listen.

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.240
 No value.

00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:56.519
 What does that mean?

00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:01.660
 It's a waste of time.

00:06:02.019 --> 00:06:03.379
 It's a waste of energy.

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:04.439
 It's a waste of breath.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:06.180
 Zero good

00:06:06.180 --> 00:06:07.340
 comes from it.

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:09.500
 That's what no value

00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:10.459
 means.

00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:14.379
 In fact,

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:15.819
 even worse,

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:16.379
 he says,

00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:18.519
 arguing about these things

00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:19.439
 ruins

00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:20.899
 those who listen.

00:06:20.899 --> 00:06:23.919
 That word in the original language

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:25.319
 is actually the Greek word

00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.259
 katastrophe,

00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:27.799
 from which we get

00:06:27.799 --> 00:06:29.359
 our English word

00:06:29.359 --> 00:06:30.060
 catastrophe.

00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:32.439
 The point is,

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:33.859
 it utterly spoils,

00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:35.899
 utterly damages,

00:06:36.099 --> 00:06:36.500
 utterly wrecks

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:39.000
 those who listen.

00:06:40.299 --> 00:06:41.639
 And we kind of know this,

00:06:41.719 --> 00:06:42.019
 don't we?

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:43.799
 Fighting over things

00:06:43.799 --> 00:06:44.359
 hurts

00:06:44.359 --> 00:06:45.359
 relationships.

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.439
 Sometimes in those

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:49.280
 kinds of debates

00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:49.860
 and things,

00:06:49.939 --> 00:06:50.939
 we're so worried about

00:06:50.939 --> 00:06:52.180
 winning the argument

00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:53.580
 that are we really

00:06:53.580 --> 00:06:54.939
 representing things well?

00:06:55.060 --> 00:06:55.580
 Are we really

00:06:55.580 --> 00:06:56.540
 speaking the truth?

00:06:56.660 --> 00:06:57.199
 Do we have

00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:58.420
 legit sources

00:06:58.420 --> 00:06:59.080
 that we're

00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:00.080
 drawing from

00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:01.840
 as we share things?

00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:03.240
 And there can be

00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:04.240
 hearsay that enters

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.000
 into the mix

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:05.620
 and gossip

00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:06.480
 and slander

00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:07.240
 and misinformation.

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:09.580
 And it really can

00:07:09.580 --> 00:07:10.879
 skew people's

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.480
 understanding of things

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.500
 or of other people

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:15.120
 and do a lot of damage

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.180
 and a lot of hurt.

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:17.560
 And so what's

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.740
 Timothy supposed to do?

00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:21.779
 He's supposed to warn

00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:22.899
 the people in his church

00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:23.819
 against this kind

00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:24.439
 of behavior.

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:28.319
 In verse 15,

00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:28.980
 Paul says,

00:07:29.819 --> 00:07:30.459
 do your best

00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:31.480
 to present yourself

00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:32.300
 to God

00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:33.600
 as one approved.

00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:35.480
 A worker who does not

00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:36.639
 need to be ashamed

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.360
 and who correctly

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:39.240
 handles the word

00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:39.740
 of truth.

00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:41.839
 And so Paul gives

00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:42.600
 Timothy something

00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:43.540
 to aim for

00:07:43.540 --> 00:07:45.260
 as he goes about

00:07:45.260 --> 00:07:46.200
 his life and ministry

00:07:46.200 --> 00:07:46.920
 there in Ephesus.

00:07:47.460 --> 00:07:48.360
 First and foremost,

00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:48.920
 he says,

00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.420
 aim for God's approval.

00:07:52.620 --> 00:07:53.800
 You want to be approved

00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:55.040
 in his sight.

00:07:55.540 --> 00:07:56.840
 Work and teach

00:07:56.840 --> 00:07:57.520
 and preach

00:07:57.520 --> 00:07:58.820
 to win his approval.

00:08:00.420 --> 00:08:01.980
 As you live before him,

00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:03.320
 you don't want to have

00:08:03.320 --> 00:08:05.020
 any need to be ashamed

00:08:05.020 --> 00:08:06.220
 for the things

00:08:06.220 --> 00:08:06.879
 that you said

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.240
 or the things

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:08.820
 that you did.

00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:11.319
 And very specifically

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:12.379
 here in this passage

00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:13.040
 as it relates

00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:13.639
 to Timothy,

00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:14.800
 you will meet

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:15.680
 with God's approval

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:16.620
 by being one

00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:17.519
 who correctly

00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:18.680
 handles

00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.279
 the word of truth.

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:22.319
 Now this is

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:23.600
 an interesting metaphor

00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:24.759
 to translate here.

00:08:25.980 --> 00:08:27.159
 If we were to do it

00:08:27.159 --> 00:08:28.139
 just straight,

00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:28.500
 literal,

00:08:28.659 --> 00:08:29.199
 it would be

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.000
 to be one

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.059
 who cuts

00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:32.860
 straight

00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:34.500
 the word of truth.

00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:37.580
 And it's often

00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:39.220
 this phrase

00:08:39.220 --> 00:08:40.299
 used with reference

00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:41.840
 to like a physical path.

00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:43.080
 Meaning to,

00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:43.700
 you know,

00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:44.980
 to clear everything out,

00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:46.259
 to cut a straight path

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:47.100
 whether it's through

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:48.019
 the forest

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:49.559
 or through the hill

00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:50.159
 or whatever,

00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:51.200
 through some brush.

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:52.360
 Instead of going

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.440
 around the tree,

00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:54.720
 cut it down,

00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:55.860
 go straight through.

00:08:57.500 --> 00:08:58.379
 So that's

00:08:58.379 --> 00:08:59.899
 the physical image

00:08:59.899 --> 00:09:00.659
 that Paul is

00:09:00.659 --> 00:09:01.860
 using here.

00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:04.580
 and he's using it

00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:05.419
 about how Timothy

00:09:05.419 --> 00:09:06.120
 should teach

00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:07.100
 the word of God.

00:09:08.460 --> 00:09:09.419
 Cut straight

00:09:09.419 --> 00:09:10.340
 the word of truth

00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:11.340
 which probably means

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:11.899
 something like

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:12.879
 in your teaching,

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:13.600
 Timothy,

00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:15.580
 don't be turned aside

00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:17.539
 to these other debates

00:09:17.539 --> 00:09:18.779
 and these other arguments

00:09:18.779 --> 00:09:19.600
 and issues

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:20.879
 and controversies.

00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:23.139
 Stay on course.

00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:24.840
 Stay on target.

00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:27.200
 Teach the word of truth.

00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:28.340
 You have a goal here

00:09:28.340 --> 00:09:29.240
 and it's to get

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:30.240
 this good deposit

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.159
 that I've entrusted

00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:31.720
 to you

00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.360
 to your people.

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:35.300
 Passed on to them.

00:09:35.500 --> 00:09:36.220
 So teach it.

00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:37.580
 Preach it straight.

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:39.420
 Stay focused

00:09:39.420 --> 00:09:40.220
 on that goal

00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:41.320
 even if there are

00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:42.680
 challenging circumstances

00:09:42.680 --> 00:09:43.420
 going on

00:09:43.420 --> 00:09:44.480
 which we know there are

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:45.759
 or challenging people

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:46.300
 in the way

00:09:46.300 --> 00:09:48.259
 which we'll hear about

00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:48.740
 in a moment.

00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:50.540
 And so this is how

00:09:50.540 --> 00:09:51.620
 you're to present yourself

00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:52.080
 to God

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:52.680
 as a worker

00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:53.800
 who meets his approval

00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:55.540
 and who does not

00:09:55.540 --> 00:09:56.440
 need to be ashamed.

00:09:57.100 --> 00:09:58.399
 Teach the word of truth

00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.639
 and shoot straight.

00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:01.779
 don't just tell the people

00:10:01.779 --> 00:10:03.519
 what they want to hear

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:04.159
 in order to win

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:04.899
 their approval

00:10:04.899 --> 00:10:06.279
 but tell them

00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:07.500
 this word of truth

00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:08.240
 that we've received

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:08.699
 from God

00:10:08.699 --> 00:10:09.500
 in order to get

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:10.799
 his approval.

00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:13.580
 These are good words

00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:14.279
 for those of us

00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:15.299
 who teach in the church.

00:10:16.199 --> 00:10:17.600
 They help us understand

00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:18.600
 what our aim should be.

00:10:19.779 --> 00:10:21.059
 It's not to entertain.

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:22.980
 It's not to scratch

00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:23.819
 the itching ears

00:10:23.819 --> 00:10:24.559
 or to tell people

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:25.559
 what they want to hear.

00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.439
 it's to pass on

00:10:27.439 --> 00:10:28.579
 this good deposit

00:10:28.579 --> 00:10:30.479
 this gospel

00:10:30.479 --> 00:10:32.539
 that we've received

00:10:32.539 --> 00:10:33.099
 from God

00:10:33.099 --> 00:10:34.619
 to put the words

00:10:34.619 --> 00:10:35.000
 of God

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:35.799
 before people.

00:10:37.779 --> 00:10:38.659
 I think though

00:10:38.659 --> 00:10:39.439
 that these words

00:10:39.439 --> 00:10:40.419
 are also helpful

00:10:40.419 --> 00:10:41.379
 for all of us

00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:43.139
 as we aim to speak

00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:44.139
 about Jesus

00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:45.339
 to others.

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:48.000
 Those who don't know Christ

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.979
 those who don't believe

00:10:48.979 --> 00:10:50.279
 maybe our unsaved

00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:51.379
 co-workers

00:10:51.379 --> 00:10:52.099
 neighbors

00:10:52.099 --> 00:10:53.039
 friends

00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:53.739
 family

00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:55.600
 and sometimes

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.320
 we can get

00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:56.960
 all tied up

00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:57.440
 by this

00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:58.200
 thought

00:10:58.200 --> 00:10:58.820
 that we have

00:10:58.820 --> 00:10:59.840
 to be so careful

00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:00.519
 in the way

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:01.259
 that we speak

00:11:01.259 --> 00:11:01.980
 about Jesus

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:03.360
 that we don't

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:04.240
 offend anybody

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.820
 that we don't

00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:06.720
 rub anybody

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:07.560
 the wrong way

00:11:07.560 --> 00:11:10.299
 but that's just

00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:11.000
 people pleasing

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.419
 that's trying

00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:14.360
 to win the approval

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:14.980
 of men

00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:18.139
 of man

00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:19.799
 Jesus wants us

00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:20.779
 to shoot straight

00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:21.799
 with people

00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:22.519
 about him

00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.039
 we have

00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:24.819
 the truth

00:11:24.819 --> 00:11:25.340
 from God

00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:26.720
 cut it straight

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.340
 tell the people

00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:29.579
 the good news

00:11:29.579 --> 00:11:30.799
 ask the question

00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.279
 that cuts to the heart

00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:33.620
 and tell of the hope

00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:34.559
 that we have in Jesus

00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:35.659
 look for the approval

00:11:35.659 --> 00:11:36.620
 of the Lord Jesus

00:11:36.620 --> 00:11:37.100
 himself

00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:38.079
 on that day

00:11:38.079 --> 00:11:39.039
 that's coming

00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:40.919
 in all your speaking

00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.199
 and sharing

00:11:42.199 --> 00:11:43.000
 with others

00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:43.819
 about Jesus

00:11:43.819 --> 00:11:48.379
 verse 16

00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:48.960
 he says

00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.319
 avoid godless chatter

00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.320
 chatter

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:51.760
 because those

00:11:51.760 --> 00:11:52.640
 who indulge in it

00:11:52.640 --> 00:11:53.520
 will become more

00:11:53.520 --> 00:11:54.700
 and more ungodly

00:11:54.700 --> 00:11:55.980
 their teaching

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:56.700
 will spread like

00:11:56.700 --> 00:11:57.320
 gangrene

00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:58.800
 among them

00:11:58.800 --> 00:11:59.680
 are Hymenaeus

00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:00.960
 and Philetus

00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.460
 who have departed

00:12:02.460 --> 00:12:03.180
 from the truth

00:12:03.180 --> 00:12:04.879
 they say

00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.720
 that the resurrection

00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:06.720
 has already

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:07.600
 taken place

00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.420
 and they destroy

00:12:09.420 --> 00:12:10.040
 the faith

00:12:10.040 --> 00:12:10.840
 of some

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.940
 so avoid

00:12:13.940 --> 00:12:14.860
 godless chatter

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:15.420
 he says

00:12:15.420 --> 00:12:16.500
 what is godless

00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:16.920
 chatter

00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.659
 the ESV

00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:20.699
 translates this

00:12:20.699 --> 00:12:21.860
 as irreverent

00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:22.539
 babble

00:12:22.539 --> 00:12:24.159
 and there's really

00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:25.019
 two ideas

00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:26.500
 in this phrase

00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:28.159
 first

00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:29.319
 Paul seems

00:12:29.319 --> 00:12:30.279
 to be characterizing

00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:31.259
 the kind of talk

00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:32.379
 or the kind of teaching

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:34.219
 as a kind

00:12:34.219 --> 00:12:35.559
 that is empty

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.519
 or worthless

00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.979
 now probably

00:12:38.979 --> 00:12:39.740
 the people doing

00:12:39.740 --> 00:12:40.699
 these kinds of teaching

00:12:40.699 --> 00:12:41.240
 or talk

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:42.819
 see it as being

00:12:42.819 --> 00:12:43.919
 valuable

00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.899
 but Paul

00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:46.740
 characterizes it

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:47.699
 as just chatter

00:12:47.699 --> 00:12:48.899
 it's just babble

00:12:48.899 --> 00:12:49.959
 it has no

00:12:49.959 --> 00:12:50.879
 value

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.899
 and the second

00:12:53.899 --> 00:12:55.399
 idea

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:56.500
 that's in this phrase

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.199
 is that it's

00:12:58.199 --> 00:12:59.099
 godless chatter

00:12:59.099 --> 00:13:00.919
 or as some

00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:01.699
 translations say

00:13:01.699 --> 00:13:02.500
 irreverent

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:02.959
 chatter

00:13:02.959 --> 00:13:06.579
 and this word

00:13:06.579 --> 00:13:07.199
 can mean

00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:07.899
 a couple of things

00:13:07.899 --> 00:13:08.319
 it could be

00:13:08.319 --> 00:13:09.439
 that the talk

00:13:09.439 --> 00:13:10.039
 or the teaching

00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:11.159
 is devoid of God

00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:11.799
 that it really

00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:12.620
 doesn't have anything

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:13.539
 to do with spiritual

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:13.960
 things

00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:14.679
 it's worldly

00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:16.039
 secular

00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:17.399
 or

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:18.860
 it could also mean

00:13:18.860 --> 00:13:20.340
 even stronger than that

00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:21.320
 that it's profane

00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.500
 that it's irreverent

00:13:23.500 --> 00:13:25.259
 that it mocks

00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:27.019
 or makes light

00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:28.100
 of spiritual things

00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:28.980
 it jokes about

00:13:28.980 --> 00:13:30.480
 serious spiritual truths

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:30.980
 or it just

00:13:30.980 --> 00:13:31.940
 dishonors God

00:13:31.940 --> 00:13:33.440
 by misrepresenting

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.080
 him

00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:35.500
 and his word

00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:38.060
 and verse 17

00:13:38.060 --> 00:13:38.560
 to 18

00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:39.320
 is kind of

00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:40.419
 this living example

00:13:40.419 --> 00:13:41.000
 of this

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.180
 that's right before

00:13:42.179 --> 00:13:43.500
 Timothy

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:47.259
 Paul gives the example

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:48.419
 of Hymenaeus

00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:48.979
 and Philetus

00:13:48.979 --> 00:13:49.399
 he says

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:50.079
 their teaching

00:13:50.079 --> 00:13:50.919
 will spread

00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.319
 like gangrene

00:13:52.319 --> 00:13:53.399
 among them

00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:54.299
 are Hymenaeus

00:13:54.299 --> 00:13:55.000
 and Philetus

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:55.979
 who have departed

00:13:55.979 --> 00:13:57.799
 from the truth

00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.239
 Paul names

00:14:00.239 --> 00:14:01.099
 two men here

00:14:01.099 --> 00:14:02.199
 and Timothy

00:14:02.199 --> 00:14:03.179
 knows these men

00:14:03.179 --> 00:14:06.019
 and they're

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:07.240
 the example

00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:08.019
 of what he means

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:09.099
 by this irreverent

00:14:09.099 --> 00:14:09.659
 chatter

00:14:09.659 --> 00:14:11.899
 the only other

00:14:11.899 --> 00:14:12.559
 mention of

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.500
 Hymenaeus

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:14.100
 in the Bible

00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:15.000
 actually was in

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:15.860
 Paul's first letter

00:14:15.860 --> 00:14:16.860
 he talked about

00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:17.879
 how he had handed

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:18.500
 over

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:19.719
 Hymenaeus

00:14:19.719 --> 00:14:21.319
 and Alexander

00:14:21.319 --> 00:14:22.699
 to Satan

00:14:22.699 --> 00:14:23.419
 to be taught

00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:24.459
 not to blaspheme

00:14:24.459 --> 00:14:27.299
 and so definitely

00:14:27.299 --> 00:14:27.959
 we're probably

00:14:27.959 --> 00:14:29.059
 in the irreverent

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:30.299
 side of things

00:14:30.299 --> 00:14:30.919
 when it comes to

00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:31.339
 the way that

00:14:31.339 --> 00:14:31.919
 they're talking

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:32.600
 or teaching

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.319
 Philetus

00:14:35.319 --> 00:14:36.159
 on the other hand

00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:37.059
 this is the only

00:14:37.059 --> 00:14:37.899
 time he's mentioned

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:38.740
 in the whole Bible

00:14:38.740 --> 00:14:39.740
 so we really

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:40.480
 don't know much

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:41.240
 about these two

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:41.759
 other than

00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:42.539
 what Paul says

00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:43.620
 in these two spots

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:47.019
 but Paul says

00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:47.919
 that their words

00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:48.699
 have spread

00:14:48.699 --> 00:14:49.799
 like gangrene

00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:51.480
 according to

00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:52.079
 one scholar

00:14:52.079 --> 00:14:52.759
 the disease

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.539
 that's described

00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:54.879
 here involves

00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.319
 severe inflammation

00:14:56.319 --> 00:14:57.759
 which if left

00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.740
 unchecked

00:14:58.740 --> 00:14:59.559
 could become

00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:00.439
 a destructive

00:15:00.439 --> 00:15:02.000
 ulcerous

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:02.960
 condition

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:04.659
 and so the

00:15:04.659 --> 00:15:05.340
 emphasis here

00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:05.939
 seems to be

00:15:05.939 --> 00:15:06.720
 on the slow

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:07.660
 eating away

00:15:07.660 --> 00:15:09.180
 of the flesh

00:15:09.180 --> 00:15:10.399
 rather than

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:10.960
 a rapidly

00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:11.480
 spreading

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:12.060
 infection

00:15:12.060 --> 00:15:14.920
 so their

00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:15.399
 talk

00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:16.620
 the things

00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:16.960
 that they're

00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:17.420
 saying

00:15:17.420 --> 00:15:19.120
 it's slowly

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:19.680
 spreading

00:15:19.680 --> 00:15:20.800
 and it's

00:15:20.800 --> 00:15:21.779
 doing damage

00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:22.980
 amongst the

00:15:22.980 --> 00:15:23.460
 churches

00:15:23.460 --> 00:15:25.180
 Paul says

00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:25.700
 that these

00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:26.440
 two have

00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:27.040
 departed

00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:28.139
 from the

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:28.519
 truth

00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.019
 some of the

00:15:30.019 --> 00:15:30.399
 things that

00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:31.360
 they're advocating

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.040
 are falsehood

00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:34.639
 and Paul gives

00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.219
 an example

00:15:35.219 --> 00:15:35.899
 right here

00:15:35.899 --> 00:15:36.799
 in the letter

00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:37.679
 in verse 18

00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:38.839
 he says

00:15:38.839 --> 00:15:40.139
 they say

00:15:40.139 --> 00:15:40.519
 that the

00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:41.059
 resurrection

00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:41.699
 has already

00:15:41.699 --> 00:15:42.579
 taken place

00:15:42.579 --> 00:15:46.279
 so these

00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:46.679
 are not

00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:47.059
 men that

00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:47.579
 are straight

00:15:47.579 --> 00:15:48.139
 up denying

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:48.559
 Jesus

00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:49.099
 and saying

00:15:49.099 --> 00:15:49.459
 there is

00:15:49.459 --> 00:15:49.980
 no God

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:50.379
 well they're

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:51.079
 saying yes

00:15:51.079 --> 00:15:51.539
 we believe

00:15:51.539 --> 00:15:52.059
 in Jesus

00:15:52.059 --> 00:15:52.740
 but

00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:54.079
 here's some

00:15:54.079 --> 00:15:54.599
 other stuff

00:15:54.599 --> 00:15:55.379
 that we also

00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:56.259
 believe

00:15:56.259 --> 00:15:56.839
 they're adding

00:15:56.839 --> 00:15:57.439
 some things

00:15:57.439 --> 00:15:57.939
 on

00:15:57.940 --> 00:16:00.720
 where they

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.220
 got this

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:01.720
 idea that

00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:02.300
 the resurrection

00:16:02.300 --> 00:16:02.840
 had taken

00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:03.240
 place

00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:03.640
 we don't

00:16:03.640 --> 00:16:03.940
 know

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:04.560
 the

00:16:04.560 --> 00:16:05.100
 resurrection

00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:05.780
 that's the

00:16:05.780 --> 00:16:06.740
 great event

00:16:06.740 --> 00:16:07.300
 that all of

00:16:07.300 --> 00:16:08.380
 us believers

00:16:08.380 --> 00:16:09.360
 are looking

00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:10.040
 forward to

00:16:10.040 --> 00:16:10.580
 that's the

00:16:10.580 --> 00:16:11.120
 moment that

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:11.820
 Paul describes

00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:12.480
 in his first

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.000
 letter to the

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:13.400
 Corinthians

00:16:13.400 --> 00:16:14.440
 where the

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:15.380
 trumpet will

00:16:15.380 --> 00:16:15.840
 sound

00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:17.400
 and all who

00:16:17.400 --> 00:16:17.980
 are dead

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:19.220
 but belong

00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:19.820
 to Jesus

00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:20.660
 will be

00:16:20.660 --> 00:16:21.300
 resurrected

00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:21.800
 to new

00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:22.200
 life

00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:22.640
 and a new

00:16:22.640 --> 00:16:23.100
 body

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:24.640
 never to die

00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:24.980
 again

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.580
 and never to

00:16:25.580 --> 00:16:26.300
 become corrupt

00:16:26.300 --> 00:16:26.780
 again

00:16:26.779 --> 00:16:29.179
 Paul says

00:16:29.179 --> 00:16:30.059
 these guys

00:16:30.059 --> 00:16:31.299
 are claiming

00:16:31.299 --> 00:16:31.799
 that that's

00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:32.600
 already happened

00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.419
 and we have

00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:35.839
 to wonder

00:16:35.839 --> 00:16:36.319
 was it

00:16:36.319 --> 00:16:37.399
 were they

00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:37.939
 just saying

00:16:37.939 --> 00:16:38.539
 that well

00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:38.899
 no it's

00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:39.259
 just a

00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:39.600
 spiritual

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:40.159
 reality

00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:40.720
 that somehow

00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:41.139
 it just

00:16:41.139 --> 00:16:41.539
 happened

00:16:41.539 --> 00:16:41.959
 already

00:16:41.959 --> 00:16:42.720
 inside of

00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:43.039
 us

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.079
 or were

00:16:45.079 --> 00:16:45.659
 they actually

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:46.279
 claiming that

00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:46.679
 they weren't

00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:46.939
 going to

00:16:46.939 --> 00:16:47.159
 die

00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:47.759
 we don't

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:48.220
 again we

00:16:48.220 --> 00:16:48.620
 don't know

00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:49.279
 the details

00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:49.639
 here

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:50.279
 but Paul

00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:50.659
 makes it

00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:51.179
 so clear

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:51.539
 in the way

00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:51.799
 that he

00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:52.259
 says this

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:52.720
 that this

00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:53.000
 is a

00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:53.179
 bunch

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:53.339
 of

00:16:53.339 --> 00:16:53.759
 baloney

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.319
 the

00:16:56.319 --> 00:16:56.759
 resurrection

00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:57.240
 that we're

00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:57.980
 waiting for

00:16:57.980 --> 00:16:58.659
 hasn't

00:16:58.659 --> 00:16:59.019
 happened

00:16:59.019 --> 00:16:59.460
 yet

00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:01.799
 and sadly

00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:03.539
 some were

00:17:03.539 --> 00:17:04.059
 buying into

00:17:04.059 --> 00:17:04.779
 these things

00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:06.500
 Paul says

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:07.940
 they destroy

00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:08.539
 the faith

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:09.000
 of some

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.500
 with this

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:09.920
 teaching

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.640
 again a

00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:13.339
 very strong

00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:13.640
 word

00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:14.220
 destroy

00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:15.879
 the faith

00:17:15.879 --> 00:17:16.599
 of some

00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.799
 so this

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:20.059
 is the

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:20.519
 effect of

00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:20.740
 this

00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:21.579
 godless

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:22.019
 chatter

00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:22.900
 this profane

00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:24.039
 chatter

00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:24.399
 it

00:17:24.399 --> 00:17:24.420
 it

00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:24.819
 it

00:17:24.819 --> 00:17:25.339
 doesn't

00:17:25.339 --> 00:17:25.960
 indeed

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:26.379
 have

00:17:26.379 --> 00:17:26.559
 an

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:26.940
 emptiness

00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:27.480
 to it

00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:27.920
 because

00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:28.659
 it's

00:17:28.659 --> 00:17:28.879
 not

00:17:28.879 --> 00:17:29.279
 true

00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:30.599
 but it

00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:30.839
 also

00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:31.119
 has

00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:31.240
 an

00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:31.859
 irreverence

00:17:31.859 --> 00:17:32.220
 to it

00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:32.480
 in that

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:32.680
 it

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.539
 proclaims

00:17:33.539 --> 00:17:34.240
 this

00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:35.119
 false

00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:36.500
 idea

00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:36.980
 as if

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:37.159
 it

00:17:37.159 --> 00:17:37.519
 were

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.159
 spiritual

00:17:38.159 --> 00:17:38.559
 truth

00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:38.799
 from

00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:39.159
 god

00:17:39.159 --> 00:17:40.279
 it

00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:40.500
 makes

00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:40.659
 a

00:17:40.659 --> 00:17:41.139
 mockery

00:17:41.139 --> 00:17:41.420
 of

00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:41.619
 the

00:17:41.619 --> 00:17:41.980
 real

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:42.500
 thing

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:42.659
 that

00:17:42.659 --> 00:17:42.819
 we're

00:17:42.819 --> 00:17:43.159
 hoping

00:17:43.159 --> 00:17:43.359
 in

00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:43.519
 the

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.039
 resurrection

00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:44.700
 by

00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:44.980
 saying

00:17:44.980 --> 00:17:45.139
 oh

00:17:45.139 --> 00:17:45.339
 it's

00:17:45.339 --> 00:17:45.559
 already

00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:45.960
 happened

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:46.220
 it's

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:46.440
 already

00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:46.879
 here

00:17:46.879 --> 00:17:48.759
 and so

00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:49.139
 in this

00:17:49.139 --> 00:17:49.480
 case

00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:49.659
 with

00:17:49.659 --> 00:17:49.859
 these

00:17:49.859 --> 00:17:50.059
 two

00:17:50.059 --> 00:17:50.259
 men

00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:50.440
 it's

00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:50.639
 kind

00:17:50.639 --> 00:17:50.720
 of

00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:50.879
 this

00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:51.359
 wonky

00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:51.740
 blend

00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:54.079
 some

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:54.240
 of

00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:54.379
 the

00:17:54.379 --> 00:17:54.639
 truth

00:17:54.639 --> 00:17:54.819
 of

00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:55.240
 Christ

00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:55.779
 but

00:17:55.779 --> 00:17:55.980
 then

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:56.379
 adding

00:17:56.379 --> 00:17:56.779
 on

00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:57.039
 these

00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:57.359
 other

00:17:57.359 --> 00:17:57.940
 things

00:17:57.940 --> 00:17:58.859
 and

00:17:58.859 --> 00:17:59.259
 declaring

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.639
 those

00:17:59.639 --> 00:18:00.019
 things

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:00.379
 to be

00:18:00.379 --> 00:18:00.700
 true

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:01.039
 without

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.399
 any

00:18:01.399 --> 00:18:01.680
 real

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:02.220
 basis

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:03.200
 and

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:03.379
 it's

00:18:03.379 --> 00:18:03.599
 having

00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:03.799
 a

00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:04.119
 terrible

00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:04.559
 effect

00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:04.720
 on

00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:04.839
 the

00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:05.139
 people

00:18:05.139 --> 00:18:05.379
 who

00:18:05.379 --> 00:18:05.799
 hear

00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:06.599
 and

00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:06.740
 are

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:07.039
 listening

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.240
 to

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:07.500
 these

00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:07.759
 things

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.000
 some

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.259
 people

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:08.399
 are

00:18:08.399 --> 00:18:08.619
 getting

00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:08.920
 sucked

00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:09.240
 into

00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:09.519
 it

00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:11.240
 and

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:11.440
 it's

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:11.759
 hurting

00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:11.960
 the

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:12.339
 credibility

00:18:12.339 --> 00:18:12.859
 of the

00:18:12.859 --> 00:18:13.200
 message

00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:13.539
 about

00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:13.960
 Christ

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:14.259
 it's

00:18:14.259 --> 00:18:14.859
 distorting

00:18:14.859 --> 00:18:15.139
 things

00:18:15.139 --> 00:18:15.359
 it's

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:15.839
 confusing

00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:16.500
 things

00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:17.779
 Paul

00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:18.000
 says

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.420
 avoid

00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:18.700
 that

00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:18.980
 kind

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:19.099
 of

00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:19.460
 talk

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:20.899
 and

00:18:20.899 --> 00:18:21.099
 those

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:21.379
 kind

00:18:21.379 --> 00:18:21.519
 of

00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:21.919
 teachers

00:18:21.919 --> 00:18:24.240
 who

00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:24.379
 would

00:18:24.379 --> 00:18:24.500
 be

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:24.699
 the

00:18:24.699 --> 00:18:25.000
 modern

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:25.339
 day

00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:25.959
 equivalent

00:18:25.959 --> 00:18:26.939
 of

00:18:26.939 --> 00:18:27.199
 these

00:18:27.199 --> 00:18:27.579
 guys

00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:29.359
 I

00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:29.539
 think

00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:29.719
 the

00:18:29.719 --> 00:18:29.980
 key

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:30.339
 marker

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:30.599
 here

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:30.879
 seems

00:18:30.879 --> 00:18:31.179
 to be

00:18:31.179 --> 00:18:31.539
 people

00:18:31.539 --> 00:18:31.740
 that

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:31.879
 are

00:18:31.879 --> 00:18:32.539
 proclaiming

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:32.980
 Jesus

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:34.419
 plus

00:18:34.419 --> 00:18:35.779
 something

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.259
 else

00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:38.539
 maybe

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:38.779
 it's

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:39.279
 Jesus

00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.279
 plus

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:41.419
 the

00:18:41.419 --> 00:18:41.659
 earth

00:18:41.659 --> 00:18:41.839
 is

00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:42.219
 flat

00:18:42.219 --> 00:18:43.480
 or

00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:44.039
 Jesus

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:44.959
 plus

00:18:44.959 --> 00:18:45.639
 you

00:18:45.639 --> 00:18:45.799
 need

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:45.939
 to

00:18:45.939 --> 00:18:46.119
 have

00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:46.519
 had

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:46.799
 this

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:47.399
 special

00:18:47.399 --> 00:18:48.019
 kind

00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:48.139
 of

00:18:48.139 --> 00:18:48.779
 experience

00:18:48.779 --> 00:18:49.299
 or

00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:49.559
 go

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:49.779
 through

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:50.019
 this

00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:50.379
 rite

00:18:50.379 --> 00:18:50.599

 Jesus

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.039
 plus

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.579
 getting

00:18:53.579 --> 00:18:53.879
 back

00:18:53.879 --> 00:18:54.039

 teachings

00:18:54.679 --> 00:18:54.940
 of

00:18:54.940 --> 00:18:55.399
 certain

00:18:55.399 --> 00:18:56.519
 rabbis

00:18:57.419 --> 00:18:57.839
 plus

 historical

00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:01.480
 digging

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:02.259
 done

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:02.839
 that shows

00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:03.460
 that every

00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:04.659
 Bible

00:19:04.659 --> 00:19:05.259
 has already

00:19:05.259 --> 00:19:05.519
 been

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:06.019
 fulfilled

00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.639

00:19:14.879 --> 00:19:15.319
 times

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:16.019
 with these

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:16.220
 kind

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:16.339
 of

00:19:16.339 --> 00:19:16.659
 teachers

00:19:16.659 --> 00:19:17.000
 you can

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:17.200
 kind

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:17.319
 of

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:17.579
 sense

00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:17.759
 that

00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:18.059
 something

00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:18.299
 is

00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:18.679
 off

00:19:18.679 --> 00:19:19.759
 because

00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:20.159
 Jesus

00:19:20.159 --> 00:19:20.480
 seems

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:20.759
 to be

00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:20.940
 the

00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:21.220
 name

00:19:21.220 --> 00:19:21.500
 that's

00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:21.940
 used

00:19:21.940 --> 00:19:22.420
 to

00:19:22.420 --> 00:19:22.640
 really

00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:22.960
 draw

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:23.440
 people's

00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:23.880
 attention

00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.039
 but then

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:26.720
 very quickly

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.700
 the focus

00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:28.960
 the main

00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:29.299
 message

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:29.860
 goes away

00:19:29.860 --> 00:19:30.440
 from Jesus

00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:31.220
 to these

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:31.799
 other things

00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:32.400
 these side

00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:32.900
 things

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:34.539
 the Bible

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:35.200
 becomes more

00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:36.019
 of a springboard

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:36.680
 or a starting

00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:37.140
 place

00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:38.500
 and it

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:39.120
 gets us

00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:40.039
 hooked in

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:40.440
 and then we

00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:40.860
 go over

00:19:40.860 --> 00:19:41.339
 to here

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:41.599
 and we

00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:42.099
 talk about

00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:42.680
 this other

00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:43.259
 thing that's

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:43.680
 not in

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.140
 the Bible

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:46.120
 or maybe

00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:46.579
 the Bible

00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:46.980
 is part

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:47.319
 of it

00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:48.659
 but then

00:19:48.659 --> 00:19:48.839
 it's

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.339
 interpreted

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:49.879
 in some

00:19:49.879 --> 00:19:50.099
 way

00:19:50.099 --> 00:19:50.439
 that's

00:19:50.439 --> 00:19:50.960
 wonky

00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:52.379
 I mean

00:19:52.379 --> 00:19:52.559
 you'd

00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:52.799
 have to

00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:53.200
 not even

00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:53.639
 be really

00:19:53.639 --> 00:19:54.240
 reading it

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:54.960
 in context

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:55.579
 and thinking

00:19:55.579 --> 00:19:56.059
 about it

00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:56.679
 to kind

00:19:56.679 --> 00:19:57.159
 of twist

00:19:57.159 --> 00:19:57.460
 it and

00:19:57.460 --> 00:19:57.740
 get it

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:58.259
 to say

00:19:58.259 --> 00:19:59.179
 that

00:19:59.179 --> 00:20:01.539
 I went

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:01.799
 to a

00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:02.039
 global

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:02.399
 missions

00:20:02.399 --> 00:20:02.799
 conference

00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:03.379
 one time

00:20:03.379 --> 00:20:04.259
 and I

00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:04.539
 remember

00:20:04.539 --> 00:20:04.819
 hearing

00:20:04.819 --> 00:20:05.019
 this

00:20:05.019 --> 00:20:05.279
 very

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:05.759
 charismatic

00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:06.799
 and

00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.339
 interesting

00:20:07.339 --> 00:20:07.879
 speaker

00:20:07.879 --> 00:20:09.579
 but it

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:09.859
 seemed

00:20:09.859 --> 00:20:10.179
 that he

00:20:10.179 --> 00:20:10.759
 was more

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:11.339
 interested

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:12.740
 in God's

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.179
 redemption

00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:14.820
 of creation

00:20:14.820 --> 00:20:16.480
 and

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:17.700
 environmentalism

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:19.720
 than God's

00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:20.060
 redemption

00:20:20.060 --> 00:20:20.880
 of you

00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:21.240
 and me

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.519
 he was

00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:23.860
 almost

00:20:23.860 --> 00:20:24.380
 trying to

00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:24.660
 turn

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:25.560
 conservation

00:20:25.560 --> 00:20:26.019
 and

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:27.080
 environmentalism

00:20:27.080 --> 00:20:27.620
 into a

00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:28.160
 form of

00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:28.539
 missionary

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:29.160
 work

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:30.900
 and it

00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:31.200
 was like

00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:31.400
 he was

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:31.740
 trying to

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.080
 recruit

00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:32.640
 for that

00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:33.420
 like we

00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:33.700
 need to

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:34.080
 go out

00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:34.259
 there

00:20:34.259 --> 00:20:34.560
 we need

00:20:34.560 --> 00:20:34.820
 to get

00:20:34.820 --> 00:20:35.259
 the good

00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:35.500
 news

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:36.100
 out there

00:20:36.100 --> 00:20:36.660
 for

00:20:36.660 --> 00:20:37.340
 creation

00:20:37.340 --> 00:20:39.039
 we need

00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:39.420
 to help

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:39.740
 God

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.080
 in his

00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:40.560
 redemption

00:20:40.560 --> 00:20:41.060
 of this

00:20:41.060 --> 00:20:41.799
 and stand

00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:42.160
 up

00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:42.400
 to

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:43.720
 industry

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:44.400
 or different

00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:44.900
 things like

00:20:44.900 --> 00:20:45.300
 this

00:20:45.300 --> 00:20:47.420
 again

00:20:47.420 --> 00:20:48.160
 Jesus

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.400
 but then

00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:49.960
 this main

00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:50.519
 thing is

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:51.060
 really over

00:20:51.060 --> 00:20:51.580
 here for

00:20:51.580 --> 00:20:51.880
 them

00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:53.040
 another

00:20:53.040 --> 00:20:53.519
 example

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:53.940
 of this

00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:54.180
 in

00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:55.620
 just this

00:20:55.620 --> 00:20:55.960
 week

00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:56.380
 I don't

00:20:56.380 --> 00:20:56.640
 know how

00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:56.920
 many of

00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:57.180
 you got

00:20:57.180 --> 00:20:57.460
 one of

00:20:57.460 --> 00:20:57.720
 these

00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:58.040
 in your

00:20:58.040 --> 00:20:58.380
 mailbox

00:20:58.380 --> 00:20:59.920
 I think

00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:00.200
 they did

00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:00.519
 a mail

00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:00.820
 drop

00:21:00.820 --> 00:21:01.160
 here in

00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:01.540
 Davidson

00:21:01.540 --> 00:21:01.800
 and

00:21:01.800 --> 00:21:02.180
 everybody

00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:02.680
 with a

00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:03.120
 residential

00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:03.620
 mailbox

00:21:03.620 --> 00:21:04.259
 subscribed

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:04.860
 to

00:21:04.860 --> 00:21:05.740
 getting

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:06.360
 the flyers

00:21:06.360 --> 00:21:06.780
 got one

00:21:06.780 --> 00:21:07.220
 of these

00:21:07.220 --> 00:21:07.700
 the great

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.400
 controversy

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:09.400
 will

00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:09.680
 two

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:10.120
 former

00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:10.540
 rivals

00:21:10.540 --> 00:21:10.980
 unite

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:11.280
 and you

00:21:11.280 --> 00:21:11.560
 got the

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.000
 American

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:12.500
 flag

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:12.839
 at the

00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:13.200
 top

00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.659
 the

00:21:13.659 --> 00:21:13.879
 white

00:21:13.879 --> 00:21:14.240
 house

00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:14.659
 and the

00:21:14.659 --> 00:21:15.179
 flag of

00:21:15.179 --> 00:21:15.319
 the

00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:15.679
 catholic

00:21:15.679 --> 00:21:16.019
 church

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:16.379
 I think

00:21:16.379 --> 00:21:16.879
 that is

00:21:16.879 --> 00:21:18.059
 on there

00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:18.799
 and if

00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:18.980
 you were

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:19.339
 like me

00:21:19.339 --> 00:21:19.720
 you probably

00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:20.339
 wonder what

00:21:20.339 --> 00:21:20.759
 on earth

00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.339
 is this

00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:22.799
 what is

00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.279
 this book

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:23.619
 and it's

00:21:23.619 --> 00:21:24.339
 published by

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:25.700
 amazing

00:21:26.879 --> 00:21:28.240
 dot com

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.099
 you flip

00:21:29.099 --> 00:21:29.519
 through it

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:29.980
 it's full

00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:30.379
 of bible

00:21:30.379 --> 00:21:30.799
 verses

00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:32.879
 could be

00:21:32.879 --> 00:21:33.299
 some really

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:33.899
 good stuff

00:21:33.899 --> 00:21:34.399
 maybe

00:21:34.399 --> 00:21:37.000
 but if you

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.539
 dig deeper

00:21:37.539 --> 00:21:38.039
 into it

00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:38.319
 what do

00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:38.779
 you find

00:21:38.779 --> 00:21:39.859
 you find

00:21:39.859 --> 00:21:40.119
 that it

00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:40.500
 was written

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:45.740
 a follower

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.299

00:21:49.339 --> 00:21:49.639
 preacher

00:21:49.639 --> 00:21:50.619
 who predicted

00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:51.319
 that Christ

00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:51.819
 would return

00:21:51.819 --> 00:21:52.940

00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:57.139
 and then

00:21:57.139 --> 00:21:57.480
 when his

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:57.839
 prediction

00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:58.339
 didn't come

00:21:58.339 --> 00:21:58.660
 true

00:21:58.660 --> 00:21:59.160
 most of

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:13.259

00:22:15.259 --> 00:22:15.839
 later married

00:22:24.399 --> 00:22:25.220

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:38.559
 this is

00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:38.839
 what we

00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:39.079
 got to

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:42.799
 like

00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:42.980
 they

00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:43.200
 did

00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:45.839
 suddenly

00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:46.279
 that was

00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:46.660
 the main

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:47.059
 message

00:22:47.059 --> 00:22:47.960
 and man

 what God

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:53.920
 had

00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:54.480
 supposedly

00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.180
 told her

00:22:55.180 --> 00:22:55.339
 in

 she

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:08.359
 was

00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:08.759
 considered

 a true

00:23:20.660 --> 00:23:21.099

00:23:21.099 --> 00:23:21.440
 was what

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:21.639
 they

 stated

 we

00:23:26.620 --> 00:23:26.819
 that

00:23:26.819 --> 00:23:27.079
 means

00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:27.279
 is

00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:27.440
 we

00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:27.839
 consider

 that

 this

00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:31.420
 we

00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:31.740
 don't

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:32.240
 think

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:32.500
 God

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:32.660
 is

00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:33.019
 adding

 new

00:23:34.860 --> 00:23:35.120
 it's

00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:35.299
 all

00:23:35.299 --> 00:23:35.460
 in

00:23:35.460 --> 00:23:35.700
 here

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:35.880
 we

00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:36.259
 consider

00:23:36.259 --> 00:23:36.460
 the

 however

00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:39.779
 we

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.240
 also

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.799
 believe

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.039
 as

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.559
 did

00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:42.140
 Ellen G.

00:23:42.140 --> 00:23:42.579
 White's

00:23:42.579 --> 00:23:43.360
 contemporaries

00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:43.579
 that

00:23:43.579 --> 00:23:43.960
 her

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.460
 writings

00:23:44.460 --> 00:23:44.900
 carry

 doctrine

00:23:49.220 --> 00:23:50.180
 therefore

00:23:50.180 --> 00:23:50.460
 we

00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:50.940
 recommend

 seek

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:52.420
 the

 apply

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:54.460
 to

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:58.759
 in

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:58.940
 the

00:23:58.940 --> 00:23:59.379
 writings

00:23:59.379 --> 00:23:59.920
 of

00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:00.859
 White

00:24:00.859 --> 00:24:02.740
 that

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:02.879
 was

00:24:02.879 --> 00:24:03.099
 their

 95

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:05.980
 she

00:24:05.980 --> 00:24:06.319
 also

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:06.720
 preached

00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:06.940
 the

00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:07.359
 gospel

00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:07.639
 of

00:24:07.639 --> 00:24:08.180
 health

00:24:08.180 --> 00:24:09.079
 and

00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:09.420
 certain

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:10.099
 dietary

00:24:10.099 --> 00:24:10.779
 restrictions

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:11.460
 about

 consuming

00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:12.579
 meat

00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:13.440
 she

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:13.700
 called

 flesh

00:24:14.139 --> 00:24:14.579
 food

00:24:14.579 --> 00:24:15.259
 and

00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:15.460
 how

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:15.700
 it's

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:16.259
 injurious

00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:16.519
 to

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:16.700
 your

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:17.079
 health

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:17.240
 and

00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:17.519
 even

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:17.700
 to

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:17.859
 your

00:24:17.859 --> 00:24:18.339
 soul

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:19.180
 to

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:19.420
 eat

00:24:19.420 --> 00:24:19.819
 meat

00:24:19.819 --> 00:24:20.740
 and

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:20.879
 there

00:24:20.879 --> 00:24:21.019
 were

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:21.460
 elements

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:21.680
 of

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.039
 law

00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:22.380
 keeping

00:24:22.380 --> 00:24:22.700
 that

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:23.100
 crept

00:24:23.100 --> 00:24:23.440
 in

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:24.500
 and

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:25.600
 doctrines

00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:25.820
 of

00:24:25.820 --> 00:24:26.340
 soul

00:24:26.340 --> 00:24:26.900
 sleep

00:24:26.900 --> 00:24:27.299
 and

00:24:27.299 --> 00:24:28.420
 annihilationism

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:28.720
 that

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.320
 hell

00:24:29.320 --> 00:24:29.480
 is

00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:29.720
 not

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.200
 forever

00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:31.120
 even

00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:31.299
 to

00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:31.460
 the

00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:31.680
 point

00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:31.820
 of

00:24:31.820 --> 00:24:32.080
 saying

00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:32.360
 that

00:24:32.360 --> 00:24:32.740
 our

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:33.160
 sins

00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:33.340
 were

00:24:33.340 --> 00:24:33.620
 put

00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:34.000
 onto

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.539
 Satan

00:24:34.539 --> 00:24:35.480
 as

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:35.680
 the

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.380
 scapegoat

00:24:36.380 --> 00:24:37.299
 rather

00:24:37.299 --> 00:24:37.560
 than

00:24:37.560 --> 00:24:37.820
 onto

00:24:37.820 --> 00:24:38.299
 Jesus

00:24:38.299 --> 00:24:39.880
 and

00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:40.220
 so

00:24:40.220 --> 00:24:42.000
 what

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:42.140
 do

00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:42.259
 we

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:42.420
 do

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:42.580
 with

00:24:42.580 --> 00:24:42.900
 this

00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:46.299
 we

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:46.620
 throw

00:24:46.620 --> 00:24:46.759
 it

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:46.880
 in

00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:47.000
 the

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.220
 fire

00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:47.539
 pit

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:50.560
 he

00:24:50.560 --> 00:24:50.820
 says

00:24:50.820 --> 00:24:51.360
 avoid

00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:52.039
 this

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:52.439
 kind

00:24:52.439 --> 00:24:52.619
 of

00:24:52.619 --> 00:24:53.319
 irreverent

00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:53.759
 chatter

00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:55.659
 this

00:24:55.659 --> 00:24:56.059
 false

00:24:56.059 --> 00:24:56.579
 teaching

00:24:56.579 --> 00:24:57.639
 it's

00:24:57.639 --> 00:24:58.019
 empty

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.299
 there's

00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:58.500
 no

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:59.019
 value

00:24:59.019 --> 00:24:59.319
 in

00:24:59.319 --> 00:24:59.559
 it

00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.979
 they've

00:25:01.979 --> 00:25:02.359
 departed

00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:02.619
 from

00:25:02.619 --> 00:25:02.799
 the

00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:03.139
 truth

00:25:03.139 --> 00:25:05.279
 and

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:05.639
 sometimes

00:25:05.639 --> 00:25:06.079
 it's a

00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:06.539
 challenge

00:25:06.539 --> 00:25:07.099
 to

00:25:07.099 --> 00:25:07.559
 discern

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:09.399
 because

00:25:09.399 --> 00:25:10.599
 that

00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:10.979
 Jesus

00:25:10.979 --> 00:25:11.419
 message

00:25:11.419 --> 00:25:11.679
 is

00:25:11.679 --> 00:25:12.119
 there

00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:13.919
 but

00:25:13.919 --> 00:25:14.099
 then

00:25:14.099 --> 00:25:14.299
 it's

00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:14.479
 that

00:25:14.479 --> 00:25:14.939
 plus

00:25:14.939 --> 00:25:15.419
 it's

00:25:15.419 --> 00:25:15.579
 that

00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:15.939
 Jesus

00:25:15.939 --> 00:25:16.379
 plus

00:25:16.379 --> 00:25:16.919
 this

00:25:16.919 --> 00:25:17.179
 other

00:25:17.179 --> 00:25:17.599
 stuff

00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.059
 and

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:19.259
 so

00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:19.599
 look

00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:19.719
 at

00:25:19.719 --> 00:25:19.879
 what

00:25:19.879 --> 00:25:20.079
 Paul

00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:20.359
 says

00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:20.679
 next

00:25:20.679 --> 00:25:20.879
 he

00:25:20.879 --> 00:25:21.079
 gives

00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:21.480
 Timothy

00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:21.719
 a

00:25:21.719 --> 00:25:21.939
 couple

00:25:21.939 --> 00:25:22.359
 words

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:22.539
 of

00:25:22.539 --> 00:25:23.099
 encouragement

00:25:23.099 --> 00:25:23.539
 in the

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:23.740
 midst

00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:23.899
 of

00:25:23.899 --> 00:25:24.179
 this

00:25:24.179 --> 00:25:24.980
 to

00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:25.259
 help

00:25:25.259 --> 00:25:25.539
 him

00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:26.659
 know

00:25:26.659 --> 00:25:26.839
 how

00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:27.039
 to

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:27.699
 know

00:25:27.699 --> 00:25:28.219
 who's

00:25:28.219 --> 00:25:28.519
 who

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:30.019
 verse

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:30.599
 19

00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:31.419
 he

00:25:31.419 --> 00:25:31.639
 says

00:25:31.639 --> 00:25:32.039
 nevertheless

00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:33.559
 God's

00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:34.299
 solid

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:35.000
 foundation

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:35.819
 stands

00:25:35.819 --> 00:25:36.199
 firm

00:25:36.199 --> 00:25:36.699
 sealed

00:25:36.699 --> 00:25:36.939
 with

00:25:36.939 --> 00:25:37.219
 this

00:25:37.219 --> 00:25:37.719
 inscription

00:25:37.719 --> 00:25:38.419
 the

00:25:38.419 --> 00:25:38.740
 Lord

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:39.419
 knows

00:25:39.419 --> 00:25:40.480
 those

00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:40.779
 who

00:25:40.779 --> 00:25:40.959
 are

00:25:40.959 --> 00:25:41.319
 his

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:43.099
 and

00:25:43.099 --> 00:25:43.500
 everyone

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:43.759
 who

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:44.379
 confesses

00:25:44.379 --> 00:25:44.559
 the

00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:44.720
 name

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:44.839
 of

00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:44.960
 the

00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:45.200
 Lord

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:45.879
 must

00:25:45.879 --> 00:25:46.460
 turn

00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:46.819
 away

00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:47.819
 from

00:25:47.819 --> 00:25:48.500
 wickedness

00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:50.200
 so

00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:50.439
 these

00:25:50.439 --> 00:25:50.579
 are

00:25:50.579 --> 00:25:50.799
 two

00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:51.119
 helpful

00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:51.599
 things

00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:53.019
 in

 all

00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:54.019
 this

00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:54.319
 two

00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:54.799
 truths

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.000
 that

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:55.200
 can

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:55.439
 help

 us

00:25:55.619 --> 00:25:56.159
 discern

00:25:56.159 --> 00:25:56.619
 and

00:25:56.619 --> 00:25:57.059
 navigate

00:25:57.059 --> 00:25:57.859
 and

00:25:57.859 --> 00:25:58.359
 avoid

00:25:58.359 --> 00:25:58.679
 who

00:25:58.679 --> 00:25:58.859
 we

00:25:58.859 --> 00:25:59.220
 should

00:25:59.220 --> 00:26:00.339
 truth

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:00.599
 number

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:00.859
 one

00:26:00.859 --> 00:26:01.000
 is

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:01.220
 that

00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:01.839
 even

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:02.079
 though

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:02.539
 sometimes

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:02.819
 we

00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:03.000
 can

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.179
 be

 sheep

00:26:19.620 --> 00:26:21.400
 ultimately

00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:21.759
 we

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.039
 can't

 knowledge

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:50.319
 when

00:28:02.580 --> 00:28:02.740
 is

00:28:02.740 --> 00:28:03.120
 to be

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:03.259
 a

00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:03.779
 foundational

00:28:03.779 --> 00:28:04.220
 truth

00:28:04.220 --> 00:28:04.379
 he

00:28:04.379 --> 00:28:04.720
 says

00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:06.900
 and

00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:07.059
 it's

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:07.160
 a

00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:07.420
 helpful

00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:07.700
 one

00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:07.940
 there's

00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:08.160
 no

00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:08.480
 such

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:08.859
 thing

00:28:08.859 --> 00:28:10.059
 as

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:10.240
 a

00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:10.559
 true

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:11.019
 believer

00:28:11.019 --> 00:28:12.079
 who

00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:12.859
 deliberately

00:28:12.859 --> 00:28:13.960
 lives

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:14.140
 a

00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:14.379
 wicked

00:28:14.379 --> 00:28:14.779
 life

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:15.119
 on

00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:15.319
 the

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:15.640
 whole

00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:15.920
 for

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:16.079
 the

00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:16.299
 rest

00:28:16.299 --> 00:28:16.420
 of

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:16.539
 their

00:28:16.539 --> 00:28:16.920
 life

00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:19.539
 you

00:28:19.539 --> 00:28:19.680
 will

00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:19.859
 know

00:28:19.859 --> 00:28:20.099
 them

00:28:20.099 --> 00:28:20.559
 by

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:20.759
 their

00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:21.119
 fruit

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:21.900
 said

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.299
 Jesus

00:28:22.299 --> 00:28:24.700
 and

00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:25.019
 we

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:25.180
 do

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:25.299
 have

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:25.400
 to

00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:25.559
 be

00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:25.819
 careful

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:26.059
 with

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:26.240
 this

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:26.440
 because

00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:26.900
 sometimes

00:28:26.900 --> 00:28:27.359
 even

00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:27.779
 as

00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:28.039
 true

00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:28.420
 believers

00:28:28.420 --> 00:28:28.660
 we

00:28:28.660 --> 00:28:29.079
 struggle

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:30.900
 we

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:31.259
 wrestle

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:31.539
 maybe

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:31.740
 we

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:32.000
 drift

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.299
 away

00:28:32.299 --> 00:28:32.460
 a

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:32.619
 little

00:28:32.619 --> 00:28:32.920
 bit

00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:33.660
 or

00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:33.840
 get

00:28:33.840 --> 00:28:34.039
 off

00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:34.480
 track

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:36.259
 but

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:36.380
 if

00:28:36.380 --> 00:28:36.600
 that

00:28:36.600 --> 00:28:37.000
 faith

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:37.240
 was

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:37.600
 true

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:38.480
 when

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:38.620
 we

00:28:38.620 --> 00:28:38.900
 first

00:28:38.900 --> 00:28:39.380
 believed

00:28:39.380 --> 00:28:40.380
 then

00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:40.539
 we

00:28:40.539 --> 00:28:40.940
 must

00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:41.980
 and

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:42.180
 we

00:28:42.180 --> 00:28:42.560
 will

00:28:42.560 --> 00:28:43.380
 turn

00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:43.600
 away

00:28:43.600 --> 00:28:43.840
 from

00:28:43.840 --> 00:28:44.460
 wickedness

00:28:44.460 --> 00:28:45.480
 and

00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:45.740
 turn

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:46.100
 back

00:28:46.100 --> 00:28:46.539
 to

00:28:46.539 --> 00:28:46.680
 the

00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:46.940
 Lord

00:28:46.940 --> 00:28:47.740
 we

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:48.060
 must

00:28:48.060 --> 00:28:48.240
 and

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.400
 we

00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:48.720
 will

00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:49.039
 aim

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:49.220
 to

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:49.480
 live

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:50.140
 righteously

00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:52.080
 we

00:28:52.080 --> 00:28:52.460
 must

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:53.039
 and

00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:53.200
 we

00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:53.539
 will

00:28:53.539 --> 00:28:54.019
 come

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:54.420
 back

00:28:54.420 --> 00:28:55.259
 when

00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:55.400
 we

00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:55.640
 drift

00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:56.019
 away

00:28:56.019 --> 00:28:58.060
 it's

00:28:58.060 --> 00:28:58.140
 a

00:28:58.140 --> 00:28:58.340
 really

00:28:58.340 --> 00:28:58.660
 helpful

00:28:58.660 --> 00:28:59.100
 truth

00:28:59.100 --> 00:28:59.700
 that

00:28:59.700 --> 00:28:59.900
 God

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:00.060
 has

00:29:00.060 --> 00:29:00.279
 given

00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:00.500
 us

00:29:00.500 --> 00:29:00.640
 a

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.100
 foundational

00:29:01.100 --> 00:29:01.519
 truth

00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:01.700
 for

00:29:01.700 --> 00:29:01.860
 the

00:29:01.860 --> 00:29:02.180
 church

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:02.640
 and

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:02.820
 it's

00:29:02.820 --> 00:29:02.920
 here

00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:03.019
 to

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:03.200
 help

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.539
 Timothy

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:03.860
 know

00:29:03.860 --> 00:29:04.160
 how

00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:04.360
 to

00:29:04.360 --> 00:29:04.620
 think

00:29:04.620 --> 00:29:04.900
 about

00:29:04.900 --> 00:29:05.279
 who's

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:05.519
 who

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.940
 especially

00:29:06.940 --> 00:29:07.880
 for those

00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:08.279
 who are

00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:09.740
 claiming the name of Jesus

00:29:09.740 --> 00:29:10.700
 and teaching this

00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:12.019
 but then look at their lives

00:29:12.019 --> 00:29:15.299
 are they living in obedience to his commands

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:18.019
 if a teacher

00:29:18.019 --> 00:29:19.180
 if a teacher isn't on the whole

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:20.839
 living a righteous life

00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:23.339
 in obedience to God and to Christ

00:29:23.339 --> 00:29:25.480
 don't listen to them

00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:27.599
 avoid them

00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:31.200
 and we need to be careful here

00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:32.779
 I think the temptation is to

00:29:32.779 --> 00:29:33.680
 to think that

00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:35.819
 we've got good discernment

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:37.220
 you know I could listen to this stuff

00:29:37.220 --> 00:29:38.480
 I could dig into this stuff

00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:39.159
 I could really

00:29:39.159 --> 00:29:39.839
 you know

00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:40.799
 learn from it

00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:42.720
 and sift out the bad

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.559
 and keep the good

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:46.680
 I don't think Paul would have us

00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:48.460
 or Jesus would have us do that

00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:51.460
 if Timothy

00:29:51.460 --> 00:29:53.859
 Paul's own partner in the ministry

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:55.139
 needed to avoid

00:29:55.139 --> 00:29:56.659
 this kind of talk

00:29:56.659 --> 00:29:57.980
 this godless chatter

00:29:57.980 --> 00:30:00.579
 because those who indulge in it

00:30:00.579 --> 00:30:02.500
 will become more and more ungodly

00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:04.200
 then how much more

00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:04.819
 should we

00:30:04.819 --> 00:30:07.139
 we need to go back to the Bible

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:09.420
 we need to read it carefully

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:11.080
 we need to meditate

00:30:11.080 --> 00:30:12.840
 on the words of God

00:30:12.840 --> 00:30:13.620
 that are in here

00:30:13.620 --> 00:30:15.340
 and if someone on YouTube

00:30:15.340 --> 00:30:16.160
 or Facebook

00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:16.820
 or TV

00:30:16.820 --> 00:30:18.040
 is preaching something

00:30:18.040 --> 00:30:20.080
 other than what's in here

00:30:20.080 --> 00:30:21.880
 avoid them

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:25.460
 so these are Paul's instructions

00:30:25.460 --> 00:30:26.720
 to Timothy

00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:28.259
 in this portion of the letter

00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:30.040
 as Timothy seeks to minister

00:30:30.040 --> 00:30:30.600
 in Ephesus

00:30:30.600 --> 00:30:32.560
 and I've already applied

00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:33.340
 some of these things

00:30:33.340 --> 00:30:33.960
 to us today

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:35.400
 but let me just recap quickly

00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:38.320
 some of how these other things

00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:39.000
 apply here

00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.340
 one application of these words

00:30:41.340 --> 00:30:42.180
 is for those of us

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:43.259
 who teach in the church

00:30:43.259 --> 00:30:45.560
 those of us who lead

00:30:45.560 --> 00:30:47.780
 we are to keep reminding

00:30:47.780 --> 00:30:48.660
 God's people

00:30:48.660 --> 00:30:50.300
 of the gospel

00:30:50.300 --> 00:30:54.040
 of the truths about Jesus

00:30:54.040 --> 00:30:55.620
 the resurrected

00:30:55.620 --> 00:30:57.080
 descendant of David

00:30:57.080 --> 00:30:59.620
 we are to warn

00:30:59.620 --> 00:31:00.880
 those who are arguing

00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:02.200
 and quarreling

00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.460
 we are to do our very best

00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:05.640
 to seek God's approval

00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:06.819
 in the way that we're teaching

00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:09.180
 and teach the word straight

00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:12.200
 but for those of us

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:13.420
 who don't teach in the church

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:15.500
 what's there for us

00:31:15.500 --> 00:31:17.180
 I think we've touched on it

00:31:17.180 --> 00:31:17.660
 a little bit

00:31:17.660 --> 00:31:18.980
 but we are to expect

00:31:18.980 --> 00:31:20.100
 to be reminded

00:31:20.100 --> 00:31:21.400
 of the gospel

00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:22.880
 again and again

00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:24.700
 the truth of Christ

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:27.340
 we are to refrain

00:31:27.340 --> 00:31:28.279
 from the arguing

00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:28.980
 and the fighting

00:31:28.980 --> 00:31:29.680
 over things

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.200
 we are to

00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:32.160
 when we're talking about Jesus

00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:33.720
 with those who don't know him

00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:35.019
 to shoot straight

00:31:35.019 --> 00:31:36.920
 and to seek the Lord's approval

00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:37.680
 and not to

00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:38.980
 to please

00:31:38.980 --> 00:31:40.840
 the people that we're talking to

00:31:40.840 --> 00:31:43.259
 and we're to avoid

00:31:43.259 --> 00:31:44.980
 this empty and irreverent talk

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.660
 or teaching

00:31:45.660 --> 00:31:46.620
 joking

00:31:46.620 --> 00:31:49.060
 about spiritual things

00:31:49.060 --> 00:31:49.500
 that's

00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:50.580
 that's not appropriate

00:31:50.580 --> 00:31:52.900
 and anything that smacks of

00:31:52.900 --> 00:31:53.660
 Jesus

00:31:53.660 --> 00:31:54.660
 plus

00:31:54.660 --> 00:31:56.400
 this other stuff

00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:58.000
 we're to avoid it

00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:00.019
 and the final thing

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:00.940
 for all of us

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:02.680
 everyone

00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:03.839
 everyone

00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:05.119
 who confesses

00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:05.980
 the name of the Lord

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:07.880
 must turn away

00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:08.940
 from wickedness

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:10.539
 and pursue righteousness

00:32:10.539 --> 00:32:12.740
 Christ

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:13.799
 in us

00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.099
 leads us

00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:15.799
 to change

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:17.700
 toward the good

00:32:17.700 --> 00:32:19.180
 and we must

00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:20.279
 surrender ourselves

00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:21.380
 to his work

00:32:21.380 --> 00:32:21.819
 in us

00:32:21.819 --> 00:32:23.160
 we must make

00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:23.980
 every effort

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:24.640
 to do that

00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:25.400
 which is good

00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:26.079
 and right

00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:27.119
 and pleasing to him

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:28.500
 allowing him

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:29.199
 to produce

00:32:29.199 --> 00:32:30.319
 his good fruit

00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:31.039
 in our lives

00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:32.599
 we're going to

00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:33.239
 continue on

00:32:33.239 --> 00:32:33.819
 with this

00:32:33.819 --> 00:32:35.399
 portion

00:32:35.399 --> 00:32:36.439
 in a couple weeks

00:32:36.439 --> 00:32:37.559
 and see just how

00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:38.139
 this was meant

00:32:38.139 --> 00:32:39.139
 to work itself out

00:32:39.139 --> 00:32:39.939
 in Timothy's life

00:32:39.939 --> 00:32:40.619
 because Paul has

00:32:40.619 --> 00:32:41.500
 even more specific

00:32:41.500 --> 00:32:42.179
 instructions

00:32:42.179 --> 00:32:43.379
 for him

00:32:43.379 --> 00:32:44.939
 but we'll leave it here

00:32:44.939 --> 00:32:45.759
 for today

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:47.199
 let's pray

00:32:47.199 --> 00:32:53.399
 Father in heaven

00:32:53.399 --> 00:32:54.599
 thank you for these words

00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:56.659
 and we thank you

00:32:56.659 --> 00:32:57.699
 that you are at work

00:32:57.699 --> 00:32:58.579
 in us

00:32:58.579 --> 00:32:59.419
 and among us

00:32:59.419 --> 00:33:01.179
 and we pray

00:33:01.179 --> 00:33:01.959
 that these words

00:33:01.959 --> 00:33:02.859
 would do their work

00:33:02.859 --> 00:33:05.179
 and achieve the goal

00:33:05.179 --> 00:33:05.939
 that you intended

00:33:05.939 --> 00:33:06.419
 for them

00:33:06.419 --> 00:33:08.319
 that we would be

00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:09.359
 made wise

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:10.839
 to some of the tactics

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:11.799
 of the evil one

00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:13.719
 and his desire

00:33:13.719 --> 00:33:15.639
 to distract us

00:33:15.639 --> 00:33:16.399
 or to pull us

00:33:16.399 --> 00:33:17.159
 away from you

00:33:17.159 --> 00:33:19.980
 and I pray

00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:21.240
 that we would be

00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:22.639
 like you encouraged

00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:23.720
 Timothy to be

00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:24.400
 that we would be

00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:25.380
 those who seek

00:33:25.380 --> 00:33:27.080
 to please you

00:33:27.080 --> 00:33:29.120
 in everything we do

00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:32.100
 Lord

00:33:32.100 --> 00:33:34.300
 cause these words

00:33:34.300 --> 00:33:35.700
 to be deeply rooted

00:33:35.700 --> 00:33:36.240
 in us

00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:37.840
 and lead us

00:33:37.840 --> 00:33:38.460
 in the change

00:33:38.460 --> 00:33:39.080
 that they call

00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:40.860
 we ask

00:33:40.860 --> 00:33:41.680
 for your glory

00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:43.160
 Amen
