Len Richardson – Manifesto of the King – Class 2 – Jesus and Legalism

1
00:00:00,400 –> 00:00:04,520
That say a special prayer.
I want to distinguish hymn,

2
00:00:05,280 –> 00:00:09,440
which epitomizes really what I
hope we will discover from the

3
00:00:09,440 –> 00:00:13,000
teaching of the Lord.
So let’s see as an entry into

4
00:00:13,000 –> 00:00:19,840
the very spirit of it, so that
it really is our prayer as we

5
00:00:19,840 –> 00:00:28,800
begin this session.
Hymn #156 It is good to be high

6
00:00:28,800 –> 00:00:33,440
on the mountain here with these
we have fan revealed mortal

7
00:00:33,440 –> 00:00:42,280
gangs, thy fateful faints of
other days from 156 many years

8
00:00:42,280 –> 00:00:45,240
ago.
Brethren, Sisters, I figured

9
00:00:45,560 –> 00:00:47,280
gathering from there in the
Birmingham area.

10
00:00:47,280 –> 00:00:49,520
I think it wasn’t.
The dear sister came to me after

11
00:00:49,520 –> 00:00:52,400
and said, Brother Richardson, I
did enjoy your address tonight

12
00:00:52,400 –> 00:00:54,640
because it was such a treat to
be that

13
00:01:07,990 –> 00:01:09,430
this morning.
Seriously.

14
00:01:10,070 –> 00:01:13,310
We’ve listened to the
extraordinary powerful

15
00:01:14,150 –> 00:01:17,790
addresses, the light of which I
doubt if we shall very often

16
00:01:17,910 –> 00:01:20,910
hear.
I’ve sat through them at their

17
00:01:20,910 –> 00:01:25,710
feet and benefit enormously from
the studies of these two

18
00:01:25,710 –> 00:01:27,670
bedrooms have spoken to us so
wonderfully.

19
00:01:27,830 –> 00:01:32,840
As I feel this morning, and I’m
sure you like me, perhaps you’ll

20
00:01:32,840 –> 00:01:40,480
be thinking that you have rains
around and you’re not going.

21
00:01:41,400 –> 00:01:44,480
But it may be that you will feel
that in our studies, in the

22
00:01:44,480 –> 00:01:50,040
Lord’s own teaching, we may be
exercising our hearts more than

23
00:01:50,040 –> 00:01:54,960
their Internet.
So for this session, don’t ever,

24
00:01:54,960 –> 00:01:58,320
ever, ever forget the things
you’ve been hearing.

25
00:01:58,840 –> 00:02:02,680
But let’s try to give our house
some exercise now, only teaching

26
00:02:02,680 –> 00:02:07,240
our law.
I read a book a long time ago by

27
00:02:07,240 –> 00:02:10,360
a checkpoint, Hall Cain.
So I don’t really know.

28
00:02:10,360 –> 00:02:13,320
I thought he was some kind of
balanced or advocate or

29
00:02:14,280 –> 00:02:17,280
something, Arthur Hall Cain, and
it was the life of Jesus.

30
00:02:17,600 –> 00:02:19,480
And I remember nothing of what
he said.

31
00:02:19,480 –> 00:02:21,960
It said one thing which was so
valuable.

32
00:02:22,640 –> 00:02:26,120
In fact, of course, if you read
any book or hear any address and

33
00:02:26,120 –> 00:02:29,200
you’re going to pick up one good
valuable point, it’s well worth

34
00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:31,840
sure.
And then I remember from who

35
00:02:31,920 –> 00:02:35,760
saying book what that whenever
he talks about the Scripture

36
00:02:35,760 –> 00:02:40,360
being fulfilled, he reversed it
and said it was filled fruit.

37
00:02:41,560 –> 00:02:43,800
Now I’ve never thought of that.
I wonder if you heard, but

38
00:02:44,000 –> 00:02:48,680
that’s what it’s all about of
Scripture.

39
00:02:48,680 –> 00:02:53,360
The Scripture, it was filled
fruit into this cup.

40
00:02:54,120 –> 00:02:57,040
I think that’s the explanation,
incidentally, why we cannot

41
00:02:59,200 –> 00:03:02,160
developing through the
buildings, the proper thing, the

42
00:03:02,160 –> 00:03:05,360
way in which the Scripture was
being filled, which said, you

43
00:03:05,360 –> 00:03:11,480
know, it wasn’t the final thing,
but it was a feeling.

44
00:03:11,520 –> 00:03:14,360
It was a feeling.
There were other things of the

45
00:03:14,520 –> 00:03:19,640
professor’s work, but in the
crowd the scriptures were held

46
00:03:19,640 –> 00:03:26,720
poorer than ever before, or seen
everything to convince the

47
00:03:26,800 –> 00:03:31,400
picture was fooled in Jesus
Christ.

48
00:03:32,720 –> 00:03:35,080
Now he said in the passage of we
went together.

49
00:03:35,120 –> 00:03:37,760
Think not that I am come to
destroy the law all the time has

50
00:03:38,160 –> 00:03:47,520
proved this joy at the wonderful
thought he came to see all the

51
00:03:47,840 –> 00:03:55,560
hope the law and the not believe
that but in the spirit you’re

52
00:03:55,560 –> 00:04:03,120
going to interpret himself and
in a teaching the very spirit of

53
00:04:03,120 –> 00:04:06,600
the law and the prophet the
bride and heresics after all

54
00:04:06,920 –> 00:04:11,560
were experts in the nature They
used to argue interminently

55
00:04:11,560 –> 00:04:15,600
about the pile of poison and
transition into Maurism and

56
00:04:15,600 –> 00:04:22,280
Christadelphia, but Jesus said
I’m going to see it world and

57
00:04:22,280 –> 00:04:26,160
it’s this chilling pool that we
want to look at in our study of

58
00:04:26,160 –> 00:04:30,400
Jesus and legalism.
You remember when he asked the

59
00:04:30,520 –> 00:04:35,160
question which is the 1st and
great commandment of the law,

60
00:04:35,160 –> 00:04:40,880
The first who great commandments
thou shalt love the Lord thy God

61
00:04:40,880 –> 00:04:44,640
with all thy heart, with all thy
soul with all thy strength and

62
00:04:44,640 –> 00:04:48,160
with all thy mind.
This is the first commanders and

63
00:04:48,160 –> 00:04:49,800
the second lie.
Come to it.

64
00:04:50,440 –> 00:04:56,080
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself in itself, Jesus, and

65
00:04:56,080 –> 00:05:02,240
say, if you happily fulfil the
first, you will be fulfilling

66
00:05:02,280 –> 00:05:06,640
the fact that you and if you
don’t fulfil the fact that you

67
00:05:06,640 –> 00:05:10,000
don’t talk to me about loving
God with all your heart and soul

68
00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:12,160
and strength of mind.
If you don’t love your neighbour

69
00:05:12,160 –> 00:05:17,680
and yourself, the two are
absolutely involved, one with

70
00:05:17,680 –> 00:05:19,880
the other, which is why I think
these are said.

71
00:05:19,880 –> 00:05:26,280
And the second like what we
might call social response.

72
00:05:26,280 –> 00:05:31,360
The billions of the 10
commandments, Thou shalt not

73
00:05:31,360 –> 00:05:36,160
kill, thou shalt not.
These were the social

74
00:05:36,160 –> 00:05:39,880
obligations, the earlier ones
where they make a difference to

75
00:05:39,960 –> 00:05:43,560
the novel gods and the gods and
none of the gods before me.

76
00:05:44,120 –> 00:05:46,880
And then the Lord turns to a
man’s relationship with his

77
00:05:46,880 –> 00:05:51,800
self.
It is a man to man.

78
00:05:52,360 –> 00:05:58,040
In our dealings with our with
our neighbour, we’re sung up in

79
00:05:59,280 –> 00:06:03,840
that thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.

80
00:06:04,640 –> 00:06:09,240
You remember how Paul in the
letters of the Romans I wrote no

81
00:06:09,240 –> 00:06:13,680
man anything but the standing
date of life.

82
00:06:13,880 –> 00:06:21,600
You owe it to every man, he says
you owe it to every man.

83
00:06:23,120 –> 00:06:26,480
We owe it to all men, not just
Christmas.

84
00:06:27,800 –> 00:06:31,440
Do good unto all men, especially
those of the help on the

85
00:06:31,440 –> 00:06:35,880
basement, not excluding others.
And no man anything but the

86
00:06:36,080 –> 00:06:48,120
standing depth that you owe it
to all men, and be comprehended

87
00:06:48,120 –> 00:06:54,160
in this one day.
Love thy neighbour as thyself

88
00:06:54,520 –> 00:06:57,320
love work is no heal to its
neighbour.

89
00:06:57,920 –> 00:07:11,840
Therefore love is the feeling of
and this means that the law and

90
00:07:11,840 –> 00:07:18,160
the prophets were there there
felt love thy neighbour and

91
00:07:18,160 –> 00:07:21,800
thyself.
So in the vow of Moses.

92
00:07:22,200 –> 00:07:25,920
I don’t think the moment that
the Jews were given a kind of

93
00:07:25,920 –> 00:07:30,360
period of commandments whereby
they just had to do exactly

94
00:07:30,360 –> 00:07:41,080
precisely what the rhythm of the
vintage of Chapter 19 in law

95
00:07:42,000 –> 00:07:50,600
into the role we’ve had to then
take as a precedent.

96
00:07:50,600 –> 00:07:59,640
Rather like in law and in law,
the law has his president, and

97
00:07:59,640 –> 00:08:02,360
from this he’s able to interpret
the same law in a different

98
00:08:02,520 –> 00:08:07,760
context to show that it applies
in this situation as much as it

99
00:08:07,760 –> 00:08:11,160
is in that.
And I’ve made the function of

100
00:08:11,160 –> 00:08:17,080
the prophet very largely to
interpret the law in these

101
00:08:17,080 –> 00:08:20,640
practical ways so that the
people should learn what God

102
00:08:20,640 –> 00:08:25,360
wanted from aim, often as their
particular interests.

103
00:08:27,240 –> 00:08:31,760
But you know that the video of
chapter 19 just as an example

104
00:08:31,760 –> 00:08:36,880
verse 9 and when you leave the
harvest of your land, thou shalt

105
00:08:36,880 –> 00:08:39,880
not thoroughly raise the
permanent thy fields.

106
00:08:40,360 –> 00:08:44,440
Thy ever shalt thou gather the
gleaming of thy husband and thou

107
00:08:44,440 –> 00:08:48,520
shalt not glean in thy vineyard
thy gather every grave of thy

108
00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:51,680
vineyard.
Thou shalt leave me to the prone

109
00:08:51,680 –> 00:08:57,120
stream that I am the Lord your
God and the filling voice of

110
00:08:57,120 –> 00:08:59,200
this book.
Even in Old Testament time,

111
00:09:00,000 –> 00:09:03,160
wouldn’t he not only I got the
meticulous insight.

112
00:09:03,520 –> 00:09:08,080
We must leave one grave or we
mustn’t lean enough, but they

113
00:09:08,080 –> 00:09:13,880
should be kind to the poor, to
the widow, to the neglected.

114
00:09:14,000 –> 00:09:17,520
This was the practical.
It was being illustrated in this

115
00:09:17,520 –> 00:09:20,320
law.
They should have been like the

116
00:09:20,320 –> 00:09:25,520
prophets and wise men of Israel.
What would be, I think, the

117
00:09:26,040 –> 00:09:29,320
truth.
So they’re teaching kindness and

118
00:09:29,720 –> 00:09:34,120
remember being merciful for
those who are left well off for

119
00:09:34,120 –> 00:09:39,400
them first.
Or in verse and 14 Thou shalt

120
00:09:39,440 –> 00:09:44,760
not purse the death, nor for the
stumbling before the blind, but

121
00:09:44,760 –> 00:09:48,760
shall fear thy God.
I am alone now.

122
00:09:49,440 –> 00:09:52,080
You could curse the death as
much as you, like me, wouldn’t.

123
00:09:53,520 –> 00:09:55,680
So why shouldn’t you curse the
death?

124
00:09:57,120 –> 00:10:01,600
It was trying to implicate the
principle of being the people

125
00:10:01,600 –> 00:10:05,440
who are handed.
You mustn’t curse the death

126
00:10:05,440 –> 00:10:08,800
because you shan’t rebound them
in that way you would be

127
00:10:09,360 –> 00:10:13,480
thankful for.
This is the feeling of the law.

128
00:10:14,040 –> 00:10:18,280
They weren’t that intended by Oh
well, we mustn’t be this dead

129
00:10:18,320 –> 00:10:21,880
man, but they would be beyond
that and be trying in the

130
00:10:21,880 –> 00:10:27,440
Zydebra and the the blind was a
stumbling block.

131
00:10:28,000 –> 00:10:30,480
They wouldn’t know.
They might just stumble over it.

132
00:10:30,480 –> 00:10:35,680
But you were to be thoughtful
doesn’t just mean you weren’t

133
00:10:35,680 –> 00:10:39,120
the deliberate.
I wouldn’t be anybody in there

134
00:10:39,120 –> 00:10:46,400
so deliberate if I need you to
be careful for the blind people,

135
00:10:46,880 –> 00:10:57,160
because they missed a world
which would be of kindness to

136
00:10:57,160 –> 00:11:00,160
the handicap.
The people who are left well

137
00:11:00,160 –> 00:11:04,880
blessed than ourselves, compared
to the danger of being a filling

138
00:11:04,880 –> 00:11:07,520
full of them.
They couldn’t expect them to

139
00:11:07,520 –> 00:11:11,600
keep the letter, but to
interpret it in their general

140
00:11:11,600 –> 00:11:14,960
attitude to their fellow human
beings.

141
00:11:16,160 –> 00:11:19,600
Or worth everything.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother

142
00:11:19,600 –> 00:11:23,160
in thine heart.
Thou shalt in any wise rebuke

143
00:11:23,160 –> 00:11:27,040
thy neighbour.
They’re not bothered, they shall

144
00:11:27,040 –> 00:11:30,960
not avenge.
Will there any grudge against

145
00:11:31,040 –> 00:11:40,320
the children by peace that Jesus
the great commandment of the law

146
00:11:40,320 –> 00:11:47,480
lifts this verse out in the
context of not avenging or

147
00:11:47,480 –> 00:11:52,720
bearing grudges or going up with
a tail bearer all here the tail

148
00:11:52,720 –> 00:11:58,840
bearer among the people kind and
benevolent, generous minded.

149
00:11:59,280 –> 00:12:04,680
They will love your neighbour
and this is the healing book of

150
00:12:04,680 –> 00:12:08,800
the law and mode.
Now these were I think that some

151
00:12:09,480 –> 00:12:14,520
of the pictures that may there
in the law which Jesus claimed

152
00:12:14,520 –> 00:12:18,760
to feel fuller than they’ve ever
been filled before.

153
00:12:20,120 –> 00:12:28,960
Love at labour, at work in the
area of love and Jesus.

154
00:12:29,400 –> 00:12:35,760
Similarly that the wit we read
together is taking hold of Old

155
00:12:35,760 –> 00:12:41,600
Testament theology, you may say,
and giving it the fullness that

156
00:12:42,840 –> 00:12:47,960
was there all the time,
abstracted and rich.

157
00:12:47,960 –> 00:12:52,600
Indeed, the prophets often did
extract and belay by the men of

158
00:12:52,600 –> 00:12:59,560
their own time, because they
were more healing these ancient

159
00:12:59,560 –> 00:13:05,280
Lords rather given to them, but
were miserably paining in their

160
00:13:05,280 –> 00:13:09,720
duty to their neighbours.
So I don’t think Jesus was

161
00:13:10,120 –> 00:13:14,640
giving us another legal house to
replace the old.

162
00:13:16,400 –> 00:13:25,680
We sometimes almost talk as
though what Jesus did was coming

163
00:13:25,680 –> 00:13:27,800
with us another 10 commandments,
as it were.

164
00:13:27,800 –> 00:13:30,200
But instead of the 10
commandments, we’ve got the law

165
00:13:30,200 –> 00:13:32,520
of Christ.
And we could almost actually

166
00:13:32,880 –> 00:13:37,040
tick those things as the Jews
could tick the 10 commandments

167
00:13:37,040 –> 00:13:41,160
and play like a man and let
Jesus all these things, as I’ve

168
00:13:41,160 –> 00:13:45,160
done for my youth, upwards.
I don’t think that was the kind

169
00:13:45,200 –> 00:13:47,640
of teaching that we get in the
sermon on the mouth.

170
00:13:48,120 –> 00:13:51,600
I don’t think things have
intended us to take it as a code

171
00:13:51,600 –> 00:13:58,840
of laws, but as examples of the
filling fool of all God’s

172
00:13:58,840 –> 00:14:02,520
requirements that have been
there for a long time, that has

173
00:14:02,520 –> 00:14:05,680
always wanted the same kind of
people.

174
00:14:06,600 –> 00:14:10,760
He had all wanted the same kind
of behaviour, the same kind of

175
00:14:10,800 –> 00:14:15,080
characteristics, whether under
the law or the prophet or in the

176
00:14:15,160 –> 00:14:18,120
fullness of his revelation in
the Lord.

177
00:14:18,880 –> 00:14:23,280
Jesus is doing his fame.
This is the kind of person God

178
00:14:23,280 –> 00:14:25,920
is living, and he’s got the kind
of people he’s got to be.

179
00:14:26,160 –> 00:14:29,800
And he’s really informed these
Old Testament principles.

180
00:14:32,160 –> 00:14:36,280
The disciples must work them out
for themselves.

181
00:14:37,560 –> 00:14:40,440
Now that’s where I think the
picture of Jesus.

182
00:14:41,600 –> 00:14:47,720
It’s sometimes what we’ve
supplied but half applied.

183
00:14:47,720 –> 00:14:51,080
We don’t tend to think we don’t
have to evaluate him or

184
00:14:51,080 –> 00:14:54,480
something, but there’s the
answer saying it’s not like

185
00:14:54,640 –> 00:14:58,400
that.
You’ve got to pull it, pull

186
00:14:58,400 –> 00:15:02,480
yourself in your own.
You’ve got to see these

187
00:15:02,480 –> 00:15:07,320
teachings of Jesus as
expressions of the love of God

188
00:15:07,720 –> 00:15:12,240
operated in human beings in
loving their neighbour, and find

189
00:15:12,240 –> 00:15:17,360
your own way of expressing it in
such a way that the principles

190
00:15:17,360 –> 00:15:25,280
are fulfilled in your life.
And I don’t think therefore,

191
00:15:25,280 –> 00:15:29,040
that the application, now I’m
getting onto the thorny part.

192
00:15:31,360 –> 00:15:36,680
I don’t think the application
will necessarily be the same for

193
00:15:36,680 –> 00:15:40,440
any two people.
That is the same you may find

194
00:15:40,720 –> 00:15:44,520
that in the experience and the
spirituality of one brother.

195
00:15:45,200 –> 00:15:51,400
He may be on the rise to a
higher fulfillment than I who I

196
00:15:51,400 –> 00:15:56,800
am a poor literature and though
I may be trying to fuel the

197
00:15:56,800 –> 00:16:01,600
teaching of Jesus, who in my own
life may not be able to reach up

198
00:16:01,600 –> 00:16:04,280
to the heights of this other
person.

199
00:16:05,560 –> 00:16:10,000
So we are faith very often of
the situation in which two

200
00:16:10,000 –> 00:16:14,120
people may take different ways
to hear and both be right.

201
00:16:16,080 –> 00:16:19,680
And this you see, for example,
in the 14th chapter of Romans

202
00:16:19,680 –> 00:16:24,160
that I haven’t got time to look
at, but in the 14th chapter of

203
00:16:24,160 –> 00:16:29,400
Romans over this argumentation
was going on within the lust of

204
00:16:29,400 –> 00:16:35,240
Roman those days about meats and
drinks and days and festivals.

205
00:16:35,840 –> 00:16:41,520
One felt he could easily eat
anything, drink anything, the

206
00:16:41,520 –> 00:16:48,440
Lord and lady for any of it.
He felt that this observe of the

207
00:16:48,440 –> 00:16:52,440
feast and past days of the thing
of the past type of made it of

208
00:16:52,440 –> 00:17:00,400
the lady was right.
Brother has been being brought

209
00:17:00,400 –> 00:17:06,160
up in the Jewish tradition, and
we put to him with Pharisee

210
00:17:08,480 –> 00:17:16,000
nothing but circumstance, to he
with the denial of God in his

211
00:17:16,119 –> 00:17:20,440
own conscience.
He was right too.

212
00:17:20,440 –> 00:17:23,960
And this man who sat in
judgement on his brother was

213
00:17:23,960 –> 00:17:27,119
wrong, not because of his point
of view, but because of the

214
00:17:27,119 –> 00:17:31,920
point of view they were both
serving by him in their own way,

215
00:17:31,960 –> 00:17:35,000
and according to their own
understanding of the

216
00:17:35,440 –> 00:17:39,920
requirements of Christ.
And the only thing that was

217
00:17:39,920 –> 00:17:43,880
wrong in their belaving is one
another who are now the judges,

218
00:17:44,000 –> 00:17:48,320
another man’s brother, another
man’s servant to his own master.

219
00:17:48,560 –> 00:17:52,000
He stands above all his reign.
He shall be holding up, for the

220
00:17:52,040 –> 00:17:58,600
rule is able to hold him up.
And he points under the judgment

221
00:17:58,640 –> 00:18:02,120
things of Christ, as where all
the final decision made, which

222
00:18:02,120 –> 00:18:05,240
rules before the judgment things
of Christ.

223
00:18:05,240 –> 00:18:10,960
I heard you that judges your
brother and who are you that

224
00:18:10,960 –> 00:18:13,040
ridicules your brother for his
crudeness?

225
00:18:14,480 –> 00:18:20,920
So you see in both, in these
cases, they were both right in

226
00:18:20,920 –> 00:18:27,280
their interpretation according
to their faith pension and they

227
00:18:27,280 –> 00:18:32,000
were both wrong when they
ridiculed or brushed aside the

228
00:18:32,200 –> 00:18:36,120
school, the interpretation of
their brother.

229
00:18:38,840 –> 00:18:44,920
I’m going to try to explain it
in a little detail and, and I

230
00:18:44,920 –> 00:18:49,520
dare say you won’t agree with
me, but I think you’ll find in

231
00:18:49,520 –> 00:18:53,560
the New Testament teaching, in
the teaching of gender and in

232
00:18:53,560 –> 00:18:58,360
the teaching of the apostles
that there are two levels of

233
00:18:58,400 –> 00:19:03,760
application that in in many
cases we are receiving the

234
00:19:03,760 –> 00:19:09,040
council of perfection with the
understanding on the part of the

235
00:19:09,040 –> 00:19:11,440
Lord and on the partners
apostles.

236
00:19:12,080 –> 00:19:16,320
The perception is not attainable
for poor human nature.

237
00:19:16,920 –> 00:19:20,200
They’re very often and a
foundation for the weakness of

238
00:19:20,440 –> 00:19:24,520
human nature, while at the same
time the ideal was set before us

239
00:19:24,760 –> 00:19:29,200
as the true improvement and
everything.

240
00:19:31,880 –> 00:19:39,240
Let me give you an example in
Matthew chapter 19 and the night

241
00:19:39,240 –> 00:19:43,080
that to do with interestingly
enough, divorced.

242
00:19:44,760 –> 00:19:48,880
And I say unto you, whosoever
shall put away his wife accepted

243
00:19:48,960 –> 00:19:51,960
into fornication and shall marry
and welcome.

244
00:19:51,960 –> 00:19:55,160
This is adultery.
And this I marry her, which is

245
00:19:55,160 –> 00:19:58,520
put away not to adultery.
Now we’ve got plenty of

246
00:19:58,600 –> 00:20:03,720
arguments about this.
His disciples say unto him, It’s

247
00:20:03,720 –> 00:20:06,680
the case of the man, they say
with his wife, it’s not good to

248
00:20:06,680 –> 00:20:08,640
marry.
I never understand that.

249
00:20:08,640 –> 00:20:11,760
I know that somebody may that be
able to explain it to me.

250
00:20:11,760 –> 00:20:14,760
But they seem to be women who
can’t get rid of her.

251
00:20:14,760 –> 00:20:18,000
It’s best not to marry.
I don’t know why they should say

252
00:20:20,120 –> 00:20:23,240
it’s the case of the man.
They say to his wife, it’s not

253
00:20:23,240 –> 00:20:26,480
good to marry.
Then he said unto them, All men

254
00:20:26,600 –> 00:20:28,000
cannot receive this.
Say.

255
00:20:28,000 –> 00:20:32,840
He say that he’s a given.
Therefore there are some units

256
00:20:33,200 –> 00:20:37,080
with disabled in the mother’s
room, and there are some units

257
00:20:37,120 –> 00:20:40,480
with the main units of men, and
there are big units which are

258
00:20:40,480 –> 00:20:42,760
made of themselves.
Look, for the Kingdom of

259
00:20:42,760 –> 00:20:50,440
heaven’s sake, He didn’t able to
receive it, let him receive it.

260
00:20:51,040 –> 00:20:55,480
Now it seems the thing that
Jesus will say here, some men

261
00:20:55,480 –> 00:21:01,560
remain unmarried because I have
chosen so to do as Paul said in

262
00:21:01,560 –> 00:21:04,200
the 7th chapter of Corinthians,
by what?

263
00:21:04,200 –> 00:21:06,600
That all men were, even as I
that they might devote

264
00:21:06,760 –> 00:21:09,080
themselves the more fruit of the
Lord served.

265
00:21:09,080 –> 00:21:13,440
And some are incapacitated by
nature, and some in those that

266
00:21:14,280 –> 00:21:18,880
had been made incapacitated by
the cruelty and inhumanity of

267
00:21:18,880 –> 00:21:23,640
men.
But Jesus said it’s up to you if

268
00:21:23,640 –> 00:21:27,640
you’re able to receive it.
Receive it.

269
00:21:27,880 –> 00:21:32,560
Just as Paul said in Corinthians
Chapter 7, it’s the best thing

270
00:21:32,560 –> 00:21:35,920
generally for all men to have a
wife and all wives to have a

271
00:21:35,920 –> 00:21:37,360
husband.
And they don’t say, wouldn’t

272
00:21:40,520 –> 00:21:44,760
they?
You know, you know what it says.

273
00:21:44,800 –> 00:21:51,320
You think that wiser, wiser for
a man to have a wife in order

274
00:21:51,320 –> 00:21:56,800
that he shall be offended by the
sexual sins, he shall have a

275
00:21:56,800 –> 00:22:00,560
wife, a companion.
And it is a good thing, Paul

276
00:22:00,640 –> 00:22:05,520
says impossible.
It feels so inclined that you

277
00:22:05,720 –> 00:22:09,480
are going to dedicate yourself
wholly to the Lord.

278
00:22:09,480 –> 00:22:12,720
You will be able to serve the
Lord without distraction.

279
00:22:12,720 –> 00:22:17,480
And I love life.
It is possible, although he

280
00:22:17,560 –> 00:22:21,920
recognized that most wouldn’t.
And for the majority, it

281
00:22:21,920 –> 00:22:27,240
wouldn’t be the best cause, but
for some it might be quite wise

282
00:22:27,280 –> 00:22:30,600
and good and right that they
should remain even.

283
00:22:31,400 –> 00:22:35,800
And that I think is the
significance of the of the 7th

284
00:22:35,800 –> 00:22:38,240
chapter of the because this is
my second example.

285
00:22:41,120 –> 00:22:47,920
One group in Chapter 7.
This funny bit about giving her

286
00:22:47,920 –> 00:22:51,440
in marriage and not giving her
in marriage.

287
00:22:53,000 –> 00:22:56,640
The key thing is blood.
There’s two ways of looking at

288
00:22:56,640 –> 00:22:58,960
it.
And I don’t think anybody knows

289
00:22:58,960 –> 00:23:01,080
really exactly what what Paul
didn’t.

290
00:23:01,080 –> 00:23:05,720
I don’t think it’s possible for
us to know exactly he he may

291
00:23:05,800 –> 00:23:08,920
have been talking about the
father giving his daughter in

292
00:23:09,040 –> 00:23:11,840
marriage, or he may have been
talking about about the man in

293
00:23:12,040 –> 00:23:15,920
his own virginity remaining
single in his service to the

294
00:23:15,920 –> 00:23:17,920
Lord.
I think perfectly.

295
00:23:18,840 –> 00:23:23,080
I think he’ll be really talking
about the father disposing of

296
00:23:23,080 –> 00:23:25,160
his daughter in marriage.
He’s been talking.

297
00:23:25,240 –> 00:23:30,000
I think he’s talking about the
man deciding within himself that

298
00:23:30,000 –> 00:23:37,320
he will maintain his virginity,
that he will not marry and wait

299
00:23:37,320 –> 00:23:39,000
for the Lord without
distraction.

300
00:23:39,000 –> 00:23:40,440
That’s the point I’m getting at
it.

301
00:23:43,000 –> 00:23:46,320
He that he is in marriage, not
her.

302
00:23:46,320 –> 00:23:50,640
You’re finding delight.
He’s in marriage very well, but

303
00:23:50,640 –> 00:23:55,480
he that he is nothing do it
better.

304
00:23:56,560 –> 00:24:00,880
But there are two perfectly
legitimate forces that may be

305
00:24:00,960 –> 00:24:04,840
pursued, but one is better than
the other.

306
00:24:04,840 –> 00:24:08,480
To say the man who gives in
marriage is perfectly at liberty

307
00:24:08,480 –> 00:24:10,240
to do so.
It’s perfectly right.

308
00:24:10,240 –> 00:24:16,840
And the loving wrong man who
withholds himself for marriage

309
00:24:17,400 –> 00:24:22,040
and all that he might serve.
The Lord better has trailer than

310
00:24:22,040 –> 00:24:27,080
Himself, as I think in English
by the one new translation, the

311
00:24:27,080 –> 00:24:32,360
better of two right causes.
Now there is the knob of this

312
00:24:32,480 –> 00:24:35,840
point, the better of two right
causes.

313
00:24:36,480 –> 00:24:43,560
So often in our deliberations, I
nearly said argument in our

314
00:24:43,560 –> 00:24:47,880
deliberations about the
interpretation of Scripture, and

315
00:24:47,880 –> 00:24:51,480
especially the interpretation of
our responsibilities under the

316
00:24:51,520 –> 00:24:55,680
Scripture.
So we thought everywhere must be

317
00:24:55,720 –> 00:24:59,440
the only possible one, because
this is right where there must

318
00:24:59,520 –> 00:25:03,200
be wrong.
But it isn’t said to the Sir.

319
00:25:04,160 –> 00:25:07,640
It may be that there are two
riot corpses.

320
00:25:07,840 –> 00:25:12,040
One is perfectly proper, the
other is the best of all.

321
00:25:12,160 –> 00:25:19,400
Example 3, 20, Chapter 12, the
end of the chapter, he’s been

322
00:25:19,400 –> 00:25:26,040
dealing with this question of
the spiritual view, which was a

323
00:25:26,040 –> 00:25:30,240
perplexity for the Corinthians,
and they clearly had asked him

324
00:25:30,280 –> 00:25:34,720
for a ruling because these
chapters had the gifts of

325
00:25:34,720 –> 00:25:40,360
tongues seemed to be important
to be the most important law and

326
00:25:40,360 –> 00:25:43,400
poor enough to set the whole
thing in order which he doesn’t

327
00:25:43,480 –> 00:25:47,320
want.
This is one more chapter Miss

328
00:25:47,320 –> 00:25:50,760
Welch chapter and hopefully
chapters continue the same thing

329
00:25:51,280 –> 00:25:57,360
one or the way Paul gets things
so thoroughly sensitively put

330
00:25:57,360 –> 00:26:02,120
into a proper perspective.
But he said the end just said

331
00:26:03,080 –> 00:26:11,320
come it earns me the best dear.
I better give them perhaps so

332
00:26:11,360 –> 00:26:15,080
you have the risk of sound you
like the risk of prophecy if you

333
00:26:15,080 –> 00:26:16,920
praise word and God gives it to
you.

334
00:26:16,920 –> 00:26:20,960
This is splendid.
Come it firmly the best gift it

335
00:26:20,960 –> 00:26:25,320
must have been possible.
I haven’t received additional

336
00:26:25,320 –> 00:26:28,000
gifts for those I already had.
There would be no good saying

337
00:26:28,000 –> 00:26:33,400
covetous, but yet I feel under a
more excellent way.

338
00:26:34,560 –> 00:26:38,960
Though I speak with the pound of
men and the angels and have not

339
00:26:39,760 –> 00:26:42,600
charity.
I am become a sounding graph and

340
00:26:42,600 –> 00:26:44,840
thinking people in the whole of
that chapter.

341
00:26:44,840 –> 00:26:48,280
First thing is it a context in
this matter.

342
00:26:48,600 –> 00:26:52,240
There’s something so big in the
kind of essay on love.

343
00:26:52,960 –> 00:26:57,800
The perfect chapter is related
with problems there about the

344
00:27:00,640 –> 00:27:06,320
the whole deal and the rule
together.

345
00:27:06,360 –> 00:27:17,520
Very crazy organization.
You won’t mean the rule if you

346
00:27:17,520 –> 00:27:24,120
love, you won’t have this jockey
in your position or seeking to

347
00:27:24,120 –> 00:27:27,400
promote your own image in the
community.

348
00:27:28,600 –> 00:27:31,960
So no one is the fulfilling of
the law.

349
00:27:32,960 –> 00:27:35,680
The way it’s completely proper,
right?

350
00:27:36,600 –> 00:27:41,320
Can’t even be the best gifts.
But if you get love in your

351
00:27:41,320 –> 00:27:45,400
heart, you’ve got the roadie.
Different walls and you won’t

352
00:27:45,400 –> 00:27:47,960
leave them to set things in
order for you.

353
00:27:48,760 –> 00:27:52,480
You’ll be able to set them in
order for your devil you’ll love

354
00:27:53,880 –> 00:27:58,160
in his time loving is not love
all did not itself is not

355
00:27:58,160 –> 00:28:07,240
stuffed up does not behave
itself unseemly and so on in

356
00:28:07,320 –> 00:28:12,200
this in Matthew.
If we go back to this and we

357
00:28:12,200 –> 00:28:21,720
look at ladies, we’re trying
that he, we fly from his

358
00:28:21,720 –> 00:28:31,400
disciples less than the novel.
Now that’s the cool love,

359
00:28:32,640 –> 00:28:47,240
charity, love demand more than
law legalism you still have.

360
00:28:47,240 –> 00:28:53,080
I’m looking at you smiling.
I’m going to say legally minded

361
00:28:53,080 –> 00:28:57,560
brethren.
I’m not talking that they’re

362
00:28:57,560 –> 00:29:03,480
advocating No, we still have a
legal approach to the truth, but

363
00:29:07,400 –> 00:29:12,520
maybe the UN sight of passage of
scripture that seems to say this

364
00:29:12,520 –> 00:29:17,160
is it.
But love goes a lot tougher than

365
00:29:17,240 –> 00:29:20,160
law does and leave them as a
living than us.

366
00:29:20,600 –> 00:29:25,720
Clearly we’ve got to get the
perspective of Jesus, which says

367
00:29:25,720 –> 00:29:29,560
the law is all high in
regulating your behaviour.

368
00:29:30,840 –> 00:29:35,400
But if you’ve got love in your
heart, you will go together a

369
00:29:35,600 –> 00:29:39,720
lot.
So we go to Matthew 521.

370
00:29:43,120 –> 00:29:47,680
We’ve heard by them of all time.
Now shall not kill, because they

371
00:29:47,680 –> 00:29:51,160
shall kill to be in danger of
the judgement, but I fail to you

372
00:29:52,120 –> 00:29:56,480
because there is everybody in
the judgement themselves.

373
00:29:57,560 –> 00:30:05,960
Now you you look that what Jesus
is saying is the motivation is

374
00:30:06,560 –> 00:30:12,120
what?
To hate your brother is the bad

375
00:30:12,120 –> 00:30:15,640
of murdering.
Don’t look on a woman.

376
00:30:15,640 –> 00:30:22,560
To ask is as bad as yet with all
your restrained from the ACT is

377
00:30:22,560 –> 00:30:26,800
before you’re afraid of the
consequences, but secretly you

378
00:30:26,800 –> 00:30:31,720
indulge the pressure.
Don’t you don’t love your

379
00:30:31,720 –> 00:30:34,440
brother.
You are a murderer.

380
00:30:34,440 –> 00:30:39,200
You know, if I’ll kill you in
dog’s door, so I can say that he

381
00:30:39,200 –> 00:30:43,600
that love it, not his brother.
He’s a murderer because he

382
00:30:45,600 –> 00:30:48,760
motivates a man who’s able to
kill it another person.

383
00:30:49,240 –> 00:30:53,400
But if you love your brother,
all these fools, you’re there.

384
00:30:54,400 –> 00:30:59,320
So it’s not enough just to say
you mustn’t call your brother a

385
00:30:59,320 –> 00:31:02,040
fool.
You’ve got anything else, but

386
00:31:02,040 –> 00:31:05,360
you mustn’t call him that.
You haven’t got to want to call

387
00:31:05,440 –> 00:31:11,080
him anything.
I’ll never reveal anything.

388
00:31:17,160 –> 00:31:21,800
But it’s not now.
This isn’t the law.

389
00:31:22,720 –> 00:31:26,000
This, this is the spirit of
Christ.

390
00:31:26,360 –> 00:31:31,480
This is a million for.
But the old law God always

391
00:31:31,520 –> 00:31:36,520
wanted people to be like this
and their 10 commandments thou

392
00:31:36,520 –> 00:31:40,040
shalt not heal didn’t just means
as long as you don’t murder

393
00:31:40,080 –> 00:31:42,160
another person, you’re all
riding gobble.

394
00:31:43,560 –> 00:31:49,240
It means you’re not to have
murderous thoughts, unkind

395
00:31:49,360 –> 00:31:53,080
feelings towards other
bitterness in your heart that

396
00:31:53,080 –> 00:31:56,200
the interpretation you’ve seen
is already in the video chapter

397
00:31:56,200 –> 00:32:02,000
19.
So anger is murder and impure

398
00:32:02,120 –> 00:32:09,200
desires are adultery now is
concerned with the obvious and

399
00:32:09,200 –> 00:32:15,240
the extent it’s measurable
behaviour isn’t it more of the

400
00:32:15,240 –> 00:32:20,320
treasury?
Isn’t it measurable behaviour is

401
00:32:20,320 –> 00:32:25,600
not you can measure a thing by
law, but love is immeasurable.

402
00:32:26,840 –> 00:32:29,560
Love is going rightly non
measurable behaviour.

403
00:32:31,000 –> 00:32:35,000
It’s the interpretation of the
very Spirit of God into our

404
00:32:35,000 –> 00:32:43,720
living and their relationships.
You can easily be judged by your

405
00:32:43,720 –> 00:32:46,520
fellows.
They know whether you’ve

406
00:32:46,520 –> 00:32:51,480
committed sultry.
They will go in time.

407
00:32:53,080 –> 00:32:54,920
They certainly know they don’t
murder.

408
00:32:58,000 –> 00:33:02,360
But under the law of love,
you’ve got to judge yourself.

409
00:33:05,520 –> 00:33:07,800
I don’t know what you’re
thinking of me at this very

410
00:33:07,800 –> 00:33:16,200
moment, but you know, if you
would judge yourselves, you

411
00:33:16,200 –> 00:33:22,040
should not be judged, said the
law of love.

412
00:33:22,760 –> 00:33:27,840
The feeling full of the old man.
There’s such a thing that we’re

413
00:33:27,880 –> 00:33:32,800
even allowed to have their own
judgement because we look into

414
00:33:32,800 –> 00:33:37,160
our own hearts and we’re looking
at the inside of the company of

415
00:33:37,160 –> 00:33:43,680
the vessel, whereas law can only
can only on the outside.

416
00:33:45,560 –> 00:33:49,880
Let’s see and be significant.
Surely it must be of the storage

417
00:33:49,880 –> 00:33:53,880
in the gold, the parity in the
publicly and dead nothing.

418
00:33:54,920 –> 00:33:57,920
The Pharisee had got everything
right it brought into law.

419
00:34:00,160 –> 00:34:02,640
I passed something down the
weekend.

420
00:34:03,520 –> 00:34:10,120
He applied them all right today,
Ticamar Ticamar, Ticamar, but

421
00:34:10,120 –> 00:34:15,040
the Republican was looking into
his heart.

422
00:34:15,040 –> 00:34:19,480
He said something merciful to me
has seen her and it was that man

423
00:34:19,480 –> 00:34:21,360
that was justified in the fine
bird.

424
00:34:22,400 –> 00:34:28,000
This breast beating of the of
the Pharisee look like I’m not

425
00:34:28,000 –> 00:34:34,480
like him.
The children in by law, but God

426
00:34:34,480 –> 00:34:39,440
is on the phone and that’s what
matters and that’s the

427
00:34:39,440 –> 00:34:41,960
difference between legal and
love.

428
00:34:44,520 –> 00:34:48,880
The end of this deals and books,
you say, is never on rights,

429
00:34:50,199 –> 00:34:54,199
rights on the rules, even in our
relationship one with the other,

430
00:34:55,280 –> 00:34:59,480
nor with on reconciliation in
love.

431
00:35:02,080 –> 00:35:06,160
Look at verse 23.
If thou bring thy gifts to the

432
00:35:06,160 –> 00:35:10,720
altar and there remembers that
thy brother have all the games

433
00:35:10,760 –> 00:35:15,960
thee leave there thy gifts
before thee go thy way hast be

434
00:35:15,960 –> 00:35:19,920
reconciled thy brother, and then
you come and offer thy gifts.

435
00:35:22,080 –> 00:35:24,320
That’s the difference between
legalism and love.

436
00:35:26,160 –> 00:35:30,960
When the meeting go through the
ritual of Christianism attending

437
00:35:30,960 –> 00:35:36,520
and making afraid is the and
this bit of taking thy gift to

438
00:35:36,520 –> 00:35:43,960
the altar.
Thank you that your

439
00:35:43,960 –> 00:35:47,720
relationship.
Jesus said the more important

440
00:35:48,000 –> 00:35:51,920
than that go and reconcile to
your brother.

441
00:35:53,280 –> 00:36:00,440
Have you ever done I never had
an old mind 45 years in truth,

442
00:36:01,040 –> 00:36:05,400
I’ve never yet absented myself
in the Lord’s table, and the

443
00:36:05,400 –> 00:36:08,440
woman was unlikely reconciled to
any brother.

444
00:36:08,440 –> 00:36:11,240
I’ve been the dog with.
I haven’t been the dog with

445
00:36:11,560 –> 00:36:19,640
people, but by a dog with the
Jesus says, really the most

446
00:36:19,920 –> 00:36:23,920
important thing is to get your
land working.

447
00:36:25,280 –> 00:36:27,640
And then there’s everything they
see.

448
00:36:29,240 –> 00:36:34,880
But don’t think that by coming
even to the Lord’s Table now

449
00:36:37,000 –> 00:36:44,120
that this replaces in some
magical and mysterious way the

450
00:36:44,120 –> 00:36:46,280
exercise of love one for
another.

451
00:36:47,920 –> 00:36:50,760
I get the same message from the
18th chapter of Matthew,

452
00:36:50,760 –> 00:36:54,440
incidentally, which we
incorporate normally into our

453
00:36:54,440 –> 00:36:59,040
Christadelphian, who please your
Constitution about this route

454
00:36:59,080 –> 00:37:02,120
between brethren.
You know how Jesus says thy

455
00:37:02,120 –> 00:37:04,240
brother trespass against legal
and television?

456
00:37:04,280 –> 00:37:08,240
For when they get him alone, if
he shall hear thee, thou gain

457
00:37:08,240 –> 00:37:11,200
thy brother.
Verse 15 But if he will not hear

458
00:37:11,200 –> 00:37:14,480
thee, take with thee two or
three more, that in the mouth of

459
00:37:14,560 –> 00:37:18,200
two or three witnesses every
word may be established, if he

460
00:37:18,200 –> 00:37:21,320
shall neglect to hear them
television to the Church that

461
00:37:21,320 –> 00:37:23,000
he’d been neglected here in the
church.

462
00:37:23,400 –> 00:37:27,040
Let him be on the view of the
heathen man, and the public, and

463
00:37:27,040 –> 00:37:30,200
the publican.
Now we have made this into a

464
00:37:30,480 –> 00:37:33,760
law.
We have incorporated in most of

465
00:37:34,400 –> 00:37:41,920
contributions into a law.
Very properly said.

466
00:37:42,400 –> 00:37:46,760
Have you carried out what is
expired under Matthew 18?

467
00:37:47,880 –> 00:37:52,920
Look Jesus, this is night.
This is the way to conduct your

468
00:37:53,280 –> 00:37:57,840
ecclesial distance.
If there is dispute between this

469
00:37:57,920 –> 00:38:05,280
is not this is the way to deal.
But no down in the chat he gives

470
00:38:05,280 –> 00:38:11,480
a wonderful powerful which to me
says this is better way the way

471
00:38:11,480 –> 00:38:15,080
of life.
The two men, one who owns more

472
00:38:15,080 –> 00:38:20,240
500 banks for it than the other
50 and this fellow wouldn’t

473
00:38:20,240 –> 00:38:24,160
forgiven his pillow made laid in
my heart.

474
00:38:24,160 –> 00:38:33,480
He did I think million.
Well, it was yesterday probably

475
00:38:35,880 –> 00:38:40,120
it keeps increasing because
every decade you have to magnify

476
00:38:40,120 –> 00:38:41,840
the death.
But within millions of parents

477
00:38:41,880 –> 00:38:45,600
he was forgiven, and he wouldn’t
forgive his pillow.

478
00:38:46,280 –> 00:38:52,160
The miserable death of you.
So also shall my Heavenly Father

479
00:38:52,160 –> 00:38:57,400
do all of you, if you from your
heart forgive not everyone, this

480
00:38:57,400 –> 00:39:00,600
brother, their trespasses.
Now I did that.

481
00:39:00,600 –> 00:39:04,560
Another example of law and law.
We don’t need law.

482
00:39:05,760 –> 00:39:08,960
We do need to have it set out.
How we shall be that.

483
00:39:09,960 –> 00:39:19,400
But if only we learn thee how,
Who of it in luck, we wouldn’t

484
00:39:19,400 –> 00:39:24,200
need any laws at all.
We wouldn’t need it because you

485
00:39:24,200 –> 00:39:29,200
would say that you only remember
all the time, every day, every

486
00:39:29,200 –> 00:39:32,440
moment, how much you have been
forgiven.

487
00:39:34,160 –> 00:39:41,160
You couldn’t hold animosity in
your home towards somebody who

488
00:39:41,160 –> 00:39:52,960
knew FIT had done your lot.
Well, I got a lot more here, but

489
00:39:52,960 –> 00:39:56,280
it’s only 10 minutes left and I
did promise the committee that

490
00:39:56,320 –> 00:39:58,520
we would have a chance to have
some discussion.

491
00:39:59,200 –> 00:40:01,800
I thought it was an error in the
quarter session.

492
00:40:01,800 –> 00:40:06,760
They put me back.
So I’m going to give these out

493
00:40:07,280 –> 00:40:10,960
and these are some questions who
would like to be monitor.

494
00:40:45,880 –> 00:40:51,520
Never mind, we shall have you
all got the yellow Pearl.

495
00:41:05,920 –> 00:41:14,640
These points for discussion
filing is nursing hard thoughts

496
00:41:15,840 –> 00:41:19,720
towards me because he won’t ask
me questions.

497
00:41:19,720 –> 00:41:23,720
Not me asking.
Well, these are just points for

498
00:41:23,720 –> 00:41:27,120
discussion.
I was asked to to put forward

499
00:41:27,120 –> 00:41:31,200
some points for discussion.
If we had discussion, good, it

500
00:41:31,200 –> 00:41:34,920
would be of course interesting
to discuss the root session.

501
00:41:35,400 –> 00:41:39,440
But these are just some of the
faults that arrive in my mind

502
00:41:39,920 –> 00:41:43,040
that I thought you might like to
think about and discuss.

503
00:41:43,480 –> 00:41:52,120
And if if you do want to, you
won’t be able to once the time’s

504
00:41:52,120 –> 00:41:56,560
gone and I’m not going to
translate, I’ll just like I did

505
00:41:56,560 –> 00:41:58,720
before, I’ll just read them
through for the ring.

506
00:42:00,160 –> 00:42:04,960
And then if you want to discuss
them privately or take them home

507
00:42:04,960 –> 00:42:07,680
and think about them or back
from the uniform.

508
00:42:07,680 –> 00:42:14,320
And sometimes, but there won’t
be it will be useless enough

509
00:42:14,600 –> 00:42:17,400
requires now that staff on this
company.

510
00:42:20,240 –> 00:42:21,960
So these are the thoughts of
being.

511
00:42:21,960 –> 00:42:26,200
I thought if there were time for
discussion session, we wouldn’t

512
00:42:26,200 –> 00:42:31,280
like to heard your views.
Love and do what you will said

513
00:42:31,280 –> 00:42:33,200
Oh God, how far is this
possible?

514
00:42:33,200 –> 00:42:39,400
The rule of life to know and do
what you will.

515
00:42:41,280 –> 00:42:44,960
Well, the word did you truly
love in the fully Scripture?

516
00:42:46,720 –> 00:42:50,200
Then what you do will be rightly
motivated and you won’t need

517
00:42:50,280 –> 00:42:52,960
laws.
That’s the other point of it.

518
00:42:52,960 –> 00:42:55,920
But it’s interesting to think
about that, whether it’s true or

519
00:42:55,920 –> 00:43:01,680
not.
The second question raises the

520
00:43:01,880 –> 00:43:05,400
point I made rather strongly,
because I think it would happen

521
00:43:05,480 –> 00:43:10,000
in some of our if we got this
perspective.

522
00:43:10,680 –> 00:43:14,000
There are frequently 2 levels of
ethical teaching in the

523
00:43:14,040 –> 00:43:20,240
testament, the highest level
which mentioned a spark and the

524
00:43:20,240 –> 00:43:24,200
second level of admissibility
recognising human cruelty.

525
00:43:25,480 –> 00:43:30,080
How hard do you feel to be true
and how would it help in solving

526
00:43:30,120 –> 00:43:38,160
the problem of interpretation?
Today I was going to what just

527
00:43:38,160 –> 00:43:42,320
briefly suggest it might apply
to the problem of results, say

528
00:43:42,960 –> 00:43:49,360
in which we do get circulars
coming round to arrange them

529
00:43:49,440 –> 00:43:52,960
about it.
Nobody is trying to be

530
00:43:53,680 –> 00:43:57,160
cantankers.
Sincerely held, conditioned.

531
00:43:57,720 –> 00:44:04,280
Well, the answer to me clearly
to me, of course, divorce is

532
00:44:04,320 –> 00:44:12,480
wrong.
No one is in evil.

533
00:44:12,680 –> 00:44:18,480
It will all recognize that the
highest it should not even be

534
00:44:18,560 –> 00:44:23,760
thought of, but in certain
services is Jesus himself saying

535
00:44:23,920 –> 00:44:27,280
to him that there are certain
certain reasons in which we have

536
00:44:27,280 –> 00:44:33,120
to sadly recognize that the pool
of the hardness of human heart.

537
00:44:34,520 –> 00:44:39,760
These things and then go astray
and we have to settle for an

538
00:44:39,760 –> 00:44:44,840
admissibility.
Sometimes trying to interpret

539
00:44:44,840 –> 00:44:48,920
the law of love into our being
with those we have got the bell

540
00:44:48,920 –> 00:44:53,320
window there.
If I have been we pluck it out.

541
00:44:54,680 –> 00:44:57,920
If this is not going to be taken
literally, how can it be applied

542
00:44:57,920 –> 00:45:07,160
today and in what way would we
interpret this in the spirit of

543
00:45:07,960 –> 00:45:13,360
the Christ interpretation of the
pending amount that’s taken as a

544
00:45:13,360 –> 00:45:17,360
minute and then goes power.
Now this is a difficult one.

545
00:45:19,000 –> 00:45:26,080
For example, not any adulthood.
So what about the Sabbath?

546
00:45:26,600 –> 00:45:28,280
You don’t keep the Sabbath at
all.

547
00:45:29,240 –> 00:45:36,160
We say, Oh yes, of course, every
day rather than like saying

548
00:45:36,240 –> 00:45:38,600
poor, getting rid of it that
way.

549
00:45:39,960 –> 00:45:44,000
But yeah, there are no flaws
with the way Jesus had found it

550
00:45:44,000 –> 00:45:47,320
before.
We can say, yes, we do dedicate

551
00:45:47,320 –> 00:45:50,160
the Sabbath.
We keep the Sabbath, but we keep

552
00:45:50,200 –> 00:45:52,240
every day of the Sabbath as
well.

553
00:45:56,200 –> 00:46:00,800
Set out a new code of laws or
simply illustrate principle that

554
00:46:00,960 –> 00:46:07,560
we work that way.
Each individual disciple would

555
00:46:07,560 –> 00:46:10,840
one expect to find differences
of judgement among the leaders

556
00:46:11,640 –> 00:46:14,080
calling for toleration at
different points of view.

557
00:46:14,080 –> 00:46:17,200
This is just encouraging you to
discuss the whole concept of

558
00:46:17,200 –> 00:46:23,120
what I’ve been talking.
Is this right to say that people

559
00:46:23,120 –> 00:46:29,360
can on occasion have different
interpretations and don’t be

560
00:46:29,400 –> 00:46:34,080
right and only be wrong when
they try to belabour their

561
00:46:34,080 –> 00:46:39,920
fellow to make him or her accept
their own interpretation and

562
00:46:39,920 –> 00:46:45,600
shouldn’t be rather than trying
to interpret the whole Spirit of

563
00:46:45,680 –> 00:46:51,280
God’s word into our living,
which means that the world the

564
00:46:51,280 –> 00:46:54,800
differences of reach of
aspiration.

565
00:46:56,320 –> 00:47:02,960
Be ye therefore perfect as your
heavenly Father is perfect.

566
00:47:04,480 –> 00:47:10,760
Now he knew perfectly well that
we can’t be perfect in this

567
00:47:10,840 –> 00:47:16,600
ultimate thank you, the gift of
righteousness and being bestowed

568
00:47:16,600 –> 00:47:22,520
upon us, but he saying to be
striving to all we’re trying

569
00:47:22,640 –> 00:47:27,280
after it.
This is the high idea and their

570
00:47:27,280 –> 00:47:31,120
levels of apprehension and their
levels of attainment will be

571
00:47:31,120 –> 00:47:37,960
bound be different according to
the degree of progress we’ve

572
00:47:37,960 –> 00:47:42,320
made in the interpretation,
understanding and the mind of

573
00:47:42,320 –> 00:47:52,960
those of the margin.
That’s it then Brother Hayden

574
00:47:52,960 –> 00:47:59,600
Jones will close with care after
we have sung hymn #168.

575
00:48:05,880 –> 00:48:09,920
Brother CC Walter wouldn’t have
this him and it wouldn’t say.

576
00:48:10,240 –> 00:48:13,120
Whenever it was sung it he
thought the rather troubling.

577
00:48:14,560 –> 00:48:18,680
Well, we’re going to sing it and
mean it and not have any trouble

578
00:48:19,640 –> 00:48:23,560
in the brother and let us walk
together in the bottom.
