00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:05.820
 Father, you know how it is to trust even people that we know very well, and we know that they're trustworthy.

00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:11.700
 And Father, you know how hard it can be for us to trust people, even trustworthy people.

00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:17.960
 And Father, you know how many times people have let us down, and we thought we could trust them,

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:21.039
 but Father, we discovered we couldn't trust them.

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:27.740
 Father, you know how many of us carry unforgiveness and wounds from people who have broken promises,

00:00:27.739 --> 00:00:32.820
 and just hurt us, and not been trustworthy.

00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:40.879
 And so, Father, you can see into our hearts as to how hard it is for us to trust you, you who is invisible,

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.179
 and how hard it is for us to trust your word,

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.179
 when your word seems to say things that our culture thinks doesn't make any sense.

00:00:50.019 --> 00:00:55.980
 And Father, you know the inward struggle we have on how in many ways we don't want to acknowledge that we don't trust your word,

00:00:55.979 --> 00:00:58.039
 yet still somehow we don't.

00:00:58.899 --> 00:01:01.219
 Father, we thank you that you know us so perfectly.

00:01:01.859 --> 00:01:06.179
 And we thank you that knowing us so perfectly, you don't turn your face away from us.

00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:08.719
 You don't mock us or scorn us.

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:10.099
 You don't hate us.

00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.819
 But knowing us so perfectly, you loved us perfectly as well,

00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:17.899
 by sending your Son to die for us on the cross.

00:01:18.399 --> 00:01:23.099
 And that you pour out your Holy Spirit, Father, on ordinary people like us,

00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.699
 with the ordinary problems of trust, just like us.

00:01:26.780 --> 00:01:29.879
 You pour out your Holy Spirit, and you speak to us through your word.

00:01:30.539 --> 00:01:33.579
 So, Father, pour out your Holy Spirit upon us this morning,

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.919
 that we might trust your word,

00:01:36.459 --> 00:01:39.479
 and that your word might come deep into who we are,

00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:46.100
 and so bear fruit for you that brings glory to you.

00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.340
 And all this we ask in the name of Jesus, your Son, and our Savior.

00:01:50.859 --> 00:01:51.200
 Amen.

00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:52.920
 Please be seated.

00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:04.640
 So, I don't know how many of you were able to follow Helen when she was reading,

00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.379
 but maybe some of you were thinking to yourself,

00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:12.060
 did the Bible, and you didn't have the Bible open yourself,

00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.719
 and you might say to yourself,

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:23.379
 did Helen just read that the Bible says that this guy Adam,

00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:26.460
 that when he did something wrong,

00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:30.039
 it meant that I die because he did something wrong.

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.360
 Did I just hear Helen say that because somehow or another,

00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:39.219
 I'm guilty of the thing that Adam did.

00:02:39.339 --> 00:02:41.339
 Is that what I just heard Helen say?

00:02:42.139 --> 00:02:43.919
 And some of you are thinking,

00:02:44.079 --> 00:02:46.919
 George, if I heard that she said,

00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.679
 like, come on, George, you're a university-educated guy,

00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:53.759
 and how on earth could you possibly believe that?

00:02:53.839 --> 00:02:55.539
 That just seems a bit kooky,

00:02:56.139 --> 00:02:57.539
 and it seems really unfair.

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.939
 So, George, is it saying that somehow or another,

00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.339
 when Adam sinned, we're responsible,

00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:05.959
 as well,

00:03:05.959 --> 00:03:09.639
 or is it just saying that Adam's just sort of like an example of somebody who does bad things?

00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:11.000
 Which, you know what, we can sort of understand.

00:03:11.079 --> 00:03:13.639
 We all have examples of people who do bad things.

00:03:14.359 --> 00:03:16.919
 So, we're going to look at that question, okay?

00:03:16.979 --> 00:03:17.979
 So, get your Bibles out.

00:03:18.059 --> 00:03:19.179
 It can be very, very helpful.

00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.239
 So, you're not just taking my word for it,

00:03:21.239 --> 00:03:22.759
 but you're actually seeing what the Bible says,

00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.639
 and it's Romans chapter 5, verses 12 and following.

00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:26.519
 We're going to look at it.

00:03:27.139 --> 00:03:29.259
 And before I start reading this verse,

00:03:29.679 --> 00:03:30.579
 I'm just going to say one thing,

00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:32.299
 and I should have said this several weeks ago,

00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.780
 and actually, I've been meaning to do this for several years.

00:03:35.780 --> 00:03:38.560
 If we had a service of a different type,

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:40.640
 especially after certain sermons,

00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:44.139
 I would have a Q&A time after the service where you could ask me questions.

00:03:45.099 --> 00:03:48.639
 And it just sort of doesn't really fit with the way we do things here.

00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.819
 So, I'm not going to discuss,

00:03:50.939 --> 00:03:54.020
 I'm going to talk as if Adam was a real person,

00:03:54.740 --> 00:03:58.840
 and I'm not going to try to explain that or anything.

00:03:58.979 --> 00:04:00.139
 I'm not going to do that right now.

00:04:00.139 --> 00:04:04.059
 But what I, I don't know, Shirley, I think, is doing coffee or the nursery

00:04:04.059 --> 00:04:06.779
 or something really helpful and important.

00:04:07.219 --> 00:04:10.019
 But I'm going to ask Shirley to set up a time within a month.

00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:13.039
 I don't know if it will be like a Saturday late morning

00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:14.359
 or maybe a Monday evening,

00:04:14.359 --> 00:04:17.439
 where anybody who wants can come,

00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:21.219
 and we'll have some refreshments, some muffins or something like that.

00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:23.979
 And we'll talk a little bit about the historical Adam.

00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.339
 And I'm going to maybe try to do that.

00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:28.300
 And if you ever come to a, I'll try to,

00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:31.000
 and you can send me a question or something like that.

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.220
 Send me an email if you think it would be a good time to do it.

00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:35.400
 You know, I probably should have done it a few weeks ago

00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:37.240
 when we talked about homosexuality.

00:04:37.900 --> 00:04:39.879
 And, you know, in another couple of weeks,

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.720
 you know, we're going to talk about, you know,

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.540
 how can the potter, you know, God can do whatever we want with this.

00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:48.960
 Does the clay have any right to say to the potter,

00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:50.580
 don't do this to me?

00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:51.960
 So there's some hard texts.

00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:54.740
 And sometimes it's maybe just too hard to deal with in a sermon.

00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:59.400
 It's maybe better to do it over, you know, coffee or hot chocolate

00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:01.840
 or Coke or something like that and some snacks.

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.439
 So I'm going to try to set up a time within a month.

00:05:04.780 --> 00:05:09.160
 And I'll try to, we can talk about the historical Adam.

00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:11.160
 So just so you know.

00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:12.560
 But for now, we're going to talk,

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:17.160
 I'm going to talk as if Adam is a real person who really lived.

00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:22.660
 And is the Bible here saying that this real person who really lived

00:05:22.660 --> 00:05:25.140
 thousands and thousands of years ago,

00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.880
 that when he did something, in some way,

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:31.780
 when he did it, you and I did it.

00:05:32.260 --> 00:05:35.800
 And when he did it, that's why we die.

00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:38.180
 Is that what the Bible is actually saying?

00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:40.879
 So let's listen.

00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:42.940
 Chapter 5, verse 12.

00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:45.600
 And it begins like this.

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:51.460
 Sorry, just so you know what we were talking about yesterday,

00:05:51.540 --> 00:05:52.540
 because it begins with therefore.

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.120
 So in the flow of the book, what Paul had just been talking about

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.300
 was this idea that it's a very, very powerful series of ideas,

00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.240
 because sometimes we might think that if we're,

00:06:05.220 --> 00:06:08.080
 that it's a series of ideas to help us to understand

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:10.280
 that when Jesus died on the cross for us,

00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:15.020
 he died on the cross for people that he knew were bad people,

00:06:15.019 --> 00:06:17.019
 and that in fact were his enemies.

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.139
 And in fact, the 511 sort of ends with this idea,

00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.319
 if Jesus died for us when we were his enemy,

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:27.959
 now that he's alive,

00:06:28.359 --> 00:06:30.359
 just imagine how much you're going to be blessed.

00:06:31.799 --> 00:06:34.319
 And that's now where verse 12 comes in.

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:40.459
 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man,

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:42.839
 and death through sin,

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:46.980
 and so death spread to all men,

00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:48.899
 and here it means men and women,

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.980
 because all sinned.

00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:54.480
 And then most of your Bibles are probably a hyphen.

00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.379
 Just a bit of an aside, I'm not going to dodge this.

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.920
 You know, I mentioned to you several weeks ago,

00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:02.379
 and I've said it in other times as well,

00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.259
 that the Bible's witness about itself

00:07:04.259 --> 00:07:06.780
 is that it's actually God speaking.

00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:12.000
 And it's really important for us to understand something about that,

00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.459
 is that doesn't mean that Christians are claiming

00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:17.000
 that the Bible is perfect literature,

00:07:17.339 --> 00:07:21.959
 that we should all aspire to write like the Bible writes.

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:23.679
 In fact, it's very, very interesting.

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.259
 In the time that the Bible was written,

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:26.959
 there were two different types of Greek

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.659
 that was the common language.

00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:31.859
 There was the educated Greek, or formal Greek,

00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:33.759
 that to our ears would sound a little bit

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.540
 as if people talked in King James Version English all the time.

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:39.480
 And there was street Greek,

00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:42.420
 the type of Greek that carpenters and farmers

00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:45.100
 and tanners and soldiers talked.

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.080
 And the Bible's written in street Greek,

00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:49.020
 not good Greek.

00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:54.080
 And here we see Paul actually doesn't complete his sentence.

00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.160
 In other words, if he was writing this for a university paper,

00:07:58.860 --> 00:08:01.259
 and the professor actually marked grammar,

00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:05.039
 that he or she would put a little circle there and say,

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.379
 complete your sentences.

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.180
 You're not going to get an A plus

00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:10.719
 if you don't complete your sentences.

00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.899
 You've just dropped a mark.

00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:13.779
 You're now looking at maybe at the best an A,

00:08:13.860 --> 00:08:15.480
 maybe even an A minus, Paul.

00:08:15.819 --> 00:08:18.159
 You missed ending the sentence properly.

00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:19.719
 It's a very important thing to notice,

00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:21.039
 is that Christians don't claim

00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:23.300
 that the Bible is perfect literature.

00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:27.139
 We just claim that when we read each word of the Bible,

00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:28.439
 and the Bible as a whole,

00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.300
 we're reading the words that God wanted to have spoken.

00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:35.059
 If he doesn't want to have perfect grammar,

00:08:36.179 --> 00:08:37.000
 take it up with him.

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:38.059
 I don't know, you know.

00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:39.879
 So what did,

00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:41.600
 that was just a bit of an aside.

00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:42.840
 I like pointing those things out.

00:08:43.419 --> 00:08:44.220
 You know, I'm sorry,

00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:46.120
 just, oh gosh, I shouldn't do this.

00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:46.679
 Two things.

00:08:46.940 --> 00:08:48.620
 There's two reasons why I point this out.

00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.039
 It's because our friends who are Muslims

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:52.159
 believe that the Koran

00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.379
 is the most perfect book ever written.

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:56.939
 And it's easy for Christians

00:08:56.939 --> 00:08:59.240
 to try to think the same thing about the Bible,

00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:01.279
 but that's not what the Bible says about itself.

00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:02.779
 And the other thing is that

00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:03.980
 there's always been a bit of a,

00:09:04.179 --> 00:09:05.539
 especially for Anglicans,

00:09:06.059 --> 00:09:09.200
 this sense that speaking ordinary English

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:10.259
 isn't good enough.

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:13.600
 That we should be speaking special English

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.480
 with special accents.

00:09:16.439 --> 00:09:17.899
 Some of you have maybe heard ministers

00:09:17.899 --> 00:09:18.779
 who have what's called,

00:09:18.820 --> 00:09:20.320
 I call it pulpit puberty.

00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.760
 They speak one way when they're normal,

00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:25.120
 but when they're up at the pulpit,

00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.100
 they start speaking with deeper voices

00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:30.540
 or they start speaking with a fake English accent

00:09:30.540 --> 00:09:31.720
 or something like that.

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:33.680
 You know, in other words,

00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.100
 and it's like puberty, right?

00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:37.020
 Like for a guy going through puberty

00:09:37.020 --> 00:09:37.940
 and all of a sudden,

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:40.360
 you know, their voices is going up and down, right?

00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:42.580
 So it's a very common temptation

00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:44.800
 for Christians to think that somehow or another,

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:46.660
 that their English,

00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:47.660
 when it comes to God,

00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.060
 should be somehow special.

00:09:49.059 --> 00:09:51.439
 God just wants you to pour out his heart to him.

00:09:52.719 --> 00:09:54.299
 He's not up there like a professor

00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:56.099
 making sure you're going to get an A plus

00:09:56.099 --> 00:09:58.339
 in speaking, you know, diction to him.

00:09:58.479 --> 00:09:59.659
 Just pour out your heart.

00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:01.959
 He poured out his heart to us.

00:10:02.459 --> 00:10:03.399
 Every word is his,

00:10:03.819 --> 00:10:06.479
 and I think he made it not perfect on purpose

00:10:06.479 --> 00:10:09.839
 so we wouldn't think we have to speak perfectly

00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:11.019
 or a certain way to him.

00:10:12.539 --> 00:10:14.799
 So, sorry, that was a bit of an aside.

00:10:14.939 --> 00:10:15.839
 Probably an important aside.

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:17.159
 Maybe for some of you that was the exact,

00:10:17.239 --> 00:10:18.859
 maybe that was one of those God asides.

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:20.100
 Okay, back to this.

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.480
 Okay, here's the bad news.

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:24.820
 Well, it's not bad news.

00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:25.720
 You're going to see in a moment,

00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:27.340
 as the more I thought about it all week,

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.680
 I've come to believe that this is the most spectacular news imaginable.

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:38.139
 But it was a bit of a shock to me at first this week

00:10:38.139 --> 00:10:40.779
 to realize that, in fact,

00:10:40.859 --> 00:10:44.719
 the Bible is saying exactly what some of you might be worried that it's saying.

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:50.239
 It is saying that when Adam sinned,

00:10:50.239 --> 00:10:52.199
 I sinned, you sinned,

00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.020
 and all of the little babies,

00:10:54.020 --> 00:10:54.080
 and all of the little babies,

00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.920
 I can't remember which side of the building they're being looked after,

00:10:57.020 --> 00:10:58.580
 all those cute little babies,

00:10:59.340 --> 00:11:01.300
 when Adam sinned,

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:06.259
 each person, each human being is somehow in Adam

00:11:06.259 --> 00:11:08.259
 or involved with Adam,

00:11:08.660 --> 00:11:13.580
 and his sin was as if you and I sinned personally.

00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:18.600
 That's exactly what the Bible's teaching right here.

00:11:20.420 --> 00:11:25.720
 It's actually even clearer in the original language than it is in English.

00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:29.240
 For instance, in verse 12,

00:11:29.400 --> 00:11:33.480
 therefore just as sin came into the world through one man,

00:11:34.040 --> 00:11:36.180
 and death through sin,

00:11:36.179 --> 00:11:40.359
 and so death spread to all human beings,

00:11:40.479 --> 00:11:40.939
 all men,

00:11:41.059 --> 00:11:42.519
 because all sinned.

00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.979
 It's actually more literal to translate the because as in whom,

00:11:49.299 --> 00:11:51.179
 but it's terrible grammar.

00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:55.899
 But it's actually trying to emphasize that somehow or another,

00:11:56.259 --> 00:11:59.419
 every human being is in Adam.

00:12:01.439 --> 00:12:03.699
 And so now some of you are saying,

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:09.520
 wow, that's a hard idea, George.

00:12:10.820 --> 00:12:12.420
 In fact, I don't know, George,

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:13.920
 what do you think about that?

00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:15.500
 So I'll tell you.

00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:19.220
 On Tuesday afternoon, after my run,

00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:20.660
 because I've been thinking about this a lot,

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:23.180
 I try to work on the sermon every day of the week,

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.320
 at least a little bit.

00:12:26.140 --> 00:12:27.300
 And you know what?

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.040
 I came to the conclusion on Tuesday

00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:32.280
 that I was just going to trust God on this one.

00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:36.080
 I'm just going to trust God on this one.

00:12:36.780 --> 00:12:39.280
 This is a profoundly non-Canadian,

00:12:39.660 --> 00:12:40.920
 non-Western,

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.940
 non-first world idea

00:12:42.940 --> 00:12:45.820
 that we find as,

00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.879
 I'm going to explain in a moment why we're mistaken about this,

00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:51.259
 but we say it's completely and utterly unscientific,

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.240
 and maybe even a completely abhorrent idea.

00:12:55.280 --> 00:12:56.020
 And at the end of the day,

00:12:56.140 --> 00:12:57.020
 at the end on Tuesday,

00:12:57.140 --> 00:12:58.200
 before I thought about it more,

00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:58.740
 I was going to say,

00:12:58.800 --> 00:12:59.000
 you know what?

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.139
 I'm just going to believe God on this one.

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:02.580
 I'm just going to trust him.

00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.059
 And some of you might say,

00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:06.139
 well, gosh, George,

00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:07.919
 that's sort of very anti-intellectual.

00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:09.399
 It's not anti-intellectual at all.

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.320
 It's not anti-intellectual.

00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:14.480
 In the same way that, you know,

00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:16.879
 I've been married to Louise for 34 years,

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.080
 and, you know,

00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:20.379
 like me,

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:21.840
 she's not a perfect person,

00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:22.940
 but I,

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.220
 she's a really good person,

00:13:25.220 --> 00:13:26.879
 and I trust her.

00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:29.200
 I trust her.

00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:29.519
 And I,

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:29.960
 and,

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:31.720
 and 34 years of marriage,

00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:32.259
 and I,

00:13:32.259 --> 00:13:34.620
 I knew her for four or five years before that,

00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:34.860
 I,

00:13:34.920 --> 00:13:35.879
 I have a lot of ground.

00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:37.960
 I have a lot of experience to trust her.

00:13:39.540 --> 00:13:40.139
 And so,

00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.899
 if she called me up and asked me to do something,

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:44.160
 I,

00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:45.340
 that at first,

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:46.480
 and then I said,

00:13:46.560 --> 00:13:47.100
 no, Louise,

00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:47.920
 you have to explain it to me.

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:48.240
 She said,

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:48.580
 no, just,

00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:50.000
 you just have to do this.

00:13:50.300 --> 00:13:51.320
 Just trust me.

00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:52.320
 I,

00:13:52.379 --> 00:13:52.680
 I,

00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:53.060
 I,

00:13:53.060 --> 00:13:54.820
 I hope I would trust her.

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.600
 And that's not being anti-intellectual.

00:13:58.300 --> 00:13:58.340
 And,

00:13:58.440 --> 00:13:58.580
 you know,

00:13:58.639 --> 00:13:59.320
 so for me,

00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.060
 it was as if God spoke to me in the early part of the week.

00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:03.460
 And this might not mean anything to you,

00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:04.379
 but it really meant a lot.

00:14:04.540 --> 00:14:06.080
 It was as if God spoke to me,

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:07.620
 and I'm not a very mystical person.

00:14:08.300 --> 00:14:08.660
 And,

00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:08.920
 you know,

00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:09.820
 I just thought about it.

00:14:09.899 --> 00:14:10.080
 I,

00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:10.540
 I,

00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:11.820
 the more I,

00:14:11.820 --> 00:14:12.779
 I study the Bible,

00:14:12.920 --> 00:14:14.279
 the wiser I think it is.

00:14:14.340 --> 00:14:18.279
 The more I've looked into things like the historical basis of the Christian faith,

00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.840
 in terms of how the documents were written and transmitted,

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:21.160
 and,

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:22.820
 and the apostolic witness,

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.500
 and the integrity of scholars,

00:14:24.500 --> 00:14:25.799
 the more I trust the Bible,

00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:28.500
 and the more I look into Jesus and his resurrection,

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:30.820
 the more I believe that he really rose from the dead.

00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:35.259
 And the more I think about how the Christian worldview makes sense of human experience,

00:14:35.419 --> 00:14:38.220
 the more I believe and trust and accept the Bible.

00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.379
 So why wouldn't I just trust God on this one?

00:14:41.379 --> 00:14:46.039
 And if I trust God on this one,

00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.220
 and now I look at the world,

00:14:50.259 --> 00:14:50.679
 in fact,

00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:52.360
 as I started to do that throughout the week,

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:53.980
 the more and more and more I thought it was,

00:14:54.059 --> 00:14:55.159
 this was actually a very,

00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:55.480
 very,

00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:58.399
 that this is something that Canada needs,

00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.080
 and that Canadian Christians need,

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.920
 and that in some ways,

00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:10.420
 I have been lapsed black in my ministry upon not maybe talking about this more,

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:15.740
 that it's actually a very profound and deeply needed idea.

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:16.800
 The more I thought about it,

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:18.080
 the wiser I thought it became.

00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:19.620
 That's going to maybe surprise you.

00:15:20.680 --> 00:15:21.120
 George,

00:15:21.180 --> 00:15:22.300
 the more you thought about it,

00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:22.860
 the more you,

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.639
 once you just trusted that this is true,

00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.220
 that you're just going to trust God that this is true,

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:33.220
 that when Adam actually did something wrong,

00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:34.680
 whatever it was,

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:37.420
 he ate of the fruit of the tree that God told him not to do,

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:38.360
 that somehow or another,

00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:39.139
 because of that,

00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:41.779
 sin came into the world,

00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:43.300
 and death came into the world,

00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:45.120
 and every human being,

00:15:45.560 --> 00:15:46.000
 actually,

00:15:46.180 --> 00:15:48.340
 it's as if they ate the apple at the same time,

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:49.720
 or whatever it was,

00:15:49.800 --> 00:15:50.139
 banana,

00:15:50.340 --> 00:15:50.680
 mango,

00:15:50.820 --> 00:15:51.519
 whatever it was,

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:55.740
 that we all ate that fruit at the same time.

00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:56.899
 You believe that's a,

00:15:56.899 --> 00:15:58.340
 how,

00:15:59.539 --> 00:16:00.539
 here's the thing,

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:02.120
 here's the first thing about this.

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:04.500
 Some of you,

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:07.379
 hopefully all of you know that this past weekend,

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:08.779
 there was an apologetics conference,

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:11.539
 and the theme of the conference was being human,

00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:13.379
 and we had a biochemist,

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:14.459
 and a doctor,

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:15.340
 and a philosopher,

00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.659
 and they came and talked about what it means to be human.

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.740
 And at one of the breaks,

00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:22.159
 I went to one of my favorite Starbucks,

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.240
 and there was a barista there

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:25.899
 that I've talked to quite a few times,

00:16:25.899 --> 00:16:27.059
 and she knows that I'm a pastor,

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:28.600
 and she said,

00:16:28.659 --> 00:16:29.740
 what are you doing today, George?

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:30.480
 And I said,

00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.500
 I'm going to a conference on being human.

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:34.279
 And it was really funny.

00:16:34.439 --> 00:16:34.899
 She was,

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:35.579
 you know,

00:16:35.659 --> 00:16:35.860
 pouring,

00:16:36.139 --> 00:16:36.959
 I'm behind her,

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:38.100
 and she's pouring my coffee,

00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:38.779
 and as soon as I said,

00:16:38.819 --> 00:16:40.360
 I went to a conference being human,

00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:42.419
 and she instantly turned around and looked at me.

00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:44.180
 Like,

00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:45.120
 she stopped doing what she did.

00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:46.720
 She instantly turned around and looked at me.

00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:47.800
 And she said,

00:16:47.820 --> 00:16:47.919
 well,

00:16:47.940 --> 00:16:48.779
 what have you concluded?

00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:53.779
 Which I wasn't expecting.

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.080
 And so,

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.200
 I very quickly thought,

00:16:56.300 --> 00:16:56.399
 well,

00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:57.820
 I think we're concluding

00:16:57.820 --> 00:16:58.580
 that,

00:16:58.580 --> 00:16:59.560
 you know,

00:16:59.620 --> 00:16:59.899
 a human,

00:17:00.019 --> 00:17:00.519
 to be a human

00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:01.399
 is a mystery,

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:03.300
 a combination of things we know

00:17:03.300 --> 00:17:03.980
 and mystery.

00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:05.860
 And she said,

00:17:06.620 --> 00:17:06.839
 well,

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.059
 I agree with that.

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:10.180
 That's what I would say.

00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:12.279
 So,

00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:12.539
 you know,

00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:13.319
 here's the thing.

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:15.700
 This idea that we're all in Adam,

00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:17.960
 and at first we say,

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:18.079
 well,

00:17:18.099 --> 00:17:19.279
 that's just wrong,

00:17:19.380 --> 00:17:19.920
 that's just stupid.

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:20.039
 Well,

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:20.839
 why do we say that?

00:17:21.819 --> 00:17:22.660
 Why do we say that?

00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:23.079
 First of all,

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:24.599
 it's not unscientific.

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:26.960
 Science has nothing to say about that at all.

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:28.099
 Well,

00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:29.640
 in terms of the historical Adam,

00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.460
 but we can talk about that.

00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:30.819
 I said,

00:17:30.860 --> 00:17:30.980
 well,

00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:32.599
 that's an off-ramp thing.

00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.139
 But this idea,

00:17:35.879 --> 00:17:37.539
 here's the thing.

00:17:38.439 --> 00:17:39.699
 If I was to say,

00:17:39.779 --> 00:17:41.500
 if some of you were to say to me

00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:47.219
 that there's a thousand-story office building in Ottawa,

00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.439
 I would say to you,

00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:51.359
 you don't know what you're talking about.

00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:53.000
 I know Ottawa,

00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:59.459
 and I know there's no thousand-story building in Ottawa.

00:17:59.719 --> 00:18:01.279
 You don't know what you're talking about.

00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:01.939
 I know Ottawa.

00:18:01.940 --> 00:18:03.279
 I've lived here for quite a few years.

00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:04.400
 It's not there.

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:05.120
 Not here.

00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:06.680
 You don't know what you're talking about.

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:08.740
 You're going against all of the evidence.

00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:10.559
 Just don't know what you're talking about.

00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.740
 If somebody was to say to me

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:15.779
 that the national food,

00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:17.980
 the favorite food of Irish people,

00:18:18.100 --> 00:18:19.940
 is fried pussycat,

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:21.720
 I would say,

00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:22.960
 I'm Irish.

00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:25.140
 Both of my parents are from Ireland.

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:27.519
 All of my relatives are from Ireland.

00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:28.960
 I've been to Ireland,

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.200
 and I know lots of Irish people,

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.579
 and you're wrong.

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:35.799
 It isn't what Irish people love to eat,

00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:37.059
 fried pussycat.

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:39.819
 Irish people don't eat cats.

00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:42.980
 And I would just say,

00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:44.220
 you don't know what you're talking about.

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:48.700
 But do we know what human beings are?

00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:51.259
 Do we really know what human beings are?

00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:52.079
 Wouldn't you all,

00:18:52.220 --> 00:18:53.079
 wouldn't most people,

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.279
 other than the most extreme type of scientist types,

00:18:57.980 --> 00:18:58.600
 naturalists,

00:18:58.740 --> 00:19:00.640
 wouldn't you all acknowledge

00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:02.480
 that to be a human being is a mystery?

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:03.900
 I mean,

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.339
 there's things,

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:04.799
 obviously,

00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:05.120
 we know,

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:05.319
 you know,

00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:05.880
 we know that,

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:06.120
 you know,

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.839
 we know different things about our physiology,

00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:08.339
 and,

00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:09.420
 and we know,

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:09.940
 you know,

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:10.279
 we know,

00:19:10.380 --> 00:19:10.579
 you know,

00:19:10.620 --> 00:19:11.720
 doctors have a bit of an idea

00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.180
 about what a healthy body looks like

00:19:13.180 --> 00:19:14.400
 as opposed to a sick body,

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:14.579
 and,

00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:15.200
 and we,

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:15.640
 we know,

00:19:15.779 --> 00:19:16.180
 obviously,

00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:17.759
 we know things about human beings,

00:19:17.860 --> 00:19:19.220
 but at the same time,

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.099
 isn't it the case that

00:19:20.099 --> 00:19:22.940
 there's huge parts about what it means to be a human

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:24.900
 that's a complete and utter mystery?

00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:25.940
 Like,

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:27.420
 human beings are deep,

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.519
 and they have layers.

00:19:29.779 --> 00:19:30.839
 One of the things you discover

00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:32.099
 about being in a relationship

00:19:32.099 --> 00:19:32.939
 with a person

00:19:32.939 --> 00:19:34.219
 is that

00:19:34.219 --> 00:19:35.879
 they're not simple.

00:19:37.859 --> 00:19:38.139
 That

00:19:38.139 --> 00:19:40.019
 things that happened to them

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:41.019
 in their past

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:43.159
 that you don't even know about

00:19:43.159 --> 00:19:45.079
 have this profound effect on,

00:19:45.199 --> 00:19:45.899
 on you.

00:19:46.419 --> 00:19:46.659
 And,

00:19:46.699 --> 00:19:47.480
 and for some of us,

00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:48.759
 as we've gotten a little bit older,

00:19:48.859 --> 00:19:49.039
 I mean,

00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:49.459
 it's,

00:19:49.459 --> 00:19:49.719
 you know,

00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.139
 it's a bit different maybe

00:19:51.139 --> 00:19:52.759
 when you're just barreling through life

00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:53.819
 with a whole pile of,

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:54.119
 you know,

00:19:54.159 --> 00:19:54.659
 in my case,

00:19:54.719 --> 00:19:55.019
 because I,

00:19:55.059 --> 00:19:55.559
 I'm a guy,

00:19:55.879 --> 00:19:57.000
 a whole pile of testosterone

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:58.419
 and a whole pile of adrenaline,

00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:00.779
 and you just sort of barge through life.

00:20:00.879 --> 00:20:02.079
 You just sort of gallop through life,

00:20:02.099 --> 00:20:03.139
 when you're 20 or 21,

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:04.240
 but you get a little bit older,

00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:05.279
 and all of a sudden,

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:06.199
 you realize that something

00:20:06.199 --> 00:20:06.959
 that happened to you

00:20:06.959 --> 00:20:07.359
 when you were,

00:20:07.439 --> 00:20:08.339
 you were six,

00:20:08.679 --> 00:20:09.879
 or something that happened to you

00:20:09.879 --> 00:20:10.799
 when you were five,

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:11.779
 or something that happened to you

00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:12.619
 when you were 30,

00:20:12.939 --> 00:20:13.859
 or something that happened to you

00:20:13.859 --> 00:20:14.639
 20 years ago,

00:20:14.679 --> 00:20:15.179
 or 30 years,

00:20:15.199 --> 00:20:15.879
 or 40 years ago,

00:20:15.980 --> 00:20:16.779
 that all of a sudden,

00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:18.299
 you realize that that's something

00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:18.599
 that's,

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:19.539
 that's formed you,

00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:20.699
 and you didn't even know it.

00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:21.819
 I mean,

00:20:21.859 --> 00:20:22.019
 it's,

00:20:22.019 --> 00:20:22.879
 it's always had a,

00:20:22.879 --> 00:20:24.039
 a forming effect on you.

00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:24.939
 You didn't even know it.

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:26.059
 You don't even know the depths

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:26.659
 of yourself.

00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:27.759
 And,

00:20:27.819 --> 00:20:28.539
 and how is it,

00:20:28.679 --> 00:20:28.899
 like,

00:20:28.939 --> 00:20:29.279
 what is it,

00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:29.740
 you know,

00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.399
 we don't really understand,

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:31.940
 in a sense,

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.519
 how consciousness works.

00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:35.299
 We all have consciousness.

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:36.700
 We don't understand that,

00:20:36.779 --> 00:20:36.980
 really.

00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:38.539
 How do we understand

00:20:38.539 --> 00:20:39.119
 how sometimes

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:40.399
 we just know something?

00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.099
 How do we understand,

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:43.180
 how do we figure out

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:44.039
 why it is that somebody

00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:44.879
 can just pick up

00:20:44.879 --> 00:20:45.859
 a musical instrument,

00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:47.259
 and all of a sudden,

00:20:47.700 --> 00:20:48.859
 a melody comes?

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:50.279
 Like,

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:51.420
 I wish I could do that.

00:20:51.420 --> 00:20:52.599
 I've never had that experience,

00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:52.879
 but I,

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:53.920
 how is it that

00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.160
 that happens to people?

00:20:55.700 --> 00:20:56.960
 How is it that somebody,

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:58.380
 they can just say something,

00:20:58.500 --> 00:20:59.700
 and it's the exact right thing?

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.920
 Why is it

00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:02.120
 that sometimes

00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:03.200
 you're sitting there,

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.079
 and you feel somebody's eyes

00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:05.799
 on you,

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:07.220
 and you turn around,

00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:08.539
 and they are looking at you?

00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:11.340
 How is it that we know that?

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:14.620
 And if there's so much

00:21:14.620 --> 00:21:15.740
 about being a human being

00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:16.480
 that we don't know,

00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:17.700
 why is it that we would

00:21:17.700 --> 00:21:18.720
 reject the idea

00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:20.039
 that somehow or another,

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:21.680
 that in Adam,

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:23.079
 we sinned?

00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:25.019
 We can't reject that

00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:25.680
 because we know

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:26.920
 human beings so well,

00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:27.460
 as we know that

00:21:27.460 --> 00:21:28.559
 there's no thousand-story

00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:29.920
 building in the city of Ottawa.

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:31.600
 Now,

00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:33.100
 I know that if you're here

00:21:33.100 --> 00:21:33.700
 as a guest,

00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:34.420
 and you're an atheist,

00:21:34.600 --> 00:21:35.079
 or a Muslim,

00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:35.480
 or a Buddhist,

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:36.340
 you don't have to accept

00:21:36.340 --> 00:21:37.480
 that just because the Bible

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.160
 says that it's true.

00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:38.900
 That's fine.

00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:40.620
 I understand that.

00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:42.759
 That's a longer conversation,

00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:43.660
 but I still think

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:46.400
 that if you think about it,

00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:47.620
 this is part of the

00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:48.400
 unbelievable power

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:50.559
 of the Christian understanding

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:51.340
 of the person,

00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:53.319
 the depth of what it means

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:54.160
 to be a person.

00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:58.560
 And it explains so much,

00:21:58.660 --> 00:21:59.040
 I think,

00:21:59.380 --> 00:22:00.060
 because, you know,

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:01.360
 science can't explain

00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:02.380
 why it is that there's

00:22:02.380 --> 00:22:03.640
 no perfect human being.

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:06.440
 Like, you can't look

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:07.300
 at human DNA

00:22:07.300 --> 00:22:08.279
 and say,

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:09.940
 because of DNA,

00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:11.500
 we know that this human being

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:13.180
 will someday tell a lie.

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:16.220
 You can't discover that

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:16.860
 from DNA.

00:22:16.859 --> 00:22:16.979
 Why?

00:22:17.979 --> 00:22:20.819
 Why is it that human beings,

00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:22.319
 that it's very rare

00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:23.099
 to meet a person

00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:24.039
 who's almost completely

00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:24.879
 and utterly evil,

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:25.839
 and it's very rare

00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:26.459
 to meet a person

00:22:26.459 --> 00:22:27.379
 who's almost completely

00:22:27.379 --> 00:22:28.879
 and utterly perfectly

00:22:28.879 --> 00:22:29.939
 morally good.

00:22:30.339 --> 00:22:32.659
 Why is it that human beings

00:22:32.659 --> 00:22:33.759
 do bad things?

00:22:33.919 --> 00:22:35.500
 Why is it that something

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:36.859
 about that's wrong

00:22:36.859 --> 00:22:38.339
 touches just about

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:39.319
 every single thing,

00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:40.379
 if not every single thing

00:22:40.379 --> 00:22:41.339
 that human beings do?

00:22:41.579 --> 00:22:42.879
 Why is that the case?

00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:44.519
 But why is it at the same time

00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:45.219
 that human beings

00:22:45.219 --> 00:22:46.519
 do do good things?

00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:48.019
 And why is it at the same time

00:22:48.019 --> 00:22:49.119
 that not only that human beings

00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:49.940
 do good things,

00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:52.440
 but that they can appreciate beauty

00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:53.720
 and they can appreciate music?

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:55.339
 Like, why is that,

00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:56.680
 that there's this complication

00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:57.700
 within human beings?

00:22:58.019 --> 00:22:59.859
 Well, maybe it's because

00:22:59.859 --> 00:23:02.139
 we aren't just

00:23:02.139 --> 00:23:03.519
 a separate individual,

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:04.539
 and it's as if, you know,

00:23:04.639 --> 00:23:05.940
 there's an individual

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:07.379
 pot, a piece of dough made,

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:08.940
 and that's one pie,

00:23:09.059 --> 00:23:09.519
 and then you take

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:10.099
 all new ingredients

00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:10.920
 and make another pie,

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:12.019
 take all new ingredients

00:23:12.019 --> 00:23:12.779
 and make another pie,

00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:13.940
 and then, you know,

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:14.680
 you wouldn't expect

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:15.519
 all the pies

00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.440
 to be exactly the same,

00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:18.139
 especially if you're getting

00:23:18.139 --> 00:23:18.980
 all new ingredients

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:19.559
 every time,

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.559
 but why is it that

00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:21.759
 human beings aren't like that?

00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:24.819
 Maybe it's because

00:23:24.819 --> 00:23:25.740
 that in some way

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:27.379
 that we're all in Adam,

00:23:28.539 --> 00:23:30.019
 and that when Adam fell,

00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:31.339
 that that touched

00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:32.180
 all of us.

00:23:32.900 --> 00:23:33.859
 And why is it that

00:23:33.859 --> 00:23:34.779
 human beings feel

00:23:34.779 --> 00:23:36.079
 compassion for each other?

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:37.460
 There's three things

00:23:37.460 --> 00:23:38.220
 that are going on right now.

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:39.579
 Every one of us

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:40.180
 probably feels

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:41.139
 some compassion

00:23:41.139 --> 00:23:41.920
 and concern

00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:43.059
 for what's going on in Paris.

00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:44.720
 I've never been to Paris.

00:23:46.679 --> 00:23:47.779
 And I'm not alone here

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:48.119
 in saying,

00:23:48.259 --> 00:23:49.000
 I bet if you went out

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:49.679
 into the streets,

00:23:50.220 --> 00:23:50.960
 unless there's people

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:51.740
 who've just in some

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:52.639
 drug-induced haze

00:23:52.639 --> 00:23:53.179
 didn't even know

00:23:53.179 --> 00:23:54.119
 there's anything going on,

00:23:54.159 --> 00:23:54.859
 but if you tell them,

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:56.319
 they would have compassion.

00:23:57.539 --> 00:23:58.359
 Two of the movies,

00:23:58.539 --> 00:23:59.659
 one of the best-selling,

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:00.619
 one of the top movies

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:01.159
 right now

00:24:01.159 --> 00:24:02.200
 is called Martian.

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:03.579
 The Martian,

00:24:04.099 --> 00:24:04.279
 I think,

00:24:04.379 --> 00:24:04.679
 or something,

00:24:04.859 --> 00:24:05.039
 yeah,

00:24:05.339 --> 00:24:07.079
 and at the heart of it

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:08.539
 is the entire planet,

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:10.379
 one of the aspects

00:24:10.379 --> 00:24:10.720
 of the movie,

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.860
 is the entire planet

00:24:11.860 --> 00:24:13.420
 having compassion

00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:14.319
 and being concerned

00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:15.259
 about one person

00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:16.680
 left on the planet of Mars.

00:24:18.380 --> 00:24:20.339
 The Chilean miners film,

00:24:20.420 --> 00:24:21.039
 which just came

00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:21.700
 in the movies,

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:23.440
 it's touching on the fact

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:25.079
 that that crisis

00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:26.220
 in Chile,

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:28.140
 that many people

00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:29.039
 were riveted by,

00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:30.180
 why is it that we feel

00:24:30.180 --> 00:24:31.200
 compassion for other

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:31.779
 human beings?

00:24:32.900 --> 00:24:33.799
 Is it possible

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.299
 that it's because

00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:37.140
 in a way that we

00:24:37.140 --> 00:24:38.019
 don't think about,

00:24:38.100 --> 00:24:39.360
 we're all in Adam?

00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.959
 And that at some level

00:24:42.959 --> 00:24:43.819
 we sense

00:24:43.819 --> 00:24:45.779
 that there's this,

00:24:46.939 --> 00:24:48.359
 not just individualism

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:49.619
 about us,

00:24:49.719 --> 00:24:50.699
 but that there's something

00:24:50.699 --> 00:24:52.500
 common about us.

00:24:53.939 --> 00:24:55.039
 That there's something

00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:55.659
 common.

00:25:01.399 --> 00:25:03.479
 The biblical doctrine

00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.039
 is that Adam

00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:08.819
 is our covenant

00:25:08.819 --> 00:25:09.920
 head.

00:25:11.940 --> 00:25:13.000
 That Adam

00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:14.380
 is the covenant

00:25:14.380 --> 00:25:14.980
 head

00:25:14.980 --> 00:25:16.579
 of the human race.

00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:19.640
 And that in some ways

00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:21.839
 his actions

00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.720
 or failure

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.480
 to act

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.759
 does impact

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:26.559
 and touch

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.819
 and characterize

00:25:27.819 --> 00:25:30.339
 all human beings.

00:25:30.539 --> 00:25:31.180
 And we enter

00:25:31.180 --> 00:25:32.180
 that covenant,

00:25:32.360 --> 00:25:32.839
 so to speak,

00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:33.399
 with Adam

00:25:33.399 --> 00:25:34.839
 purely by birth,

00:25:35.459 --> 00:25:36.500
 by the fact that

00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:37.559
 human succession

00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:38.459
 goes from

00:25:38.459 --> 00:25:40.259
 the sperm

00:25:40.259 --> 00:25:41.399
 and the ovum

00:25:41.399 --> 00:25:42.299
 of a male

00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:43.579
 and a female

00:25:43.579 --> 00:25:45.500
 and they're put together

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:46.359
 and there's a new

00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:47.000
 human life

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:48.019
 and that is how

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:49.139
 human life goes on

00:25:49.139 --> 00:25:50.159
 and all of us

00:25:50.159 --> 00:25:51.599
 are in that

00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:52.720
 human covenant

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:53.519
 with Adam

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:54.279
 as our head

00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:56.279
 just by biology.

00:25:56.679 --> 00:25:57.099
 And that's what,

00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:57.959
 but it's more than

00:25:57.959 --> 00:25:58.679
 just biology

00:25:58.679 --> 00:25:59.539
 because of this

00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:00.500
 whole thing of sin.

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:02.500
 And it's a very

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:03.339
 rich and deep idea.

00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:04.680
 Just one other thing

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:05.180
 because I have to

00:26:05.180 --> 00:26:05.799
 move on with it.

00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:07.180
 I think you've got

00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:07.940
 the mystery

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.759
 and maybe the power

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:08.960
 of it.

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.420
 You know,

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:10.180
 I was thinking about

00:26:10.180 --> 00:26:11.039
 it a lot this week.

00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:13.059
 The more we grasp

00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:14.200
 that Adam

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:14.819
 is our covenant

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:15.319
 head,

00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:17.339
 then racism

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:18.500
 makes no sense.

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:19.539
 In fact,

00:26:19.579 --> 00:26:20.440
 it's an offense.

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.339
 The more we

00:26:22.339 --> 00:26:22.980
 grasp

00:26:22.980 --> 00:26:25.000
 that we

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:26.000
 have a covenant

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:26.559
 head,

00:26:27.620 --> 00:26:28.180
 the more

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:29.180
 that we would

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:30.160
 have a fear

00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:30.940
 of people

00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:31.720
 who are different

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.319
 than us,

00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:33.620
 just because

00:26:33.620 --> 00:26:34.279
 they're different

00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:35.059
 doesn't make any

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:35.380
 sense.

00:26:35.900 --> 00:26:36.660
 It would mean,

00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:38.039
 it would undermine

00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:39.620
 those who are

00:26:39.620 --> 00:26:41.720
 transgendered

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:43.079
 or experience

00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:44.759
 same-sex attraction

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:46.140
 as basing

00:26:46.140 --> 00:26:46.900
 their identity

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.860
 in that

00:26:47.860 --> 00:26:49.539
 if they understand

00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:51.120
 and we understand

00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:51.599
 with them

00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:52.259
 that there's this

00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:53.399
 one common

00:26:53.399 --> 00:26:54.659
 human covenant

00:26:54.659 --> 00:26:55.819
 with Adam

00:26:55.819 --> 00:26:56.500
 as our head.

00:26:57.859 --> 00:26:59.759
 It would undermine

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:01.199
 caste systems

00:27:01.199 --> 00:27:02.859
 and class

00:27:02.859 --> 00:27:03.859
 systems

00:27:03.859 --> 00:27:06.059
 and sexism

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:07.619
 and racism

00:27:07.619 --> 00:27:09.559
 if we all

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:10.579
 grew in this

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:11.439
 sense that there

00:27:11.439 --> 00:27:12.439
 is just one

00:27:12.439 --> 00:27:13.939
 covenant head

00:27:13.939 --> 00:27:15.539
 of all human

00:27:15.539 --> 00:27:16.179
 beings.

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:19.759
 At a very

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:20.659
 profound and

00:27:20.659 --> 00:27:21.299
 deep level,

00:27:21.299 --> 00:27:22.159
 it would make

00:27:22.159 --> 00:27:23.139
 all of these

00:27:23.139 --> 00:27:23.919
 things

00:27:23.919 --> 00:27:25.019
 abhorrent

00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:25.519
 and wrong.

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:29.539
 And it

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:30.299
 actually would

00:27:30.299 --> 00:27:30.720
 build,

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:32.159
 it would make

00:27:32.159 --> 00:27:33.799
 deeper sense

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:34.779
 why building

00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:35.839
 bonds of affection

00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.579
 in families

00:27:36.579 --> 00:27:37.419
 and communities

00:27:37.419 --> 00:27:38.839
 and across

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:39.619
 families and

00:27:39.619 --> 00:27:40.039
 communities

00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.119
 is not just

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:43.379
 some artificial

00:27:43.379 --> 00:27:44.180
 command that

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:44.859
 God would

00:27:44.859 --> 00:27:46.059
 rest on us

00:27:46.059 --> 00:27:47.220
 but was

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:48.299
 actually part

00:27:48.299 --> 00:27:48.940
 of the way

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:49.599
 that God

00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:50.740
 created us

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:52.339
 that it's

00:27:52.339 --> 00:27:52.700
 a sign

00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:53.359
 of health

00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:54.599
 when we

00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:55.359
 have a desire

00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:56.259
 for bonds

00:27:56.259 --> 00:27:56.940
 of affection

00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:58.099
 within communities

00:27:58.099 --> 00:27:59.440
 and across

00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.779
 economic barriers

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:02.180
 and racial

00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:03.519
 barriers

00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:04.900
 and educational

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:05.740
 levels

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:07.680
 and that

00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:08.779
 compassion

00:28:08.779 --> 00:28:10.440
 should be

00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:10.900
 there.

00:28:11.900 --> 00:28:13.000
 It's woven

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:13.680
 into our

00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:14.440
 DNA.

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:14.680
 A.

00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:18.220
 I probably

00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:18.680
 lost my

00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:19.140
 place in

00:28:19.140 --> 00:28:19.660
 my notes.

00:28:21.019 --> 00:28:21.559
 Here's the

00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:21.779
 thing.

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:23.080
 The doctrine

00:28:23.080 --> 00:28:23.920
 or the

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:25.160
 idea of

00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:25.920
 human beings

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:26.539
 as part

00:28:26.539 --> 00:28:26.860
 of a

00:28:26.860 --> 00:28:27.259
 covenant

00:28:27.259 --> 00:28:29.080
 that has

00:28:29.080 --> 00:28:29.660
 a head

00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:30.860
 does not

00:28:30.860 --> 00:28:31.539
 offend

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:32.759
 science or

00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:33.360
 reason.

00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:34.960
 It offends

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:36.340
 individualism.

00:28:36.339 --> 00:28:40.000
 that's what

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:40.480
 I would say.

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:40.799
 That's what

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:41.179
 I just

00:28:41.179 --> 00:28:41.519
 tried to

00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:41.939
 demonstrate.

00:28:42.959 --> 00:28:43.259
 I don't

00:28:43.259 --> 00:28:43.480
 think it

00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:44.000
 offends

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.220
 it.

00:28:44.339 --> 00:28:44.759
 You can't

00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:45.279
 prove it

00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:46.099
 from science

00:28:46.099 --> 00:28:46.599
 or reason.

00:28:47.579 --> 00:28:47.799
 It's one

00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:48.059
 of those

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:48.539
 things that

00:28:48.539 --> 00:28:48.879
 once you

00:28:48.879 --> 00:28:49.079
 have

00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:49.659
 revelation

00:28:49.659 --> 00:28:51.559
 and then

00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:51.959
 you look

00:28:51.959 --> 00:28:52.279
 at and

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:52.539
 then you

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:53.339
 accept it

00:28:53.339 --> 00:28:53.619
 and then

00:28:53.619 --> 00:28:53.959
 you look

00:28:53.959 --> 00:28:54.240
 at the

00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:54.619
 world

00:28:54.619 --> 00:28:55.199
 you see

00:28:55.199 --> 00:28:55.679
 evidence

00:28:55.679 --> 00:28:56.240
 for it.

00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:57.899
 That it

00:28:57.899 --> 00:28:58.399
 fits.

00:28:58.599 --> 00:28:58.939
 That there's

00:28:58.939 --> 00:28:59.559
 some sense

00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:00.019
 to it.

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.439
 It's something

00:29:01.439 --> 00:29:02.639
 maybe bigger

00:29:02.639 --> 00:29:03.240
 than our minds

00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:03.619
 can get our

00:29:03.619 --> 00:29:04.319
 but there's a

00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:05.059
 sense to it

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:05.579
 and there's a

00:29:05.579 --> 00:29:06.480
 fittedness to it.

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:07.379
 So it doesn't

00:29:07.379 --> 00:29:08.919
 offend reason.

00:29:09.220 --> 00:29:09.559
 It doesn't

00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:10.659
 offend science.

00:29:11.179 --> 00:29:11.899
 It deeply

00:29:11.899 --> 00:29:12.659
 offends

00:29:12.659 --> 00:29:14.240
 our individualism

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:15.079
 and it

00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:15.440
 deeply

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:16.099
 offends

00:29:16.099 --> 00:29:17.779
 our selfishness

00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:18.700
 and it

00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:19.339
 deeply

00:29:19.339 --> 00:29:20.460
 offends

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:21.960
 our desire

00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:23.200
 to choose

00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:24.079
 race,

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:25.099
 our race

00:29:25.099 --> 00:29:25.819
 over another

00:29:25.819 --> 00:29:27.299
 or our

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:28.099
 politics

00:29:28.099 --> 00:29:28.980
 over another

00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:31.179
 or anything

00:29:31.179 --> 00:29:32.279
 our tribe

00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:33.079
 or our clan

00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:33.539
 over another.

00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:34.460
 It's deeply

00:29:34.460 --> 00:29:34.960
 offensive

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:35.460
 to that

00:29:35.460 --> 00:29:35.840
 but it's

00:29:35.840 --> 00:29:36.019
 not

00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:36.440
 offensive

00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:37.500
 to science

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:38.000
 or reason.

00:29:40.019 --> 00:29:40.240
 And it's

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:40.799
 also then

00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:42.039
 something about

00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:42.620
 you know

00:29:42.620 --> 00:29:43.240
 here's another

00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:43.579
 thing about

00:29:43.579 --> 00:29:44.960
 being human

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:47.000
 is that

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:47.640
 this text

00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:48.140
 here has

00:29:48.140 --> 00:29:48.700
 a profound

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:49.480
 explanation

00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:50.220
 about the

00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:50.660
 meaning of

00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:50.960
 death.

00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:54.720
 I mean

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:55.140
 how do we

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:56.059
 understand death?

00:29:56.120 --> 00:29:56.460
 It's really

00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:56.860
 funny.

00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:57.140
 You know

00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:58.180
 when we

00:29:58.180 --> 00:29:59.519
 listen to

00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:00.039
 different people

00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:00.380
 speak

00:30:00.380 --> 00:30:00.740
 if you go

00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:01.299
 to university

00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:01.759
 and you're

00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:02.160
 listening to

00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:02.500
 different

00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:03.240
 political

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:04.079
 ideologies

00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:04.879
 and different

00:30:04.879 --> 00:30:06.179
 you know

00:30:06.179 --> 00:30:07.559
 different

00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:08.839
 sciences

00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:09.439
 and different

00:30:09.439 --> 00:30:10.039
 explanations

00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:10.819
 different types

00:30:10.819 --> 00:30:11.579
 of anthropology

00:30:11.579 --> 00:30:12.359
 sociology

00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:13.439
 psychologies

00:30:13.439 --> 00:30:14.740
 when you go

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:15.099
 and you

00:30:15.099 --> 00:30:15.679
 talk to

00:30:15.679 --> 00:30:15.919
 different

00:30:15.919 --> 00:30:16.359
 religions

00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:17.419
 it's amazing

00:30:17.419 --> 00:30:18.339
 how often

00:30:18.339 --> 00:30:19.079
 they completely

00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:19.500
 and utterly

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:20.139
 ignore the

00:30:20.139 --> 00:30:20.559
 reality

00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:20.819
 and the

00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:21.240
 significance

00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:21.899
 of death.

00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:24.179
 Yet if there

00:30:24.179 --> 00:30:24.559
 is one

00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:25.240
 single thing

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:25.740
 we know

00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:26.179
 is that

00:30:26.179 --> 00:30:26.460
 we will

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:27.039
 all die.

00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:30.359
 and it's

00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:30.779
 something we

00:30:30.779 --> 00:30:31.119
 want to

00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:31.639
 avert our

00:30:31.639 --> 00:30:32.519
 eyes from

00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:33.440
 usually

00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:35.240
 for most

00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:35.519
 of our

00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:35.879
 life

00:30:35.879 --> 00:30:37.220
 but it's

00:30:37.220 --> 00:30:38.139
 there

00:30:38.139 --> 00:30:39.180
 and how

00:30:39.180 --> 00:30:40.539
 do different

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:41.240
 systems of

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:41.779
 thought account

00:30:41.779 --> 00:30:42.319
 for it?

00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:44.119
 Look here again

00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:44.779
 at verse 12

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:45.299
 and then we'll

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:45.879
 keep reading

00:30:45.879 --> 00:30:47.619
 down to verse 14

00:30:47.619 --> 00:30:48.139
 it's very

00:30:48.139 --> 00:30:48.960
 very powerful

00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:49.379
 and very

00:30:49.379 --> 00:30:50.000
 very wise

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:50.680
 it says again

00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:51.920
 therefore just

00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:52.599
 as sin

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:53.659
 came into

00:30:53.659 --> 00:30:54.180
 the world

00:30:54.180 --> 00:30:55.560
 through one

00:30:55.560 --> 00:30:56.120
 man

00:30:56.120 --> 00:30:57.400
 and death

00:30:57.400 --> 00:30:58.900
 through sin

00:30:58.900 --> 00:31:00.100
 and so

00:31:00.100 --> 00:31:00.700
 death

00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:01.560
 spread

00:31:01.560 --> 00:31:02.660
 to all

00:31:02.660 --> 00:31:03.120
 men

00:31:03.120 --> 00:31:04.320
 this case

00:31:04.320 --> 00:31:04.720
 meaning the

00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:05.259
 human race

00:31:05.259 --> 00:31:06.380
 because all

00:31:06.380 --> 00:31:07.039
 sinned

00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:09.039
 for sin

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:10.180
 indeed was

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:10.759
 in the world

00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:11.360
 before the

00:31:11.360 --> 00:31:11.779
 law was

00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:12.120
 given

00:31:12.120 --> 00:31:14.880
 but the

00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:15.620
 sin is not

00:31:15.620 --> 00:31:16.360
 counted where

00:31:16.360 --> 00:31:16.940
 there is no

00:31:16.940 --> 00:31:17.400
 law

00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:18.880
 yet death

00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:19.519
 reigned from

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:20.080
 Adam to

00:31:20.080 --> 00:31:20.539
 Moses

00:31:20.539 --> 00:31:21.740
 even those

00:31:21.740 --> 00:31:22.700
 whose sinning

00:31:22.700 --> 00:31:23.799
 was not like

00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:24.599
 the transgression

00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:25.279
 of Adam

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.779
 was a type

00:31:26.779 --> 00:31:27.299
 of the one

00:31:27.299 --> 00:31:27.720
 to come

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.099
 it's a bit

00:31:28.099 --> 00:31:28.680
 complicated

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:29.659
 here's the

00:31:29.659 --> 00:31:29.879
 thing

00:31:29.879 --> 00:31:31.279
 what the

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:31.740
 bible is

00:31:31.740 --> 00:31:32.220
 saying is

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:32.659
 that death

00:31:32.659 --> 00:31:33.599
 is a

00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:34.039
 symptom

00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.299
 we have a

00:31:37.299 --> 00:31:38.339
 I don't know

00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:39.099
 if we have

00:31:39.099 --> 00:31:39.619
 many doctors

00:31:39.619 --> 00:31:39.859
 in the

00:31:39.859 --> 00:31:40.220
 congregation

00:31:40.220 --> 00:31:40.519
 I know we

00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:40.819
 have at least

00:31:40.819 --> 00:31:41.399
 one guy here

00:31:41.399 --> 00:31:41.759
 who's in

00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:42.279
 med school

00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:43.579
 and they

00:31:43.579 --> 00:31:44.139
 understand the

00:31:44.139 --> 00:31:44.720
 difference between

00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:44.879
 you know

00:31:44.879 --> 00:31:45.700
 you're going

00:31:45.700 --> 00:31:46.240
 to the doctor

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:46.639
 and you know

00:31:46.639 --> 00:31:47.039
 I have this

00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:47.859
 pain over here

00:31:47.859 --> 00:31:48.460
 I have this

00:31:48.460 --> 00:31:49.220
 lump or whatever

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:50.919
 or you know

00:31:50.919 --> 00:31:52.279
 and you tell

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:52.700
 the doctor

00:31:52.700 --> 00:31:53.379
 your symptoms

00:31:53.380 --> 00:31:53.920
 and then you

00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.300
 hope that

00:31:54.300 --> 00:31:55.040
 the doctor

00:31:55.040 --> 00:31:56.060
 and then he

00:31:56.060 --> 00:31:56.700
 or she

00:31:56.700 --> 00:31:57.260
 will ask you

00:31:57.260 --> 00:31:57.720
 a range of

00:31:57.720 --> 00:31:58.140
 questions

00:31:58.140 --> 00:31:58.760
 to see what

00:31:58.760 --> 00:31:59.200
 other things

00:31:59.200 --> 00:31:59.800
 are going on

00:31:59.800 --> 00:32:01.100
 and you might

00:32:01.100 --> 00:32:01.660
 not connect

00:32:01.660 --> 00:32:02.200
 this lump

00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:02.980
 to that mole

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:03.540
 or you know

00:32:03.540 --> 00:32:04.060
 that something

00:32:04.060 --> 00:32:05.500
 going on in

00:32:05.500 --> 00:32:05.960
 your eye

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:06.560
 to that thing

00:32:06.560 --> 00:32:07.000
 going on in

00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:07.340
 your toe

00:32:07.340 --> 00:32:07.680
 I don't know

00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:08.040
 if there's a

00:32:08.040 --> 00:32:08.520
 connection there

00:32:08.520 --> 00:32:08.840
 and I just

00:32:08.840 --> 00:32:09.240
 made it up

00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:10.280
 but they look

00:32:10.280 --> 00:32:10.500
 at your

00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:11.220
 different symptoms

00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:11.700
 and they're

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:12.540
 trained at least

00:32:12.540 --> 00:32:13.100
 we hope to

00:32:13.100 --> 00:32:13.700
 observe

00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:14.960
 and they look

00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:15.160
 at your

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:15.940
 different symptoms

00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:17.080
 and they make

00:32:17.080 --> 00:32:18.020
 a prognosis

00:32:18.020 --> 00:32:18.720
 they make an

00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:19.340
 analysis of

00:32:19.340 --> 00:32:19.960
 what's causing

00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.220
 it

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:20.980
 and so what

00:32:20.980 --> 00:32:21.420
 the bible

00:32:21.420 --> 00:32:22.180
 is saying here

00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:22.880
 is that death

00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.760
 is a symptom

00:32:23.760 --> 00:32:26.580
 that on a

00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:27.020
 very very

00:32:27.020 --> 00:32:27.500
 fundamental

00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:28.520
 it fits at a

00:32:28.520 --> 00:32:28.980
 very very

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:29.960
 fundamental level

00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:30.500
 with I think

00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:31.320
 the most common

00:32:31.320 --> 00:32:32.520
 human experience

00:32:32.520 --> 00:32:33.580
 which is that

00:32:33.580 --> 00:32:34.520
 at a fundamental

00:32:34.520 --> 00:32:35.620
 on a strictly

00:32:35.620 --> 00:32:36.980
 biological level

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.980
 death is natural

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:39.020
 but at a human

00:32:39.020 --> 00:32:39.740
 level nobody

00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:41.020
 experiences death

00:32:41.020 --> 00:32:41.700
 of a loved one

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:42.360
 is natural

00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.740
 we all know

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:47.279
 when it touches

00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:48.059
 us closely

00:32:48.059 --> 00:32:48.679
 that there's

00:32:48.679 --> 00:32:49.919
 something unnatural

00:32:49.919 --> 00:32:50.819
 about death

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:52.579
 and what

00:32:52.579 --> 00:32:54.939
 there's a bit

00:32:54.939 --> 00:32:55.579
 of an ongoing

00:32:55.579 --> 00:32:56.419
 thing that's all

00:32:56.419 --> 00:32:56.799
 the way through

00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:57.240
 the book of

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:57.500
 Romans

00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:58.119
 that we're not

00:32:58.119 --> 00:32:58.519
 going to talk

00:32:58.519 --> 00:32:59.139
 about that much

00:32:59.139 --> 00:32:59.519
 right now

00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:00.419
 but if you go

00:33:00.419 --> 00:33:01.359
 back to Romans

00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:01.919
 2 or listen

00:33:01.919 --> 00:33:02.419
 to the sermon

00:33:02.419 --> 00:33:02.879
 that I did

00:33:02.879 --> 00:33:03.339
 on the first

00:33:03.339 --> 00:33:03.979
 part of Romans

00:33:03.979 --> 00:33:04.259
 2

00:33:04.259 --> 00:33:05.259
 is that

00:33:05.259 --> 00:33:06.899
 Paul knows

00:33:06.899 --> 00:33:07.159
 that

00:33:07.159 --> 00:33:08.079
 what Paul is

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:08.479
 just saying

00:33:08.479 --> 00:33:08.799
 is that

00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:09.639
 if you want

00:33:09.639 --> 00:33:09.919
 to think

00:33:09.919 --> 00:33:10.659
 that somehow

00:33:10.660 --> 00:33:10.960
 or another

00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:11.580
 when the Bible

00:33:11.580 --> 00:33:12.080
 comes it's

00:33:12.080 --> 00:33:12.400
 going to make

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:12.900
 things better

00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:13.420
 when the law

00:33:13.420 --> 00:33:13.840
 comes it's

00:33:13.840 --> 00:33:14.160
 going to make

00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:14.700
 things better

00:33:14.700 --> 00:33:15.560
 I think Jewish

00:33:15.560 --> 00:33:16.360
 people had a saying

00:33:16.360 --> 00:33:17.100
 the more Torah

00:33:17.100 --> 00:33:17.860
 the better it is

00:33:17.860 --> 00:33:19.040
 I got that wrong

00:33:19.040 --> 00:33:19.540
 but it's something

00:33:19.540 --> 00:33:20.140
 like that

00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:21.460
 and Paul is going

00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:21.980
 to keep saying

00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:22.500
 no no no

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:24.300
 that's not the

00:33:24.300 --> 00:33:24.500
 case

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:25.160
 the Bible

00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:26.380
 God's law

00:33:26.380 --> 00:33:27.560
 isn't the solution

00:33:27.560 --> 00:33:30.580
 and so it's just

00:33:30.580 --> 00:33:31.060
 another one of

00:33:31.060 --> 00:33:31.600
 these things

00:33:31.600 --> 00:33:32.080
 that yeah

00:33:32.080 --> 00:33:32.820
 the Bible

00:33:32.820 --> 00:33:33.259
 is just going

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.640
 to actually

00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:34.279
 make us more

00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:34.980
 aware of the

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:35.560
 things that we've

00:33:35.560 --> 00:33:36.140
 done wrong

00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:37.820
 but the fact

00:33:37.820 --> 00:33:38.120
 of the matter

00:33:38.120 --> 00:33:38.860
 is there's always

00:33:38.860 --> 00:33:39.519
 been death

00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:41.619
 we only know

00:33:41.619 --> 00:33:42.319
 a history of

00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:42.559
 death

00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:43.019
 and therefore

00:33:43.019 --> 00:33:43.619
 there's always

00:33:43.619 --> 00:33:44.440
 been a history

00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:45.900
 of everyone

00:33:45.900 --> 00:33:46.879
 being in Adam

00:33:46.879 --> 00:33:49.059
 because death

00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:50.139
 is a symptom

00:33:50.139 --> 00:33:50.859
 of a deeper

00:33:50.859 --> 00:33:51.400
 problem

00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:51.980
 and the deeper

00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:52.619
 problem

00:33:52.619 --> 00:33:54.400
 is our

00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:55.079
 separation

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:55.859
 from God

00:33:55.859 --> 00:33:58.079
 and once

00:33:58.079 --> 00:33:58.859
 we chose

00:33:58.859 --> 00:33:59.599
 to be like

00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:00.119
 God

00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:01.160
 ourself

00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.000
 so that we

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:03.819
 could at first

00:34:03.819 --> 00:34:04.559
 look God

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:05.319
 eye to eye

00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:05.960
 but then look

00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:06.660
 down our nose

00:34:06.660 --> 00:34:07.139
 at God

00:34:07.139 --> 00:34:07.720
 because that was

00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:08.280
 ultimately

00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:09.340
 the human desire

00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:10.579
 that we would

00:34:10.579 --> 00:34:10.880
 be able to

00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:11.280
 look down

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:11.800
 our nose

00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:12.300
 from God

00:34:12.300 --> 00:34:12.600
 that we

00:34:12.600 --> 00:34:13.079
 fell

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:13.860
 and our

00:34:13.860 --> 00:34:14.300
 communion

00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:14.980
 and relationship

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:15.640
 with God

00:34:15.640 --> 00:34:16.260
 was broken

00:34:16.260 --> 00:34:17.180
 and death

00:34:17.180 --> 00:34:17.980
 is a symptom

00:34:17.980 --> 00:34:18.600
 of that

00:34:18.600 --> 00:34:20.840
 and that's

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:21.280
 why we can

00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:21.700
 understand

00:34:21.700 --> 00:34:22.180
 that on one

00:34:22.180 --> 00:34:22.539
 hand there

00:34:22.539 --> 00:34:22.980
 is something

00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:23.860
 natural now

00:34:23.860 --> 00:34:24.360
 about death

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:24.960
 because there's

00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:25.960
 human covenant

00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:26.579
 which we all

00:34:26.579 --> 00:34:27.200
 experience

00:34:27.200 --> 00:34:28.600
 is a covenant

00:34:28.600 --> 00:34:29.320
 all with a

00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:30.079
 covenant head

00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:30.860
 but at the

00:34:30.860 --> 00:34:31.280
 same time

00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:31.760
 that there is

00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:32.640
 something profoundly

00:34:32.640 --> 00:34:33.820
 unnatural about it

00:34:33.820 --> 00:34:34.559
 but actually

00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:35.039
 and I'm not

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:35.380
 going to talk

00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:35.740
 about this

00:34:35.740 --> 00:34:36.380
 much this week

00:34:36.380 --> 00:34:36.680
 I'm going to

00:34:36.680 --> 00:34:37.019
 talk about

00:34:37.019 --> 00:34:37.400
 in a couple

00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:37.640
 of weeks

00:34:37.640 --> 00:34:38.240
 in some ways

00:34:38.240 --> 00:34:38.860
 there's actually

00:34:38.860 --> 00:34:39.519
 some hope

00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:40.019
 in it

00:34:40.019 --> 00:34:41.260
 just as

00:34:41.260 --> 00:34:41.880
 if you come

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:42.480
 to the doctor

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:43.320
 if you recognize

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:44.620
 that this lump

00:34:44.620 --> 00:34:45.599
 over here

00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.539
 isn't natural

00:34:47.539 --> 00:34:49.140
 you can go

00:34:49.140 --> 00:34:49.980
 to the doctor

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:51.240
 and hopefully

00:34:51.240 --> 00:34:51.900
 the doctor

00:34:51.900 --> 00:34:52.700
 can say

00:34:52.700 --> 00:34:54.420
 okay this is

00:34:54.420 --> 00:34:54.940
 actually really

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:55.800
 serious but we

00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:56.880
 caught it in time

00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:58.320
 and I can make

00:34:58.320 --> 00:34:58.760
 you better

00:34:58.760 --> 00:34:59.900
 and so that when

00:34:59.900 --> 00:35:00.599
 we recognize

00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:01.079
 that death

00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:01.960
 is a symptom

00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:04.400
 there is the hope

00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:05.599
 that

00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:06.719
 and in fact

00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:07.099
 this goes

00:35:07.099 --> 00:35:07.619
 with the whole

00:35:07.619 --> 00:35:08.319
 bible thing

00:35:08.319 --> 00:35:10.799
 is the bible

00:35:10.799 --> 00:35:11.860
 might be some

00:35:11.860 --> 00:35:12.940
 type of medicine

00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:14.940
 but it's not

00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:15.679
 health

00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:17.400
 it's not a cure

00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:19.259
 that the bible

00:35:19.259 --> 00:35:20.019
 is regularly

00:35:20.019 --> 00:35:20.739
 going to make us

00:35:20.739 --> 00:35:21.199
 realize

00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:22.639
 that we don't

00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:23.159
 need more

00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:23.779
 advice

00:35:23.779 --> 00:35:25.719
 that we need

00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:26.259
 a rescue

00:35:26.259 --> 00:35:29.279
 and the bible

00:35:29.279 --> 00:35:30.460
 and moral

00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:31.039
 instruction

00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:32.039
 will make us

00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:32.599
 aware that

00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:33.420
 only god

00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:34.139
 can rescue

00:35:34.139 --> 00:35:35.860
 not the state

00:35:35.860 --> 00:35:37.220
 not the tribe

00:35:37.220 --> 00:35:38.119
 not the clan

00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:39.360
 not affirming

00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:40.300
 our sexuality

00:35:40.300 --> 00:35:41.980
 not political

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:42.619
 ideology

00:35:42.619 --> 00:35:44.000
 that only god

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:44.920
 can rescue

00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:46.340
 and that we

00:35:46.340 --> 00:35:47.159
 can cry out

00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:47.800
 and call out

00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:48.180
 to him

00:35:48.180 --> 00:35:49.159
 that he would

00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:49.980
 rescue us

00:35:49.980 --> 00:35:52.180
 so death

00:35:52.180 --> 00:35:53.159
 follows

00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:53.880
 sin

00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:55.039
 death

00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:56.400
 is a symptom

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:57.400
 of sin

00:35:57.400 --> 00:35:58.400
 death

00:35:58.400 --> 00:35:59.480
 follows

00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:00.260
 sin

00:36:00.260 --> 00:36:01.280
 death

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:02.579
 is a symptom

00:36:02.579 --> 00:36:03.400
 symptom

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:04.960
 of sin

00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:06.739
 we don't

00:36:06.739 --> 00:36:07.420
 need more

00:36:07.420 --> 00:36:08.239
 information

00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:09.719
 we need

00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:10.239
 rescue

00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:11.440
 rescue from

00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:11.799
 god

00:36:11.799 --> 00:36:13.259
 we don't

00:36:13.259 --> 00:36:14.279
 need more

00:36:14.279 --> 00:36:15.199
 information

00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:16.880
 about rules

00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:18.139
 take these

00:36:18.139 --> 00:36:18.639
 vitamins

00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:20.559
 memorize these

00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:21.299
 bible verses

00:36:21.299 --> 00:36:22.539
 do 15

00:36:22.539 --> 00:36:23.840
 jumping jacks

00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:24.940
 25 burpees

00:36:24.940 --> 00:36:25.739
 we don't

00:36:25.739 --> 00:36:26.739
 need more

00:36:26.739 --> 00:36:27.259
 rules

00:36:27.259 --> 00:36:28.259
 we need

00:36:28.259 --> 00:36:28.759
 rescue

00:36:28.759 --> 00:36:29.960
 not information

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:31.440
 now some

00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:31.880
 people might

00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:32.079
 say

00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:32.440
 george

00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:32.820
 okay

00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:33.880
 now i can

00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:34.380
 maybe see

00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:34.760
 that there's

00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:35.460
 something powerful

00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:35.880
 about this

00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:36.300
 but it still

00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:36.820
 just doesn't

00:36:36.820 --> 00:36:37.519
 seem fair

00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:38.720
 and it still

00:36:38.720 --> 00:36:39.240
 doesn't seem

00:36:39.240 --> 00:36:39.720
 just

00:36:39.720 --> 00:36:42.300
 and surely

00:36:42.300 --> 00:36:42.960
 there's something

00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:43.500
 wrong

00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:44.840
 that adam

00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:45.519
 did this

00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:46.460
 and i didn't

00:36:46.460 --> 00:36:47.099
 choose him

00:36:47.099 --> 00:36:48.360
 and that just

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:48.840
 doesn't seem

00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:49.539
 fair to me

00:36:49.539 --> 00:36:49.880
 it doesn't

00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:50.740
 seem just

00:36:50.739 --> 00:36:52.679
 and

00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:59.679
 we actually

00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:00.279
 see that

00:37:00.279 --> 00:37:00.500
 there

00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:02.019
 that there's

00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:02.699
 something to

00:37:02.699 --> 00:37:03.759
 this thing

00:37:03.759 --> 00:37:04.359
 but actually

00:37:04.359 --> 00:37:05.179
 considering the

00:37:05.179 --> 00:37:05.799
 question of

00:37:05.799 --> 00:37:06.199
 fairness

00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:07.459
 and justice

00:37:07.459 --> 00:37:08.659
 helps us to

00:37:08.659 --> 00:37:09.219
 understand the

00:37:09.219 --> 00:37:09.859
 rest of chapter

00:37:09.859 --> 00:37:10.979
 five actually

00:37:10.979 --> 00:37:12.259
 when we ask

00:37:12.259 --> 00:37:12.919
 this question

00:37:12.919 --> 00:37:14.719
 because what

00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:15.259
 the rest of

00:37:15.259 --> 00:37:15.959
 chapter five

00:37:15.959 --> 00:37:16.459
 is going to

00:37:16.459 --> 00:37:17.079
 tell us

00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:18.199
 is that we

00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:19.139
 need more

00:37:19.139 --> 00:37:20.079
 than justice

00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.659
 we need

00:37:22.659 --> 00:37:23.099
 mercy

00:37:23.099 --> 00:37:25.199
 and if we

00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:25.719
 are offered

00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:26.480
 mercy without

00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:27.119
 justice

00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:28.659
 that's actually

00:37:28.659 --> 00:37:29.340
 just god

00:37:29.340 --> 00:37:30.480
 showing favoritism

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:31.480
 it's just god

00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:32.819
 picking favorites

00:37:32.819 --> 00:37:33.679
 it's just like

00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:35.239
 irish people

00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:35.960
 thinking that i'm

00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:36.400
 just gonna let all

00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:37.219
 the irish people

00:37:37.219 --> 00:37:38.340
 have the slack

00:37:38.340 --> 00:37:38.880
 and i don't know

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:39.539
 the english people

00:37:39.539 --> 00:37:40.340
 oppressed us for a

00:37:40.340 --> 00:37:41.159
 long time so

00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:41.579
 you know

00:37:41.579 --> 00:37:42.840
 sucks to be english

00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:44.460
 but we like polish

00:37:44.460 --> 00:37:45.699
 people so i don't

00:37:45.699 --> 00:37:46.259
 know you know

00:37:46.259 --> 00:37:46.840
 we'll let poli

00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:48.119
 like if that's

00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:49.139
 that's not justice

00:37:49.139 --> 00:37:49.739
 and that's not

00:37:49.739 --> 00:37:50.459
 really mercy

00:37:50.459 --> 00:37:51.079
 that's just

00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:51.859
 favoritism

00:37:51.859 --> 00:37:52.319
 that's just

00:37:52.319 --> 00:37:53.319
 power politics

00:37:53.319 --> 00:37:54.719
 that's and

00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:55.219
 and so that

00:37:55.219 --> 00:37:55.899
 what what the

00:37:55.899 --> 00:37:56.439
 bible is going

00:37:56.439 --> 00:37:57.179
 to now go on

00:37:57.179 --> 00:37:58.039
 and say is

00:37:58.039 --> 00:37:58.500
 that in fact

00:37:58.500 --> 00:37:59.619
 yes we do

00:37:59.619 --> 00:38:00.599
 understand at a

00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:01.599
 fundamental level

00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:02.899
 we need justice

00:38:02.899 --> 00:38:04.859
 we want justice

00:38:04.859 --> 00:38:06.239
 but at the same

00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:07.259
 time if all we

00:38:07.259 --> 00:38:08.379
 have is justice

00:38:08.379 --> 00:38:09.259
 we are doomed

00:38:09.259 --> 00:38:10.619
 and we need

00:38:10.619 --> 00:38:11.599
 something more

00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:12.359
 than justice

00:38:12.359 --> 00:38:13.319
 that doesn't

00:38:13.319 --> 00:38:14.599
 transgress justice

00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:15.639
 or contradict

00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:16.419
 justice

00:38:16.419 --> 00:38:17.379
 or undermine

00:38:17.380 --> 00:38:18.340
 blind justice

00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:19.500
 or blind

00:38:19.500 --> 00:38:20.059
 justice

00:38:20.059 --> 00:38:20.599
 and make it

00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:21.099
 injustice

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:21.760
 that we need

00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:22.660
 somehow to have

00:38:22.660 --> 00:38:23.320
 justice

00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:24.320
 and we need to

00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:25.000
 have at the same

00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:26.039
 time that which is

00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:27.440
 greater than justice

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:28.400
 but coherent with

00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:28.700
 justice

00:38:28.700 --> 00:38:29.680
 we need mercy

00:38:29.680 --> 00:38:30.619
 and we need

00:38:30.619 --> 00:38:31.140
 grace

00:38:31.140 --> 00:38:32.640
 and that's exactly

00:38:32.640 --> 00:38:33.559
 what the gospel

00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:34.280
 gives us

00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:35.740
 because at the

00:38:35.740 --> 00:38:36.500
 first very thing

00:38:36.500 --> 00:38:37.019
 it's going to say

00:38:37.019 --> 00:38:38.280
 as as as Paul's

00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:38.820
 going to go through

00:38:38.820 --> 00:38:39.400
 this he's going to

00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:40.460
 outline what God

00:38:40.460 --> 00:38:41.079
 has done

00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:42.660
 he's going to say

00:38:42.660 --> 00:38:43.519
 at the end of the

00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:44.039
 day when you think

00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:44.680
 about all the things

00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:45.460
 that God has done

00:38:45.460 --> 00:38:46.419
 what you can know

00:38:46.419 --> 00:38:46.819
 and you can have

00:38:46.819 --> 00:38:47.599
 a great confidence

00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:49.679
 in is that God

00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:50.819
 picked a better

00:38:50.819 --> 00:38:51.940
 representative for

00:38:51.940 --> 00:38:52.960
 you than you

00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:53.559
 would pick for

00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:54.139
 yourself

00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:58.539
 that God

00:38:58.539 --> 00:38:59.519
 when he picked

00:38:59.519 --> 00:38:59.980
 Adam

00:38:59.980 --> 00:39:01.500
 he knows everything

00:39:01.500 --> 00:39:02.519
 he knew every human

00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:03.119
 being that was going

00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:03.919
 to follow and he

00:39:03.919 --> 00:39:04.739
 picked the best

00:39:04.739 --> 00:39:06.039
 person you could

00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:06.980
 possibly pick

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:08.000
 and when that

00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:08.519
 didn't work

00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:10.599
 well what happened

00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:11.219
 let's look

00:39:11.219 --> 00:39:12.699
 verse

00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:13.919
 we'll read verse

00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:14.659
 14 again

00:39:14.659 --> 00:39:15.180
 yet death

00:39:15.180 --> 00:39:15.760
 reigned from

00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:16.280
 Adam to

00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:16.720
 Moses

00:39:16.720 --> 00:39:18.119
 even over

00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:18.619
 those whose

00:39:18.619 --> 00:39:19.200
 sinning was

00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:19.780
 not like the

00:39:19.780 --> 00:39:20.539
 transgression of

00:39:20.539 --> 00:39:21.200
 Adam who was

00:39:21.200 --> 00:39:21.860
 a type

00:39:21.860 --> 00:39:22.940
 of the one

00:39:22.940 --> 00:39:23.440
 to come

00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:24.760
 and Paul's

00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:25.639
 original hearers

00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:26.059
 they would have

00:39:26.059 --> 00:39:26.880
 seen type

00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:29.059
 type

00:39:29.059 --> 00:39:29.860
 has an

00:39:29.860 --> 00:39:30.659
 archetype

00:39:30.659 --> 00:39:34.700
 and

00:39:34.700 --> 00:39:36.000
 he is saying

00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:37.380
 when he says

00:39:37.380 --> 00:39:37.800
 that Adam

00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:38.559
 is a type

00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:38.980
 that even

00:39:38.980 --> 00:39:39.380
 though he's

00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:39.820
 the covenant

00:39:39.820 --> 00:39:40.340
 head

00:39:40.340 --> 00:39:41.700
 he is saying

00:39:41.700 --> 00:39:42.900
 that God

00:39:42.900 --> 00:39:43.780
 will provide

00:39:43.780 --> 00:39:44.559
 a true

00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:45.300
 and greater

00:39:45.300 --> 00:39:45.860
 Adam

00:39:45.860 --> 00:39:48.400
 that God

00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:49.300
 will provide

00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:50.019
 a true

00:39:50.019 --> 00:39:50.680
 and greater

00:39:50.680 --> 00:39:51.240
 Adam

00:39:51.240 --> 00:39:52.099
 Adam is a

00:39:52.099 --> 00:39:52.480
 type

00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:53.500
 those were some

00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:54.079
 philosophical

00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:54.579
 training

00:39:54.579 --> 00:39:56.500
 God will provide

00:39:56.500 --> 00:39:57.619
 the archetype

00:39:57.619 --> 00:39:59.500
 the true

00:39:59.500 --> 00:40:00.119
 and greater

00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:00.559
 Adam

00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:01.940
 and what

00:40:01.940 --> 00:40:02.460
 will God

00:40:02.460 --> 00:40:02.920
 do

00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:03.980
 through this

00:40:03.980 --> 00:40:04.940
 second

00:40:04.940 --> 00:40:05.599
 covenant

00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:06.160
 head

00:40:06.160 --> 00:40:07.019
 who is a

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:07.360
 true

00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:07.980
 and greater

00:40:07.980 --> 00:40:08.500
 Adam

00:40:08.500 --> 00:40:09.720
 see God

00:40:09.720 --> 00:40:10.240
 will now

00:40:10.240 --> 00:40:11.059
 given that he's

00:40:11.059 --> 00:40:11.579
 made the human

00:40:11.579 --> 00:40:11.940
 race

00:40:11.940 --> 00:40:12.619
 that the human

00:40:12.619 --> 00:40:13.139
 race can have

00:40:13.139 --> 00:40:13.559
 a covenant

00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:14.019
 head

00:40:14.019 --> 00:40:14.840
 God is going

00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:15.360
 to provide

00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:16.119
 an option

00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:16.880
 for another

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:17.440
 covenant

00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:18.079
 head

00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:19.179
 that we don't

00:40:19.179 --> 00:40:19.880
 enter into

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:20.900
 by biology

00:40:20.900 --> 00:40:21.860
 but we

00:40:21.860 --> 00:40:23.159
 enter into

00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:23.840
 with empty

00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:24.279
 hands

00:40:24.279 --> 00:40:25.000
 by faith

00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:25.980
 and what's

00:40:25.980 --> 00:40:26.480
 going to be

00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:27.460
 characteristic

00:40:27.460 --> 00:40:28.319
 of this

00:40:28.319 --> 00:40:28.759
 true

00:40:28.759 --> 00:40:29.319
 and greater

00:40:29.319 --> 00:40:29.679
 Adam

00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:30.480
 that's what

00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:31.319
 Paul outlines

00:40:31.319 --> 00:40:31.659
 here in

00:40:31.659 --> 00:40:32.360
 verse 15

00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:33.219
 the thing

00:40:33.219 --> 00:40:33.460
 which is

00:40:33.460 --> 00:40:33.639
 going to

00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:33.880
 first

00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:34.400
 characterize

00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:34.940
 this true

00:40:34.940 --> 00:40:35.279
 and greater

00:40:35.279 --> 00:40:35.639
 Adam

00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:36.259
 is to

00:40:36.259 --> 00:40:36.659
 understand

00:40:36.659 --> 00:40:37.139
 it as a

00:40:37.139 --> 00:40:37.360
 free

00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:37.860
 gift

00:40:37.860 --> 00:40:39.360
 but the

00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:39.920
 free gift

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:40.659
 is not like

00:40:40.659 --> 00:40:41.500
 the trespass

00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:41.899
 that's what

00:40:41.899 --> 00:40:42.500
 Adam did

00:40:42.500 --> 00:40:43.339
 our covenant

00:40:43.339 --> 00:40:43.719
 head

00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:44.460
 for if

00:40:44.460 --> 00:40:45.299
 many died

00:40:45.299 --> 00:40:46.139
 through one

00:40:46.139 --> 00:40:46.599
 man's

00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:47.359
 trespass

00:40:47.359 --> 00:40:48.279
 much more

00:40:48.279 --> 00:40:49.019
 have the

00:40:49.019 --> 00:40:49.539
 grace of

00:40:49.539 --> 00:40:50.000
 God

00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:50.359
 and the

00:40:50.359 --> 00:40:50.899
 free gift

00:40:50.899 --> 00:40:51.359
 by the

00:40:51.359 --> 00:40:51.679
 grace

00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:52.119
 of that

00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:52.779
 one man

00:40:52.779 --> 00:40:53.059

00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:06.019
 us

00:43:06.019 --> 00:43:06.680
 it

00:43:06.680 --> 00:43:07.019
 says

00:43:07.019 --> 00:43:07.300
 that

00:43:07.300 --> 00:43:07.720
 we

00:43:07.720 --> 00:43:08.000
 will

00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:08.559
 reign

00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:09.019
 in

00:43:09.019 --> 00:43:09.519
 life

00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:10.340
 through

00:43:10.340 --> 00:43:10.500
 the

00:43:10.500 --> 00:43:10.680
 one

00:43:10.680 --> 00:43:10.940
 man

00:43:10.940 --> 00:43:11.220
 Jesus

00:43:11.220 --> 00:43:11.720
 Christ

00:43:11.720 --> 00:43:12.220
 it's

00:43:15.099 --> 00:43:15.500

00:43:15.500 --> 00:43:15.840
 therefore

00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:16.400
 as one

00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:17.400
 trespass

00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:18.280
 led to

00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:19.039
 condemnation

00:43:19.539 --> 00:43:19.920
 men

00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:21.000
 so one

00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:21.480
 act

00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:21.760
 of

 life

00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:25.500
 for all

00:43:25.500 --> 00:43:25.800
 men

00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:26.360
 in other

00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:27.300
 Adam

00:43:27.300 --> 00:43:27.680

00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:28.179
 God

00:43:28.179 --> 00:43:28.559
 reacts

00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:28.779
 with

00:43:28.779 --> 00:43:29.460
 justice

00:43:29.460 --> 00:43:30.879
 all

00:43:30.879 --> 00:43:31.480
 are

00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:32.099
 sentenced

00:43:32.099 --> 00:43:32.859
 in a

00:43:32.859 --> 00:43:33.119
 way

00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:33.500
 which

00:43:33.500 --> 00:43:34.519
 means

00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:35.960
 it

00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:36.879
 means

00:43:36.879 --> 00:43:37.039
 our

00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:37.379
 eternal

00:43:37.379 --> 00:43:37.919
 separation

00:43:37.919 --> 00:43:38.239
 from

00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:38.440
 him

00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:39.119
 but

00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:39.759
 Jesus'

00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:40.480
 act

00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:40.679
 of

00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:41.159
 righteousness

00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:41.559
 leads

00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:41.879
 to us

00:43:41.879 --> 00:43:42.159
 being

00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:42.919
 declared

00:43:42.919 --> 00:43:43.299
 right

00:43:43.299 --> 00:43:43.519
 with

00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:43.819
 God

00:43:43.819 --> 00:43:44.079
 and

00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:44.539
 actually

00:43:44.539 --> 00:43:45.039
 receiving

00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:45.579
 life

00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:48.579
 man's

00:43:48.579 --> 00:43:49.319
 disobedience

00:43:49.319 --> 00:43:49.719
 the many

00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:50.179
 were made

00:43:50.179 --> 00:43:50.699
 sinners

00:43:50.699 --> 00:43:52.219
 so by

00:43:52.219 --> 00:43:52.619
 the one

00:43:52.619 --> 00:43:53.039

00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:57.519
 now

00:43:57.519 --> 00:43:57.599
 I'm

00:43:57.599 --> 00:43:57.699
 just

00:43:57.699 --> 00:43:57.799

00:43:58.480 --> 00:43:58.879
 and

00:43:58.879 --> 00:43:59.379
 maybe

00:43:59.379 --> 00:43:59.579
 this

00:43:59.579 --> 00:43:59.659
 will

00:43:59.659 --> 00:43:59.779
 be

00:43:59.779 --> 00:43:59.940
 our

00:43:59.940 --> 00:44:00.219
 I'll

00:44:00.219 --> 00:44:00.399
 just

00:44:00.399 --> 00:44:00.739
 sort

00:48:30.019 --> 00:48:30.519
 positive

00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:33.280
 just

00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:33.660
 as

00:48:33.660 --> 00:48:33.860
 in

00:48:34.220 --> 00:48:34.660
 way

00:48:34.660 --> 00:48:36.440
 when

00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:36.960
 I

00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:37.340

00:49:09.820 --> 00:49:09.960
 see

00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:10.119
 it's

00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:10.300
 not

00:49:10.300 --> 00:49:10.539
 just

 that

 taken

00:49:12.059 --> 00:49:12.460
 away

00:49:12.460 --> 00:49:13.099
 and

00:49:13.099 --> 00:49:13.260
 we're

00:49:13.260 --> 00:49:13.500
 left

00:49:13.500 --> 00:49:13.960
 naked

00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:15.480
 we

00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:16.099
 actually

00:49:16.099 --> 00:49:17.240
 have

00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:18.419
 the

00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:23.779
 and

00:49:23.779 --> 00:49:24.219
 that's

00:49:24.219 --> 00:49:24.419
 why

00:49:24.419 --> 00:49:25.000
 works

00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:25.500
 mean

00:49:25.500 --> 00:49:25.919
 nothing

00:49:25.919 --> 00:49:27.119
 it

00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:27.259
 would

00:49:27.259 --> 00:49:27.579
 be

00:49:27.579 --> 00:49:27.979
 like

00:49:27.979 --> 00:49:28.439
 me

00:49:28.439 --> 00:49:29.279
 and

00:49:29.279 --> 00:49:29.439
 I'm

00:49:29.439 --> 00:49:29.539
 going

00:49:29.539 --> 00:49:29.639
 to

00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:29.919
 go

00:49:29.919 --> 00:49:30.219
 to

00:49:30.219 --> 00:49:30.419
 the

00:49:30.419 --> 00:49:30.779
 biggest

00:49:30.779 --> 00:49:31.399
 star

00:49:31.399 --> 00:49:31.599
 in

00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:31.739
 the

00:49:31.739 --> 00:49:32.259
 galaxy

00:49:32.259 --> 00:49:33.239
 unbelievably

00:49:33.239 --> 00:49:33.879
 bright

00:49:33.879 --> 00:49:34.519
 and I

00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:34.719
 say

00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:35.039
 gosh

00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:35.339
 if I'm

00:49:35.339 --> 00:49:35.500
 going to

00:49:35.500 --> 00:49:35.619
 go

00:49:35.619 --> 00:49:35.819
 there

00:49:35.819 --> 00:49:35.939
 I

00:49:35.939 --> 00:49:36.119
 better

00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:36.399
 bring

00:49:36.399 --> 00:49:36.599
 this

00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:36.859
 pack

00:49:36.859 --> 00:49:37.039
 of

00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:37.379
 matches

00:49:37.379 --> 00:49:37.659
 to

00:49:37.659 --> 00:49:37.899
 add

00:49:37.899 --> 00:49:38.119
 the

00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:38.479
 fire

00:49:38.479 --> 00:49:38.759
 to

00:49:38.759 --> 00:49:38.959
 it

00:49:38.959 --> 00:49:39.419
 well

00:49:39.419 --> 00:49:39.659
 that's

00:49:39.659 --> 00:49:40.099
 completely

00:49:40.099 --> 00:49:40.819
 ridiculous

00:49:40.820 --> 00:49:42.840
 I

00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:43.000
 could

00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:43.180
 have

00:49:43.180 --> 00:49:43.760
 I

00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:43.940
 could

00:49:43.940 --> 00:49:44.280
 I

00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:44.500
 could

00:49:44.500 --> 00:49:44.720
 I

00:49:44.720 --> 00:49:44.800
 could

00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:45.039
 have

00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:45.460
 bulging

00:49:45.460 --> 00:49:45.940
 pockets

00:49:45.940 --> 00:49:46.240
 like

00:49:46.240 --> 00:49:46.580
 this

00:49:46.580 --> 00:49:46.920
 and a

00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:47.300
 backpack

00:49:47.300 --> 00:49:47.800
 filled

00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:48.039
 with

00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:48.519
 matches

00:49:48.519 --> 00:49:48.780
 which

00:49:48.780 --> 00:49:48.920
 are

00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:49.140
 my

00:49:49.140 --> 00:49:49.380
 good

00:49:49.380 --> 00:49:49.700
 deeds

00:49:49.700 --> 00:49:49.860
 that

00:49:49.860 --> 00:49:50.140
 somehow

00:49:50.140 --> 00:49:50.420
 I

00:49:50.420 --> 00:49:50.600
 can

00:49:50.600 --> 00:49:51.080
 add

00:49:51.080 --> 00:49:51.620
 to

00:49:51.620 --> 00:49:51.800
 the

00:49:52.820 --> 00:49:53.220
 galaxy

00:49:53.220 --> 00:49:53.480
 it's

00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:53.920
 completely

00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:54.460
 absurd

00:49:54.460 --> 00:49:57.580
 when

00:49:57.580 --> 00:49:57.960
 I

00:49:57.960 --> 00:49:58.340
 by

 faith

00:50:02.260 --> 00:50:03.039
 turn

00:50:03.039 --> 00:50:03.720
 and

 say

 Jesus

00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:04.840
 I

00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:05.080
 need

00:50:05.080 --> 00:50:05.640
 rescue

00:50:05.640 --> 00:50:06.440
 not

00:50:09.260 --> 00:50:09.900
 I

00:50:09.900 --> 00:50:10.300
 enter

00:50:14.240 --> 00:50:14.860
 is

00:50:14.860 --> 00:50:15.079
 now

00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:15.440
 mine

00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:16.579
 his

00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:26.260
 that's

00:50:26.260 --> 00:50:26.460
 why

00:50:26.460 --> 00:50:26.780
 as the

00:50:26.780 --> 00:50:27.160
 gospel

00:50:27.160 --> 00:50:27.660
 grips

 us

00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:29.760
 we

00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:29.920
 can

 take

00:50:30.200 --> 00:50:30.700
 risks

00:50:30.700 --> 00:50:31.220
 we

00:50:31.220 --> 00:50:31.380
 can

00:50:31.380 --> 00:50:31.599
 risk

00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:32.079
 failure

00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:32.840
 because

 our

 accomplishments

00:50:33.800 --> 00:50:34.220
 aren't

00:50:34.220 --> 00:50:34.420
 what's

00:50:34.420 --> 00:50:34.599
 going to

00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:34.780
 make

00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:35.340
 favorable

00:50:51.940 --> 00:50:52.719
 and

00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:53.099
 how

 it

00:50:53.359 --> 00:50:53.719
 can

00:51:34.839 --> 00:51:35.039
 a bit

00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:35.299
 of a

00:51:35.299 --> 00:51:35.539
 sense

00:51:35.539 --> 00:51:35.779
 about

 what

00:51:38.300 --> 00:51:38.619
 Jesus

00:51:38.619 --> 00:51:38.860
 has

00:51:38.860 --> 00:51:39.059
 done

00:51:39.059 --> 00:51:39.240
 for

00:51:39.240 --> 00:51:39.360
 us

00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:39.460
 on

00:51:39.460 --> 00:51:39.579
 the

00:51:39.579 --> 00:51:39.840
 cross

00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:40.000
 you

00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:40.519
 understand

00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:40.820
 now

00:51:40.820 --> 00:51:41.000
 that

00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:41.320
 Jesus

00:51:41.320 --> 00:51:41.780
 death

00:51:41.780 --> 00:51:42.059
 upon

00:51:42.059 --> 00:51:42.240
 the

00:51:42.240 --> 00:51:42.579
 cross

00:51:42.579 --> 00:51:43.200
 is

00:51:43.200 --> 00:51:43.800
 power

00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:44.980
 it's

00:51:44.980 --> 00:51:45.139
 not

00:51:45.139 --> 00:51:45.360
 just

00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:45.740
 power

00:51:45.740 --> 00:51:46.000
 to

00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:46.300
 remove

00:51:46.300 --> 00:51:46.480
 the

00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:46.800
 bad

00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:47.099
 things

00:51:47.099 --> 00:51:47.320
 we've

00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:47.480
 done

00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:47.700
 from

00:51:47.700 --> 00:51:47.860
 our

00:51:47.860 --> 00:51:48.180
 record

00:51:48.180 --> 00:51:48.780
 it's

00:51:48.780 --> 00:51:49.200
 actual

00:51:49.200 --> 00:51:49.860
 power

00:51:49.860 --> 00:51:50.119
 of

00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:50.820
 somehow

00:51:50.820 --> 00:51:51.079
 or

00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:51.260
 another

00:51:51.260 --> 00:51:51.760
 his

00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:52.360
 obedience

00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:52.920
 becomes

00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:53.139
 ours

00:51:53.139 --> 00:51:53.660
 his

00:51:53.660 --> 00:51:54.340
 life

00:51:54.340 --> 00:51:55.039
 becomes

00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:55.559
 ours

00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:56.119
 and

00:51:56.119 --> 00:51:56.280
 we

00:51:56.280 --> 00:51:56.940
 understand

00:51:56.940 --> 00:51:57.400
 that

00:51:57.400 --> 00:51:57.559
 he

00:51:57.559 --> 00:51:57.840
 does

00:51:57.840 --> 00:51:58.019
 this

00:51:58.019 --> 00:51:58.220
 for

00:51:58.220 --> 00:51:58.760
 everyone

00:51:58.760 --> 00:51:58.940
 and

00:51:58.940 --> 00:51:59.059
 the

00:51:59.059 --> 00:51:59.220
 way

00:51:59.220 --> 00:51:59.360
 that

00:51:59.360 --> 00:51:59.460
 we

00:51:59.460 --> 00:51:59.860
 receive

00:51:59.860 --> 00:51:59.980
 it

00:51:59.980 --> 00:52:00.119
 is

00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:06.480
 I

00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:06.639
 have

00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:07.079
 nothing

00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:07.380
 to

00:52:07.380 --> 00:52:07.680
 bring

00:52:07.680 --> 00:52:07.900
 you

00:52:07.900 --> 00:52:08.420
 I

00:52:08.420 --> 00:52:08.820
 need

00:52:08.820 --> 00:52:08.940
 you

00:52:08.940 --> 00:52:09.139
 to

00:52:09.139 --> 00:52:09.639
 rescue

00:52:09.639 --> 00:52:10.039
 me

00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:11.320
 and

00:52:11.320 --> 00:52:11.619
 that's

00:52:11.619 --> 00:52:11.780
 what

00:52:11.780 --> 00:52:12.340
 believing

00:52:12.340 --> 00:52:12.820
 is

00:52:12.820 --> 00:52:13.340
 and

00:52:13.340 --> 00:52:13.480
 that

00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:13.639
 in

00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:13.780
 the

00:52:13.780 --> 00:52:14.180
 gospel

00:52:14.180 --> 00:52:14.440
 that

00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:14.680
 what

00:52:14.680 --> 00:52:15.039
 God

00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:15.400
 does

00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:15.760
 we

00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:16.160
 understand

00:52:16.160 --> 00:52:16.360
 that

00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:16.619
 it's

00:52:16.619 --> 00:52:17.400
 right

00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:17.720
 that

00:52:17.720 --> 00:52:18.139
 it's

00:52:18.139 --> 00:52:18.740
 justice

00:52:18.740 --> 00:52:19.079
 but

00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:19.380
 not

00:52:19.380 --> 00:52:20.480
 undermining

00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:20.920
 justice

00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:21.260
 it's

00:52:21.260 --> 00:52:21.639
 greater

00:52:21.639 --> 00:52:21.900
 than

00:52:21.900 --> 00:52:22.380
 justice

00:52:22.380 --> 00:52:23.019
 and

00:52:23.019 --> 00:52:23.200
 that

00:52:23.200 --> 00:52:23.599
 this

00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:24.019
 righteousness

00:52:24.019 --> 00:52:24.300
 of

00:52:24.300 --> 00:52:24.460
 God

00:52:24.460 --> 00:52:24.680
 means

00:52:24.680 --> 00:52:24.780
 that

00:52:24.780 --> 00:52:24.920
 we're

00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:25.320
 right

00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:25.559
 with

00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:25.740
 him

00:52:25.740 --> 00:52:26.180
 and

00:52:26.180 --> 00:52:26.380
 it's

00:52:26.380 --> 00:52:26.860
 revealed

00:52:26.860 --> 00:52:27.119
 we're

00:52:27.119 --> 00:52:27.460
 told

00:52:27.460 --> 00:52:27.619
 it

00:52:27.619 --> 00:52:27.740
 by
