00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.540
 Let me pray for the reading and preaching of God's word.

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:07.400
 Heavenly Father, you are the God of truth.

00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:10.679
! Heavenly Father, you are the God of truth.

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.800
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:45.700
 That we might be transformed to be more Christ-like in our truth-telling and in our bearing witness to the truth of the gospel.

00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:55.560
 So, Lord, now meet with us and give us the humility that we need and the faith that we need to hear your word.

00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.859
 In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.760
 If you are able, please stand for the reading of God's word to honor God who has spoken to us in his word.

00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.400
 Matthew 5, 33-37.

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.799
 Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old,

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.960
 You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.

00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:25.299
 But I say to you,

00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:36.200
 Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king.

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:42.439
 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:46.560
 Let what you say be simply yes or no.

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.020
 Anything more than this comes from evil.

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:52.439
 This is God's holy and authoritative word.

00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:53.099
 Please be seated.

00:01:53.099 --> 00:01:59.780
 Just to remind you, we've been on a three-week hiatus from the book of Matthew,

00:01:59.899 --> 00:02:04.039
 but we are returning to the series, and we are in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount,

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:09.479
 which is the largest block, or the first block, of Jesus' five major bodies of teaching in the book of Matthew.

00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:16.400
 And this passage comes on the heels of Jesus' teaching about murder, and adultery, and divorce.

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:23.400
 And after talking about such heavy topics, the topic of breaking an oath or swearing falsely may seem,

00:02:24.099 --> 00:02:29.500
 or in short, to summarize it, lying, might seem somewhat trivial to many of us.

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.599
 After all, don't we all take it for granted that whoever tells you that he never lies is lying?

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:43.319
 But this is no trivial topic.

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.680
 Revelation 21.8 tells us that as for all liars,

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.039
 their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.

00:02:58.359 --> 00:03:01.400
 It is a matter of life and death, what we talk about.

00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:03.659
 It's a matter of heaven and hell.

00:03:03.659 --> 00:03:11.759
 Well, God takes lying very seriously because he describes himself as the God of truth in Isaiah 65.16.

00:03:12.740 --> 00:03:17.120
 He says the sum of his word is truth in Psalm 119.160.

00:03:17.900 --> 00:03:21.000
 He says he never lies in Titus 1.2.

00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:28.419
 In contrast, John 8.55 calls the devil a liar and a father of lies.

00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:35.019
 So people who lie are acting like the devil and not like God.

00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.379
 They are betraying their true paternity.

00:03:39.579 --> 00:03:43.519
 That they belong not to God the Father, but to the father of lies.

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.719
 That alone is enough reason to pay utmost attention to this passage.

00:03:49.279 --> 00:03:53.439
 But there are still more reasons why Jesus' teaching on this subject matter is so important.

00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.599
 A few weeks ago, when we were talking about verses 27 to 32,

00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:03.819
 we addressed how pervasive adultery and divorce are in our world and in our society.

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:10.259
 And how they are eroding the foundation of our society by breaking and destroying marriages.

00:04:11.379 --> 00:04:13.180
 And breaking families apart.

00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:16.620
 That's all true.

00:04:17.139 --> 00:04:18.879
 And that's still a very pervasive sin.

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.060
 But I would argue that breaking oaths and swearing falsely is an even more pervasive sin.

00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:30.620
 Because if you think about it, every single instance of adultery,

00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:35.680
 every single instance of divorce is an instance of oath-breaking.

00:04:36.939 --> 00:04:42.819
 Because a man and a woman enter into the covenant of marriage by making vows to one another.

00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:47.319
 In the name of God,

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.459
 I shone, take you, Hannah, to be my wife,

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.540
 to have and to hold from this day forward,

00:04:53.780 --> 00:04:56.680
 for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,

00:04:56.780 --> 00:04:58.900
 in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,

00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:01.340
 until death do us part.

00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:06.100
 This is my solemn vow.

00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:12.700
 If everyone kept their marriage vows,

00:05:13.080 --> 00:05:14.080
 there would be no adultery.

00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:15.980
 There would be no divorce.

00:05:17.140 --> 00:05:20.680
 I have a friend who is in the middle of

00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.040
 pursuing a wife who is in ongoing adultery.

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:28.680
 And even though it is well past the point

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.939
 where most men would have abandoned the project altogether,

00:05:33.740 --> 00:05:40.240
 he continues to pray for his wife and pursue reconciliation.

00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:42.639
 Why?

00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.399
 He often repeats the same words.

00:05:48.740 --> 00:05:49.579
 I made a vow.

00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:52.459
 I made a vow.

00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:58.659
 It's not a coincidence that this passage comes immediately

00:05:58.659 --> 00:06:01.459
 after the passage about divorce.

00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:05.759
 But breaking oaths and swearing falsely

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.259
 goes far beyond marriage vows.

00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:12.099
 How many witnesses have gone to court

00:06:12.099 --> 00:06:15.060
 and have said with their right hand up in the air,

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.039
 I do solemnly swear that the testimony I shall give

00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:21.459
 is the truth, to be the truth, the whole truth,

00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:22.860
 and nothing but the truth.

00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.740
 Only afterward to perjure themselves

00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:29.620
 and bear false witness against their neighbors

00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:31.839
 so that the innocent are punished and the wicked are freed.

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.560
 How many healthcare professionals

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.879
 have taken the Hippocratic oath,

00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.740
 swearing that they will do no harm,

00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:44.920
 and yet have over-prescribed opioids,

00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:48.259
 performed unnecessary procedures for profit?

00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:50.759
 How many of them have played God

00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.279
 in taking life and not merely saving life?

00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.180
 How many of them have abused sedated patients

00:06:56.180 --> 00:06:58.060
 who are entrusted to their care,

00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.259
 as some of our own members have experienced?

00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.959
 How many politicians and public servants,

00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.039
 after taking an oath to uphold the Constitution

00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:08.879
 and faithfully execute their duties,

00:07:09.359 --> 00:07:10.879
 invoking the name of God,

00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.739
 saying, so help me God,

00:07:14.419 --> 00:07:16.919
 have violated those very commitments

00:07:16.919 --> 00:07:19.939
 and been impeached

00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:21.620
 or have been forced to resign?

00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:25.639
 How many journalists have signed on

00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:26.879
 to the journalist's creeds,

00:07:27.019 --> 00:07:28.439
 affirming that the public journal

00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:29.639
 is a public trust,

00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:31.759
 and that they are trustees for the public

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.120
 and agree to pursue accuracy and fairness

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:35.279
 in all their work,

00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.219
 only to spread willingly or unknowingly

00:07:39.219 --> 00:07:41.319
 or unknowingly false

00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.379
 or misleading information to the public?

00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:47.060
 It's no wonder that in 2018,

00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:48.839
 the Edelman Trust Barometer reported

00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.300
 a record-breaking 37-point drop

00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:53.819
 in public trust across all U.S. institutions.

00:07:53.819 --> 00:07:58.420
 According to 2024 reports,

00:07:58.540 --> 00:08:00.240
 60% of people in the U.S.

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.899
 worry that journalists and reporters

00:08:01.899 --> 00:08:05.159
 are purposely trying to mislead people

00:08:05.159 --> 00:08:06.379
 by saying things they know

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:08.240
 are false or gross exaggerations.

00:08:09.379 --> 00:08:09.939
 60%.

00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:12.939
 70% of them worry that government leaders

00:08:12.939 --> 00:08:13.779
 are doing the same.

00:08:16.459 --> 00:08:18.860
 Public trust has eroded so much

00:08:18.860 --> 00:08:21.300
 that we now have dedicated fact-checkers,

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:24.259
 PolitiFact, FactCheck.org,

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:25.900
 Snopes, Reuters, FactCheck.

00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:28.759
 But because these fact-checkers

00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.699
 also tend to be biased

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:32.580
 and share misleading information,

00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:34.320
 now we have fact-checkers

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.000
 of fact-checkers.

00:08:39.340 --> 00:08:41.799
 Like Media Bias slash Fact Check,

00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:44.460
 International Fact-Checking Network,

00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:46.519
 AllSides.com,

00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:49.180
 which I am sure does not include all sides.

00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:50.139
 Yeah.

00:08:51.299 --> 00:08:54.419
 In such an age,

00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.519
 Jesus teaches us to be set apart

00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:57.259
 from the world.

00:08:57.819 --> 00:09:00.059
 He tells us to be simple truth-tellers

00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:02.759
 who need no oaths.

00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:08.519
 I'm going to talk about this important passage

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:09.139
 in three parts.

00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:10.459
 First, keep your oath.

00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.379
 Second, take no oath.

00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.199
 And then third, remember God's oath.

00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:21.720
 First, Jesus addresses the Old Testament command

00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:23.820
 to keep the vows one makes to God

00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:24.520
 in verse 33.

00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:25.320
 Again,

00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:27.200
 you have heard that it was said

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:27.980
 to those of old,

00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.780
 you shall not swear falsely,

00:09:30.040 --> 00:09:31.600
 but shall perform to the Lord

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:32.820
 what you have sworn.

00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:34.840
 Many Old Testament passages

00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.020
 deal with this subject

00:09:36.020 --> 00:09:37.740
 of swearing by God's name.

00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:39.460
 It's connected to the third

00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:40.580
 of the Ten Commandments

00:09:40.580 --> 00:09:41.879
 in Exodus 20.

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:42.220
 It says,

00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:43.460
 You shall not take the name

00:09:43.460 --> 00:09:45.060
 of the Lord your God in vain,

00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.779
 for the Lord will not hold him guiltless

00:09:47.779 --> 00:09:49.580
 who takes his name in vain.

00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:55.060
 Jesus is here addressing two related issues.

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.899
 First is making a vow to God.

00:09:58.019 --> 00:10:00.399
 Second is swearing an oath.

00:10:01.160 --> 00:10:03.519
 We see the distinction of those two things,

00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:04.740
 a vow and an oath,

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:06.879
 in Numbers chapter 30 verse 2.

00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:07.679
 It says,

00:10:07.779 --> 00:10:09.779
 If a man vows a vow to the Lord

00:10:09.779 --> 00:10:11.139
 or swears an oath

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:13.539
 to bind himself by a pledge,

00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:15.779
 he shall not break his word.

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:17.679
 He shall do according to all

00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:19.620
 that proceeds out of his mouth.

00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:21.299
 When you make a vow,

00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:23.960
 you make a solemn promise to God

00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:25.939
 saying that you will perform

00:10:25.939 --> 00:10:26.840
 a certain action.

00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:29.379
 When you take an oath,

00:10:29.740 --> 00:10:31.700
 you're making a solemn promise

00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:33.559
 or a statement to someone else,

00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:34.460
 to another person,

00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:37.060
 while invoking the name of God

00:10:37.060 --> 00:10:39.240
 and to undergird your statement,

00:10:40.060 --> 00:10:43.160
 to basically boost and bolster your statement.

00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:47.360
 I vow to give half of my possessions to you,

00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:47.820
 oh God.

00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:48.820
 That's a vow.

00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:50.340
 You're promising to God

00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:51.540
 something that you will do.

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.160
 When your professor is questioning

00:10:54.160 --> 00:10:55.820
 the authenticity of your paper,

00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:57.440
 and then you say,

00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.900
 I swear to God that I wrote this paper

00:11:00.900 --> 00:11:02.139
 and not ChatGPT.

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:05.639
 And if that's not true,

00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:08.379
 then I can fail all my classes.

00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:11.120
 That's swearing an oath,

00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:12.799
 invoking the name of God

00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.600
 to prove the veracity of a statement

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:15.399
 that you are making.

00:11:15.980 --> 00:11:16.580
 So technically,

00:11:16.699 --> 00:11:17.879
 these two things are distinct,

00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:18.960
 swearing an oath

00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:20.500
 and making a vow.

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:21.080
 However,

00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:22.740
 Jesus is addressing both of those things

00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:24.120
 because they're intimately related

00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:25.019
 and at the heart of it,

00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:25.799
 they're the same.

00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:29.159
 The Old Testament repeatedly taught

00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.580
 that one must pay what one vowed.

00:11:32.139 --> 00:11:33.220
 It says,

00:11:33.340 --> 00:11:35.939
 it is better that you should not vow

00:11:35.939 --> 00:11:38.199
 than that you should vow and not pay,

00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:39.939
 Ecclesiastes 5, 4 to 6.

00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:41.299
 In fact,

00:11:41.439 --> 00:11:42.419
 Deuteronomy 23,

00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:43.720
 21 to 23 says,

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:44.720
 that the Lord your God

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.000
 will surely require the vow of you

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.519
 and you will be guilty of sin.

00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:53.500
 Why does God take oaths so seriously?

00:11:53.699 --> 00:11:55.220
 Isaiah 65, 16

00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:56.840
 specifically commands us

00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.360
 only to swear by the name of God,

00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.960
 by the God of truth

00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.200
 because his name,

00:12:02.259 --> 00:12:03.560
 he's the unchanging God,

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.060
 he's the eternal God,

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.340
 he's the God who is truth itself

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:09.519
 and therefore his name is the only one

00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.200
 that can really undergird an oath.

00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:16.960
 So Leviticus 19, 12 says,

00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.300
 you shall not swear by my name falsely

00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:22.419
 and so profane the name of your God.

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:24.059
 I am the Lord.

00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:28.039
 To take an oath in God's name

00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:29.699
 and to not keep it

00:12:29.699 --> 00:12:31.879
 is to declare by your actions

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.439
 that God is a liar.

00:12:36.699 --> 00:12:38.740
 To make an oath and to not keep it

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:40.199
 is to declare by your actions

00:12:40.199 --> 00:12:42.620
 that God does not keep his promises,

00:12:42.839 --> 00:12:43.879
 that God's name,

00:12:44.199 --> 00:12:45.199
 that his reputation

00:12:45.199 --> 00:12:47.879
 is now marred by that sin.

00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:52.200
 And that's why the Old Testament saints

00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:53.340
 took swearing

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:55.519
 and keeping their vows so seriously.

00:12:57.019 --> 00:12:57.939
 Psalm 15, 4,

00:12:58.019 --> 00:12:59.200
 I've mentioned this in Ecclesiastes,

00:12:59.439 --> 00:13:00.399
 describes the person

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.120
 who walks blamelessly before God

00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.080
 as one who swears to his own hurt

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:06.720
 and does not change.

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:08.299
 Meaning that this person,

00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:09.159
 a godly person,

00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:10.100
 a righteous person

00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:13.659
 would rather suffer personal loss

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:16.019
 than break his word.

00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:18.379
 not keep his word.

00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:21.360
 How many people like that do you know

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:23.919
 in this day and age?

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.279
 More often people break their promises

00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:27.779
 and say,

00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:28.620
 oh, I'm sorry.

00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.340
 My circumstances changed.

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:34.740
 And by those statements,

00:13:34.939 --> 00:13:36.939
 we betray the reality

00:13:36.939 --> 00:13:39.500
 that our words are only as good

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:40.740
 as our uncontrollable,

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:42.980
 ever-changing circumstances.

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:48.019
 But God delights in the person

00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:49.639
 who swears to his own hurt

00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:50.740
 and does not change.

00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:52.539
 And for that reason,

00:13:53.019 --> 00:13:55.440
 it's also a grave mistake

00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.279
 and a sin to swear

00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.720
 and to take an oath rashly

00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.139
 in a circumstance

00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:02.759
 where you should not be taking an oath.

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.279
 The Bible includes

00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:06.180
 several cautionary tales for us,

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:07.379
 perhaps most notoriously

00:14:07.379 --> 00:14:09.440
 in Judges 11, 30 to 39.

00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.820
 Jephthah, a judge,

00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:11.600
 an Israeli judge,

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.659
 makes a vow to the Lord saying,

00:14:14.460 --> 00:14:16.340
 if you help me defeat the Ammonites,

00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:17.139
 you know,

00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:18.960
 when I return home to celebrate,

00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:20.820
 whatever comes out the door

00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:21.940
 of my house first,

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.220
 I will offer to you

00:14:23.220 --> 00:14:24.200
 as a burnt offering.

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:25.639
 Man,

00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:28.060
 I don't know what the guy was thinking.

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:30.220
 What was he expecting,

00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:30.680
 I wonder,

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:31.840
 to come out of his house

00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:32.840
 to greet him?

00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:34.659
 I hope he had a dog.

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:35.500
 You know,

00:14:35.800 --> 00:14:37.080
 I'm sorry if you love dogs

00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:38.759
 because what happened

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:39.440
 is much,

00:14:39.560 --> 00:14:40.060
 much worse.

00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:41.700
 Out comes his daughter,

00:14:42.400 --> 00:14:44.700
 his only daughter,

00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:46.720
 his only child,

00:14:47.460 --> 00:14:48.500
 a virgin maiden.

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:52.220
 And this guy,

00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.080
 he's the judge of Israel,

00:14:55.180 --> 00:14:56.480
 being the proud man that he is

00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.120
 and being a bad father that he is,

00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:01.160
 actually sacrifices her.

00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.860
 If you break the oath,

00:15:05.959 --> 00:15:07.319
 you break the third commandment.

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:09.379
 If you keep the oath,

00:15:09.459 --> 00:15:11.019
 you break the sixth commandment.

00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.259
 He should have never

00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:15.719
 put himself in that situation.

00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.899
 In Joshua 9,

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:21.220
 the Israelites bind themselves

00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:21.840
 with an oath

00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:22.700
 not to go war

00:15:22.700 --> 00:15:23.680
 against the Gibeonites,

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.060
 not knowing that Gibeonites

00:15:25.060 --> 00:15:25.680
 are actually

00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:26.720
 a neighboring

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.680
 nation

00:15:28.680 --> 00:15:30.620
 in the land of Canaan

00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:32.080
 that God has commanded them

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:33.399
 to drive out of Canaan.

00:15:36.180 --> 00:15:36.920
 So now,

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:38.240
 if they keep the oath

00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:38.759
 that they made,

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:39.000
 they

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:40.800
 sin,

00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:42.759
 break the commandment of God.

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:44.259
 If they break the oath,

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:45.040
 they also sin.

00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.379
 And break the commandment of God.

00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:50.320
 A lose-lose situation

00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:51.940
 that they should have never been in

00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:54.320
 if they had not made a rash vow.

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:58.060
 1 Samuel 14,

00:15:58.160 --> 00:15:58.940
 24-30,

00:15:59.100 --> 00:16:00.700
 King Saul is leading the Israelites

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:02.500
 in charge against the Philistines.

00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:03.940
 And his son,

00:16:04.040 --> 00:16:04.379
 Jonathan,

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:05.160
 leads the charge

00:16:05.160 --> 00:16:07.180
 and wins the dim,

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:09.139
 the lone bright spot

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:10.120
 in their long war.

00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:11.139
 It was Jonathan's victory

00:16:11.139 --> 00:16:12.200
 over these Philistines.

00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:13.620
 But Saul,

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:15.560
 in his overzealousness

00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:16.599
 and foolishness,

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.119
 makes a vow saying,

00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:20.219
 anyone who eats anything

00:16:20.219 --> 00:16:21.699
 before I avenge myself

00:16:21.699 --> 00:16:22.519
 on my enemies

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.719
 shall die.

00:16:25.859 --> 00:16:27.019
 And they are surrounded

00:16:27.019 --> 00:16:28.079
 by the spoils

00:16:28.079 --> 00:16:28.799
 from their enemy

00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.139
 that they could feast upon

00:16:30.139 --> 00:16:31.279
 and to strengthen themselves

00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:32.419
 and to go on to war.

00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.279
 Honey is dripping out of trees

00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:34.759
 and they're just,

00:16:34.859 --> 00:16:35.719
 everybody's just staring

00:16:35.719 --> 00:16:36.459
 and not eating.

00:16:36.959 --> 00:16:37.839
 And they are faint

00:16:37.839 --> 00:16:38.539
 and they are unable

00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:39.619
 to win a great victory

00:16:39.619 --> 00:16:41.219
 because of that rash vow.

00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:43.080
 And not only that,

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:44.639
 Jonathan is unaware

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.340
 that his dad

00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:46.200
 has made such a vow

00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:47.220
 and then he takes some honey

00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:48.040
 and eats it

00:16:48.040 --> 00:16:52.100
 so that Saul nearly kills him

00:16:52.100 --> 00:16:54.320
 until it says

00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:55.820
 in 1 Samuel 14, 45,

00:16:56.820 --> 00:16:58.240
 that the people of Israel

00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:00.120
 ransomed Jonathan

00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.759
 with their own oath

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:02.519
 saying,

00:17:03.180 --> 00:17:04.180
 as the Lord lives,

00:17:04.620 --> 00:17:05.740
 there shall not one hair

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.259
 of his head

00:17:06.259 --> 00:17:07.019
 fall to the ground

00:17:07.019 --> 00:17:07.940
 for he has worked

00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:09.220
 with God this day.

00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:11.400
 It was an oath

00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:12.160
 that Saul should have

00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:12.680
 never taken.

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.259
 All that to say,

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:16.660
 Old Testament takes

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.960
 taking oaths

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.980
 very seriously

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:19.839
 and it does not

00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:21.079
 prohibit oath taking

00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:22.480
 but it does demand

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:23.480
 oath keeping

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:24.700
 once it's taken.

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:27.500
 Why then does Jesus

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:28.440
 command us

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.420
 in the following verses

00:17:29.420 --> 00:17:31.140
 not to take an oath

00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:31.819
 at all?

00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:34.220
 That's my second point.

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:35.360
 Take no oath.

00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:37.660
 Jesus once again

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:39.160
 contrasts his own

00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:39.980
 teaching from that

00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:40.620
 of the traditional

00:17:40.620 --> 00:17:41.660
 Jewish understanding

00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:42.580
 of God's word.

00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:44.660
 In verses 33 to 34,

00:17:44.800 --> 00:17:45.000
 he says,

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:45.259
 Again,

00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:45.960
 you have heard

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:46.519
 that it was said

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:47.279
 to those of old,

00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:49.320
 you shall not swear falsely

00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:50.360
 but shall perform

00:17:50.360 --> 00:17:51.019
 to the Lord

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:52.019
 what you have sworn.

00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:54.640
 But I say to you,

00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:57.140
 do not take an oath

00:17:57.140 --> 00:17:57.779
 at all.

00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:01.040
 Jesus is again

00:18:01.040 --> 00:18:02.320
 positioning himself

00:18:02.320 --> 00:18:04.540
 as the divine law giver

00:18:04.540 --> 00:18:05.800
 because after all,

00:18:05.940 --> 00:18:07.120
 who can give such

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:08.079
 a definitive,

00:18:08.299 --> 00:18:09.399
 authoritative take

00:18:09.399 --> 00:18:10.539
 on the law of God

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:11.779
 overturning

00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:14.000
 millennia of legal precedents

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.339
 and theological tradition.

00:18:17.419 --> 00:18:18.759
 Remember in chapter 5,

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:19.779
 verse 17 to 20,

00:18:19.899 --> 00:18:21.479
 Jesus gave a definitive judgment

00:18:21.479 --> 00:18:22.679
 of the Old Testament law.

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:23.059
 He said,

00:18:23.439 --> 00:18:23.939
 I have not come

00:18:23.939 --> 00:18:24.959
 to abolish the law

00:18:24.959 --> 00:18:26.239
 but to fulfill the law.

00:18:26.779 --> 00:18:27.439
 For I tell you,

00:18:27.479 --> 00:18:28.399
 unless your righteousness

00:18:28.399 --> 00:18:30.639
 exceeds that of the scribes

00:18:30.639 --> 00:18:31.199
 and the Pharisees,

00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:32.079
 you will never enter

00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:32.879
 the kingdom of heaven.

00:18:33.439 --> 00:18:33.819
 And then,

00:18:33.939 --> 00:18:34.619
 as we've been in,

00:18:34.679 --> 00:18:35.299
 as we've been seeing

00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:36.599
 in the following six passages

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:37.279
 after that,

00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:38.740
 Jesus gives a series

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:40.680
 of six contrasts.

00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:42.419
 You have heard

00:18:42.419 --> 00:18:42.980
 that it was said

00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:43.960
 to the people of old

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:45.659
 but I say to you,

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:46.819
 contrasts,

00:18:47.159 --> 00:18:48.200
 six illustrations

00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.680
 to show

00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.019
 the inadequate righteousness

00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:52.799
 of the Pharisees

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:53.460
 and the scribes

00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:54.279
 and to show

00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:55.159
 the true righteousness

00:18:55.159 --> 00:18:56.039
 that God demands

00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:56.700
 that exceeds

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:57.639
 that of the Pharisees

00:18:57.639 --> 00:18:58.279
 and the scribes.

00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:02.899
 But this still raises

00:19:02.899 --> 00:19:03.319
 the question,

00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:04.819
 doesn't God actually

00:19:04.819 --> 00:19:06.879
 command his people

00:19:06.879 --> 00:19:08.700
 to take an oath

00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:09.379
 in the Old Testament?

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:11.559
 He does.

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.440
 In Exodus 20 to 11,

00:19:15.259 --> 00:19:16.240
 in Numbers 5,

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:17.259
 19 to 22,

00:19:17.460 --> 00:19:18.940
 he commands his people

00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:20.259
 to take oaths

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:21.299
 in certain situations.

00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:22.500
 So then,

00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:24.599
 isn't Jesus contradicting

00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:25.660
 and abolishing

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:26.379
 the law of God?

00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:29.280
 I don't think

00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:30.180
 that is the case.

00:19:30.280 --> 00:19:31.360
 The situation is similar

00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:32.400
 to the preceding passage

00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:33.180
 about divorce

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:34.720
 in verses 31 and 32.

00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:36.140
 God did make

00:19:36.140 --> 00:19:36.760
 a provision

00:19:36.760 --> 00:19:37.480
 in the scriptures

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.520
 for divorce

00:19:38.520 --> 00:19:39.780
 in the Old Testament

00:19:39.780 --> 00:19:41.680
 but as Jesus teaches

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.300
 later on

00:19:42.300 --> 00:19:43.100
 in Matthew 19,

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:43.600
 verse 8,

00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:45.020
 this was a concession

00:19:45.020 --> 00:19:46.280
 to the people's

00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:47.320
 hardness of heart.

00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:49.080
 It was not

00:19:49.080 --> 00:19:50.260
 God's original idea

00:19:50.260 --> 00:19:51.920
 for people to divorce.

00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:54.120
 God's standard,

00:19:54.600 --> 00:19:55.300
 his ideal,

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:56.000
 is that a man

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.819
 and a woman marry

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.579
 and they're married

00:19:57.579 --> 00:19:58.119
 for life

00:19:58.119 --> 00:19:58.740
 until death

00:19:58.740 --> 00:19:59.460
 do them part.

00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:00.819
 Divorce is only

00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:02.279
 a temporary provision

00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:03.299
 for a broken

00:20:03.299 --> 00:20:04.559
 and fallen world.

00:20:05.059 --> 00:20:05.759
 It's intended

00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:06.559
 to mitigate

00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.660
 human evil,

00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.559
 to constrain

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:09.500
 human evil,

00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:11.180
 not to establish

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:12.240
 the divine standard.

00:20:14.900 --> 00:20:16.220
 In our country,

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.779
 disclosing classified

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:19.880
 information is illegal

00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:21.240
 if you work

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.380
 for the federal government.

00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:23.620
 however,

00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:24.500
 at the same time,

00:20:25.220 --> 00:20:25.780
 there is

00:20:25.780 --> 00:20:26.880
 the Whistleblower

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:27.760
 Protection Act

00:20:27.760 --> 00:20:29.500
 which allows

00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:30.520
 federal government

00:20:30.520 --> 00:20:31.960
 employees to disclose

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:33.620
 classified information

00:20:33.620 --> 00:20:34.660
 as long as

00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:35.460
 it is intended

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:36.600
 to expose

00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:37.780
 government corruption.

00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:40.700
 Two seemingly

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:42.140
 contradictory laws

00:20:42.140 --> 00:20:42.760
 exist.

00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:43.780
 One says you cannot

00:20:43.780 --> 00:20:44.620
 disclose

00:20:44.620 --> 00:20:45.300
 classified information,

00:20:45.380 --> 00:20:46.400
 one says you can

00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:47.300
 and should disclose

00:20:47.300 --> 00:20:48.280
 classified information.

00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:49.539
 why do those

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:50.299
 laws exist?

00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:51.460
 Not because

00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:52.359
 it's good

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:53.139
 or it's right

00:20:53.139 --> 00:20:53.680
 that you should be

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:54.299
 leaking classified

00:20:54.299 --> 00:20:54.859
 information,

00:20:55.399 --> 00:20:56.180
 but because it's

00:20:56.180 --> 00:20:56.960
 taking into account

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:57.420
 the fact that

00:20:57.420 --> 00:20:58.299
 humans are fallen

00:20:58.299 --> 00:20:59.799
 and some officials

00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:00.480
 are corrupted

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:01.839
 and so there needs

00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:02.500
 to be some provision

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:03.319
 to account for

00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:03.960
 that reality.

00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:07.500
 Similarly,

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.440
 oaths were

00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:09.599
 instituted by God

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:10.879
 to contain

00:21:10.879 --> 00:21:12.319
 and minimize

00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:13.259
 the damage

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:14.440
 done by human

00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:15.680
 failure and lies.

00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:17.960
 humans are

00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:18.700
 deceptive

00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:20.039
 and untrustworthy

00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:21.019
 so often

00:21:21.019 --> 00:21:22.420
 that it was

00:21:22.420 --> 00:21:23.160
 necessary

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:24.000
 to create

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.560
 the oath

00:21:24.560 --> 00:21:25.360
 system

00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:26.420
 to ensure

00:21:26.420 --> 00:21:27.380
 that in certain

00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:28.600
 very dire

00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:30.120
 grave circumstances

00:21:30.120 --> 00:21:31.500
 people

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:32.880
 tell the truth.

00:21:36.220 --> 00:21:37.240
 Vows and oaths

00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:37.640
 therefore

00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:38.799
 are concessions

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:39.640
 to the hardness

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:40.519
 of the human art

00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:41.960
 not commands

00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:43.000
 or the ideals

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:44.400
 that capture

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:45.420
 God's ultimate standard.

00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.160
 So Jesus is here

00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:49.259
 bringing us back

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:50.019
 to God's

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:50.620
 original

00:21:50.620 --> 00:21:51.440
 ultimate standard

00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:52.279
 in verses 34

00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:53.080
 to 37.

00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:55.519
 But I say to you

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.960
 do not take an oath

00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.539
 at all

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:58.440
 either by heaven

00:21:58.440 --> 00:21:59.279
 for it is the throne

00:21:59.279 --> 00:21:59.759
 of God

00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:00.880
 or by the earth

00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:02.080
 for it is his footstool

00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:03.200
 or by Jerusalem

00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:03.980
 for it is the city

00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:04.779
 of the great king

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:06.140
 and do not take

00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:07.240
 an oath by your head

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.220
 for you cannot make

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:08.779
 one hair

00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:09.700
 white or black.

00:22:10.340 --> 00:22:11.160
 Let what you say

00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:11.740
 be simply

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:12.600
 yes or no

00:22:12.600 --> 00:22:13.840
 anything more than this

00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:15.259
 comes from evil.

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.100
 Because the Jews

00:22:18.100 --> 00:22:18.940
 of Jesus' day

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:20.860
 took rightly

00:22:20.860 --> 00:22:21.940
 took oaths

00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:22.820
 very seriously

00:22:22.820 --> 00:22:24.500
 they were hesitant

00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:26.100
 to invoke God's name

00:22:26.100 --> 00:22:27.000
 directly when they

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:27.840
 were making vows.

00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:29.460
 However

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:31.860
 they wrongly believed

00:22:31.860 --> 00:22:34.279
 that by taking oaths

00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:35.820
 by sacred things

00:22:35.820 --> 00:22:36.880
 that are not quite

00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:37.600
 as sacred

00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:38.640
 as the name of God

00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.519
 they could get themselves

00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.519
 off the hook

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:43.759
 without consequence

00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:44.799
 from oaths

00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:45.819
 that they have made.

00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:49.019
 I swear

00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:51.119
 by heaven itself

00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:54.519
 that this snake oil

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:55.740
 that I'm selling

00:22:55.740 --> 00:22:56.220
 to you

00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:57.799
 will heal you

00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:58.859
 of all your diseases

00:22:58.859 --> 00:23:00.019
 because it was

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:01.059
 blessed by the priest.

00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.379
 Some

00:23:04.379 --> 00:23:05.980
 faithful

00:23:05.980 --> 00:23:06.539
 well-meaning

00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:07.079
 layperson

00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:08.059
 buys the snake oil

00:23:08.059 --> 00:23:09.819
 applies it

00:23:09.819 --> 00:23:11.859
 and it does nothing.

00:23:11.859 --> 00:23:14.079
 and he comes back

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:15.439
 to the religious leader

00:23:15.439 --> 00:23:15.839
 and says

00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:17.899
 you swore

00:23:17.899 --> 00:23:18.859
 by God's name

00:23:18.859 --> 00:23:20.019
 that this thing works

00:23:20.019 --> 00:23:24.479
 and then he says

00:23:24.479 --> 00:23:26.899
 oh no

00:23:26.899 --> 00:23:27.439
 you see

00:23:27.439 --> 00:23:30.079
 I did not swear

00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:30.759
 by God's name.

00:23:32.899 --> 00:23:33.399
 Actually

00:23:33.399 --> 00:23:34.359
 if you might recall

00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:36.079
 accurately

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:37.699
 I swore

00:23:37.699 --> 00:23:38.279
 by heaven

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.139
 which is not

00:23:41.139 --> 00:23:41.700
 the same thing

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:42.059
 as swearing

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:42.700
 by God's name.

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:45.079
 Same difference.

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:46.960
 No, no, no

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.279
 you see

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:47.819
 I'm the teacher

00:23:47.819 --> 00:23:48.220
 of the law

00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:48.519
 and there's

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.379
 a very big difference.

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:50.899
 Heaven is part

00:23:50.899 --> 00:23:51.680
 of God's creation.

00:23:52.579 --> 00:23:53.480
 God is the creator.

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:55.700
 Have you ever heard

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.299
 of the creator

00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:57.259
 creature distinction?

00:23:59.259 --> 00:24:00.259
 No, no, no, no, no.

00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:01.160
 That's heresy

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:02.139
 that's blasphemy.

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:03.519
 Get out of here

00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:04.579
 you have no case

00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:05.500
 to make against me.

00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:13.500
 Jesus gives an example

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:14.460
 of this kind of

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:16.059
 specious rationalization

00:24:16.059 --> 00:24:16.980
 by the religious leaders

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:17.779
 in Matthew 23

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:18.759
 16 to 17.

00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:20.299
 He says

00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:22.119
 woe to you

00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.319
 blind guides

00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:24.799
 who say

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:26.000
 if anyone swears

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:26.700
 by the temple

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.420
 it is nothing

00:24:27.420 --> 00:24:28.519
 but if anyone

00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:29.960
 swears by the gold

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:30.619
 of the temple

00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:31.640
 he is bound

00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:32.380
 by his oath.

00:24:32.900 --> 00:24:34.140
 You blind fools

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:35.600
 for which is greater

00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:36.140
 the gold

00:24:36.140 --> 00:24:36.780
 or the temple

00:24:36.780 --> 00:24:37.460
 that has made

00:24:37.460 --> 00:24:38.620
 the gold sacred.

00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:42.420
 It's really no different

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:43.640
 from the social swearing

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:44.500
 that people engage

00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:44.900
 in nowadays.

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:47.820
 If you go hang out

00:24:47.820 --> 00:24:48.400
 at the playground

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:48.980
 where the kids

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:49.360
 are playing

00:24:49.360 --> 00:24:50.160
 you can overhear

00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:50.920
 things like this.

00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:53.300
 I swear

00:24:53.300 --> 00:24:54.440
 that I have

00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:55.240
 that super rare

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:56.020
 Pokemon card.

00:24:58.440 --> 00:24:59.340
 I swear

00:24:59.340 --> 00:25:00.040
 I can do

00:25:00.040 --> 00:25:00.720
 a cartwheel.

00:25:01.780 --> 00:25:02.120
 I'm just

00:25:02.120 --> 00:25:02.900
 not going to do it

00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:03.420
 right now.

00:25:04.140 --> 00:25:05.259
 because I'm injured.

00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:10.600
 And then

00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:11.420
 when they're exposed

00:25:11.420 --> 00:25:12.120
 to be a fraud

00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:12.920
 they say

00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:14.040
 I bet you didn't know

00:25:14.040 --> 00:25:15.180
 that I had my fingers

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:15.940
 crossed in the back.

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:19.380
 It doesn't really work.

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:20.080
 It's not binding.

00:25:22.020 --> 00:25:22.460
 That's

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:25.400
 essentially

00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:26.200
 what these religious

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:26.860
 leaders were doing.

00:25:30.259 --> 00:25:30.960
 The Jews

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:31.800
 were swearing

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:32.779
 by heaven

00:25:32.779 --> 00:25:34.559
 by Jerusalem

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:36.220
 and by their own head

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:37.059
 thinking that they could

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:38.319
 break these oaths

00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:39.279
 with indemnity

00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:39.919
 while still

00:25:39.919 --> 00:25:40.539
 using them

00:25:40.539 --> 00:25:41.419
 to manipulate people

00:25:41.419 --> 00:25:42.579
 into believing them

00:25:42.579 --> 00:25:43.460
 and trusting them

00:25:43.460 --> 00:25:44.099
 and doing what they

00:25:44.099 --> 00:25:44.879
 want them to do.

00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:45.419
 And Jesus

00:25:45.419 --> 00:25:46.399
 tells them

00:25:46.399 --> 00:25:47.000
 no

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.519
 heaven

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.500
 is the throne

00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:49.159
 of God.

00:25:50.139 --> 00:25:50.940
 And if you swear

00:25:50.940 --> 00:25:51.399
 by heaven

00:25:51.399 --> 00:25:52.539
 you swear by heaven

00:25:52.539 --> 00:25:53.119
 and the God

00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:54.220
 who sits

00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:54.960
 on his throne.

00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:57.600
 if you swear

00:25:57.600 --> 00:25:58.519
 by the earth

00:25:58.519 --> 00:25:59.299
 it is God's

00:25:59.299 --> 00:25:59.860
 footstool

00:25:59.860 --> 00:26:00.380
 as it says

00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:00.920
 in Isaiah

00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:02.400
 and you swear

00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:03.779
 by the footstool

00:26:03.779 --> 00:26:04.819
 and the one

00:26:04.819 --> 00:26:05.420
 who rests

00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:06.279
 his foot on it.

00:26:06.840 --> 00:26:07.440
 If you swear

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:08.259
 by Jerusalem

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:08.900
 it is the city

00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:09.960
 of the great king

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:11.140
 the Lord's anointed

00:26:11.140 --> 00:26:12.220
 and you swear

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:13.340
 by the great city

00:26:13.340 --> 00:26:13.900
 and the king

00:26:13.900 --> 00:26:14.480
 the anointed

00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:15.579
 and the Lord

00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:16.380
 in whose name

00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:17.299
 he was anointed.

00:26:17.299 --> 00:26:22.139
 in fact

00:26:22.139 --> 00:26:22.799
 don't even swear

00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:23.619
 by your head.

00:26:23.879 --> 00:26:24.599
 You know people think

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:26.180
 with my own head

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:27.819
 at least I have

00:26:27.819 --> 00:26:28.859
 responsibility for this

00:26:28.859 --> 00:26:29.379
 I can swear

00:26:29.379 --> 00:26:30.259
 by my own head

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:31.159
 and Jesus says

00:26:31.159 --> 00:26:31.779
 no

00:26:31.779 --> 00:26:34.819
 you cannot even make

00:26:34.819 --> 00:26:36.359
 one strand of hair

00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:37.480
 white or black.

00:26:38.879 --> 00:26:39.720
 Dyeing doesn't count.

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:40.440
 Yes.

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:44.700
 You think

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:45.339
 you're responsible

00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:46.059
 for your own head

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:46.779
 no you are not.

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.960
 God is responsible

00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:48.619
 for your life.

00:26:49.059 --> 00:26:49.940
 God is responsible

00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:50.599
 for your head.

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:51.619
 God is the one

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:52.599
 who has every hair

00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:53.379
 on your head

00:26:53.379 --> 00:26:54.139
 numbered

00:26:54.139 --> 00:26:55.139
 and when you swear

00:26:55.139 --> 00:26:56.139
 by your own head

00:26:56.139 --> 00:26:57.460
 you swear by your head

00:26:57.460 --> 00:26:58.240
 and the God

00:26:58.240 --> 00:26:59.019
 who makes it

00:26:59.019 --> 00:27:00.059
 and sustains it.

00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.839
 In other words

00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:06.940
 don't think

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:07.420
 that you could

00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:08.319
 wiggle your way

00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:09.420
 out of the promises

00:27:09.420 --> 00:27:09.839
 you make

00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:10.359
 and the oaths

00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:10.740
 you make.

00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:12.119
 Keep every oath

00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:12.920
 you make.

00:27:15.139 --> 00:27:15.960
 Better yet

00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:17.160
 as Jesus says

00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:17.960
 in verse 37

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:19.000
 let what you say

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:19.720
 be simply

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:20.940
 yes or no

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:22.240
 anything more than this

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:23.380
 comes from evil.

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:26.259
 Vows and oaths

00:27:26.259 --> 00:27:27.140
 like I said earlier

00:27:27.140 --> 00:27:28.240
 are concessions

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:28.980
 to the hardness

00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:30.200
 of the human heart.

00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:32.059
 If we

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:33.880
 if all of humanity

00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:35.100
 practiced

00:27:35.100 --> 00:27:36.400
 transparency

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.100
 and simple honesty

00:27:38.100 --> 00:27:39.400
 in all of our speech

00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:40.160
 and dealings

00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:41.200
 then vows

00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:41.980
 and oaths

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:43.120
 would immediately

00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:44.139
 become obsolete.

00:27:46.139 --> 00:27:47.399
 That is

00:27:47.399 --> 00:27:48.119
 God's

00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:48.719
 ultimate

00:27:48.719 --> 00:27:49.419
 standard.

00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:51.859
 This is why

00:27:51.859 --> 00:27:52.219
 I think

00:27:52.219 --> 00:27:53.019
 Jesus' teaching

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:53.919
 here applies

00:27:53.919 --> 00:27:54.779
 far widely

00:27:54.779 --> 00:27:56.059
 to all forms

00:27:56.059 --> 00:27:56.619
 of deception

00:27:56.619 --> 00:27:57.639
 and manipulation

00:27:57.639 --> 00:27:59.159
 because why

00:27:59.159 --> 00:28:00.000
 do we

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:01.179
 swear falsely?

00:28:01.739 --> 00:28:02.739
 Why do we

00:28:02.739 --> 00:28:03.879
 make promises

00:28:03.879 --> 00:28:04.519
 and vows

00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:05.199
 and then break them?

00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:05.739
 Why do we

00:28:05.739 --> 00:28:06.559
 exaggerate

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.659
 and embellish

00:28:07.659 --> 00:28:08.259
 our stories?

00:28:08.439 --> 00:28:09.000
 Why do we

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:10.059
 flatter people

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:10.739
 and say things

00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:11.759
 we don't really mean

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.720
 to gain their

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:13.299
 confidence

00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:14.099
 and trust

00:28:14.099 --> 00:28:14.700
 and favor?

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:15.720
 Why do we

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:16.700
 betray people

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:17.140
 who have

00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:18.779
 entrusted to us

00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:19.400
 their confidence

00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:20.039
 and secrets?

00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:20.779
 Why do we

00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:22.599
 tell half-truths

00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:24.259
 or half-truth

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:25.120
 told as a

00:28:25.120 --> 00:28:26.039
 whole truth

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:26.960
 is a whole lie?

00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:32.259
 We do it all

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:33.019
 to gain a selfish

00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:33.579
 advantage.

00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:36.980
 To get people

00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:37.960
 to believe us.

00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:39.680
 to get people

00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:40.799
 to like us

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:41.740
 and not them.

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:44.620
 To get people

00:28:44.620 --> 00:28:45.200
 to do what

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:46.279
 we want

00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:47.059
 them to do.

00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:50.480
 And all of this

00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:51.059
 God says

00:28:51.059 --> 00:28:51.900
 is evil

00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:52.720
 in his eyes.

00:28:53.600 --> 00:28:53.960
 Instead

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:54.980
 be simple

00:28:54.980 --> 00:28:56.079
 truth tellers

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:57.039
 who need

00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:57.819
 no oath

00:28:57.819 --> 00:28:59.980
 to verify

00:28:59.980 --> 00:29:00.539
 his or her

00:29:00.539 --> 00:29:00.920
 speech.

00:29:02.380 --> 00:29:03.259
 Let what you

00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:04.039
 say be simply

00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:04.539
 yes

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:05.960
 or no.

00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:08.980
 this raises

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.680
 two questions

00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:10.220
 that require

00:29:10.220 --> 00:29:10.700
 some

00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:11.660
 qualification.

00:29:12.620 --> 00:29:13.319
 First question

00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:14.100
 is there ever

00:29:14.100 --> 00:29:14.720
 a situation

00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:15.360
 where it is

00:29:15.360 --> 00:29:15.799
 okay

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:16.759
 not to be

00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:17.700
 fully factual?

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:20.380
 Second

00:29:20.380 --> 00:29:21.460
 is there ever

00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:22.000
 a situation

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:22.559
 where it is

00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:23.019
 okay

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.620
 to take

00:29:23.620 --> 00:29:24.160
 an oath

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:25.380
 say in the

00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:25.779
 courtroom?

00:29:27.860 --> 00:29:28.420
 First

00:29:28.420 --> 00:29:28.960
 is there ever

00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:29.380
 a situation

00:29:29.380 --> 00:29:30.019
 where it is

00:29:30.019 --> 00:29:30.360
 okay

00:29:30.360 --> 00:29:31.019
 not to be

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:31.880
 fully factual?

00:29:32.360 --> 00:29:32.720
 I think

00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.059
 the Bible

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:33.539
 demands

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:33.819
 that we

00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:34.180
 answer

00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.640
 yes

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:35.039
 to that

00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:35.460
 question.

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:36.420
 Because there

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:37.039
 are numerous

00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:37.600
 examples

00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:38.279
 in scripture

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:39.240
 of godly

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:39.539
 saints

00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:40.319
 being commended

00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:41.440
 for misleading

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:41.900
 speech.

00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.160
 The Hebrew

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:44.759
 midwives

00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:46.039
 in Exodus

00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:46.960
 chapter 1

00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:47.759
 misled

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.440
 Pharaoh.

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:49.900
 The Pharaoh

00:29:49.900 --> 00:29:50.400
 commands them

00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:50.860
 to kill

00:29:50.860 --> 00:29:52.340
 every Jewish

00:29:52.340 --> 00:29:53.019
 son that is

00:29:53.019 --> 00:29:53.299
 born.

00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:54.340
 And they're

00:29:54.340 --> 00:29:54.840
 like oh

00:29:54.840 --> 00:29:55.500
 no no no

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:56.420
 we can't

00:29:56.420 --> 00:29:58.220
 why aren't

00:29:58.220 --> 00:29:58.440
 you guys

00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:58.920
 killing them?

00:29:58.980 --> 00:29:59.140
 And they're

00:29:59.140 --> 00:29:59.460
 like oh

00:29:59.460 --> 00:29:59.700
 no no

00:29:59.700 --> 00:30:00.220
 these Jewish

00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:00.579
 women are

00:30:00.579 --> 00:30:01.200
 so vigorous

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:01.920
 they give

00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:02.460
 birth before

00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:02.920
 we can get

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.279
 there to do

00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:03.759
 anything about

00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:03.940
 it.

00:30:03.940 --> 00:30:04.880
 you know

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.960
 and it

00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:07.519
 says that

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:08.000
 God

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:09.019
 blessed

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:09.600
 them for

00:30:09.600 --> 00:30:09.940
 that

00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:12.140
 and gave

00:30:12.140 --> 00:30:12.660
 them their

00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:13.500
 own families

00:30:13.500 --> 00:30:14.180
 because they

00:30:14.180 --> 00:30:15.019
 feared God.

00:30:17.320 --> 00:30:17.820
 Rahab the

00:30:17.820 --> 00:30:18.320
 prostitute

00:30:18.320 --> 00:30:18.880
 shelters

00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:19.840
 and hides

00:30:19.840 --> 00:30:20.400
 the Israeli

00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:21.120
 spies in

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:21.480
 Jericho

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:22.299
 and deceives

00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:22.960
 the king

00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:23.460
 of Jericho

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:23.980
 about their

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:24.480
 whereabouts

00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:25.160
 in Joshua

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.860
 chapter 2

00:30:25.860 --> 00:30:26.400
 verses 1

00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:26.840
 to 7.

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.000
 you might

00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:29.240
 wonder

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:29.500
 well

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:30.599
 God

00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:30.919
 doesn't

00:30:30.919 --> 00:30:31.480
 command

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:31.699
 that

00:30:31.699 --> 00:30:31.899
 does

00:30:31.899 --> 00:30:32.059
 he?

00:30:32.179 --> 00:30:32.439
 Was that

00:30:32.439 --> 00:30:32.639
 still

00:30:32.639 --> 00:30:32.819
 the

00:30:32.819 --> 00:30:32.980
 wrong

00:30:32.980 --> 00:30:33.159
 thing

00:30:33.159 --> 00:30:33.439
 to do?

00:30:33.500 --> 00:30:33.659
 No

00:30:33.659 --> 00:30:34.139
 because it

00:30:34.139 --> 00:30:34.480
 says in

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:35.059
 Hebrews 11

00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:35.539
 31

00:30:35.539 --> 00:30:36.939
 it commands

00:30:36.939 --> 00:30:37.399
 her for

00:30:37.399 --> 00:30:37.980
 that very

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:38.359
 act

00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:38.799
 and calls

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:39.019
 her a

00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:39.359
 woman of

00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:39.659
 faith.

00:30:43.179 --> 00:30:43.799
 There are

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.240
 contexts

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:44.240


00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:44.779
 During the

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:45.279
 conquest of

00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:45.519
 Canaan

00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:45.919
 when God

00:30:45.919 --> 00:30:46.439
 orders an

00:30:46.439 --> 00:30:46.859
 ambush

00:30:46.859 --> 00:30:47.459
 which is a

00:30:47.459 --> 00:30:47.899
 form of

00:30:47.899 --> 00:30:48.399
 military

00:30:48.399 --> 00:30:49.000
 deception

00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:50.819
 jail

00:30:50.819 --> 00:30:51.399
 deceives

00:30:51.399 --> 00:30:51.959
 the Canaanite

00:30:51.959 --> 00:30:52.299
 general

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:52.859
 Sisera

00:30:52.859 --> 00:30:53.539
 in

00:30:53.539 --> 00:30:54.079
 judges

00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:56.259
 God

00:30:56.259 --> 00:30:56.799
 develops

00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:57.240
 a cover

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:57.599
 story

00:30:57.599 --> 00:30:57.799
 for

00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:58.159
 prophet

00:30:58.159 --> 00:30:58.599
 Samuel

00:30:58.599 --> 00:30:59.159
 to tell

00:30:59.159 --> 00:30:59.480
 King

00:30:59.480 --> 00:30:59.819
 Saul

00:30:59.819 --> 00:31:00.119
 because

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:00.359
 he

00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:00.599
 knows

00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:00.720
 that

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:00.879
 King

00:31:00.879 --> 00:31:01.079
 Saul

00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:01.259
 is going

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:01.439
 to try

00:31:01.439 --> 00:31:01.779
 to kill

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:01.939
 him

00:31:01.939 --> 00:31:02.419
 if he

00:31:02.419 --> 00:31:02.639
 knows

00:31:02.639 --> 00:31:02.799
 that

00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:03.079
 Samuel

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:03.439
 is going

00:31:03.439 --> 00:31:03.879
 to anoint

00:31:03.879 --> 00:31:04.259
 David

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:05.460
 as king

00:31:05.460 --> 00:31:05.960
 to replace

00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:06.179
 him.

00:31:07.859 --> 00:31:08.419
 David

00:31:08.419 --> 00:31:09.099
 uses deception

00:31:09.099 --> 00:31:09.519
 on a number

00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:10.119
 of occasions

00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:11.819
 to protect

00:31:11.819 --> 00:31:12.599
 himself from

00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:13.460
 enemies who

00:31:13.460 --> 00:31:13.639
 are trying

00:31:13.639 --> 00:31:14.000
 to kill

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:14.259
 him.

00:31:15.259 --> 00:31:15.559
 God

00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:16.039
 himself

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:16.539
 speaks

00:31:16.539 --> 00:31:17.319
 of deceiving

00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:17.939
 false

00:31:17.939 --> 00:31:18.359
 prophets

00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:18.919
 in Ezekiel

00:31:18.919 --> 00:31:19.319
 14

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:19.779
 verse 9

00:31:19.779 --> 00:31:20.079
 he says

00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:20.879
 he sends

00:31:20.879 --> 00:31:21.759
 a lying

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.339
 spirit

00:31:22.339 --> 00:31:22.899
 so that

00:31:22.899 --> 00:31:23.240
 false

00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:23.639
 prophets

00:31:23.639 --> 00:31:24.019
 prophets

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:24.359
 side

00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:24.720
 lies

00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:24.879
 in

00:31:24.879 --> 00:31:25.279
 1 Kings

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:25.759
 22

00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:26.139
 19

00:31:26.139 --> 00:31:26.700
 to 23

00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:28.019
 and

00:31:28.019 --> 00:31:28.339
 finally

00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:28.579
 in

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:29.460
 2 Thessalonians

00:31:29.460 --> 00:31:29.960
 chapter 2

00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:30.460
 verse 11

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:30.720
 God

00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:30.980
 says

00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:31.099
 that

00:31:31.099 --> 00:31:31.660
 he sends

00:31:31.660 --> 00:31:32.279
 the wicked

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:33.400
 who refuse

00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:33.920
 to love

00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:34.400
 the truth

00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:34.759
 and so

00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:35.379
 be saved

00:31:35.379 --> 00:31:36.480
 a strong

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:37.279
 delusion

00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:38.039
 so that

00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:38.460
 they may

00:31:38.460 --> 00:31:38.879
 believe

00:31:38.879 --> 00:31:39.279
 what is

00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:39.740
 false

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:41.900
 so

00:31:41.900 --> 00:31:42.579
 evidently

00:31:42.579 --> 00:31:43.400
 obeying

00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:43.779
 God's

00:31:43.779 --> 00:31:44.259
 commandment

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:44.740
 not to

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:45.059
 lie

00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:45.839
 is not

00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:46.299
 merely

00:31:46.299 --> 00:31:46.720
 about

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.099
 being

00:31:47.099 --> 00:31:47.819
 factually

00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:48.319
 accurate

00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.680
 in this

00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:53.079
 regard

00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:53.420
 God

00:31:53.420 --> 00:31:53.860
 clearly

00:31:53.860 --> 00:31:54.400
 deals

00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:54.640
 with

00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:54.840
 the

00:31:54.840 --> 00:31:55.160
 wicked

00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:55.840
 differently

00:31:55.840 --> 00:31:56.080
 than

00:31:56.080 --> 00:31:56.259
 he

00:31:56.259 --> 00:31:56.600
 deals

00:31:56.600 --> 00:31:56.880
 with

00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:57.120
 the

00:31:57.120 --> 00:31:57.420
 righteous

00:31:57.420 --> 00:31:58.640
 and

00:31:58.640 --> 00:31:59.140
 sometimes

00:31:59.140 --> 00:31:59.400
 he

00:31:59.400 --> 00:31:59.940
 wants

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:00.279
 the

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:00.640
 righteous

00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:01.039
 people

00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:01.279
 to

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:01.940
 mislead

00:32:01.940 --> 00:32:02.620
 the

00:32:02.620 --> 00:32:03.259
 unrighteous

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:04.920
 to

00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:05.300
 thwart

00:32:05.300 --> 00:32:05.840
 their evil

00:32:05.840 --> 00:32:07.860
 but isn't that

00:32:07.860 --> 00:32:08.400
 a double

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:08.759
 standard

00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:09.420
 how is that

00:32:09.420 --> 00:32:09.759
 okay

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:13.000
 this is not

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:13.320
 a double

00:32:13.320 --> 00:32:13.640
 standard

00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:14.259
 because

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:15.080
 God

00:32:15.080 --> 00:32:15.620
 is the

00:32:15.620 --> 00:32:15.900
 standard

00:32:15.900 --> 00:32:16.420
 of truth

00:32:16.420 --> 00:32:18.200
 God

00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:18.940
 is the

00:32:18.940 --> 00:32:19.860
 Lord

00:32:19.860 --> 00:32:20.519
 God

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:20.920
 declares

00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:21.500
 I

00:32:21.500 --> 00:32:21.720
 the

00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.160
 Lord

00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:22.759
 speak

00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:23.039
 the

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:23.560
 truth

00:32:23.560 --> 00:32:24.440
 I

00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:25.080
 declare

00:32:25.080 --> 00:32:25.400
 what

00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:25.580
 is

00:32:25.580 --> 00:32:25.900
 right

00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:26.160
 God

00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:26.519
 says

00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:28.620
 God

00:32:28.620 --> 00:32:28.940
 is the

00:32:28.940 --> 00:32:29.320
 ultimate

00:32:29.320 --> 00:32:29.880
 standard

00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:30.120
 and

00:32:30.120 --> 00:32:30.560
 arbiter

00:32:30.560 --> 00:32:30.759
 of

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:31.100
 truth

00:32:31.100 --> 00:32:31.460
 he

00:32:31.460 --> 00:32:31.700
 is the

00:32:31.700 --> 00:32:32.019
 ultimate

00:32:32.019 --> 00:32:32.620
 source

00:32:32.620 --> 00:32:32.980
 and the

00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:33.340
 measure

00:32:33.340 --> 00:32:33.560
 of

00:32:33.560 --> 00:32:33.800
 truth

00:32:33.800 --> 00:32:34.100
 because

00:32:34.100 --> 00:32:34.320
 he

00:32:34.320 --> 00:32:34.560
 is the

00:32:34.560 --> 00:32:34.920
 creator

00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:35.240
 and the

00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:35.440
 Lord

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:35.580
 of

00:32:35.580 --> 00:32:35.759
 this

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:36.160
 universe

00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:37.259
 we

00:32:37.259 --> 00:32:37.480
 do

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:37.759
 not

00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:38.240
 measure

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:38.820
 God

00:32:38.820 --> 00:32:39.340
 according

00:32:39.340 --> 00:32:39.680
 to

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.019
 the

00:32:40.019 --> 00:32:40.820
 abstract

00:32:40.820 --> 00:32:41.800
 truth

00:32:41.800 --> 00:32:42.640
 no

00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:43.120
 God

00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:43.800
 is

00:32:43.800 --> 00:32:44.279
 the

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:44.860
 truth

00:32:44.860 --> 00:32:45.279
 by which

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:45.480
 we

00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:45.900
 measure

00:32:45.900 --> 00:32:46.480
 all

00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:46.779
 other

00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:47.320
 claims

00:32:47.320 --> 00:32:47.540
 to

00:32:47.540 --> 00:32:47.880
 truth

00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:51.200
 this

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:51.519
 is why

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:51.860
 Bible

00:32:51.860 --> 00:32:52.259
 declares

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:52.640
 over and

00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:52.940
 over again

00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:53.080
 that

00:32:53.080 --> 00:32:53.480
 all

00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:53.680
 of

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:54.060
 God's

00:32:54.060 --> 00:32:54.380
 word

00:32:54.380 --> 00:32:54.759
 is

00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:55.200
 truth

00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:55.360
 and

00:32:55.360 --> 00:32:55.620
 all

00:32:55.620 --> 00:32:55.779
 of

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:56.140
 God's

00:32:56.140 --> 00:32:56.480
 deeds

00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:56.660
 are

00:32:56.660 --> 00:32:56.759
 in

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:57.160
 accordance

00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:57.700
 with

00:32:57.700 --> 00:32:57.940
 the

00:32:57.940 --> 00:32:58.259
 truth

00:32:58.259 --> 00:32:59.540
 of

00:32:59.540 --> 00:32:59.720
 who

00:32:59.720 --> 00:32:59.920
 he

00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:00.320
 is

00:33:00.320 --> 00:33:01.820
 so

00:33:01.820 --> 00:33:02.220
 God's

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.580
 concern

00:33:02.580 --> 00:33:02.820
 with

00:33:02.820 --> 00:33:03.279
 lying

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:03.560
 is

00:33:03.560 --> 00:33:03.800
 not

00:33:03.800 --> 00:33:04.100
 merely

00:33:04.100 --> 00:33:04.340
 about

00:33:04.340 --> 00:33:04.600
 making

00:33:04.600 --> 00:33:04.960
 sure

00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:05.360
 that we

00:33:05.360 --> 00:33:05.640
 say

00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:05.820
 what

00:33:05.820 --> 00:33:05.960
 is

00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:06.539
 factually

00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:07.039
 accurate

00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:07.980
 but

00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:08.240
 making

00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:08.519
 sure

00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:08.759
 that we

00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:09.200
 live

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:09.400
 and

00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:09.779
 speak

00:33:09.779 --> 00:33:10.000
 and

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:10.279
 do

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:10.900
 everything

00:33:10.900 --> 00:33:11.120
 in

00:33:11.120 --> 00:33:11.559
 accordance

00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:12.400
 with

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:13.299
 God

00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:13.500
 who

00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:13.980
 is

00:33:13.980 --> 00:33:14.180
 the

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:14.519
 truth

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:17.420

 when King

 Saul is

00:33:45.439 --> 00:33:46.439

 nobody

00:33:48.299 --> 00:33:49.000
 speaks

 David

 Doeg

00:33:54.299 --> 00:33:54.459

00:33:54.459 --> 00:33:54.879
 Edomite

00:33:54.879 --> 00:33:57.159
 he tells

00:33:57.159 --> 00:33:57.839
 the king

00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:58.599
 the whole

00:33:58.599 --> 00:33:58.899

00:33:58.899 --> 00:33:59.259
 so that he

00:33:59.259 --> 00:33:59.819
 can find out

00:33:59.819 --> 00:34:00.240
 where David

00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:00.679
 is and

00:34:00.679 --> 00:34:01.199
 pursue him

00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:02.960
 and that

00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:03.319
 is not

00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:03.700
 portrayed

00:34:03.700 --> 00:34:04.160
 as a

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.460
 godly

00:34:04.460 --> 00:34:04.740
 thing

00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:05.759
 it

00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:05.920
 is

00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:06.319
 sin

00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:07.759
 it

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:07.900
 is

00:34:07.900 --> 00:34:08.619
 portrayed

00:34:08.619 --> 00:34:09.059
 in that

00:34:09.059 --> 00:34:09.699
 part of

00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:09.900
 scripture

00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:10.320
 as a

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:10.539
 wicked

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:11.000
 thing

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:15.539
 why

00:34:15.539 --> 00:34:16.000
 because he

00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:16.380
 was going

00:34:16.380 --> 00:34:16.980
 against

00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:17.679
 the God

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:18.220
 of truth

00:34:18.220 --> 00:34:20.260
 he's going

00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:20.820
 against

00:34:20.820 --> 00:34:21.320
 the will

00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:21.800
 of God

00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.079
 so what

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:23.539
 is of

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:24.099
 the essence

00:34:24.099 --> 00:34:24.920
 here

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:25.260
 is not

00:34:25.260 --> 00:34:25.699
 merely

00:34:25.699 --> 00:34:26.619
 accurate

00:34:27.179 --> 00:34:27.740

00:34:27.739 --> 00:34:28.919
 but what

00:34:28.919 --> 00:34:29.259
 is it

00:34:29.259 --> 00:34:29.599
 that is

00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:36.099
 the mouth

00:34:36.099 --> 00:34:36.699

 God

00:36:04.120 --> 00:36:04.440
 hates

00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:04.740
 is

00:36:04.740 --> 00:36:04.940
 the

00:36:06.420 --> 00:36:09.200
 here's

00:36:09.200 --> 00:36:09.380
 another

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:09.800
 question

00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:10.039
 we can

00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:10.220
 ask

00:36:10.220 --> 00:36:10.640
 ourselves

00:36:10.640 --> 00:36:11.039
 does

00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:11.180
 it

00:36:11.180 --> 00:36:11.519
 stem

00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:11.820
 from

00:36:11.820 --> 00:36:12.079
 the

00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:12.400
 love

00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:12.599
 of

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:12.900
 God

00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:13.740
 and

00:36:13.740 --> 00:36:13.920
 the

00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:14.220
 love

00:36:14.220 --> 00:36:14.420
 of

00:36:14.420 --> 00:36:14.700
 neighbor

00:36:14.700 --> 00:36:15.940
 I

00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:16.079
 think

00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:16.240
 it's

00:36:16.240 --> 00:36:16.519
 important

00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:16.680
 to

00:36:16.680 --> 00:36:16.840
 keep

00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:17.019
 those

00:36:17.019 --> 00:36:17.220
 two

00:36:17.220 --> 00:36:17.539
 things

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:17.840
 hand

00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:17.980
 in

00:36:17.980 --> 00:36:18.220
 hand

00:36:18.220 --> 00:36:18.800
 because

00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:19.160
 sometimes

00:36:19.160 --> 00:36:19.340
 I

00:36:19.340 --> 00:36:19.440
 think

00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:19.680
 we can

00:36:19.680 --> 00:36:20.079
 deceive

00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:21.039
 ourselves

00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:21.440
 into

00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:21.760
 thinking

00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:21.940
 that

00:36:21.940 --> 00:36:22.079
 we're

00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:22.360
 actually

00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:22.679
 trying

00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:22.840
 to

00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:23.000
 love

00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:23.139
 our

00:36:23.139 --> 00:36:23.340
 neighbor

00:36:23.340 --> 00:36:23.619
 when

00:36:23.619 --> 00:36:24.059
 really

00:36:24.059 --> 00:36:24.619
 it

00:36:24.619 --> 00:36:24.820
 goes

00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:25.240
 against

00:36:25.240 --> 00:36:25.659
 God's

00:36:25.659 --> 00:36:25.920
 standard

00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:26.320
 revealed

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:26.659
 in

00:36:26.659 --> 00:36:26.840
 his

00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:27.159
 word

00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:27.420
 and

00:36:27.420 --> 00:36:27.760
 we're

00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:27.920
 doing

00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:28.019
 it

00:36:28.019 --> 00:36:28.119
 out

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:28.220
 of

00:36:28.220 --> 00:36:28.420
 fear

00:36:31.619 --> 00:36:31.780
 of

00:36:31.780 --> 00:36:32.019
 God

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:32.460
 and

00:37:24.179 --> 00:37:24.659
 however

00:37:24.659 --> 00:37:26.219

 Betsy

00:37:30.459 --> 00:37:30.699
 had

 years

00:37:33.659 --> 00:37:34.000
 ago

00:37:34.319 --> 00:37:34.459
 would

00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:44.099
 was

00:37:44.099 --> 00:37:44.419

 Jews

00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:24.000
 knowing

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:24.219
 that

00:38:24.219 --> 00:38:24.420
 they're

00:38:24.420 --> 00:38:24.500

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:26.500
 next

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:29.980
 so

00:38:29.980 --> 00:38:30.159
 I'm

00:38:31.259 --> 00:38:31.400
 I

00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:31.559
 think

00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:31.820
 God

00:38:31.820 --> 00:38:32.099
 knew

00:38:32.299 --> 00:38:32.739
 sincerity

00:38:32.739 --> 00:38:33.039
 because

00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:33.300
 I think

00:38:33.300 --> 00:38:33.599
 God

00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:34.179
 honors

00:38:34.179 --> 00:38:34.519
 her

00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:35.880
 by

00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:36.360
 delivering

00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:36.619
 them

00:38:36.619 --> 00:38:36.900
 from

00:38:36.900 --> 00:38:37.139
 that

00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:37.460
 pickle

00:38:37.460 --> 00:38:39.340
 because

00:38:39.340 --> 00:38:39.699
 that

00:38:39.699 --> 00:38:40.039
 German

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:40.559
 soldier

00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:41.460
 is

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:41.659
 just

00:38:41.659 --> 00:38:42.360
 flabbergasted

00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:42.360


00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:42.960
 Like

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:43.300
 what?

00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:45.519
 He

00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:45.840
 thinks

00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:46.059
 oh

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:47.480
 you're

00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:47.759
 pulling

00:38:47.759 --> 00:38:48.019
 my

00:38:48.019 --> 00:38:48.380
 leg!

00:38:49.579 --> 00:38:50.139
 He

00:38:50.139 --> 00:38:50.360
 thinks

00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:50.599
 she's

00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:50.779
 being

00:38:50.779 --> 00:38:51.559
 sarcastic!

00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:52.840
 He's

00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:52.920
 like

00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:53.139
 you're

00:38:53.139 --> 00:38:53.400
 making

00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:53.579
 a

00:38:53.579 --> 00:38:53.960
 mockery

00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:54.139
 of

00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:54.320
 me!

00:38:55.619 --> 00:38:55.719
 So

00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:55.800
 he

00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:56.039
 says

00:38:56.039 --> 00:38:56.460
 he

00:38:56.460 --> 00:38:56.719
 thinks

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:56.739
!

00:38:56.739 --> 00:38:56.980
 He'll

00:38:56.980 --> 00:38:57.079
 be

00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:57.820
 humiliated

00:38:57.820 --> 00:38:58.079
 and

00:38:58.079 --> 00:38:58.279
 made

00:38:58.279 --> 00:38:58.420
 a

00:38:58.420 --> 00:38:58.639
 fool

00:38:58.639 --> 00:38:58.960
 of

00:38:58.960 --> 00:38:59.519
 if

00:38:59.519 --> 00:38:59.659
 he

00:38:59.659 --> 00:38:59.960
 searches

00:38:59.960 --> 00:39:00.320
 underneath

00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:00.559
 the

00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:00.900
 table

00:39:00.900 --> 00:39:01.480
 which

00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:01.779
 had

00:39:01.779 --> 00:39:01.920
 the

 trap

00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:02.500
 door

00:39:02.500 --> 00:39:03.440

00:39:04.420 --> 00:39:04.699
 hiding

00:39:04.699 --> 00:39:05.019
 so

00:39:05.019 --> 00:39:05.400
 he

00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:06.639
 searches

00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:06.880
 the

00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:07.199
 entire

00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:07.639
 house

00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:08.099
 but

00:39:08.099 --> 00:39:08.320
 not

00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:08.579
 there

00:39:08.579 --> 00:39:08.760
 because

00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:08.880
 that

00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:08.960
 would

00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:08.980
 be

00:39:08.980 --> 00:39:09.079
 too

00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:09.440
 embarrassing

00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:09.780
 to do

00:39:09.780 --> 00:39:11.139
 so

00:39:11.139 --> 00:39:11.400
 they

00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:12.380
 survive

00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:15.639
 sometimes

00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:16.159
 when you

00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:16.500
 make a

00:39:16.500 --> 00:39:16.980
 mistake

00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:17.880
 if

00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:18.000
 you

00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:18.139
 are

00:39:18.139 --> 00:39:18.519
 sincere

00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:18.840
 I

00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:18.980
 think

00:39:18.980 --> 00:39:19.219
 God

00:39:19.219 --> 00:39:19.539
 still

00:39:19.539 --> 00:39:20.059
 delivers

00:39:20.059 --> 00:39:20.340
 you

00:39:20.340 --> 00:39:20.480
 and

00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:20.739
 helps

00:39:20.739 --> 00:39:21.039
 you

00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:28.000
 all

00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:28.139
 that

00:39:28.139 --> 00:39:28.280
 to

00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:28.440
 say

00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:28.639
 there

00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:28.760
 are

00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:29.300
 situations

00:39:29.300 --> 00:39:29.519
 where

00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:29.619
 it

00:39:29.619 --> 00:39:29.739
 is

00:39:29.739 --> 00:39:30.059
 okay

00:39:30.059 --> 00:39:30.360
 not

00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:30.519
 to

00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:30.639
 be

00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:31.059
 100%

00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:31.480
 factually

00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:31.880
 accurate

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:33.940
 but

00:39:33.940 --> 00:39:34.440
 whether

00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:34.660
 it's

00:39:34.660 --> 00:39:34.860
 okay

00:39:34.860 --> 00:39:35.160
 for you

00:39:35.160 --> 00:39:35.380
 to do

00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:35.519
 that

00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:35.780
 or not

00:39:35.780 --> 00:39:36.220
 depends

00:39:36.220 --> 00:39:36.420
 on

00:39:36.420 --> 00:39:36.660
 where

00:39:36.660 --> 00:39:37.119
 your

00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:37.539
 heart

00:39:37.539 --> 00:39:37.840
 is

00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:38.140
 before

00:39:38.140 --> 00:39:38.500
 God

00:39:38.500 --> 00:39:42.820
 second

00:39:42.820 --> 00:39:43.160
 is there

00:39:43.160 --> 00:39:43.519
 ever a

00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:43.840
 situation

00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:44.180
 where it

00:39:44.180 --> 00:39:44.519
 is okay

00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:44.920
 to take

00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:45.320
 an oath

00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:46.340
 let's say

00:39:46.340 --> 00:39:46.539
 in the

00:39:46.539 --> 00:39:46.840
 courtroom

00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:48.260
 I believe

00:39:48.260 --> 00:39:48.660
 the biblical

00:39:48.660 --> 00:39:49.240
 answer to that

00:39:49.240 --> 00:39:49.519
 question

00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:49.860
 also

00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:50.320
 is

00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:50.780
 yes

00:39:50.780 --> 00:39:51.740
 on

00:39:51.740 --> 00:39:52.059
 several

00:39:52.059 --> 00:39:52.539
 occasions

00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:53.059
 in his

00:39:53.059 --> 00:39:53.340
 letters

00:39:53.340 --> 00:39:53.900
 the apostle

00:39:53.900 --> 00:39:54.400
 Paul

00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:54.720
 takes

00:39:54.720 --> 00:39:55.220
 an oath

00:39:55.220 --> 00:39:56.200
 and puts

00:39:56.200 --> 00:39:56.980
 the recipients

00:39:56.980 --> 00:39:57.300
 of his

00:39:57.300 --> 00:39:57.619
 letter

00:39:57.619 --> 00:39:58.940
 under oath

00:39:58.940 --> 00:40:00.000
 does this

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:00.119
 in

00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:00.380
 Romans

00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:06.059
 not only

00:40:06.059 --> 00:40:06.260
 that

00:40:06.260 --> 00:40:06.420
 in

 angel

00:40:09.260 --> 00:40:09.740
 of God

00:40:09.740 --> 00:40:10.139
 raises

 hand

00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:11.440
 to heaven

00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:12.519
 and swears

00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:13.119
 by him

00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:13.659
 who lives

00:40:13.659 --> 00:40:14.039
 forever

00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:14.400
 and ever

00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:14.840

00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:15.119

00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:15.360
 and the

00:40:16.820 --> 00:40:19.019
 an angel

00:40:19.019 --> 00:40:19.519
 does that

00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:21.559
 even more

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:22.159
 decisively

00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:22.599
 Jesus

00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:23.400
 himself

00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:24.240
 is placed

00:40:24.240 --> 00:40:25.139
 under oath

00:40:25.139 --> 00:40:25.780
 by the high

00:40:25.780 --> 00:40:26.119
 priest

00:40:29.759 --> 00:40:30.639
 the priest

00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:30.980
 says to

00:40:30.980 --> 00:40:31.239
 Jesus

00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:32.119
 I adjure

00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:32.559
 you

00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:33.279
 by the

00:40:33.279 --> 00:40:33.539
 living

00:40:33.539 --> 00:40:34.119
 God

00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:34.579
 that's an

00:40:34.579 --> 00:40:34.799
 oath

00:40:34.799 --> 00:40:35.259
 formula

00:40:35.259 --> 00:40:36.679
 tell us

00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:37.059
 if you

00:40:37.059 --> 00:40:37.380
 are the

00:40:37.380 --> 00:40:37.679
 Christ

00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:37.980
 the son

00:40:37.980 --> 00:40:38.359
 of God

00:40:38.359 --> 00:40:39.779
 and in

00:40:39.779 --> 00:40:39.920
 that

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:40.279
 situation

00:40:40.279 --> 00:40:40.599
 Jesus

00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:41.059
 doesn't

00:40:41.059 --> 00:40:41.380
 say

00:40:41.380 --> 00:40:42.000
 oh

00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:42.199
 no

00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:42.359
 no

00:40:42.359 --> 00:40:42.480
 no

00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:42.739
 that's

00:40:42.739 --> 00:40:43.179
 bad

00:40:43.179 --> 00:40:43.319
 you

00:40:43.319 --> 00:40:43.480
 should

00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:43.659
 not

00:40:43.659 --> 00:40:43.819
 be

00:40:43.819 --> 00:40:44.019
 doing

00:40:44.019 --> 00:40:44.299
 that

00:40:44.299 --> 00:40:44.859
 I

00:40:44.859 --> 00:40:45.119
 cannot

00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:45.420
 take

00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:45.539
 an

00:40:45.539 --> 00:40:45.759
 oath

00:40:45.759 --> 00:40:48.179
 up to

00:40:48.179 --> 00:40:48.319
 that

00:40:48.319 --> 00:40:48.579
 point

00:40:48.579 --> 00:40:48.839
 Jesus

00:40:48.839 --> 00:40:49.019
 was

00:40:49.019 --> 00:40:49.400
 completely

00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:49.839
 silent

00:40:49.839 --> 00:40:50.000
 he

00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:50.119
 would

00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:50.339
 not

00:40:50.339 --> 00:40:50.719
 answer

00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:50.900
 their

00:40:50.900 --> 00:40:51.179
 false

00:40:51.179 --> 00:40:51.699
 accusations

00:40:51.699 --> 00:40:51.699


00:40:51.940 --> 00:40:51.960
 But

00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:52.279
 after

00:40:52.279 --> 00:40:52.619
 being

00:40:52.619 --> 00:40:52.940
 put

00:40:52.940 --> 00:40:53.179
 under

00:40:53.179 --> 00:40:53.579
 oath

00:40:53.579 --> 00:40:54.360
 by God's

00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:54.659
 name

00:40:54.659 --> 00:40:55.159
 Jesus

00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:55.639
 finally

00:40:55.639 --> 00:40:56.279
 answers

00:40:56.279 --> 00:40:56.500
 the

00:40:56.500 --> 00:40:56.699
 high

00:40:56.699 --> 00:40:57.039
 priest

00:40:57.039 --> 00:40:57.500
 and

00:40:57.500 --> 00:40:57.639
 he

00:40:57.639 --> 00:40:58.039
 says

00:40:58.039 --> 00:40:58.960
 you

00:40:58.960 --> 00:40:59.299
 have

00:40:59.299 --> 00:40:59.639
 said

00:40:59.639 --> 00:40:59.980
 so

00:40:59.980 --> 00:41:00.920
 but

00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:01.099
 I

00:41:01.099 --> 00:41:01.400
 tell

00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:01.699
 you

00:41:01.699 --> 00:41:01.960
 from

00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:04.619
 right

00:41:04.619 --> 00:41:04.880
 hand

00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:05.019
 of

00:41:05.019 --> 00:41:05.340
 God

00:41:05.340 --> 00:41:05.900
 right

00:41:05.900 --> 00:41:06.079
 hand

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:06.219
 of

00:41:06.219 --> 00:41:06.500
 power

00:41:06.500 --> 00:41:06.659
 and

00:41:06.659 --> 00:41:06.900
 coming

00:41:06.900 --> 00:41:07.019
 on

00:41:07.019 --> 00:41:07.119
 the

00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:07.340
 cloud

00:41:07.340 --> 00:41:07.480
 of

00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:07.699
 heaven

00:41:07.699 --> 00:41:10.559
 so

00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:10.840
 Jesus

00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:11.159
 takes

00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:11.299
 an

00:41:11.299 --> 00:41:11.480
 oath

00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:11.900
 this

00:41:11.900 --> 00:41:12.039
 is

00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:12.279
 why

00:41:12.279 --> 00:41:12.440
 I

00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:12.659
 think

00:41:12.659 --> 00:41:12.880
 that

00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:13.340
 Quakers

00:41:13.340 --> 00:41:13.659
 and

00:41:13.659 --> 00:41:14.119
 Mennonites

00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:14.279
 and

00:41:14.279 --> 00:41:14.799
 Amish

00:41:14.799 --> 00:41:15.059
 and

00:41:15.059 --> 00:41:15.420
 brethren

00:41:15.420 --> 00:41:15.960
 who

00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:16.079
 are

00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:16.500
 Christian

00:41:16.500 --> 00:41:16.779
 brothers

00:41:16.779 --> 00:41:17.199
 and sisters

00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:17.219
!

00:41:23.579 --> 00:41:24.019
 circumstance

00:41:24.019 --> 00:41:24.380
 take

00:41:24.380 --> 00:41:24.539
 an

00:41:24.539 --> 00:41:24.900
 oath

00:41:24.900 --> 00:41:25.299
 not

00:41:25.299 --> 00:41:25.460
 even

00:41:25.460 --> 00:41:25.639
 in

00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:25.860
 court

00:41:25.860 --> 00:41:26.000
 I

00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:26.139
 think

00:41:26.139 --> 00:41:26.340
 they're

00:41:26.340 --> 00:41:26.779
 mistaken

00:41:26.779 --> 00:41:28.480
 in

00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:28.599
 the

00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:28.819
 same

00:41:28.819 --> 00:41:29.039
 way

00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:29.219
 that

00:41:29.219 --> 00:41:29.420
 even

00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:29.739
 though

00:41:29.739 --> 00:41:30.039
 in

00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:30.440
 God's

00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:30.719
 standard

00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:31.119
 ideal

00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:31.299
 we

00:41:31.299 --> 00:41:31.440
 should

00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:31.639
 never

00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:32.219
 divorce

00:41:32.219 --> 00:41:33.440
 1 Corinthians

00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:33.840

00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:34.059

00:41:34.059 --> 00:41:34.440
 provision

00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:34.639
 for

00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:35.000
 divorce

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:35.299
 because

00:41:35.299 --> 00:41:35.579
 what

00:41:35.579 --> 00:41:35.659
 are

00:41:35.659 --> 00:41:35.739
 you

00:41:35.739 --> 00:41:35.860
 going

00:41:35.860 --> 00:41:35.980
 to

00:41:35.980 --> 00:41:36.179
 do

00:41:36.179 --> 00:41:36.360
 when

00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:36.480
 your

00:41:37.860 --> 00:41:38.099
 on

00:41:38.099 --> 00:41:38.219
 it

00:41:38.219 --> 00:41:38.340
 and

 you

 and

 separates

00:41:39.460 --> 00:41:39.679
 from

00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:39.759
 you

 you

 we

 on our

 own

00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:46.519
 accord

00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:47.179
 make

00:41:47.179 --> 00:41:47.440
 oath

00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:47.579
 and

00:41:47.579 --> 00:41:47.840
 take

00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:48.059
 oath

00:41:48.059 --> 00:41:48.059


00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:48.239
 no

00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:48.359
 I

00:41:48.359 --> 00:41:48.500
 don't

00:41:48.500 --> 00:41:48.699
 think

00:41:48.699 --> 00:41:49.000
 that's

00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:49.159
 what

00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:49.279
 we

00:41:49.279 --> 00:41:49.459
 should

00:41:49.459 --> 00:41:49.759
 do

00:41:49.759 --> 00:41:50.239
 but

00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:50.359
 I

00:41:50.359 --> 00:41:50.479
 do

00:41:50.479 --> 00:41:50.759
 believe

00:41:50.759 --> 00:41:50.919
 that

00:41:50.919 --> 00:41:51.079
 there

00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:51.279
 are

00:41:51.279 --> 00:41:52.099
 circumstances

00:41:52.099 --> 00:41:53.059
 in

00:41:53.059 --> 00:41:53.779
 situations

00:41:53.779 --> 00:41:54.679
 like

00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:54.959
 when

00:41:54.959 --> 00:41:55.119
 you're

00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:55.319
 in

00:41:55.319 --> 00:41:55.619
 court

00:41:55.619 --> 00:41:55.919
 where

00:41:55.919 --> 00:41:56.139
 you're

00:41:56.139 --> 00:41:56.719
 solemnly

00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:56.719


00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:57.059
 adjured

00:41:57.059 --> 00:41:57.359
 to

00:41:57.359 --> 00:41:57.639
 tell

00:41:57.639 --> 00:41:57.839
 the

00:41:57.839 --> 00:41:58.179
 truth

00:41:58.179 --> 00:42:00.000
 I

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:00.119
 do

00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:00.319
 think

00:42:00.319 --> 00:42:00.519
 it's

00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:00.799
 okay

00:42:00.799 --> 00:42:00.919
 and

00:42:00.919 --> 00:42:01.019
 it's

00:42:01.019 --> 00:42:01.199
 not

00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:01.500
 sinful

00:42:01.500 --> 00:42:01.779
 for

00:42:01.779 --> 00:42:02.019
 us

00:42:02.019 --> 00:42:02.299
 to

00:42:02.299 --> 00:42:02.959
 be

00:42:02.959 --> 00:42:03.199
 placed

00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:03.419
 under

00:42:03.419 --> 00:42:03.719
 oath

00:42:03.719 --> 00:42:07.000
 that

00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:07.219
 brings

00:42:07.219 --> 00:42:07.339
 me

00:42:07.339 --> 00:42:07.479
 to

00:42:07.479 --> 00:42:07.619
 my

00:42:07.619 --> 00:42:07.879
 final

00:42:07.879 --> 00:42:08.139
 point

00:42:08.139 --> 00:42:08.479
 remember

00:42:08.479 --> 00:42:09.019
 God's

00:42:09.019 --> 00:42:09.279
 oath

00:42:09.279 --> 00:42:10.539
 God

00:42:10.539 --> 00:42:11.139
 himself

00:42:11.139 --> 00:42:12.279
 takes

00:42:12.279 --> 00:42:13.000
 an

00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:13.299
 oath

00:42:13.299 --> 00:42:13.639
 when

00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:13.779
 he

00:42:13.779 --> 00:42:14.119
 enters

00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:14.419
 into

00:42:14.419 --> 00:42:14.759
 covenant

00:42:14.759 --> 00:42:14.779
!

00:42:14.779 --> 00:42:14.959
 with

00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:15.099
 his

00:42:15.099 --> 00:42:15.380
 people

00:42:15.380 --> 00:42:16.900
 not

00:42:16.900 --> 00:42:17.400
 because

00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:17.720
 he

00:42:17.720 --> 00:42:18.079
 needs

00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:18.360
 to

00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:19.619
 he

00:42:19.619 --> 00:42:19.920
 doesn't

00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:20.159
 need

00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:20.340
 to

00:42:20.340 --> 00:42:20.720
 place

00:42:20.720 --> 00:42:21.659
 himself

00:42:21.659 --> 00:42:21.940
 under

00:42:21.940 --> 00:42:22.179
 oath

00:42:22.179 --> 00:42:22.460
 because

00:42:22.460 --> 00:42:22.740
 God

00:42:22.740 --> 00:42:23.059
 never

00:42:23.059 --> 00:42:23.639
 lies

00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:24.380
 we

00:42:24.380 --> 00:42:24.519
 have

00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:24.740
 no

00:42:24.740 --> 00:42:25.139
 reason

00:42:25.139 --> 00:42:25.340
 to

00:42:25.340 --> 00:42:25.800
 distrust

00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:26.199
 God

00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:26.780
 at

00:42:26.780 --> 00:42:27.079
 all

00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:28.280
 and

00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:28.480
 yet

00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:28.760
 God

00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:29.199
 still

00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:29.720
 takes

00:42:29.720 --> 00:42:29.880
 an

00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:30.139
 oath

00:42:30.139 --> 00:42:30.360
 to

00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:30.940
 accommodate

00:42:30.940 --> 00:42:31.780
 our

00:42:31.780 --> 00:42:32.480
 sinfulness

00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:32.800
 and

00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:33.659
 unbelief

00:42:33.659 --> 00:42:34.579
 because

00:42:34.579 --> 00:42:34.800
 we're

00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:35.199
 so

00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:36.139
 mistrusting

 God

00:42:38.099 --> 00:42:38.460
 even

00:42:38.460 --> 00:42:39.139
 because

00:42:39.139 --> 00:42:39.420
 we

00:42:39.420 --> 00:42:39.659
 lie

00:42:39.659 --> 00:42:39.800
 to

 time

00:42:40.659 --> 00:42:41.480
 God

00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:42.079
 places

00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:42.500
 himself

00:42:42.500 --> 00:42:42.860
 under

00:42:42.860 --> 00:42:43.179
 oath

00:42:43.179 --> 00:42:43.679
 in

00:42:45.160 --> 00:42:45.400
 this

00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:45.460
 is

00:42:45.460 --> 00:42:45.579
 a

00:42:45.579 --> 00:42:45.900
 prophecy

00:42:45.900 --> 00:42:46.300
