00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
 Please open your Bibles to Matthew chapter 22.

00:00:02.819 --> 00:00:04.440
 If you don't have a Bible, please raise your hand.

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:06.320
! We'd love to give you a copy that you can have.

00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:14.179
 My name is Sean, one of the pastors of Trinity Cambridge Church.

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:17.679
 My great joy and privilege to preach God's word to you this morning.

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:21.379
 We've been going through a series through the Gospel of Matthew.

00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.500
 We're nearing the end of it now, chapter 22.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.579
 Let me pray for the reading and preaching of God's word.

00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:44.679
 Heavenly Father,

00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:51.280
 we've gathered not to

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.980
 hear the words of men,

00:00:55.979 --> 00:00:59.679
 but to incline our hearts and ears

00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.779
 toward the words of God.

00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.519
 So we open up your word together.

00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.759
 We ask that you speak to us as you always do.

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.459
 Your word is living and active

00:01:15.459 --> 00:01:18.859
 and thereby demonstrate that you are

00:01:18.859 --> 00:01:20.340
 the living God.

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:21.040
 Lord,

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:26.040
 do that for everyone here who do not yet know you,

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:29.880
 all those who doubt your power.

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:35.960
 Reveal yourself.

00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:38.359
 Glorify your name.

00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.540
 Make those who are spiritually dead here this morning

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:46.300
 awake and live

00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:47.980
 as they hear the voice

00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:49.819
 of the risen Lord

00:01:49.819 --> 00:01:51.340
 calling them.

00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:56.939
 In Jesus' name,

00:01:57.459 --> 00:01:57.920
 we pray.

00:01:58.420 --> 00:01:58.719
 Amen.

00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:01.200
 If you are able to stand,

00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:02.359
 please stand and join me

00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.060
 as I read Matthew 22,

00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:05.479
 23 to 33

00:02:05.479 --> 00:02:06.439
 to honor God

00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:07.500
 as we read from his word.

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:07.599
 Amen.

00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:16.319
 The same day,

00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:17.819
 Sadducees came to him

00:02:17.819 --> 00:02:20.359
 who say that there is no resurrection.

00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.199
 And they asked him a question saying,

00:02:24.459 --> 00:02:24.740
 Teacher,

00:02:25.419 --> 00:02:26.139
 Moses said,

00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.719
 if a man dies having no children,

00:02:28.939 --> 00:02:30.519
 his brother must marry the widow

00:02:30.519 --> 00:02:32.479
 and raise up offspring for his brother.

00:02:33.419 --> 00:02:33.840
 Now,

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.319
 there were seven brothers among us.

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.259
 The first married and died

00:02:38.259 --> 00:02:41.900
 and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.

00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:43.219
 So two,

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:44.400
 the second and third,

00:02:44.459 --> 00:02:45.539
 down to the seventh.

00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:47.379
 After them all,

00:02:47.819 --> 00:02:48.439
 the woman died.

00:02:49.419 --> 00:02:50.299
 In the resurrection,

00:02:50.539 --> 00:02:50.759
 therefore,

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.159
 of the seven,

00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:54.500
 whose wife will she be?

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.379
 For they all had her.

00:02:57.620 --> 00:02:59.219
 But Jesus answered them,

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:00.659
 you are wrong

00:03:00.659 --> 00:03:03.280
 because you know neither the scriptures

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:04.900
 nor the power of God.

00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:06.719
 For in the resurrection,

00:03:06.939 --> 00:03:07.780
 they neither marry

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:09.120
 nor are given in marriage,

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.140
 but are like angels in heaven.

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.800
 And as for the resurrection of the dead,

00:03:13.980 --> 00:03:14.939
 have you not read

00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:16.480
 what was said to you by God?

00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:18.819
 I am the God of Abraham

00:03:18.819 --> 00:03:20.060
 and the God of Isaac

00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:21.200
 and the God of Jacob.

00:03:22.420 --> 00:03:24.620
 He is not God of the dead,

00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:26.040
 but of the living.

00:03:27.300 --> 00:03:28.560
 And when the crowd heard it,

00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:30.540
 they were astonished at his teaching.

00:03:31.020 --> 00:03:31.939
 This is God's holy

00:03:31.939 --> 00:03:33.060
 and authoritative word.

00:03:33.140 --> 00:03:33.719
 Please be seated.

00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:39.319
 Every major religion in the world

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:40.379
 seeks to answer

00:03:40.379 --> 00:03:42.520
 three overarching questions,

00:03:42.579 --> 00:03:44.180
 at least three overarching questions

00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:45.219
 regarding humanity.

00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:46.520
 One is,

00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:47.860
 where did we come from?

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:49.620
 Another is,

00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:51.439
 how should we live?

00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:53.460
 And another is,

00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.659
 where are we going after we die?

00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.259
 What happens to us after we die?

00:03:57.939 --> 00:03:58.780
 Our origin,

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.199
 our morality,

00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:01.599
 and our destiny.

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.259
 This passage hones in

00:04:04.259 --> 00:04:05.659
 on the third question.

00:04:06.659 --> 00:04:07.900
 What happens after we die?

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:10.939
 A famous atheist,

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:12.120
 Christopher Hitchens,

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:14.500
 was asked this question

00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:16.540
 whether he fears death or not.

00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:18.480
 And he answered,

00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:20.000
 I am not afraid of being dead

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:20.719
 because there's nothing

00:04:20.719 --> 00:04:21.659
 to be afraid of.

00:04:21.899 --> 00:04:22.800
 I won't know it.

00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:24.740
 I fear dying.

00:04:25.699 --> 00:04:27.620
 It's something to be terrified of.

00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:31.340
 He believed that there's nothing after death.

00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:32.899
 He would simply cease to exist.

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:33.300
 So then,

00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:34.139
 what is there to be afraid?

00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:35.259
 He won't be aware of anything.

00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:38.139
 He won't be alive to know it.

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.300
 But he was afraid of how he might die,

00:04:41.780 --> 00:04:44.079
 what the dying process might entail.

00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.000
 But,

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.419
 even if a quick,

00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:49.519
 painless death

00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:50.359
 could be guaranteed,

00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:54.079
 it would not completely dispel

00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.439
 the fear of mortality

00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:56.919
 and existential angst

00:04:56.919 --> 00:04:57.819
 that plague

00:04:57.819 --> 00:04:58.979
 everyone

00:04:58.979 --> 00:05:00.860
 who doesn't know God.

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.959
 There's only one true solution

00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.139
 to the fear of death,

00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:07.199
 and that is

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:08.519
 knowledge of the God

00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:09.079
 of the living.

00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:11.579
 And the main point

00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:12.379
 I want to drive home

00:05:12.379 --> 00:05:13.060
 to you this morning

00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:13.500
 is this,

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:14.899
 our God is the God

00:05:14.899 --> 00:05:15.660
 of the living

00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:17.699
 who raises the dead.

00:05:18.699 --> 00:05:19.019
 First,

00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:19.879
 I'll talk about life.

00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:20.540
 Secondly,

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:21.639
 I'll talk about the afterlife.

00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:22.759
 And thirdly,

00:05:22.780 --> 00:05:24.259
 I'll talk about resurrection life.

00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:25.459
 I'm going to spend

00:05:25.459 --> 00:05:26.699
 probably most of the time

00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:29.160
 in the first point.

00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:32.579
 Let's talk about life,

00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:33.980
 how our future death

00:05:33.980 --> 00:05:35.079
 affects the way we live

00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:36.600
 in the present moment.

00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:38.360
 In the preceding passage,

00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:39.620
 we saw how the Herodians

00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:40.939
 and the Pharisees

00:05:40.939 --> 00:05:42.139
 tried to team up

00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:43.139
 to trip Jesus up

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:44.439
 and to get him

00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:44.959
 into trouble

00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:45.680
 with the authorities.

00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:46.339
 They failed.

00:05:47.419 --> 00:05:48.459
 And in our passage today,

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:49.479
 the Sadducees

00:05:49.479 --> 00:05:50.579
 take a stab at it

00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:51.459
 themselves.

00:05:52.159 --> 00:05:52.939
 The Sadducees

00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:53.759
 were a rival

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.399
 Jewish religious faction

00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:56.300
 to the Pharisees.

00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:57.360
 According to

00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:58.000
 first century

00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.000
 Jewish Roman historian

00:05:59.000 --> 00:05:59.740
 Josephus,

00:06:00.039 --> 00:06:00.919
 the Pharisees

00:06:00.919 --> 00:06:01.919
 were more popular

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:02.979
 among the common people,

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:04.339
 but the Sadducees

00:06:04.339 --> 00:06:05.879
 dominated the ruling classes,

00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:06.740
 the elites.

00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:08.060
 They made up

00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:08.579
 the majority

00:06:08.579 --> 00:06:09.659
 of the Sanhedrin,

00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:10.740
 which was the highest

00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:11.800
 Jewish religious,

00:06:12.020 --> 00:06:12.320
 political,

00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:13.420
 and legal council.

00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:15.800
 And Matthew explains

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:16.540
 in verse 23

00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:17.840
 that the Sadducees

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:19.060
 say there is

00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:20.060
 no resurrection.

00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:22.780
 This is an abbreviated

00:06:22.780 --> 00:06:24.380
 summary of the Sadducees'

00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:25.620
 theological position.

00:06:26.900 --> 00:06:27.780
 Luke tells us

00:06:27.780 --> 00:06:29.160
 in Acts 23, 8

00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.160
 that in fact,

00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:31.200
 the Sadducees say

00:06:31.200 --> 00:06:31.760
 that there is

00:06:31.760 --> 00:06:32.460
 no resurrection,

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.080
 nor angel,

00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:35.540
 nor spirit,

00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:37.400
 but the Pharisees

00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:38.620
 acknowledged them all.

00:06:39.660 --> 00:06:41.740
 The idea of souls

00:06:41.740 --> 00:06:42.580
 or spirits

00:06:42.580 --> 00:06:43.120
 or angels

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:44.220
 are intimately connected

00:06:44.220 --> 00:06:44.800
 to belief

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:45.439
 in the resurrection.

00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:47.100
 These beliefs

00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:48.439
 go hand in hand.

00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:49.840
 They form an

00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:50.820
 interrelated

00:06:50.820 --> 00:06:51.480
 constellation

00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:52.540
 of beliefs.

00:06:53.180 --> 00:06:53.700
 Let me explain

00:06:53.700 --> 00:06:54.260
 to you what I mean.

00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:55.300
 Take Buddhism

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:56.240
 and Hinduism,

00:06:56.400 --> 00:06:56.900
 for example.

00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:58.360
 They believe

00:06:58.360 --> 00:06:59.620
 that human life

00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:00.580
 consists of

00:07:00.580 --> 00:07:01.980
 an endless cycle

00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:03.879
 called samsara.

00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:05.900
 Every creature

00:07:05.900 --> 00:07:06.620
 that dies

00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:08.000
 is reincarnated

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.300
 into another life form

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:09.939
 and continues

00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:11.500
 that endless cycle.

00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:12.900
 And because

00:07:12.900 --> 00:07:13.960
 they believe in that,

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:15.259
 they believe in

00:07:15.259 --> 00:07:15.759
 dharma

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.139
 and karma.

00:07:17.780 --> 00:07:19.040
 If every creature

00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.139
 is reincarnated,

00:07:20.340 --> 00:07:21.180
 then what determines

00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:22.100
 the new form

00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:22.879
 that they take

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:23.680
 in the new life,

00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:24.420
 in the next life?

00:07:25.220 --> 00:07:25.980
 If they follow

00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:26.560
 the dharma,

00:07:26.740 --> 00:07:27.300
 which they believe

00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:28.319
 is the universal duty

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:29.400
 and order of nature,

00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:31.080
 and then karma,

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:32.560
 which is the universal law

00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:33.580
 of cause and effect

00:07:33.580 --> 00:07:34.240
 or retribution,

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:35.699
 will dictate

00:07:35.699 --> 00:07:36.960
 a higher form of life

00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:37.560
 if you follow

00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:37.959
 the dharma.

00:07:39.039 --> 00:07:39.979
 But if you did not

00:07:39.979 --> 00:07:40.639
 follow the dharma,

00:07:40.799 --> 00:07:41.799
 then karma will dictate

00:07:41.799 --> 00:07:42.639
 that you take on

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.159
 a lower form of life

00:07:44.159 --> 00:07:45.159
 in your reincarnation.

00:07:46.500 --> 00:07:47.620
 And this belief

00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:48.519
 in reincarnation

00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:49.219
 requires that

00:07:49.219 --> 00:07:50.419
 the most consistent

00:07:50.419 --> 00:07:53.799
 and logical form

00:07:53.799 --> 00:07:55.579
 of Buddhism

00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:56.859
 and Hinduism

00:07:56.859 --> 00:07:59.759
 become vegetarian.

00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:02.219
 Most idealistic forms

00:08:02.219 --> 00:08:02.579
 of Buddhism

00:08:02.579 --> 00:08:03.099
 and Hinduism.

00:08:03.100 --> 00:08:04.300
 because the chicken

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:04.960
 that you eat

00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:06.960
 can be a reincarnation

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:08.000
 of your dead uncle.

00:08:10.100 --> 00:08:10.660
 You see,

00:08:10.820 --> 00:08:11.620
 one belief

00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:13.040
 depends on another.

00:08:14.260 --> 00:08:15.020
 And they form

00:08:15.020 --> 00:08:15.960
 this interrelated

00:08:15.960 --> 00:08:17.120
 constellation of beliefs.

00:08:18.460 --> 00:08:19.040
 It's the same

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:19.939
 for the Sadducees.

00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:22.080
 So,

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.520
 Pharisees,

00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:25.280
 if you can call them

00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:25.939
 dualists,

00:08:26.320 --> 00:08:26.939
 they believe

00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:27.660
 that the soul

00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:28.600
 and the body exist.

00:08:29.020 --> 00:08:29.740
 They are one

00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:30.960
 in a living person,

00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:32.180
 but they can be separated.

00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:32.840
 They're distinct.

00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:35.100
 Sadducees were monists,

00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:35.940
 meaning that they believed

00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:36.460
 that a person

00:08:36.460 --> 00:08:37.399
 was made up of

00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.460
 just only the body

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:40.480
 and the soul

00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:41.480
 that's within the body,

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:42.300
 they cannot ever

00:08:42.300 --> 00:08:42.779
 be separated.

00:08:42.920 --> 00:08:43.700
 They're not distinct.

00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:44.639
 And so,

00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:45.940
 when a person dies,

00:08:46.139 --> 00:08:47.279
 they simply cease

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:48.340
 to exist.

00:08:50.040 --> 00:08:51.139
 Like Christopher Hitchens.

00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:53.480
 There can be

00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:55.360
 no disembodied soul

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:56.740
 separate from the body

00:08:56.740 --> 00:08:57.519
 in the afterlife,

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:58.440
 according to their belief.

00:08:58.860 --> 00:08:59.519
 And if there is

00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:00.240
 no soul

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.080
 that continues

00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:01.820
 to live

00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:03.080
 after physical death,

00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:04.139
 then that makes

00:09:04.139 --> 00:09:04.900
 resurrection

00:09:04.900 --> 00:09:06.300
 all but impossible

00:09:06.300 --> 00:09:07.800
 in their worldview.

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:09.139
 You can think of it

00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:09.900
 like a seed.

00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:11.300
 Even if,

00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:13.139
 like a dead body,

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.800
 the seed is buried

00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:15.780
 deep into the ground,

00:09:16.180 --> 00:09:17.580
 as long as there's

00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:19.000
 still life in it,

00:09:19.400 --> 00:09:20.560
 when the rain falls on it

00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:21.500
 and the warmth of the sun

00:09:21.500 --> 00:09:22.360
 shines on it,

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:23.900
 this seed will sprout

00:09:23.900 --> 00:09:24.940
 new life again

00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:26.180
 and grow a new body.

00:09:27.180 --> 00:09:27.660
 However,

00:09:27.659 --> 00:09:29.439
 if the seed itself

00:09:29.439 --> 00:09:30.559
 is dead,

00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:31.559
 not dormant,

00:09:32.139 --> 00:09:32.819
 but dead,

00:09:33.539 --> 00:09:34.659
 it will never sprout.

00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:36.819
 Similarly,

00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:37.759
 if there is

00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.039
 no living soul

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:40.360
 after physical death,

00:09:40.719 --> 00:09:41.579
 then there is

00:09:41.579 --> 00:09:42.399
 no prospect

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:43.740
 of resurrection life

00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:45.519
 in the Sadducees' belief.

00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.899
 This is why

00:09:47.899 --> 00:09:48.379
 they say

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:49.279
 that there is

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:50.299
 no resurrection,

00:09:50.699 --> 00:09:51.360
 nor angel,

00:09:51.579 --> 00:09:52.279
 nor spirit.

00:09:52.579 --> 00:09:53.340
 Their disbelief,

00:09:53.419 --> 00:09:54.659
 their materialistic belief,

00:09:54.899 --> 00:09:55.879
 lack of belief

00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:57.039
 in the spiritual realm

00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:57.779
 and spirits

00:09:57.779 --> 00:09:59.919
 leads to their disbelief

00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:00.500
 in the resurrection.

00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:01.620
 And so,

00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:02.299
 in this passage,

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:02.899
 when they speak

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:03.579
 of the resurrection,

00:10:03.819 --> 00:10:04.679
 they are actually speaking

00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:05.399
 of the afterlife

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:06.179
 in general

00:10:06.179 --> 00:10:07.819
 and not specifically

00:10:07.819 --> 00:10:08.639
 about the bodily

00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:09.179
 resurrection

00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:10.199
 at the end of the age.

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:12.220
 But wait a minute,

00:10:12.379 --> 00:10:13.439
 don't the Sadducees,

00:10:13.579 --> 00:10:14.319
 aren't they Jews?

00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:15.800
 Don't they believe

00:10:15.800 --> 00:10:16.500
 in the Old Testament?

00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:18.760
 What about Daniel

00:10:18.760 --> 00:10:19.440
 chapter 12,

00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:19.879
 verse 2?

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:20.840
 It says explicitly,

00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:21.840
 and many of those

00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:22.820
 who sleep in the dust

00:10:22.820 --> 00:10:23.300
 of the earth

00:10:23.300 --> 00:10:24.060
 shall awake,

00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:25.680
 some to everlasting life

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:26.520
 and some to shame

00:10:26.520 --> 00:10:27.620
 and everlasting contempt.

00:10:28.940 --> 00:10:29.379
 Clearly,

00:10:29.640 --> 00:10:30.960
 there is life after death

00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:31.700
 according to the Bible.

00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:33.120
 What about

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.340
 Genesis 35, 18?

00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:36.020
 It says that while

00:10:36.020 --> 00:10:37.860
 Rachel was giving birth

00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:38.300
 to Benjamin,

00:10:38.420 --> 00:10:40.000
 her soul was departing.

00:10:41.180 --> 00:10:41.740
 They would just

00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:44.160
 dismiss that

00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:44.699
 as metaphor.

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:47.539
 Or 1 Kings 17, 22,

00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:48.539
 when Elijah raises

00:10:48.539 --> 00:10:49.219
 the dead son

00:10:49.219 --> 00:10:50.279
 of the widow of Zarephath,

00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:50.879
 it says literally

00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:51.659
 that the soul

00:10:51.659 --> 00:10:52.259
 of the child

00:10:52.259 --> 00:10:53.839
 came into him again

00:10:53.839 --> 00:10:54.639
 and he revived.

00:10:55.699 --> 00:10:55.819
 Right?

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:57.339
 In all of these instances,

00:10:57.659 --> 00:10:58.100
 the Old Testament

00:10:58.100 --> 00:10:59.000
 teaches clearly

00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.620
 that there is

00:10:59.620 --> 00:11:01.259
 a post-mortem existence

00:11:01.259 --> 00:11:01.959
 of the soul.

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:02.879
 The soul exists

00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:03.779
 apart from the body

00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:04.860
 after physical death.

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:06.600
 Or what about

00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:07.620
 1 Samuel 28,

00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:08.500
 the famous passage

00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:09.139
 where the witch

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:09.740
 of Endor

00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:10.620
 calls up

00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:12.319
 the soul of Samuel

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:13.200
 from the dead.

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.540
 The Bible speaks

00:11:16.540 --> 00:11:17.879
 repeatedly and clearly

00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:18.900
 about the immortality

00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:19.400
 of the soul

00:11:19.400 --> 00:11:20.379
 in this sense

00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:20.900
 and resurrection

00:11:20.900 --> 00:11:21.740
 from the dead.

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:23.640
 However,

00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:24.540
 the Sadducees

00:11:24.540 --> 00:11:25.800
 were fundamentalists.

00:11:26.860 --> 00:11:27.660
 They believe

00:11:27.660 --> 00:11:29.200
 that only the first

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:30.060
 five books

00:11:30.060 --> 00:11:31.140
 of the Old Testament

00:11:31.140 --> 00:11:32.700
 were inspired by God.

00:11:33.540 --> 00:11:34.220
 The books written

00:11:34.220 --> 00:11:34.720
 by Moses,

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:35.560
 the Pentateuch,

00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:36.720
 that Jews call

00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:37.240
 the Torah.

00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:38.440
 Genesis,

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:38.960
 Exodus,

00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:39.540
 Leviticus,

00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:39.980
 Numbers,

00:11:40.100 --> 00:11:40.580
 Deuteronomy.

00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:42.500
 And because of this,

00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:42.980
 they were able

00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:43.460
 to dismiss

00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:44.200
 all of the main

00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:45.120
 Old Testament passages

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:45.940
 that address

00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:47.120
 the resurrection.

00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:49.860
 And the Sadducees

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:51.000
 were quite convinced

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:51.720
 and snobby

00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:52.340
 in their beliefs.

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:53.160
 They rejected

00:11:53.160 --> 00:11:54.220
 and ridiculed

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:55.320
 the Pharisaic belief

00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:55.900
 in spirits

00:11:55.900 --> 00:11:56.600
 and the resurrection

00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:58.460
 as syncretistic

00:11:58.460 --> 00:11:59.800
 and as superstitious.

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:02.440
 So it's no surprise

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:03.600
 that when they come

00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:04.420
 to test Jesus,

00:12:04.820 --> 00:12:05.879
 they go to their

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:06.540
 pet topic,

00:12:07.160 --> 00:12:08.180
 their favorite subject.

00:12:08.179 --> 00:12:10.159
 And I'm sure

00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:10.679
 they've asked

00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:11.239
 this question

00:12:11.239 --> 00:12:12.259
 many times

00:12:12.259 --> 00:12:12.859
 to other Jews

00:12:12.859 --> 00:12:13.779
 and to the Pharisees

00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:14.219
 in debate

00:12:14.219 --> 00:12:15.519
 and they did not

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:16.579
 answer this question

00:12:16.579 --> 00:12:17.639
 satisfactorily

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:18.359
 to their liking.

00:12:19.179 --> 00:12:20.099
 And so they go back

00:12:20.099 --> 00:12:20.539
 to their,

00:12:22.059 --> 00:12:22.879
 to the tools

00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:23.379
 that they know.

00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:24.159
 Ha, we know

00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:25.000
 what question

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:25.539
 to ask Jesus.

00:12:26.339 --> 00:12:27.099
 The Pharisees

00:12:27.099 --> 00:12:27.759
 could never answer

00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:28.399
 this question

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.139
 so let's pose

00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:31.339
 to him the same question.

00:12:31.979 --> 00:12:32.740
 Expose just

00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:33.559
 how silly

00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:34.699
 is this belief

00:12:34.699 --> 00:12:35.279
 in spirits

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:35.959
 and the angels

00:12:35.959 --> 00:12:37.299
 and resurrection.

00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:39.799
 They say

00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:40.459
 in verse 24,

00:12:40.579 --> 00:12:40.859
 Teacher,

00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:42.379
 Moses said,

00:12:43.019 --> 00:12:43.459
 because they only

00:12:43.459 --> 00:12:44.659
 believe in the Moses books,

00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:45.179
 five books,

00:12:45.659 --> 00:12:46.620
 if a man dies

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:47.519
 having no children,

00:12:47.719 --> 00:12:48.500
 his brother must

00:12:48.500 --> 00:12:49.079
 marry the widow

00:12:49.079 --> 00:12:50.099
 and raise up offspring

00:12:50.099 --> 00:12:50.919
 for his brother.

00:12:51.719 --> 00:12:52.479
 They're alluding here

00:12:52.479 --> 00:12:52.979
 to a passage

00:12:52.979 --> 00:12:54.339
 like Deuteronomy 25

00:12:54.339 --> 00:12:55.679
 which stipulate

00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:57.079
 levirate marriage.

00:12:57.719 --> 00:12:58.879
 If a man dies

00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.319
 without leaving children,

00:13:00.459 --> 00:13:01.519
 then it was his brother's

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:02.379
 duty to continue

00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:03.399
 his name and line

00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:04.359
 by producing children

00:13:04.359 --> 00:13:05.019
 for him

00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:06.079
 by taking his brother's

00:13:06.079 --> 00:13:06.919
 surviving wife,

00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:07.279
 the widow,

00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:08.259
 as his own wife.

00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:10.120
 This was important

00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:11.199
 because the children

00:13:11.199 --> 00:13:11.519
 would,

00:13:11.699 --> 00:13:12.740
 not having children

00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:13.199
 would mean

00:13:13.199 --> 00:13:13.959
 that you would be

00:13:13.959 --> 00:13:14.819
 blotted out

00:13:14.819 --> 00:13:15.360
 permanently

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:16.199
 from the nation

00:13:16.199 --> 00:13:17.179
 of Israel.

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:18.339
 How so?

00:13:18.419 --> 00:13:19.099
 Because normally

00:13:19.099 --> 00:13:20.179
 inherent is passed

00:13:20.179 --> 00:13:21.259
 down through the male heir

00:13:21.259 --> 00:13:24.099
 and if there's no heir

00:13:24.099 --> 00:13:24.919
 to receive,

00:13:25.299 --> 00:13:26.860
 Numbers 27 specified,

00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:27.740
 God said,

00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:28.379
 if you don't have

00:13:28.379 --> 00:13:28.919
 a male heir,

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:29.519
 you can pass it

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.179
 on to your daughters

00:13:30.179 --> 00:13:31.059
 but if you have

00:13:31.059 --> 00:13:31.779
 neither sons

00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:32.519
 nor daughters,

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:33.459
 then you have

00:13:33.459 --> 00:13:34.139
 no one to pass

00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:34.539
 your land to,

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:35.419
 it goes to your brother

00:13:35.419 --> 00:13:37.479
 and then you don't

00:13:37.479 --> 00:13:38.079
 have anyone

00:13:38.079 --> 00:13:38.639
 to carry on

00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.059
 your name

00:13:39.059 --> 00:13:40.259
 and you don't

00:13:40.259 --> 00:13:41.519
 have any land

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.959
 within the promised

00:13:42.959 --> 00:13:43.599
 land of God

00:13:43.599 --> 00:13:44.299
 in your name

00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:45.139
 and that means

00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:45.819
 you are excluded

00:13:45.819 --> 00:13:46.860
 from the covenant

00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:47.459
 of God.

00:13:49.959 --> 00:13:51.199
 So this is why

00:13:51.199 --> 00:13:52.299
 Le'Veeret marriage

00:13:52.299 --> 00:13:52.439
 was,

00:13:52.839 --> 00:13:53.819
 it existed

00:13:53.819 --> 00:13:54.439
 and it was important

00:13:54.439 --> 00:13:55.219
 for the Jews

00:13:55.219 --> 00:13:56.899
 to be cut off

00:13:56.899 --> 00:13:58.799
 from that generation,

00:13:59.299 --> 00:14:00.120
 the generations

00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:00.639
 of Israel

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:01.019
 would have been

00:14:01.019 --> 00:14:01.759
 a catastrophic

00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:02.199
 outcome.

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.360
 So taking this

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:05.340
 practice of Le'Veeret

00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:05.660
 marriage,

00:14:05.800 --> 00:14:06.259
 the Sadducees

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:07.180
 framed their question

00:14:07.180 --> 00:14:07.780
 this way in verses

00:14:07.780 --> 00:14:08.879
 25 to 28,

00:14:09.400 --> 00:14:10.040
 there were seven

00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:10.840
 brothers among us,

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:11.640
 the first married

00:14:11.640 --> 00:14:12.160
 and died

00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:13.680
 and having no offspring

00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:14.860
 left his wife

00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:15.340
 to his brother.

00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:16.740
 So to the second

00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:17.200
 and third

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.080
 down to the seventh

00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:19.020
 and after them all

00:14:19.020 --> 00:14:19.759
 the woman died

00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.020
 in the resurrection

00:14:21.020 --> 00:14:22.180
 therefore of the seven

00:14:22.180 --> 00:14:23.540
 whose wife will she be

00:14:23.540 --> 00:14:24.800
 for they all had her.

00:14:26.060 --> 00:14:26.660
 Their question

00:14:26.660 --> 00:14:27.740
 takes the logical

00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:28.840
 form of reductio

00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:29.800
 ad absurdum,

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:31.620
 it takes a philosophical

00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:32.580
 premise to its

00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:33.639
 logical extreme

00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.639
 in order to show

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.360
 that doing so

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:36.899
 results in an absurdity

00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:38.360
 and therefore proving

00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:39.580
 the premise to be false.

00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:41.259
 If it is true

00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:42.159
 that the soul

00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:43.820
 lives on after death

00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:45.200
 then what happens

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:45.720
 to a woman

00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:46.399
 who was widowed

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.360
 six times

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:48.000
 and therefore

00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:49.580
 seven men

00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:50.940
 had been her legal

00:14:50.940 --> 00:14:51.620
 husband during her

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:52.080
 lifetime

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.060
 through Le'Veeret marriage?

00:14:54.060 --> 00:14:55.000
 In the afterlife

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:55.940
 which one of the

00:14:55.940 --> 00:14:56.580
 seven men

00:14:56.580 --> 00:14:57.240
 is the woman

00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:57.879
 married to

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:58.940
 or is she married

00:14:58.940 --> 00:15:00.399
 to all seven?

00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.179
 That's absurd.

00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:06.539
 This would have been

00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:07.620
 unthinkable for the Jews

00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:09.459
 and that's their argument.

00:15:09.699 --> 00:15:10.899
 You see your belief

00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:11.879
 in the resurrection

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.559
 your belief

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:13.179
 in spirits

00:15:13.179 --> 00:15:13.860
 and afterlife

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:15.360
 make no sense

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.799
 but our position

00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:17.519
 if you die

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:18.559
 and you cease to exist

00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:19.379
 well that's simple

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:20.139
 and that's neat

00:15:20.139 --> 00:15:20.699
 and it makes

00:15:20.699 --> 00:15:21.980
 perfect logical sense.

00:15:23.059 --> 00:15:24.120
 We don't have to deal

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:24.799
 with messy

00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:25.340
 afterlife

00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:26.720
 philosophical conundrums.

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.519
 For people who

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.519
 don't know much

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:31.279
 about the afterlife

00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:32.560
 this could be

00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:33.340
 a serious question.

00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:35.120
 Over 20%

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:35.820
 of US adults

00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:36.340
 have been married

00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:37.040
 at least twice.

00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:38.720
 What happens

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:39.519
 after they die

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.000
 if they have

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.080
 more than one spouse

00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:43.040
 in the afterlife?

00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:45.800
 Ed brought it

00:15:45.800 --> 00:15:46.220
 to my attention

00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:46.860
 that there's actually

00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:47.840
 a romantic comedy

00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:48.660
 that came out

00:15:48.660 --> 00:15:49.139
 last year.

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:51.019
 It's called

00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:51.639
 Eternity.

00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:52.519
 Have you guys seen it?

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:53.960
 I haven't seen it

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.319
 but the premise

00:15:56.319 --> 00:15:56.980
 of the movie

00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:57.819
 is shamelessly

00:15:57.819 --> 00:15:58.220
 ripped off

00:15:58.220 --> 00:15:59.199
 of this Bible passage.

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:02.139
 In the movie

00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:02.939
 a couple that

00:16:02.939 --> 00:16:03.740
 has been married

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:05.340
 for 65 years

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:06.399
 Larry and Joanne

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.019
 die and end up

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:08.699
 in the afterlife

00:16:08.699 --> 00:16:10.000
 where they must

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.799
 each choose

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:11.399
 where they want

00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:12.279
 to spend eternity

00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.019
 and complicating

00:16:14.019 --> 00:16:14.579
 this decision

00:16:14.579 --> 00:16:15.199
 is the fact

00:16:15.199 --> 00:16:15.860
 that Joanne's

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:16.759
 first husband

00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:17.860
 to whom she was

00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:18.899
 married for two years

00:16:18.899 --> 00:16:19.740
 before he died

00:16:19.740 --> 00:16:20.199
 in war

00:16:20.199 --> 00:16:20.659
 as a soldier

00:16:20.659 --> 00:16:21.079
 in war

00:16:21.079 --> 00:16:21.939
 is also there

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:23.140
 and he had been

00:16:23.140 --> 00:16:23.760
 waiting for her

00:16:23.760 --> 00:16:24.920
 for 67 years

00:16:24.920 --> 00:16:27.220
 so they can choose

00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:28.180
 the same place

00:16:28.180 --> 00:16:28.820
 to spend eternity

00:16:28.820 --> 00:16:29.200
 with.

00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:30.200
 Now Joanne

00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.640
 how romantic

00:16:31.640 --> 00:16:32.480
 must choose

00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:33.480
 which of the two

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:34.140
 husbands to spend

00:16:34.140 --> 00:16:34.640
 eternity with

00:16:34.640 --> 00:16:35.540
 or how unromantic

00:16:35.540 --> 00:16:36.240
 rather I don't know

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:36.900
 how you look at that.

00:16:37.540 --> 00:16:38.240
 I know it's crazy

00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:38.900
 they should list

00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:39.660
 Matthew 22

00:16:39.660 --> 00:16:40.320
 in their credits.

00:16:41.540 --> 00:16:42.380
 The Sadducees

00:16:42.380 --> 00:16:43.620
 are surely smug

00:16:43.620 --> 00:16:44.320
 at this point

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.040
 they're thinking

00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:45.900
 that they've asked

00:16:45.900 --> 00:16:47.260
 Jesus an airtight

00:16:47.260 --> 00:16:48.880
 unanswerable question

00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:50.460
 but Jesus

00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:51.600
 unexpectedly

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.500
 challenges

00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:53.040
 one of their

00:16:53.040 --> 00:16:53.820
 presuppositions

00:16:53.820 --> 00:16:55.440
 in verses 29

00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:55.940
 to 30

00:16:55.940 --> 00:16:57.740
 you are wrong

00:16:57.740 --> 00:16:58.440
 because

00:16:58.440 --> 00:16:59.519
 you know

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:00.460
 neither the scriptures

00:17:00.460 --> 00:17:01.340
 nor the power

00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:01.820
 of God

00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:03.320
 for in the resurrection

00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:04.819
 they neither marry

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.440
 nor are given

00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:05.900
 in marriage

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:06.460
 but are like

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:07.740
 angels in heaven.

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:09.799
 There is

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:10.819
 no marriage

00:17:10.819 --> 00:17:11.700
 in the afterlife.

00:17:13.380 --> 00:17:14.299
 We become

00:17:14.299 --> 00:17:15.019
 like angels

00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:15.500
 in heaven

00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:16.480
 who do not marry.

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:18.360
 By saying this

00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:19.360
 Jesus is also

00:17:19.360 --> 00:17:19.920
 challenging

00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:20.480
 the Sadducees

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.300
 denial of angels.

00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:21.960
 He's saying

00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:22.800
 angels do exist.

00:17:23.800 --> 00:17:24.480
 This verse

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.240
 has often been

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:25.680
 misunderstood

00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:26.279
 to mean

00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:26.900
 that when Christians

00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:27.840
 die they become

00:17:27.840 --> 00:17:28.240
 angels.

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:29.300
 Have you guys

00:17:29.300 --> 00:17:29.800
 heard of that?

00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:30.880
 Or maybe some

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:31.180
 of you guys

00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:31.560
 think that

00:17:31.560 --> 00:17:32.220
 that's not okay.

00:17:32.820 --> 00:17:33.640
 You may have

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.220
 heard that

00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:36.019
 some people say

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:36.560
 that after

00:17:36.560 --> 00:17:37.340
 passing of a loved

00:17:37.340 --> 00:17:37.880
 one they say

00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:38.720
 oh heaven gained

00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:39.500
 another angel.

00:17:41.140 --> 00:17:42.400
 Or if you've

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:42.660
 ever seen

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:43.360
 a 1940

00:17:43.360 --> 00:17:44.300
 Christmas classic

00:17:44.300 --> 00:17:45.340
 It's a Wonderful Life

00:17:45.339 --> 00:17:46.399
 it's my favorite

00:17:46.399 --> 00:17:47.240
 Christmas movie.

00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:49.919
 The dead human

00:17:49.919 --> 00:17:50.740
 Clarence

00:17:50.740 --> 00:17:51.500
 has become

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.039
 an angel

00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:53.220
 and now

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:53.799
 he must

00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.099
 earn his wings

00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:56.220
 by saving

00:17:56.220 --> 00:17:57.059
 George Bailey.

00:17:58.619 --> 00:17:59.220
 This is

00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:00.599
 it's a good movie

00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:01.720
 but it's bad theology.

00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:05.139
 Hebrews 1.13

00:18:05.139 --> 00:18:05.879
 says angels

00:18:05.879 --> 00:18:06.379
 are all

00:18:06.379 --> 00:18:07.519
 ministering spirits

00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:08.079
 sent out

00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:08.659
 to serve

00:18:08.659 --> 00:18:09.259
 for the sake

00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:09.619
 of those

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:09.959
 who are to

00:18:09.959 --> 00:18:10.759
 inherit salvation.

00:18:11.619 --> 00:18:12.379
 In other words

00:18:12.379 --> 00:18:13.879
 God created angels

00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:14.780
 to serve

00:18:14.780 --> 00:18:15.600
 and minister

00:18:15.600 --> 00:18:16.480
 to humans.

00:18:17.060 --> 00:18:17.920
 Humans do not

00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:18.640
 become angels.

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:20.160
 Angels do not

00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:20.880
 become humans.

00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:22.160
 But when humans

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.160
 die we become

00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:24.280
 like angels

00:18:24.280 --> 00:18:24.860
 in the sense

00:18:24.860 --> 00:18:25.420
 that we

00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:26.700
 do not marry.

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:29.360
 But why

00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:29.880
 is there no

00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:30.540
 marriage in heaven?

00:18:31.540 --> 00:18:32.260
 In the parallel

00:18:32.260 --> 00:18:33.240
 passage in Luke

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:34.520
 20.34-36

00:18:34.520 --> 00:18:36.500
 Jesus is fielding

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:37.240
 this exact same

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:37.560
 question

00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:38.240
 it's a parallel

00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:38.740
 passage

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:40.140
 and we get

00:18:40.140 --> 00:18:40.900
 one extra

00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:41.880
 detail from Luke.

00:18:42.820 --> 00:18:43.400
 Jesus says

00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:44.120
 the sons

00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:45.000
 of this age

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:45.620
 marry and

00:18:45.620 --> 00:18:45.940
 are given

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:46.400
 in marriage

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:47.300
 but those

00:18:47.300 --> 00:18:47.560
 who are

00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:47.960
 considered

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:48.540
 worthy to

00:18:48.540 --> 00:18:49.000
 attain to

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:49.480
 that age

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:49.759
 and to

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.240
 the resurrection

00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:50.940
 from the dead

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:51.780
 neither marry

00:18:51.780 --> 00:18:52.480
 nor are given

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.000
 in marriage

00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:54.040
 for they

00:18:54.040 --> 00:18:55.420
 cannot die

00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:56.080
 anymore

00:18:56.080 --> 00:18:57.460
 because they

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:57.920
 are equal

00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:58.680
 to angels

00:18:58.680 --> 00:18:59.660
 and are sons

00:18:59.660 --> 00:19:00.120
 of God

00:19:00.120 --> 00:19:00.740
 being sons

00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:01.019
 of the

00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:01.440
 resurrection.

00:19:02.840 --> 00:19:03.519
 In the

00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:03.960
 afterlife

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.560
 in heaven

00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:05.160
 there is

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:05.560
 no more

00:19:05.560 --> 00:19:06.019
 marriage

00:19:06.019 --> 00:19:06.800
 because

00:19:06.800 --> 00:19:07.820
 Jesus says

00:19:07.820 --> 00:19:08.700
 we cannot

00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:09.759
 die

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:10.259
 anymore.

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:12.119
 let's

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:12.440
 try to

00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:12.700
 follow

00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:13.039
 Jesus'

00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:13.559
 train

00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:13.720
 of

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:14.000
 thought

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:14.480
 why

00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:14.720
 does

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:14.940
 no

00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.140
 more

00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:15.539
 death

00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:15.799
 mean

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:16.000
 no

00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:16.200
 more

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:16.680
 marriage

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:18.420
 marriage

00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:19.359
 uninterrupted

00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.019
 by death

00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:21.160
 isn't that a

00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:21.759
 dream come true

00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:22.259
 why can't we

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:22.879
 just be married

00:19:22.879 --> 00:19:23.279
 forever

00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:24.579
 live happily

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:25.180
 ever after

00:19:25.180 --> 00:19:26.839
 no Jesus

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.180
 says

00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:27.599
 marriage

00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:28.019
 is an

00:19:28.019 --> 00:19:28.519
 institution

00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:29.019
 that God

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:29.460
 intended

00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:30.339
 only for

00:19:30.339 --> 00:19:30.779
 a world

00:19:30.779 --> 00:19:31.359
 where people

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:31.879
 die

00:19:31.879 --> 00:19:33.640
 why

00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:34.900
 think of

00:19:34.900 --> 00:19:35.299
 what one of

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:35.559
 the main

00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:35.980
 purposes

00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:36.480
 of marriage

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:36.859
 is

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:38.119
 God

00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:38.519
 creates

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:38.819
 Eve

00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:39.139
 to be

00:19:39.139 --> 00:19:39.279
 a

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:39.539
 help

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:39.719
 meat

00:19:39.719 --> 00:19:39.919
 for

00:19:39.919 --> 00:19:40.199
 Adam

00:19:40.199 --> 00:19:40.439
 so

00:19:40.439 --> 00:19:40.559
 that

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:40.679
 they

00:19:40.679 --> 00:19:40.839
 can

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:41.319
 fulfill

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:41.519
 the

00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:41.879
 cultural

00:19:41.879 --> 00:19:42.219
 mandate

00:19:42.219 --> 00:19:42.599
 to be

00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:42.979
 fruitful

00:19:42.979 --> 00:19:43.719
 and multiply

00:19:43.719 --> 00:19:44.240
 and fill

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:44.619
 the earth

00:19:44.619 --> 00:19:45.299
 and subdue

00:19:45.299 --> 00:19:45.500
 it

00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:46.759
 in Malachi

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:47.579
 2.15

00:19:47.579 --> 00:19:48.019
 the prophet

00:19:48.019 --> 00:19:48.399
 says that

00:19:48.399 --> 00:19:48.579
 God

00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:48.919
 brings

00:19:48.919 --> 00:19:49.279
 together

00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:49.859
 one man

00:19:49.859 --> 00:19:50.240
 and one

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:50.500
 woman

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:50.979
 in holy

00:19:50.979 --> 00:19:51.699
 matrimony

00:19:51.699 --> 00:19:52.259
 so that

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:52.519
 they might

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.099
 produce

00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:54.119
 godly

00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:54.899
 offspring

00:19:54.899 --> 00:19:57.079
 procreation

00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:57.740
 is not

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:58.279
 the only

00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:58.679
 purpose

00:19:58.679 --> 00:19:59.019
 of marriage

00:19:59.019 --> 00:19:59.339
 but it

00:19:59.339 --> 00:19:59.899
 is

00:19:59.899 --> 00:20:00.459
 one of

00:20:00.459 --> 00:20:01.039
 marriage's

00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:01.459
 main

00:20:01.459 --> 00:20:02.000
 purposes

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.039
 death

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:04.579
 claims

00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:05.199
 people's

00:20:05.199 --> 00:20:05.500
 lives

00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:05.959
 every

00:20:05.959 --> 00:20:06.579
 single

00:20:06.579 --> 00:20:07.019
 day

00:20:07.019 --> 00:20:08.319
 and the

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:08.559
 only

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:08.960
 way to

00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.480
 sustain

00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:09.980
 humanity

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.399
 on earth

00:20:10.399 --> 00:20:10.699
 is by

00:20:10.699 --> 00:20:10.939
 giving

00:20:10.939 --> 00:20:11.460
 birth

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:11.659
 to

00:20:11.659 --> 00:20:11.859
 new

00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:12.259
 people

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:12.839
 every

00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:13.599
 single

00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:14.139
 day

00:20:14.139 --> 00:20:16.119
 ten years

00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:16.299
 ago

00:20:16.299 --> 00:20:16.559
 when I

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:16.819
 first

00:20:16.819 --> 00:20:17.139
 started

00:20:17.139 --> 00:20:17.480
 doing

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:17.980
 premarital

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:18.460
 counseling

00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:18.939
 it was

00:20:18.939 --> 00:20:19.319
 common

00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:19.779
 for people

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:20.319
 in Cambridge

00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:20.859
 to worry

00:20:20.859 --> 00:20:21.139
 about

00:20:21.139 --> 00:20:22.119
 overpopulation

00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:23.359
 and minimizing

00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:23.939
 your carbon

00:20:23.939 --> 00:20:24.379
 footprint

00:20:24.379 --> 00:20:25.039
 and they

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:25.299
 thought

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:25.559
 it was

00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:26.039
 virtuous

00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:26.539
 to choose

00:20:26.539 --> 00:20:27.000
 not to

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:27.199
 have

00:20:27.199 --> 00:20:27.579
 kids

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:28.619
 this was

00:20:28.619 --> 00:20:29.039
 only ten

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:29.500
 years ago

00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:31.059
 but that

00:20:31.059 --> 00:20:31.419
 has been

00:20:31.419 --> 00:20:31.819
 shown to

00:20:31.819 --> 00:20:31.960
 be

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:32.259
 short

00:20:32.259 --> 00:20:32.819
 sighted

00:20:32.819 --> 00:20:33.919
 it's a

00:20:33.919 --> 00:20:34.179
 short

00:20:34.179 --> 00:20:34.579
 sighted

00:20:34.579 --> 00:20:34.779
 view

00:20:34.779 --> 00:20:36.039
 that forgets

00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:36.819
 how fragile

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:37.440
 human life

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:37.859
 is

00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:39.759
 in countries

00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:40.500
 like South

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:40.839
 Korea

00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:41.440
 Taiwan

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:41.980
 China

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:42.420
 and Japan

00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:43.039
 the total

00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:43.559
 fertility

00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:44.019
 rates

00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:44.500
 are

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.180
 perilously

00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:45.559
 low

00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:46.399
 around

00:20:46.399 --> 00:20:46.839
 one

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:47.659
 or below

00:20:47.659 --> 00:20:48.079
 one

00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:48.960
 and that

00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.359
 means an

00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:49.740
 average

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:50.319
 woman will

00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:50.879
 have one

00:20:50.879 --> 00:20:51.240
 kid

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.139
 or less

00:20:52.139 --> 00:20:53.139
 which means

00:20:53.139 --> 00:20:53.519
 there are

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.139
 twice as

00:20:54.139 --> 00:20:55.000
 many deaths

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.500
 as there

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:56.639
 are births

00:20:56.639 --> 00:20:57.099
 and the

00:20:57.099 --> 00:20:58.019
 total population

00:20:58.019 --> 00:20:58.960
 is halved

00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:00.440
 every generation

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.019
 it's

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:02.500
 crazy

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:04.960
 in Japan

00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:05.400
 where the

00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:05.880
 population

00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:06.240
 has been

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:06.660
 declining

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:07.820
 since 2011

00:21:07.820 --> 00:21:08.420
 economists

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:08.900
 at

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:09.920
 Tohoku

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:10.500
 University

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:11.320
 established

00:21:11.320 --> 00:21:12.000
 a countdown

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:12.440
 toward

00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:12.900
 national

00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:13.480
 extinction

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:14.420
 estimating

00:21:14.420 --> 00:21:14.860
 that Japan

00:21:14.860 --> 00:21:15.480
 will only

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:16.220
 have one

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:16.880
 remaining

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:17.500
 child

00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:19.460
 in 4,205

00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:22.539
 many of

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:22.880
 the European

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:23.299
 nations

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:23.620
 are at

00:21:23.620 --> 00:21:24.240
 1.1

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:25.039
 or 1.2

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:25.340
 which is

00:21:25.340 --> 00:21:25.680
 not much

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:25.960
 better

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.799
 and even

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:27.180
 here in

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:27.500
 the US

00:21:27.500 --> 00:21:27.860
 we are

00:21:27.860 --> 00:21:28.299
 below

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:28.940
 replacement

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:29.340
 level

00:21:29.339 --> 00:21:29.740
 and we're

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:30.019
 flirting

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:30.500
 with the

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:31.199
 first ever

00:21:31.199 --> 00:21:31.799
 population

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:32.299
 decline

00:21:32.299 --> 00:21:32.619
 in our

00:21:32.619 --> 00:21:32.959
 history

00:21:32.959 --> 00:21:36.240
 in many

00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:36.779
 cases

00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:37.319
 falling

00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:37.740
 fertility

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:38.099
 rates

00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:38.259
 are

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:38.699
 directly

00:21:38.699 --> 00:21:39.139
 related

00:21:39.139 --> 00:21:39.500

00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:41.119
 because

00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:41.459
 that's

00:21:41.459 --> 00:21:41.579
 the

00:21:41.579 --> 00:21:41.959
 context

00:21:41.959 --> 00:21:42.279
 in which

 most

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:42.720
 people

 more

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:45.299
 people

00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:45.439
 are

 and

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:47.259
 many

 these

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:50.399
 realities

00:21:50.399 --> 00:21:50.980
 demonstrate

00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:51.539
 the truth

00:21:51.539 --> 00:21:51.859
 of what

00:21:51.859 --> 00:21:52.119
 Jesus

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:52.480
 is

00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:03.839
 Hebrews

00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:04.399
 tells us

00:30:04.399 --> 00:30:04.599
 that

00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:05.139
 Abraham

00:30:05.139 --> 00:30:05.539
 Isaac

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:05.740
 and

00:30:05.740 --> 00:30:06.039
 Jacob

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:06.459
 did

 not

00:30:06.819 --> 00:30:07.199
 get

00:30:07.199 --> 00:30:07.480
 what

00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:07.719
 was

00:30:07.719 --> 00:30:08.219
 promised

00:30:08.219 --> 00:30:08.519
 to

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:08.779
 them

00:30:08.779 --> 00:30:09.699
 they

00:30:09.699 --> 00:30:09.980
 did

00:30:11.339 --> 00:30:11.919
 land

00:30:11.919 --> 00:30:12.500
 they

00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:12.959
 instead

00:30:12.959 --> 00:30:13.379
 lived

00:30:13.379 --> 00:30:13.599
 as

00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:14.199
 sojourners

00:30:14.199 --> 00:30:14.379
 and

00:30:14.379 --> 00:30:14.919
 exiles

00:30:14.919 --> 00:30:15.259
 living

00:30:15.259 --> 00:30:15.919
 in tents

00:30:15.919 --> 00:30:16.259
 in the

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:16.579
 promised

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:16.859
 land

00:30:16.859 --> 00:30:17.339
 looking

00:30:17.339 --> 00:30:17.679
 forward

00:30:17.679 --> 00:30:17.959
 to the

00:30:17.959 --> 00:30:18.279
 promise

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:18.480
 that

00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:18.719
 God

00:30:18.719 --> 00:30:18.959
 will

00:30:18.959 --> 00:30:19.519
 fulfill

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:19.539
!

00:30:19.539 --> 00:30:20.799
 So if

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.279
 Abraham

00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:21.740
 Isaac

00:30:21.740 --> 00:30:21.940

00:30:21.940 --> 00:30:22.259
 Jacob

00:30:22.259 --> 00:30:23.000
 ceased

00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:23.240
 to

00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:23.759
 exist

00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:24.099
 after

00:30:24.099 --> 00:30:24.299
 they

00:30:24.299 --> 00:30:24.680
 died

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:25.779
 never

00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:26.279
 received

00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:26.460
 their

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:26.879
 promises

00:30:26.879 --> 00:30:27.639
 what

00:30:27.639 --> 00:30:27.859
 does

00:30:27.859 --> 00:30:28.019
 that

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:28.220
 make

00:30:28.220 --> 00:30:28.559
 God?

00:30:30.299 --> 00:30:30.879
 An

00:30:30.879 --> 00:30:31.680
 impotent

00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:32.539
 promise

00:30:32.539 --> 00:30:32.940
 breaker

00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:36.920
 but that's

00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:37.480
 blasphemy

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:37.500
!

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:39.539
 No

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:40.279
 Abraham

00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:40.940
 Isaac

00:30:40.940 --> 00:30:41.180
 and

00:30:41.180 --> 00:30:41.519
 Jacob

00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:42.559
 received

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:42.899
 their

00:30:42.899 --> 00:30:43.420
 promises

 they were

00:30:46.139 --> 00:30:46.599
 ultimately

00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:52.640
 and

00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:53.059
 how

00:30:53.059 --> 00:30:53.680
 because

 reject

 the

 divine

00:33:18.259 --> 00:33:18.439
 be

00:33:18.439 --> 00:33:18.659
 like

00:33:18.659 --> 00:33:18.819
 the

00:33:18.819 --> 00:33:19.419
 Sadducees

00:33:19.419 --> 00:33:20.039
 who

00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:20.480
 suffered

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:20.939
 from

00:33:20.939 --> 00:33:21.419
 an

00:33:21.419 --> 00:33:22.039
 impoverished

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.579
 imagination

00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:22.919
 because

00:33:22.919 --> 00:33:23.159
 they

00:33:23.159 --> 00:33:23.460
 did

00:33:23.460 --> 00:33:23.779
 not

00:33:23.779 --> 00:33:24.199
 know

 the

 the

 only

00:33:28.779 --> 00:33:29.240
 kind

00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:29.379
 of

00:33:29.379 --> 00:33:29.960
 afterlife

00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:30.199
 the

00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:30.860
 Sadducees

00:33:30.860 --> 00:33:31.019
 could

00:33:31.019 --> 00:33:31.380
 imagine

00:33:31.380 --> 00:33:31.779
 was

00:33:31.779 --> 00:33:32.000
 one

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:32.180
 that

00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:32.319
 was

00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:32.680
 exactly

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:32.980
 like

00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:33.120
 the

00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:33.380
 present

00:33:33.380 --> 00:33:33.700
 life

00:33:33.700 --> 00:33:34.539
 where

00:33:34.539 --> 00:33:34.799
 people

00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:35.080
 marry

00:33:35.080 --> 00:33:35.200
 and

00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:35.299
 are

00:33:35.299 --> 00:33:35.460
 given

00:33:35.460 --> 00:33:35.640
 in

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:36.000
 marriage

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:37.200
 they

00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:37.660
 rejected

00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:37.840
 the

00:33:37.840 --> 00:33:38.240
 intermediate

00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:38.620
 state

00:33:38.620 --> 00:33:38.819
 where

00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:39.259
 souls

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:39.500
 can

00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:39.720
 live

00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:40.019
 apart

00:33:40.019 --> 00:33:40.200
 from

00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:40.340
 their

00:33:40.340 --> 00:33:40.600
 bodies

00:33:40.600 --> 00:33:40.819
 because

00:33:40.819 --> 00:33:40.980
 they

00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:41.160
 could

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:41.380
 not

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:41.819
 imagine

00:33:41.819 --> 00:33:41.980
 a

00:33:41.980 --> 00:33:42.559
 disembodied

00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:42.880
 soul

00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:44.160
 but

00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:44.539
 don't

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:45.080
 presume

00:33:45.080 --> 00:33:45.400
 that

00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:45.920
 what

00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:46.080
 you

00:33:46.080 --> 00:33:46.440
 cannot

00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:46.920
 observe

00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:47.140
 by

00:33:47.140 --> 00:33:47.319
 your

00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:47.640
 senses

00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:47.960
 do

00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:48.140
 not

00:33:48.140 --> 00:33:48.640
 exist

00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:50.360
 that's

00:33:50.360 --> 00:33:50.539
 like

00:33:50.539 --> 00:33:50.660
 a

00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:50.799
 little

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:51.059
 girl

00:33:51.059 --> 00:33:51.440
 playing

00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:51.799
 hide

00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:52.240
 and seek

00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:52.680
 with

00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:53.000
 her

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:53.900
 dad

00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:55.100
 and

00:33:55.100 --> 00:33:55.319
 as

00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:55.980
 he

00:33:55.980 --> 00:33:56.220
 gets

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:56.519
 close

00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:01.279
 by

00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:01.600
 covering

00:34:01.600 --> 00:34:01.860
 her

00:34:01.860 --> 00:34:02.180
 eyes

00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:03.220
 because

00:34:03.220 --> 00:34:03.500
 she

00:34:03.500 --> 00:34:03.940
 can't

00:34:03.940 --> 00:34:04.160
 see

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.519
 anything

00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:04.700
 she

00:34:04.700 --> 00:34:05.080
 assumes

00:34:05.080 --> 00:34:05.240
 that

00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:05.720
 means

00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:06.120
 dad

00:34:06.120 --> 00:34:06.420
 can't

00:34:06.580 --> 00:34:06.819
 me

00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:13.179

 no

 you

00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:17.639
 can't

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:18.019

00:34:18.019 --> 00:34:18.420
 God

00:34:18.420 --> 00:34:18.760
 doesn't

00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:24.599
 no

00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:24.920
 God

00:37:25.260 --> 00:37:25.440
 help

00:37:26.900 --> 00:37:28.700
 yes

00:37:28.700 --> 00:37:29.420
 Jesus

00:37:29.420 --> 00:37:29.880
 turned

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:30.780
 life

00:37:30.780 --> 00:37:31.079
 around

 cast

00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:42.099
 out

 seven

00:37:42.500 --> 00:37:42.920
 demons

 but no

00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:44.840
 he

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:45.220
 can't

00:37:45.220 --> 00:37:45.440
 cast

00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:45.619
 out

00:37:45.619 --> 00:37:45.760
 the

00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:46.079
 demons

00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:46.280
 that

00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:46.460
 I

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:46.740
 struggle

00:37:46.740 --> 00:37:46.900
 with

00:37:46.900 --> 00:37:47.019
 in

00:37:47.019 --> 00:37:47.220
 my

00:37:47.220 --> 00:37:47.579
 life

00:37:47.579 --> 00:37:49.039
 yes

00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:49.460
 Jesus

00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:50.000
 forgave

00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:50.460
 and called

00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:50.920
 Paul

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:51.420
 to be

00:37:51.420 --> 00:37:51.639
 his

00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:51.980
 servant

00:37:51.980 --> 00:37:52.480
 even though

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:52.819
 he was

00:37:52.819 --> 00:37:53.000
 a

00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:53.619
 persecutor

00:37:53.619 --> 00:37:53.880
 of the

00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:54.139
 church

00:37:54.139 --> 00:37:55.119
 blasphemer

00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:55.699
 of God

00:37:55.699 --> 00:37:56.599
 but no

00:37:56.599 --> 00:37:57.119
 he can't

00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:57.340
 ever

00:37:57.340 --> 00:37:57.719
 forgive

00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:58.000
 me

00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:58.539
 of my

00:37:58.539 --> 00:37:59.000
 sins

00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.819
 you have

00:38:01.819 --> 00:38:02.059
 faith

00:38:02.059 --> 00:38:02.659
 in God

00:38:02.659 --> 00:38:03.199
 yes

00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:03.860
 but is

00:38:03.860 --> 00:38:04.139
 he

00:38:04.139 --> 00:38:04.639
 only

00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:04.819
 the

00:38:04.819 --> 00:38:05.000
 God

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:05.219
 of the

00:38:05.219 --> 00:38:05.639
 past

00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:09.119
 is

00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:09.299
 your

00:38:09.299 --> 00:38:09.779
 faith

00:38:09.779 --> 00:38:10.000
 in

00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:10.259
 God

00:38:10.259 --> 00:38:10.480
 a

00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:10.739
 mere

00:38:10.739 --> 00:38:11.460
 monument

00:38:11.460 --> 00:38:11.679
 to

00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:11.840
 the

00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:12.159
 dead

00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:15.679
 don't

00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:16.079
 forget

00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:17.279
 brothers

00:38:17.279 --> 00:38:17.699
 and sisters

00:38:17.699 --> 00:38:18.159
 know

00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:18.440
 the

00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:18.920
 power

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:19.259
 of

00:38:19.259 --> 00:38:19.659
 God

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:20.099
 he

00:38:20.099 --> 00:38:20.279
 is

00:38:20.279 --> 00:38:20.759
 not

00:38:20.759 --> 00:38:21.380
 God

00:38:21.380 --> 00:38:21.619
 of

00:38:21.619 --> 00:38:21.759
 the

00:38:21.759 --> 00:38:22.239
 dead

00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:22.739
 but

00:38:22.739 --> 00:38:23.119
 of

00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:23.519
 the

00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:23.880
 living

00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:28.500
 finally

00:38:28.500 --> 00:38:28.779
 let's

00:38:28.779 --> 00:38:29.099
 talk about

00:38:29.099 --> 00:38:29.639
 resurrection

00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:30.059
 life

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:31.440
 as I said

00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:31.619
 to you

00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:31.840
 earlier

00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:32.079
 it's

00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:32.420
 interesting

00:38:32.420 --> 00:38:32.639
 that

00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:32.920
 Jesus

00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:33.079
 and

00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:33.199
 the

00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:33.639
 Sadducees

00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:34.000
 speak

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:34.219
 of

00:38:34.219 --> 00:38:34.460
 the

00:38:34.460 --> 00:38:34.920
 resurrection

00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:35.460
 repeatedly

00:38:35.460 --> 00:38:35.759
 in this

00:38:35.759 --> 00:38:36.019
 passage

00:38:36.019 --> 00:38:36.319
 when in

00:38:36.319 --> 00:38:36.679
 reality

00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:36.900
 they're

00:38:36.900 --> 00:38:37.179
 speaking

00:38:37.179 --> 00:38:37.340
 of

00:38:37.340 --> 00:38:37.460
 the

00:38:37.460 --> 00:38:37.980
 afterlife

00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:39.880
 the

00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:40.380
 intermediate

00:38:40.380 --> 00:38:40.799
 state

00:38:40.799 --> 00:38:41.019
 the

00:38:41.019 --> 00:38:41.579
 disembodied

00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:41.980
 souls

00:38:41.980 --> 00:38:42.179
 in

00:38:42.179 --> 00:38:42.440
 heaven

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:43.480
 we

00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:43.679
 will

00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:44.000
 not

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:44.239
 be

00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:44.759
 resurrected

00:38:44.759 --> 00:38:45.639
 immediately

00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:46.299
 after

00:38:46.299 --> 00:38:46.699
 death

00:38:46.699 --> 00:38:48.000
 according

00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:48.179
 to

00:38:48.179 --> 00:38:48.460
 revelation

00:38:48.460 --> 00:38:48.839
 20

00:38:48.839 --> 00:38:49.019
 that

00:38:49.019 --> 00:38:49.259
 doesn't

00:38:49.259 --> 00:38:49.539
 happen

00:38:49.539 --> 00:38:49.799
 until

00:38:49.799 --> 00:38:50.179
 Christ

00:38:50.179 --> 00:38:50.819
 returns

00:38:50.819 --> 00:38:51.579
 and

00:38:51.579 --> 00:38:51.900
 raises

00:38:51.900 --> 00:38:52.279
 us

00:38:52.279 --> 00:38:53.400
 in

00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:53.519
 a

00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:53.779
 bodily

00:38:53.779 --> 00:38:54.279
 resurrection

00:38:54.279 --> 00:38:54.920
 so

00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:55.279
 why

00:38:55.279 --> 00:38:55.539
 then

00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:55.819
 do

00:38:55.819 --> 00:38:56.079
 the

00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:56.500
 Sadducees

00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:56.659
 and

00:38:56.659 --> 00:38:56.920
 Jesus

00:38:56.920 --> 00:38:57.139
 here

00:38:57.139 --> 00:38:57.420
 speak

00:38:57.420 --> 00:38:57.579
 of

00:38:57.579 --> 00:38:57.699
 the

00:38:57.699 --> 00:38:58.159
 resurrection

00:38:58.159 --> 00:38:59.299
 the

00:38:59.299 --> 00:38:59.559
 first

00:38:59.559 --> 00:38:59.859
 reason

00:38:59.859 --> 00:39:00.059
 is

00:39:00.059 --> 00:39:00.259
 what

00:39:00.259 --> 00:39:00.379
 I

00:39:00.379 --> 00:39:00.559
 said

00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:01.000
 earlier

00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:01.500
 that

00:39:01.500 --> 00:39:01.679
 the

00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:02.179
 Sadducees

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:02.719
 denial

00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:03.059
 of

00:39:03.059 --> 00:39:03.539
 spirits

00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:03.819
 and

00:39:03.819 --> 00:39:04.239
 angels

00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:04.460
 was

00:39:04.460 --> 00:39:04.679
 of

00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:04.920
 one

00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:05.539
 piece

00:39:05.539 --> 00:39:06.299
 with

00:39:06.299 --> 00:39:06.500
 their

00:39:06.500 --> 00:39:06.920
 denial

00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:07.119
 of

00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:07.239
 the

00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:07.699
 resurrection

00:39:07.699 --> 00:39:08.619
 their

00:39:08.619 --> 00:39:09.379
 interrelated

00:39:09.379 --> 00:39:10.699
 interdependent

00:39:10.699 --> 00:39:11.420
 doctrines

00:39:11.420 --> 00:39:12.199
 so

00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:12.460
 when

00:39:12.460 --> 00:39:12.960
 Jesus

00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:13.559
 proves

00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:13.799
 from

00:39:13.799 --> 00:39:14.019
 the

00:39:14.019 --> 00:39:14.319
 scripture

00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:15.200
 that

00:39:15.200 --> 00:39:15.400
 the

00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:15.700
 dead

00:39:15.700 --> 00:39:16.559
 patriarchs

00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:16.680
 are

00:39:16.680 --> 00:39:17.039
 somehow

00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:17.500
 still

00:39:17.500 --> 00:39:18.220
 living

00:39:18.220 --> 00:39:18.920
 after

00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:19.320
 physical

00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:19.700
 death

00:39:19.700 --> 00:39:20.860
 the

00:39:20.860 --> 00:39:21.720
 Sadducees

00:39:21.720 --> 00:39:22.480
 materialist

00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:22.880
 view

00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:23.140
 of

00:39:23.140 --> 00:39:23.600
 life

00:39:23.600 --> 00:39:23.800
 and

00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:23.980
 their

00:39:23.980 --> 00:39:24.500
 terminal

00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:24.840
 view

00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:25.080
 of

00:39:25.080 --> 00:39:25.480
 death

00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:26.019
 crumble

00:39:26.019 --> 00:39:26.460
 down

00:39:26.460 --> 00:39:28.980
 and

00:39:28.980 --> 00:39:29.260
 along

00:39:29.260 --> 00:39:29.460
 with

00:39:29.460 --> 00:39:29.599
 that

00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:29.760
 their

00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:30.139
 denial

00:39:30.139 --> 00:39:30.360
 of

00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:30.480
 the

00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:30.920
 resurrection

00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:31.440
 crumbles

00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:31.800
 down

00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:33.800
 so

00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:34.059
 if

00:39:34.059 --> 00:39:34.480
 there

00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:34.639
 is

00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:34.800
 a

00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:35.059
 post

00:39:35.059 --> 00:39:35.480
 mortem

00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:36.059
 life

00:39:36.059 --> 00:39:36.639
 of

00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:36.800
 the

00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:37.119
 soul

00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:37.360
 then

00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:37.559
 it

00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:38.199
 logically

00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:39.199
 anticipates

00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:39.880
 a future

00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:40.420
 bodily

00:39:40.420 --> 00:39:41.019
 resurrection

00:39:41.019 --> 00:39:41.740
 like

00:39:41.740 --> 00:39:42.079
 that

00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:42.559
 dormant

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:42.760
 but

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:43.099
 still

00:39:43.099 --> 00:39:43.500
 living

00:39:43.500 --> 00:39:43.980
 seed

00:39:43.980 --> 00:39:44.300
 that's

00:39:44.300 --> 00:39:44.500
 buried

00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:44.639
 in

00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:44.740
 the

00:39:44.740 --> 00:39:45.019
 ground

00:39:45.019 --> 00:39:45.539
 living

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:45.920
 souls

00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:46.079
 will

00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:46.199
 be

00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:46.460
 raised

00:39:46.460 --> 00:39:46.639
 to

00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:46.980
 new

00:39:46.980 --> 00:39:47.679
 resurrection

00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:48.199
 bodies

00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:49.840
 and

00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:50.039
 that's

00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:50.159
 why

00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:50.320
 it's

00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:50.519
 fitting

00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:50.760
 for them

00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:51.099
 to speak

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:51.240
 of

00:39:51.240 --> 00:39:51.639
 resurrection

00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:51.960
 here

00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:52.740
 and

00:39:52.740 --> 00:39:53.139
 secondly

00:39:53.139 --> 00:39:53.679
 I

00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:53.860
 think

00:39:53.860 --> 00:39:54.039
 it's

00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:54.199
 no

00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:54.659
 coincidence

00:39:54.659 --> 00:39:55.019
 that

00:39:55.019 --> 00:39:55.179
 the

00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:55.579
 resurrection

00:39:55.579 --> 00:39:55.940
 is

00:39:55.940 --> 00:39:56.099
 the

00:39:56.099 --> 00:39:56.440
 theme

00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:56.599
 of

00:39:56.599 --> 00:39:56.879
 Jesus'

00:39:57.099 --> 00:39:57.460
 debate

00:39:57.460 --> 00:39:57.659
 with

00:39:57.659 --> 00:39:57.819
 the

00:39:57.819 --> 00:39:58.359
 Sadducees

00:39:58.359 --> 00:39:58.859
 in

00:39:58.859 --> 00:39:59.019
 the

00:39:59.019 --> 00:39:59.420
 last

00:39:59.420 --> 00:39:59.799
 few

00:39:59.799 --> 00:40:00.199
 days

00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:00.359
 of

00:40:00.359 --> 00:40:00.699
 his

00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:01.179
 life

00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:02.099
 before

00:40:02.099 --> 00:40:02.319
 he

00:40:02.319 --> 00:40:02.859
 dies

00:40:02.859 --> 00:40:03.000
 on

00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:03.119
 the

00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:03.500
 cross

00:40:03.500 --> 00:40:04.000
 and

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:04.420
 is

00:40:04.420 --> 00:40:05.039
 physically

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:05.899
 raised

00:40:05.899 --> 00:40:06.259
 from

00:40:06.259 --> 00:40:06.440
 the

00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:06.679
 dead

00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:08.819
 the

00:40:08.819 --> 00:40:09.420
 Sadducees

00:40:09.420 --> 00:40:09.699
 say

00:40:09.699 --> 00:40:09.879
 that

00:40:09.879 --> 00:40:10.019
 there

00:40:10.019 --> 00:40:10.139
 is

00:40:10.139 --> 00:40:10.259
 no

00:40:10.259 --> 00:40:10.739
 resurrection

00:40:10.739 --> 00:40:11.699
 but

00:40:11.699 --> 00:40:11.819
 if

00:40:11.819 --> 00:40:11.940
 they

00:40:11.940 --> 00:40:12.099
 are

00:40:12.099 --> 00:40:12.359
 right

00:40:12.359 --> 00:40:12.599
 then

00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:13.059
 Christ

00:40:13.059 --> 00:40:13.339
 could

00:40:13.339 --> 00:40:13.599
 not

00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:13.839
 have

00:40:13.839 --> 00:40:14.000
 been

00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:14.299
 raised

00:40:14.299 --> 00:40:14.480
 from

00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:14.639
 the

00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:14.879
 dead

00:40:14.879 --> 00:40:16.719
 for

00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:16.980
 if

00:40:16.980 --> 00:40:17.239
 the

00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:17.579
 dead

00:40:17.579 --> 00:40:17.759
 are

00:40:17.759 --> 00:40:18.039
 not

00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:18.460
 raised

00:40:18.460 --> 00:40:18.879
 not

00:40:18.879 --> 00:40:19.179
 even

00:40:19.179 --> 00:40:19.739
 Christ

00:40:19.739 --> 00:40:20.019
 has

00:40:20.019 --> 00:40:20.179
 been

00:40:20.179 --> 00:40:20.559
 raised

00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:21.119
 and

00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:21.299
 if

00:40:21.300 --> 00:40:21.780
 Christ

00:40:21.780 --> 00:40:21.980
 has

00:40:21.980 --> 00:40:22.220
 not

00:40:22.220 --> 00:40:22.420
 been

00:40:22.420 --> 00:40:22.700
 raised

00:40:22.700 --> 00:40:22.980
 your

00:40:22.980 --> 00:40:23.500
 faith

00:40:23.500 --> 00:40:23.780
 is

00:40:23.780 --> 00:40:24.519
 futile

00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:24.920
 and

00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:25.080
 you

00:40:25.080 --> 00:40:25.240
 are

00:40:25.240 --> 00:40:25.660
 still

00:40:25.660 --> 00:40:26.080
 in

00:40:26.080 --> 00:40:26.340
 your

00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:26.920
 sins

00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:28.360
 then

00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:28.720
 those

00:40:28.720 --> 00:40:28.980
 who

00:40:28.980 --> 00:40:29.820
 also

00:40:29.820 --> 00:40:30.060
 have

00:40:30.060 --> 00:40:30.380
 fallen

00:40:30.380 --> 00:40:30.720
 asleep

00:40:30.720 --> 00:40:30.920
 in

00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:31.200
 Christ

00:40:31.200 --> 00:40:31.420
 have

00:40:31.420 --> 00:40:31.900
 perished

00:40:31.900 --> 00:40:32.560
 if

00:40:32.560 --> 00:40:32.740
 in

00:40:32.740 --> 00:40:33.140
 Christ

00:40:33.140 --> 00:40:33.380
 we

00:40:33.380 --> 00:40:33.519
 have

00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:33.880
 hope

00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:34.100
 in

00:40:34.100 --> 00:40:34.420
 this

00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:34.720
 life

00:40:34.720 --> 00:40:35.100
 only

00:40:35.100 --> 00:40:35.600
 we

00:40:35.600 --> 00:40:35.740
 are

00:40:35.740 --> 00:40:35.920
 of

00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:36.240
 all

00:40:40.720 --> 00:40:41.800

00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:42.160
 on the

00:40:42.600 --> 00:40:42.980
 of the

 resurrection

00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:46.680
 I read

00:40:59.200 --> 00:40:59.780
 research

00:40:59.780 --> 00:41:00.320
 into a

00:41:02.019 --> 00:41:02.860
 priority

00:41:02.860 --> 00:41:05.320
 and he

00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:05.460
 has

00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:05.940
 discussed

 organ

00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:07.280
 transplants

00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:07.559
 as a

00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:07.800
 way of

00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:08.180
 achieving

00:41:08.180 --> 00:41:08.800
 a form

00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:09.019
 of

00:41:09.019 --> 00:41:09.840
 immortality

00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:10.100
 by

00:41:10.100 --> 00:41:10.600
 continually

00:41:10.600 --> 00:41:11.480
 replacing

00:41:13.160 --> 00:41:13.620
 parts

00:41:13.620 --> 00:41:14.900
 it's

00:41:14.900 --> 00:41:15.180
 kind of

00:41:15.180 --> 00:41:15.480
 sickening

00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:15.780
 I wonder

00:41:15.780 --> 00:41:16.120
 where he'll

00:41:16.120 --> 00:41:16.400

00:41:16.600 --> 00:41:17.000
 parts

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:19.340
 but he

00:41:19.340 --> 00:41:19.920
 is 73

00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:21.600
 years old

00:41:21.600 --> 00:41:21.900
 now

00:41:21.900 --> 00:41:23.240
 and I

00:41:23.240 --> 00:41:24.100
 guarantee

00:41:24.100 --> 00:41:24.579
 you

00:41:24.579 --> 00:41:25.980
 guarantee

00:41:25.980 --> 00:41:26.640
 you

00:41:26.640 --> 00:41:27.500
 that even

00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:28.000
 if he

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:28.539
 creates

00:41:28.539 --> 00:41:29.000
 some

00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:29.320
 kind

00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:29.500
 of

00:41:29.500 --> 00:41:30.460
 Frankenstein's

00:41:30.460 --> 00:41:30.860

00:41:30.860 --> 00:41:31.180

00:41:32.600 --> 00:41:33.059
 already

00:41:33.059 --> 00:41:33.400
 in the

00:41:33.700 --> 00:41:33.940

00:44:09.799 --> 00:44:10.279
 died

00:44:10.279 --> 00:44:11.239
 and

00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:11.459

 says
