8
\n00:00:34,300 –> 00:00:35,800
\nlet’s hear more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:37,800 –> 00:00:41,400
\nToday’s class is titled
\nspiritual mindedness and it’s an<\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:41,400 –> 00:00:44,400
\nexcitation by Brother.
\nJohn Martin. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:44,400 –> 00:00:47,900
\nIt is the third class in a
\nseries that he gave at a study <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:47,900 –> 00:00:53,000
\nweekend on First Corinthians and
\nthis class focuses somewhat on <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:53,000 –> 00:00:57,600
\nchapter 2.
\nI have been listening to a few <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:57,600 –> 00:01:01,600
\nJohn Martin series because just
\nto be totally honest had heard <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:01,600 –> 00:01:04,300
\nHis Name a bunch of times but
\nhave never seen him in person or<\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:04,700 –> 00:01:08,400
\nactually even listen to a class
\nuntil Started the show and it’s <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:08,400 –> 00:01:11,300
\nbeen kind of a project we
\nstarted this podcast when we <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:11,300 –> 00:01:14,800
\nstarted this podcast.
\nI thought well, we’ll find a <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:14,808 –> 00:01:18,200
\nJohn Martin class and I’ve
\nlistening to a bunch and this is<\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:18,200 –> 00:01:22,300
\na basically the best one I found
\nso far, but I really feel like I<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:22,300 –> 00:01:24,200
\nmust be maybe I’m missing
\nsomething. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:24,200 –> 00:01:28,000
\nSo I’m kind of making a special
\ncall if anyone has a John Martin<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:28,000 –> 00:01:32,700
\nseries or class that they really
\nenjoy I’d love to hear it. <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:33,900 –> 00:01:38,500
\nBut this class was very
\ninteresting he He builds up to <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:38,500 –> 00:01:41,800
\nthis first question, which I
\nthink is a challenging question.<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:41,800 –> 00:01:49,700
\nHow much of our Bible reading
\nand study is is revealed to us <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:49,700 –> 00:01:51,900
\nby God.
\nSo obviously we read and have <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:51,900 –> 00:01:57,100
\nour own effort in our reading in
\nour study and in our prayers and<\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:57,100 –> 00:02:00,100
\nyou know, he says that nothing,
\nyou know that God reveals <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:00,600 –> 00:02:02,900
\ninformation to us.
\nIt’s different than you know, <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:02,900 –> 00:02:07,400
\nthe accumulation of knowledge.
\nIt’s a revelation in a way and <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:07,600 –> 00:02:10,600
\nSo he uses a lot of different a
\nlot of different terms as you’ll<\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:10,600 –> 00:02:13,900
\nsee in that subject, but I find
\nthat really interesting just <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:13,900 –> 00:02:16,300
\nit’s hard for us hard for me to
\ngrasp. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:18,000 –> 00:02:21,900
\nYou know, this this relationship
\nthat we get with our God through<\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:22,500 –> 00:02:25,000
\nthe reading of a Bible.
\nI don’t I don’t I don’t clumsy <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:25,000 –> 00:02:27,300
\nnow with the words.
\nI don’t know how to define that <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:27,300 –> 00:02:30,400
\nand but I but I but I really
\nenjoyed brother John’s <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:31,000 –> 00:02:33,100
\ndiscussion around it found this
\nclass. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:33,100 –> 00:02:38,700
\nJust all in all very helpful to
\nto remember to think You know to<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:38,700 –> 00:02:44,700
\ncontrol our thinking and have
\nspiritual mindful Thoughts with <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:44,700 –> 00:02:48,100
\na what you know with a
\nrecognition of who we are and in<\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:48,108 –> 00:02:50,800
\nour relationship with our father
\nand his son. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:50,900 –> 00:02:54,900
\nSo this was a this was very good
\nclass his tone is you know <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:54,900 –> 00:02:57,800
\nfamous John essentially Chris
\nDelphine famous. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:57,800 –> 00:03:04,400
\nHe’s a he has he uses a lot of
\nvolume up and down and a lot of <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:04,400 –> 00:03:08,100
\nessentially, you know yelling
\nand but I really Enjoy it. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:08,300 –> 00:03:12,500
\nIt was very easy to listen to
\nand I found this class very <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:12,500 –> 00:03:14,700
\nencouraging again.
\nWould love to hear specifically <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:14,700 –> 00:03:18,300
\nJohn Martin suggestions.
\nI want to go ahead and before we<\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:18,300 –> 00:03:24,700
\nget to the class make another
\nplug for Sam’s podcast pause to <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:24,700 –> 00:03:28,900
\nconsider as well as another
\nclass or podcast Discerning <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:28,900 –> 00:03:32,100
\ndaughters by sister Rachel
\nCheatham that’s been a it’s been<\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:32,100 –> 00:03:35,400
\nexcellent and been encouraging
\nher to keep posting and would <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:35,400 –> 00:03:39,100
\nlove to share that with Anyone
\ninterested in kind of <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:39,100 –> 00:03:44,300
\nspecifically studies for four
\nsisters, and now that Discerning<\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:44,300 –> 00:03:48,500
\ndaughters podcast so look both
\nof those up again, John Martin <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:48,500 –> 00:03:51,300
\nsuggestions, but any class
\nsuggestion Chris and I really <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:51,800 –> 00:03:54,600
\nreally live off those.
\nIt’s a this is what we imagined <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:54,600 –> 00:03:59,500
\nwhen we started the show that we
\nwould be, you know it we want <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:59,500 –> 00:04:03,500
\neveryone involved to share
\nparticular, you know, <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:03,508 –> 00:04:05,700
\nparticularly encouraging and
\ngood talks. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:05,700 –> 00:04:09,900
\nSo here it is. spiritual
\nmindedness by Brother John <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:09,900 –> 00:04:14,600
\nMartin today’s class is how did
\nyou manage to exhort us this <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:14,600 –> 00:04:17,100
\nmorning?
\nWhy should we take it from 1st <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:17,100 –> 00:04:23,000
\nCorinthians chapter 2 on
\nspiritual mindedness Brother <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:23,000 –> 00:04:28,300
\nJohn. my beloved brothers and
\nsisters in our Lord Jesus Christ<\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:30,700 –> 00:04:33,600
\nWe may be continuing her studies
\nbrothers and sisters this <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:37,900
\nmorning, but of course you are
\nall I suppose very acutely aware<\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:38,900 –> 00:04:42,500
\nthat the character of this
\nmeeting is quite different than <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:42,500 –> 00:04:47,600
\nour normal study class has the
\nresponsibility brothers and <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:47,600 –> 00:04:51,400
\nsisters for the successful
\ncarrying through of this meeting<\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:51,400 –> 00:04:54,500
\ndevolves.
\nNot upon me particularly, but <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:54,500 –> 00:04:58,900
\nupon all of us together.
\nBecause we all have two shortly <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:58,900 –> 00:05:02,900
\npartake of those emblems and to
\nexamine ourselves in the light <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:02,900 –> 00:05:08,300
\nof the great example of our Lord
\nJesus Christ. as our brother <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:08,300 –> 00:05:11,100
\nchairman reminded us that he
\nvery theme of this the first <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:11,100 –> 00:05:14,100
\nfour chapters of the Corinthians
\nis in verse 10 of chapter 1 <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:15,100 –> 00:05:18,600
\nwhere the Apostle in the very
\nname of our Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:18,800 –> 00:05:23,200
\nwhom had come to remember this
\nmorning besiegers us that we all<\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:28,500
\nbe perfectly joined together in
\nthe same mind and in the same <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:28,500 –> 00:05:33,100
\njudgment, And then exhortation
\nbrothers and sisters was <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:33,100 –> 00:05:38,200
\nnecessary because they were not
\njoined in the same mind and in <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:38,200 –> 00:05:41,800
\nthe same judgment.
\nAnd I wanted to reiterate a <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:41,808 –> 00:05:46,200
\nlittle what we said concerning
\nchapter 1 and to show you the <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:46,200 –> 00:05:49,400
\nbeautiful theme that flows
\nthrough into chapter 2 and then <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:49,400 –> 00:05:53,300
\nof course on words from there.
\nThe we might pick up the threads<\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:53,300 –> 00:05:57,200
\nof this thinking because there
\nis a consecutive teaching here <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:57,200 –> 00:06:00,800
\nbrothers and sisters, which if
\nwe miss that we are the poorer <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:00,800 –> 00:06:03,600
\nfor the wonders of which on
\nwhich the Apostle has to say <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:03,600 –> 00:06:09,500
\nconcerning this matter of
\nspiritual mindedness as we saw <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:10,400 –> 00:06:13,300
\nthis profess problem, which he
\ndeals with in the epistle to the<\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:13,300 –> 00:06:17,800
\nCorinthians arose because of the
\nparty factions are developed. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:18,600 –> 00:06:22,100
\nAs the Ecclesia lined up behind
\nthe various leaders of that <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:22,100 –> 00:06:25,900
\nEcclesia.
\nAnd that happened brother and <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:25,908 –> 00:06:30,700
\nsisters because the character of
\nthe Corinthians as we said was <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:30,700 –> 00:06:33,300
\nthat not many mighty or many
\nnoble had been called to the <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:33,300 –> 00:06:37,000
\ntruth.
\nIn the mind, these people had <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:37,000 –> 00:06:41,800
\nbeen dragged up out of the
\ngutters of humanity and elevated<\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:41,800 –> 00:06:44,200
\ninto a great and a wonderful
\nstatus in Christ. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:44,200 –> 00:06:49,500
\nJesus their Lord, but people who
\ncome from that type of Life <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:49,900 –> 00:06:53,100
\nsuddenly into the blaze of the
\nlight of the Gospel truth and a <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:53,100 –> 00:06:58,300
\nhigher things can all together
\nhandle that situation and <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:58,300 –> 00:07:01,900
\nbecause they were now students
\nof the Bible they had an <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:01,900 –> 00:07:05,900
\nelevated form of thinking and
\nbecause they were so on Custom <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:05,900 –> 00:07:08,400
\nto that because they felt
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:08,400 –> 00:07:12,200
\nSo inexperienced and weak and
\ndespised of this world. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:12,600 –> 00:07:18,900
\nThey began to admire wisdom for
\nits own sake and that is a <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:18,900 –> 00:07:23,900
\ntragic mistake.
\nThey began to admire teachers <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:24,300 –> 00:07:29,700
\nfor their sheer ability.
\nAnd they saw in those teachers <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:29,700 –> 00:07:31,500
\nall that.
\nThey themselves felt they could <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:31,500 –> 00:07:37,900
\nnever be and in their admiration
\nfor men’s ability in their <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:37,900 –> 00:07:40,500
\nworship of intellect for its own
\nsake. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:41,700 –> 00:07:45,400
\nIt was inevitable that they
\nwould line up behind those <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:45,400 –> 00:07:49,200
\nparticular teachers whom they
\nadmired Above All Else. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:50,400 –> 00:07:54,600
\nAnd so the Caribbean Ecclesia
\ncame divided not because of the <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:54,600 –> 00:08:02,000
\nteachers Paul.
\nApollo’s cephas or of Christ. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:02,900 –> 00:08:05,400
\nNone of those men were
\nresponsible for that division. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:06,900 –> 00:08:09,300
\nThe route these responsibilities
\nbrothers and sisters for that <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:09,300 –> 00:08:14,500
\ndivision rested squarely upon
\nthe shoulders of the foolish <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:14,500 –> 00:08:21,300
\naudience. because of the way in
\nwhich they had come to worship <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:21,300 –> 00:08:27,000
\nintellect for its own sake and
\nhad not see the great necessity <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:27,000 –> 00:08:30,500
\nfor the work of God to be
\nsomething very personal and <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:30,500 –> 00:08:34,799
\nindividual for them.
\nNever mind about their party. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:35,900 –> 00:08:40,200
\nAnd so there was their problem.
\nAnd so briefly running through <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:40,200 –> 00:08:43,299
\nchapter 1 Paul points out.
\nFirst of all in those first 10 <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:43,299 –> 00:08:48,200
\nverses as he repeats the name of
\nour Lord Jesus Christ that their<\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:48,200 –> 00:08:51,800
\nbrothers and sisters was the
\ngreatest of all names and that <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:51,800 –> 00:08:55,300
\nthat was the one who is they all
\nhad to become identified and <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:55,300 –> 00:08:59,200
\neven the Christ party was wrong
\nas we pointed out because their <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:59,200 –> 00:09:02,500
\nattitude was that because they
\nfollowed Christ and not other <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:02,500 –> 00:09:05,500
\nmen.
\nThey implied that nobody else <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:05,500 –> 00:09:08,500
\nfollowed Christ.
\nAnd in the very thought it was <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:08,500 –> 00:09:11,400
\nin their head where they thought
\nthat they were right above all <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:11,400 –> 00:09:13,500
\nothers.
\nThey had made it a vision in <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:13,500 –> 00:09:17,900
\ntheir thinking because we are of
\nChrist and you’re not and they <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:17,900 –> 00:09:20,000
\nimmediately divided themselves
\nfrom others. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:20,100 –> 00:09:23,600
\nSo even the Christ party was
\nwrong in that matter. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:25,200 –> 00:09:29,000
\nPaul goes on to tell them.
\nThat they worshipped intellect <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:33,600
\nfor its own sake.
\nBut the intellect of this world <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:34,300 –> 00:09:36,900
\ncounted the gospel message,
\nwhich was preached to them <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:37,600 –> 00:09:41,500
\nfoolishness.
\nFor who could ever believe? <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:42,900 –> 00:09:45,800
\nIn the Greek philosophies in the
\nstory hero worship, which they <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:45,800 –> 00:09:49,700
\nhad all their great poets
\nphilosophers and heroes who <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:49,700 –> 00:09:54,200
\ncould ever believe in this world
\nthat a man who would uphold the <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:54,200 –> 00:09:58,700
\nDignity of man as Greek
\nphilosophy always did could ever<\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:58,700 –> 00:10:03,100
\nbelieve that the greatest of all
\nmen would voluntarily submit to <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:03,100 –> 00:10:07,700
\na criminal’s death that he might
\nbe depict to all Humanity that <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:07,700 –> 00:10:10,400
\nthere is no such thing as the
\nDignity of man. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:12,000 –> 00:10:16,900
\nPaul says it doesn’t it’s only
\nthose people who perish who <\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:16,900 –> 00:10:22,100
\nseeing that cross foolishness.
\nAnd as far as the Jew was <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:22,100 –> 00:10:25,200
\nconcerned who of course was ever
\nlooking for an exhibition of <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:25,200 –> 00:10:30,100
\nGod’s power.
\nHe saw nothing powerful in a mad<\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:30,100 –> 00:10:34,300
\nsubmitting to death rather.
\nHe saw the in that capitulation <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:34,300 –> 00:10:37,900
\nand weakness.
\nAnd so the intellect which they <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:37,900 –> 00:10:41,600
\nworshipped.
\nThe Personalities in and out of <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:41,600 –> 00:10:44,600
\nthe truth, which they saw as
\nbeing the sparkling thing in <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:44,600 –> 00:10:46,700
\nlife.
\nThat’s sort of intellect <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:46,700 –> 00:10:50,500
\nbrothers and sisters didn’t see
\nthe truth of the Gospel at all. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:52,900 –> 00:10:57,000
\nAnd he pointed out it was only
\nthose who are saved who saw in <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:57,000 –> 00:11:03,500
\nthe atonement God’s Supreme
\nwisdom a marvelous wisdom and <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:03,500 –> 00:11:08,700
\nwho saw him the crucifixion of
\nFlesh a power above flesh. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:09,600 –> 00:11:13,300
\nA power enabling that man to
\novercome all the Temptations of <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:13,308 –> 00:11:18,800
\nhis body up our brothers and
\nsisters incomprehensible to the <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:18,800 –> 00:11:22,500
\nJew.
\nAnd Paul went on to tell them. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:23,700 –> 00:11:25,600
\nThat they were thinking in
\nopposition to God. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:27,100 –> 00:11:30,400
\nAs well as they admired
\nintellect for its own sake and <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:30,400 –> 00:11:34,400
\nfollowed personalities God’s
\nattitude was quite different. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:35,300 –> 00:11:39,100
\nAnd the proof of that was
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:40,100 –> 00:11:42,000
\nVery where the living proof of
\nit. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:42,800 –> 00:11:46,600
\nPaul says poor look around.
\nYou meeting did God choose the <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:46,600 –> 00:11:49,800
\nintelligence he of this world
\nbecause he felt that’s what he <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:49,800 –> 00:11:53,700
\nneeded.
\nDid God choose the noble the <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:53,700 –> 00:11:58,900
\nHighborn people with status?
\nBecause that would Elevate him <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:58,900 –> 00:12:01,600
\non.
\nOh, look at yourselves. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:02,200 –> 00:12:06,400
\nGod hath chosen three times.
\nHe said God has chosen God hath <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:10,300
\nchosen.
\nGod has chosen you and you’re <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:10,300 –> 00:12:13,900
\nnot many might or not many noble
\nbut God has chosen the weak and <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:13,900 –> 00:12:16,800
\nthe base things of the world
\nsays the Apostle what for? <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:18,100 –> 00:12:22,800
\nTo further his purpose that men
\nand women might come to believe <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:23,100 –> 00:12:27,600
\nand in believing might exhibit
\nto others that no flesh. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:28,700 –> 00:12:33,000
\nWould glory in his presence and
\nhe went on in a grand sweep <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:33,000 –> 00:12:36,000
\nresidence sisters to point out
\nthat God was the founder of all <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:39,600
\nwisdom and power.
\nBut that wisdom and power became<\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:39,600 –> 00:12:43,700
\nmanifested in Jesus Christ, and
\nit belonged to all those <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:43,700 –> 00:12:48,100
\nCorinthians who are in Christ
\nand the wisdom and power only <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:48,100 –> 00:12:51,800
\nbelong to them as long as they
\nlost their own personal status <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:52,100 –> 00:12:57,100
\nand their identity and merged
\ninto him who of God. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:58,500 –> 00:13:03,600
\nWhat’s made those four things?
\nWhich are beyond the power of <\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:03,600 –> 00:13:08,300
\nhumankind to achieve?
\nWhat if Jesus Christ was wise <\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:08,300 –> 00:13:13,700
\nGod made himself if he was
\nrighteous and he was then it was<\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:13,700 –> 00:13:18,100
\nGod’s righteousness.
\nAnd if the man’s life was <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:18,100 –> 00:13:22,600
\nSanctified and holy and above
\nothers, it was because of the <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:22,600 –> 00:13:27,100
\ninfluence of God that created
\nthat in him and if they couldn’t<\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:27,100 –> 00:13:32,000
\nbelieve that Jesus Christ was of
\nGod wisdom righteousness and <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:32,000 –> 00:13:35,200
\nsanctification.
\nWell, they had to believe that <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:35,200 –> 00:13:39,300
\nJesus Christ was of God
\nRedemption because he was dead <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:39,300 –> 00:13:42,800
\nwhen God raised him out of that
\ntomb as though there were the <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:42,800 –> 00:13:45,900
\nthings that were accomplished at
\nour Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:47,000 –> 00:13:52,700
\nClear your work of God and had
\nnothing whatever to do with his <\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:52,700 –> 00:13:59,200
\nhuman intellect all his ability.
\nThat’s Paul’s point. <\/p>\n

202
\n00:14:00,600 –> 00:14:04,800
\nNow brothers and sisters that
\nbegs the question. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:07,300 –> 00:14:12,900
\nAnd I must be perhaps in a lot
\nof people’s minds already and if<\/p>\n

204
\n00:14:12,900 –> 00:14:15,400
\nwe went on explaining these
\nmatters to you, it wouldn’t be <\/p>\n

205
\n00:14:15,400 –> 00:14:17,700
\nlong.
\nI don’t doubt for every brother <\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:17,700 –> 00:14:20,700
\nand sister in this meeting would
\nthink the same question? <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:22,400 –> 00:14:26,300
\nIt’s a question with you always
\ncomes up and the things we’ve <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:26,300 –> 00:14:30,100
\ngot to say this morning when the
\nFirst Corinthians 2, you’re not <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:30,100 –> 00:14:35,300
\ngoing to believe immediately.
\nBecause they are hard to be <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:35,300 –> 00:14:40,300
\nunderstood not so much in the
\ndetails of it but to grasp the <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:40,300 –> 00:14:47,200
\nsignificance of it because it is
\nagainst all human reason and the<\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:47,200 –> 00:14:49,200
\nquestion that you want me to
\nanswer that. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:49,200 –> 00:14:52,800
\nI want Paul to answer is this
\nwell if what you’re saying is <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:52,800 –> 00:14:56,000
\ntrue.
\nHe’ll come. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:57,700 –> 00:15:04,200
\nThat I we who have no ability
\nwho haven’t got the ability to <\/p>\n

216
\n00:15:04,200 –> 00:15:08,400
\ngrasp the truth.
\nIf we can’t follow others if we <\/p>\n

217
\n00:15:08,400 –> 00:15:11,200
\ngot listen to lead as if we
\ncan’t form an opinion on that <\/p>\n

218
\n00:15:11,200 –> 00:15:13,500
\nbasis.
\nWhere does that leave us? <\/p>\n

219
\n00:15:14,900 –> 00:15:18,700
\nWell, my beloved brothers and
\nsisters the answer of the <\/p>\n

220
\n00:15:18,700 –> 00:15:25,900
\nApostle Paul is this that there
\nis no man or woman in Christ who<\/p>\n

221
\n00:15:25,900 –> 00:15:28,700
\nhasn’t got the ability to
\nunderstand that Bible. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:31,500 –> 00:15:37,000
\nBecause you see it’s got nothing
\nwhatever to do. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:38,600 –> 00:15:43,500
\nWith your ability or your
\nintellect that’s got nothing <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:43,700 –> 00:15:49,100
\nwhatever to do with it.
\nAnd Paul’s down only explain to <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:49,100 –> 00:15:53,200
\nthem.
\nIt’s not a question of what I <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:53,200 –> 00:15:59,700
\ncan find out.
\nIt’s a question of what God will<\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:59,700 –> 00:16:04,300
\nreveal to me.
\nAnd that will depend brother and<\/p>\n

228
\n00:16:04,300 –> 00:16:11,700
\nsisters very largely entirely
\nupon my attitude to that word <\/p>\n

229
\n00:16:11,800 –> 00:16:15,700
\nand to God.
\nAll repeat that because that’s <\/p>\n

230
\n00:16:15,700 –> 00:16:18,200
\nthe absolute essence of this
\nchapter. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:16:19,100 –> 00:16:25,400
\nIt is not a question as to how
\nbrilliant we are as to what we <\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:25,400 –> 00:16:31,100
\ncan get out of that Bible.
\nIt’s a question as to how much <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:31,100 –> 00:16:37,800
\nGod is prepared to reveal to us.
\nAnd that will vary largely to <\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:37,800 –> 00:16:41,200
\npit.
\nUpon Our attitude of that book <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:41,500 –> 00:16:45,700
\nand to God that’s against all
\nhuman reason. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:46,400 –> 00:16:50,800
\nIt’s against all human logic,
\nbut it’s absolutely true. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:52,700 –> 00:16:54,600
\nAnd the proof of it is this
\nchapter? <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:55,800 –> 00:16:57,600
\nAnd this is how Paul puts it
\nbefore them? <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:03,500
\nDid they think he had wisdom?
\nWith the Corinthians look at the<\/p>\n

240
\n00:17:03,500 –> 00:17:06,000
\nApostle and say yes, he’s got
\nwisdom. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:09,900
\nDid I think that he can set
\nforth the truth powerfully, <\/p>\n

242
\n00:17:10,000 –> 00:17:13,800
\nwhich he could the answer those
\nquestions was yes. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:16,300
\nWell, this is Paul have a look
\nat me. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:17:18,599 –> 00:17:23,200
\nWhat have I done according to my
\nability for when I came to you? <\/p>\n

245
\n00:17:23,200 –> 00:17:25,000
\nI didn’t come with the
\nExcellency of speech or of <\/p>\n

246
\n00:17:25,000 –> 00:17:28,800
\nwisdom declaring unto you the
\ntestimony of God. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:28,800 –> 00:17:32,300
\nI didn’t do it.
\nI didn’t come with flowery <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:32,300 –> 00:17:36,300
\nrhetoric.
\nSo it wasn’t my ability to speak<\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:36,300 –> 00:17:38,500
\nthey said his speech was
\ncontemptible. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:39,700 –> 00:17:44,600
\nIt wasn’t a good speaker at all.
\nAnd he certainly didn’t come <\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:45,500 –> 00:17:48,800
\nwith the wisdom that was wrapped
\naround and around and around <\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:48,800 –> 00:17:52,300
\nwith philosophy.
\nIt didn’t so the fact that a <\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:52,308 –> 00:17:55,500
\nbetter laws, of course that Paul
\nwas none of those things which I<\/p>\n

254
\n00:17:55,500 –> 00:17:58,400
\nadmired and yet they knew he was
\nan apostle of God. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:18:00,800 –> 00:18:03,700
\nWhen he came he says everything
\nthat I said. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:18:05,200 –> 00:18:08,200
\nWas underscored what they
\nbelieve that Jesus Christ was a <\/p>\n

257
\n00:18:08,200 –> 00:18:10,900
\ncrucified man.
\nI determined to know nothing <\/p>\n

258
\n00:18:10,900 –> 00:18:13,600
\namong you except Jesus Christ
\nand him crucified so that <\/p>\n

259
\n00:18:13,608 –> 00:18:16,000
\nwhenever Paul put forth the
\ntruth rather than sisters. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:16,200 –> 00:18:20,000
\nHe was always very careful not
\nto project himself into the <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:23,300
\naudience.
\nHe kept himself under control <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:23,300 –> 00:18:25,900
\nand everything that he said was
\ntempered by the belief that <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:25,900 –> 00:18:29,500
\nJesus Christ crucified the flesh
\nif Paul’s should fall into the <\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:29,500 –> 00:18:33,400
\nTrap of projecting himself into
\nthe audience and elevating <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:33,400 –> 00:18:37,000
\nhimself before them that Flying
\nin the face of the doctrine of <\/p>\n

266
\n00:18:37,008 –> 00:18:41,000
\nthe Cross and the very wild
\nputting out with the truth as <\/p>\n

267
\n00:18:41,000 –> 00:18:44,400
\nwell as it might have been done
\nwas a very denial at the Spirit <\/p>\n

268
\n00:18:44,400 –> 00:18:48,100
\nof it.
\nSo Paul says I never ever <\/p>\n

269
\n00:18:48,800 –> 00:18:51,900
\ndisplayed by personal
\ncharacteristics and abilities to<\/p>\n

270
\n00:18:51,900 –> 00:18:54,400
\nyou.
\nI crucified them. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:18:56,000 –> 00:18:59,200
\nAnd was he confident as they
\nlove confidence? <\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:01,400 –> 00:19:04,000
\nWas he one of those men brothers
\nand sisters whose wisdom was so <\/p>\n

273
\n00:19:04,000 –> 00:19:07,400
\nsure.
\nThat he spoke with such elegance<\/p>\n

274
\n00:19:07,400 –> 00:19:11,900
\nand determination and certainty
\nthat they saw it him one who was<\/p>\n

275
\n00:19:11,900 –> 00:19:15,400
\nso well educated.
\nThat they being so <\/p>\n

276
\n00:19:15,400 –> 00:19:18,600
\npoverty-stricken in knowledge.
\nHe was able to talk down to <\/p>\n

277
\n00:19:18,600 –> 00:19:24,900
\neverybody.
\nHe says I came to you. in <\/p>\n

278
\n00:19:24,900 –> 00:19:31,200
\nweakness I was frightened.
\nAnd I was trembling. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:19:33,700 –> 00:19:39,200
\nThat’s Paul talking to him.
\nWhat kind of witness he said? <\/p>\n

280
\n00:19:40,700 –> 00:19:48,000
\na scared Shaking All Over that’s
\nhow he turned up in the <\/p>\n

281
\n00:19:48,000 –> 00:19:51,200
\nequation.
\nThat’s not what they had by <\/p>\n

282
\n00:19:51,200 –> 00:19:53,800
\nBrethren and sisters and they
\nwould have been those among them<\/p>\n

283
\n00:19:53,800 –> 00:19:57,800
\nwho hated him for saying it.
\nBut they would have seen in <\/p>\n

284
\n00:19:57,800 –> 00:20:01,300
\nthat.
\nBut Paul was degrading himself <\/p>\n

285
\n00:20:01,300 –> 00:20:05,700
\nunnecessarily, but it wasn’t
\nright for such a great man as he<\/p>\n

286
\n00:20:05,700 –> 00:20:09,200
\nto speak like that because he
\ngive others a false impression. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:20:10,800 –> 00:20:12,600
\nThey should be very careful what
\nhe said. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:20:13,700 –> 00:20:16,500
\nBecause carrying on like that he
\ncould Rob people of their <\/p>\n

289
\n00:20:16,500 –> 00:20:19,400
\nconfidence I had in him, but he
\ncouldn’t care less what <\/p>\n

290
\n00:20:19,400 –> 00:20:23,000
\nconfidence they had in here.
\nHe told them very frankly and <\/p>\n

291
\n00:20:23,000 –> 00:20:26,000
\nvery openly about himself
\nbecause he was trying to <\/p>\n

292
\n00:20:26,000 –> 00:20:28,800
\nillustrate the doctor that he
\nwas teaching that has got <\/p>\n

293
\n00:20:28,800 –> 00:20:31,800
\nnothing whatever to do with
\nhuman intellect or ability. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:20:33,000 –> 00:20:35,400
\nHe went on to say that my speech
\nand my preaching. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:20:36,700 –> 00:20:41,100
\nWas not in the enticing words of
\nwisdom leave out the word man’s <\/p>\n

296
\n00:20:41,100 –> 00:20:42,400
\nbecause it’s not in the
\noriginal. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:20:43,600 –> 00:20:47,000
\nNot in the with enticing words
\nof wisdom, but in the <\/p>\n

298
\n00:20:47,000 –> 00:20:50,400
\ndemonstration of the spirit and
\nof power. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:20:51,800 –> 00:20:54,800
\nSo he didn’t wrap his Doctrine
\nup in Flowery language. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:20:55,600 –> 00:20:58,800
\nHe spoke the word of God and he
\ndisplayed that residences as for<\/p>\n

301
\n00:20:58,800 –> 00:21:04,400
\nwhat it was simple but profound
\nand tremendously powerful to <\/p>\n

302
\n00:21:04,400 –> 00:21:09,000
\nchange the lives of men and
\nwomen and so the apostle was <\/p>\n

303
\n00:21:09,000 –> 00:21:12,300
\nable to put before them there
\nfor those matters the very proof<\/p>\n

304
\n00:21:12,300 –> 00:21:14,600
\nof his Doctrine was the way in
\nwhich he came to them. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:21:15,600 –> 00:21:18,000
\nAnd if they worship intellect or
\nintellect site that he was a <\/p>\n

306
\n00:21:18,000 –> 00:21:21,800
\nfailure.
\nIf they worship the strength of <\/p>\n

307
\n00:21:21,800 –> 00:21:24,200
\npersonality and personal
\nability, then he was a <\/p>\n

308
\n00:21:24,200 –> 00:21:27,600
\ndisappointment.
\nBecause none of those things was<\/p>\n

309
\n00:21:27,600 –> 00:21:32,200
\ndisplayed in his life.
\nAnd so he didn’t come in the <\/p>\n

310
\n00:21:32,200 –> 00:21:34,800
\nwords of wisdom.
\nThat is the wisdom that they <\/p>\n

311
\n00:21:34,800 –> 00:21:38,500
\nwanted but now brother and
\nsisters from verses 6 to 10. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:21:38,900 –> 00:21:41,200
\nHe’s going to tell them that
\nthere is a brand of wisdom which<\/p>\n

313
\n00:21:41,200 –> 00:21:46,400
\nhe did come with because you see
\nthe gospel has its own brand of <\/p>\n

314
\n00:21:46,400 –> 00:21:50,100
\nwisdom.
\nThere’s A peculiar brand of <\/p>\n

315
\n00:21:50,100 –> 00:21:53,200
\nwisdom about the gospel that
\nonly you and I understand and <\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:53,200 –> 00:21:55,700
\nthe world out there they can’t
\neven understand it the <\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:55,700 –> 00:21:57,500
\nprofessors are all over the
\ncity. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:59,100 –> 00:22:03,700
\nAll of the teachers of science
\npresident sisters all the <\/p>\n

319
\n00:22:03,700 –> 00:22:08,300
\nIntelligencer of Melbourne the
\ncommercial Centre of Australia <\/p>\n

320
\n00:22:09,100 –> 00:22:11,500
\ncan understand what you
\nunderstand. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:22:13,400 –> 00:22:15,300
\nThey haven’t got a clue about
\nit. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:22:15,300 –> 00:22:17,900
\nAnd if you hadn’t told him it
\nwould be over their heads <\/p>\n

323
\n00:22:19,900 –> 00:22:23,900
\nbecause it’s a brand of wisdom
\nthat has the brand about of its <\/p>\n

324
\n00:22:23,900 –> 00:22:27,900
\npeculiarities that they don’t
\nknow anything about. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:22:29,500 –> 00:22:32,200
\nBecause it’s not something that
\na man finds out. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:22:33,200 –> 00:22:38,600
\nIt’s something that God reveals.
\nAnd therein lies The Secret of <\/p>\n

327
\n00:22:38,600 –> 00:22:41,600
\nit.
\nSo taking up verse 4 again and <\/p>\n

328
\n00:22:41,600 –> 00:22:45,000
\nreading through the verse 5,
\nyou’ll see the play on words <\/p>\n

329
\n00:22:45,000 –> 00:22:49,600
\nhere that the Apostle is using.
\nAnd my speech and my preaching <\/p>\n

330
\n00:22:49,600 –> 00:22:55,000
\nwas not with enticing words of
\nwisdom, but in the demonstration<\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:55,000 –> 00:22:58,700
\nof the spirit and of power that
\nyour faith should not stand in <\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:58,700 –> 00:23:02,500
\nthe wisdom of men but in the
\npower of God howbeit, we do <\/p>\n

333
\n00:23:02,500 –> 00:23:07,100
\nspeak wisdom.
\nThis is a different wisdom that <\/p>\n

334
\n00:23:08,200 –> 00:23:12,900
\nso he didn’t come in the flowery
\nwords of wisdom so cold but he <\/p>\n

335
\n00:23:12,900 –> 00:23:16,600
\nsaid I want you to understand
\nthis that there is a wisdom that<\/p>\n

336
\n00:23:16,600 –> 00:23:20,800
\nwe do speak but as the brand of
\nwisdom, which is absolutely <\/p>\n

337
\n00:23:20,800 –> 00:23:25,200
\nopposed to that one.
\nAnd it’s a waste of his goes on <\/p>\n

338
\n00:23:25,208 –> 00:23:27,900
\nto say brothers and sisters in
\nverse 6. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:23:27,900 –> 00:23:33,300
\nHe said that we can only speak
\namong them that are perfect. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:23:34,800 –> 00:23:37,700
\nNo good talking this sort of
\nwisdom to any other class of <\/p>\n

341
\n00:23:37,700 –> 00:23:41,300
\npeople then the mature.
\nBecause they’ll just look at you<\/p>\n

342
\n00:23:41,308 –> 00:23:43,800
\nwith open mouth as if you’re a
\nlunatic. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:23:43,800 –> 00:23:45,600
\nThey won’t understand what
\nyou’re talking about. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:23:46,700 –> 00:23:51,200
\nThe word perfect, of course
\nKelly asked means mature people <\/p>\n

345
\n00:23:51,200 –> 00:23:54,700
\nwho have able to grasp the
\nthings of God and he said I can <\/p>\n

346
\n00:23:54,700 –> 00:23:57,200
\nonly speak this wisdom to that
\nclass of people. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:23:57,800 –> 00:24:00,600
\nWhat about the intelligence of
\nthe world huh? <\/p>\n

348
\n00:24:00,800 –> 00:24:06,700
\nUseless he says which none of
\nthe princes of this world you In<\/p>\n

349
\n00:24:06,700 –> 00:24:09,100
\nverse 6.
\nHe says we had the wisdom of <\/p>\n

350
\n00:24:09,100 –> 00:24:11,600
\nthis world which nor the prince
\nof this world which come to <\/p>\n

351
\n00:24:11,600 –> 00:24:15,500
\nNorth so that those who
\nconstituted the wisdom of this <\/p>\n

352
\n00:24:15,500 –> 00:24:17,200
\nworld.
\nThat is the Greek philosopher <\/p>\n

353
\n00:24:18,200 –> 00:24:21,600
\nand the princes of this world
\nthe Jewish leaders because that <\/p>\n

354
\n00:24:21,600 –> 00:24:24,900
\nis a title, you know, which
\nbelongs to them in the 14th <\/p>\n

355
\n00:24:24,900 –> 00:24:27,500
\nchapter of John.
\nJesus said the prince of this <\/p>\n

356
\n00:24:27,500 –> 00:24:29,900
\nworld cometh, and he was
\nreferring to those Jewish <\/p>\n

357
\n00:24:29,900 –> 00:24:35,300
\nleaders who came to take him and
\nso the Jewish intelligencia the <\/p>\n

358
\n00:24:35,300 –> 00:24:38,400
\nGentile Inteligencia, none of
\nthem understood. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:24:38,400 –> 00:24:41,600
\nIt says the Apostle it was way
\nover their head. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:24:43,300 –> 00:24:46,100
\nAnd he went on to say in verse
\n7. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:24:47,400 –> 00:24:50,200
\nBut we speak the wisdom of God
\nin a mystery. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:24:52,000 –> 00:24:53,900
\nYou know president sisters what
\nhe said that. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:24:55,200 –> 00:24:58,400
\nOf course, that would tickle the
\nCorinthian ear they love <\/p>\n

364
\n00:24:58,400 –> 00:25:01,700
\nmysteries.
\nThat’s what they were all <\/p>\n

365
\n00:25:01,700 –> 00:25:05,400
\nhankering after they would love
\nit for brother got up there and <\/p>\n

366
\n00:25:05,400 –> 00:25:09,800
\nhe spoke in a philosophical way
\nand wrapped up the principles of<\/p>\n

367
\n00:25:09,800 –> 00:25:14,000
\nthe truth in ever so much
\ndifficult language weaving his <\/p>\n

368
\n00:25:14,000 –> 00:25:17,200
\nway through the Labyrinth of
\nhuman intellect, and that’ll be <\/p>\n

369
\n00:25:17,200 –> 00:25:19,500
\nstruggling to follow him and
\nwouldn’t probably understand a <\/p>\n

370
\n00:25:19,508 –> 00:25:22,500
\nnight to what he said, but they
\nturn to each other and say that <\/p>\n

371
\n00:25:22,500 –> 00:25:27,200
\nwas brilliant.
\nThat says the apostle. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:25:28,600 –> 00:25:31,000
\nI’m going to tell you another
\nmystery. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:25:32,900 –> 00:25:36,200
\nBut it wasn’t a mystery
\npresident sisters, which was <\/p>\n

374
\n00:25:36,200 –> 00:25:37,900
\nwrapped in those sort of
\nphilosophies. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:25:39,800 –> 00:25:45,600
\nIt was a very simple mystery.
\nThe answer to which was not the <\/p>\n

376
\n00:25:45,600 –> 00:25:50,400
\nconcentration of the human mind
\nupon the Devil he’s of eloquent <\/p>\n

377
\n00:25:50,400 –> 00:25:53,400
\nspeech.
\nIt was just simply. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:25:55,600 –> 00:25:59,000
\nOf coming the ear to the voice
\nof God and he would whisper the <\/p>\n

379
\n00:25:59,000 –> 00:26:03,700
\nanswer straight into your ear.
\nNothing very difficult about <\/p>\n

380
\n00:26:03,700 –> 00:26:11,800
\nthat. all it took was a
\nchildlike Simplicity a childlike<\/p>\n

381
\n00:26:11,800 –> 00:26:18,300
\nsimplicity. a deep love of God
\nand a burning desire to know <\/p>\n

382
\n00:26:18,300 –> 00:26:22,200
\nwhat he said and when the Eddie
\nwas cocked in that attitude. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:26:22,300 –> 00:26:26,900
\nGod said straight into the
\nexactly what he meant and it <\/p>\n

384
\n00:26:26,900 –> 00:26:28,900
\ndidn’t take any Einstein to
\nunderstand. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:26:31,000 –> 00:26:35,700
\nAnd that’s Paul’s Doctrine.
\nIt was that which was revealed. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:26:37,700 –> 00:26:42,200
\nI thank thee father said the
\nLord Jesus Christ, but that was <\/p>\n

387
\n00:26:42,200 –> 00:26:45,900
\nhidden these things from the
\nwise and prudent and Hast <\/p>\n

388
\n00:26:45,900 –> 00:26:53,400
\nrevealed them unto babies.
\nAnd Paul went on to talk about <\/p>\n

389
\n00:26:53,400 –> 00:26:57,000
\nthis wisdom.
\nIt was a hidden wisdom because <\/p>\n

390
\n00:26:57,000 –> 00:27:00,700
\nit was hidden from the wise and
\nprudent and are we going to say <\/p>\n

391
\n00:27:00,700 –> 00:27:03,100
\nthree things about that wisdom
\nbrothers and sisters? <\/p>\n

392
\n00:27:03,900 –> 00:27:06,600
\nWhat about that wisdom that God
\nhad hidden but now was revealed <\/p>\n

393
\n00:27:06,600 –> 00:27:08,500
\nto them if they wanted it to be
\nrevealed to them. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:27:08,900 –> 00:27:12,100
\nThere are three things that he
\nwanted to say about and that is <\/p>\n

395
\n00:27:12,100 –> 00:27:19,300
\nthis one.
\nIt didn’t originate. from any <\/p>\n

396
\n00:27:19,300 –> 00:27:28,400
\nphilosophy of man that’s in the
\nseven. 2 and verse 8 the Jewish <\/p>\n

397
\n00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:33,200
\nrulers whom they admired didn’t
\nunderstand it. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:27:35,200 –> 00:27:41,800
\nAnd three from verses 9 to 14,
\nit can only be understood by a <\/p>\n

399
\n00:27:41,808 –> 00:27:46,100
\ncertain class of people.
\nI’ll take the first point. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:27:47,600 –> 00:27:50,100
\nThe hidden wisdom of God, which
\nhave been revealed through the <\/p>\n

401
\n00:27:50,100 –> 00:27:55,400
\ngospel didn’t originate with
\nman’s philosophy verse 7, but we<\/p>\n

402
\n00:27:55,400 –> 00:27:57,400
\nspeak the wisdom of God in a
\nmystery. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:27:57,700 –> 00:28:03,800
\nEven the hidden wisdom which God
\nordained before the Ice Age unto<\/p>\n

404
\n00:28:03,800 –> 00:28:07,800
\nour Glory.
\nNow the reason he said that was <\/p>\n

405
\n00:28:07,800 –> 00:28:10,900
\nbecause in Greek philosophy
\nbrothers and sisters, they <\/p>\n

406
\n00:28:10,900 –> 00:28:14,100
\nalways went back and trace the
\nhistory of that philosophy to <\/p>\n

407
\n00:28:14,100 –> 00:28:19,000
\none of the founding fathers who
\nwould come up with some are <\/p>\n

408
\n00:28:19,000 –> 00:28:24,500
\nstanding observation.
\nAnd in the words of rhetoric <\/p>\n

409
\n00:28:24,500 –> 00:28:28,600
\nwould put that in a phraseology
\nwhich would to them would <\/p>\n

410
\n00:28:28,600 –> 00:28:32,600
\ncapture the whole Spirit of that
\ntruth so-called. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:28:33,800 –> 00:28:37,400
\nAnd then from the foundation
\nstatement of their Plato’s <\/p>\n

412
\n00:28:37,600 –> 00:28:40,800
\nhypocrite, he Socrates and all
\nthose wonderful philosophers who<\/p>\n

413
\n00:28:40,800 –> 00:28:43,500
\nbecame the father of those
\nthoughts. <\/p>\n

414
\n00:28:44,700 –> 00:28:49,000
\nSo their students would we even
\nspin their theories? <\/p>\n

415
\n00:28:50,000 –> 00:28:55,500
\nStretching out that statement in
\nall the Wonder of human <\/p>\n

416
\n00:28:55,500 –> 00:28:59,500
\nintellect.
\nWell said the Apostle this <\/p>\n

417
\n00:28:59,500 –> 00:29:02,800
\nwisdom that I’m talking about to
\nyou is traceable to none of <\/p>\n

418
\n00:29:02,808 –> 00:29:07,100
\nthose fathers.
\nIt goes back before the Ice Age <\/p>\n

419
\n00:29:07,200 –> 00:29:11,200
\nit goes back to God.
\nThe origin of this wisdom <\/p>\n

420
\n00:29:11,200 –> 00:29:13,700
\nresident sisters would be for
\nman himself. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:29:15,000 –> 00:29:21,000
\nBeyond man before man, he knew
\nnothing about it was all <\/p>\n

422
\n00:29:21,000 –> 00:29:24,300
\ninvested in God so didn’t
\noriginate with those <\/p>\n

423
\n00:29:24,300 –> 00:29:27,900
\nphilosophers.
\nAnd as for the Jewish rulers in <\/p>\n

424
\n00:29:27,900 –> 00:29:32,300
\nverse 8 Which none of the
\nprinces of this world knew? <\/p>\n

425
\n00:29:33,800 –> 00:29:37,200
\nFor had they known it.
\nThey would not have crucified <\/p>\n

426
\n00:29:37,200 –> 00:29:41,300
\nthe Lord of Glory.
\nHow logical is that? <\/p>\n

427
\n00:29:41,600 –> 00:29:43,600
\nYou know you want wisdom.
\nHe said the cream that you are <\/p>\n

428
\n00:29:43,600 –> 00:29:45,300
\nwisdom.
\nThis is the logic of this. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:29:46,200 –> 00:29:49,100
\nHe said it’s a wisdom which the
\nJewish rulers didn’t know proof.<\/p>\n

430
\n00:29:49,500 –> 00:29:52,300
\nHe won’t prove it never mind
\nabout philosophy take the <\/p>\n

431
\n00:29:52,300 –> 00:29:56,100
\npractical application of life,
\nyou know brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:29:56,100 –> 00:29:59,300
\nThe greatest exhibition of Truth
\nis in practicalities. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:30:01,000 –> 00:30:05,300
\nAnd Paul told them in the in an
\nearlier words of his in Acts <\/p>\n

434
\n00:30:05,300 –> 00:30:10,500
\nchapter 13 He says and the
\nJewish rulers because they knew <\/p>\n

435
\n00:30:10,500 –> 00:30:16,800
\nhim not nor yet the voices of
\nthe prophets, which I read every<\/p>\n

\nThey have fulfilled them by <\/p>\n

\n00:30:21,800 –> 00:30:26,300
\ncondemning him.
\nAnd he’s painting the picture of<\/p>\n

438
\n00:30:26,300 –> 00:30:29,500

\nthem brothers and sisters even <\/p>\n

\nThey’re there with their glasses<\/p>\n

\nthat he was reading about. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:31:14,400 –> 00:31:20,500
\nThat’s where his wisdom got him.
\nCrucified the embodiment of the <\/p>\n

\nHe said which you admire.
\nincredible brother and sisters <\/p>\n

456
\n00:31:52,000 –> 00:31:54,300
\nWhat about themselves?
\nWhere does that leave them? <\/p>\n

457
\n00:31:55,800 –> 00:31:58,200
\nThey still feel helpless and
\nhopeless because they can’t <\/p>\n

458
\n00:31:58,200 –> 00:32:00,500
\nunderstand the Bible.
\nI can understand the Bible. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:32:02,500 –> 00:32:04,800
\nBut as it is written in verse 9
\nsays the apostle. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:32:06,800 –> 00:32:12,900
\nI have not seen.
\nNor Ear heard neither has <\/p>\n

\n00:32:12,900 –> 00:32:16,400
\nentered into the heart of man
\nthe things which God has <\/p>\n

462
\n00:32:16,400 –> 00:32:21,500
\nprepared for them that love him.
\na quotation from the 64th <\/p>\n

463
\n00:32:21,500 –> 00:32:24,200
\nchapter of Isaiah brother and
\nsisters which on the surface <\/p>\n

464
\n00:32:24,200 –> 00:32:29,100
\nwould seem to mean But all I
\nhave not seen here at not heard <\/p>\n

465
\n00:32:29,100 –> 00:32:31,300
\nthe heart of man hasn’t
\nconceived the things which God <\/p>\n

466
\n00:32:31,300 –> 00:32:33,700
\nhas prepared.
\nIt would seem to mean that when <\/p>\n

467
\n00:32:33,700 –> 00:32:35,900
\nthe kingdom comes it’ll beyond
\ntheir comprehension. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:32:36,100 –> 00:32:38,600
\nIt’s beyond their copy into the
\nwonders of the kingdom. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:32:38,900 –> 00:32:42,600
\nYes, I suppose that’s what it
\ndoes mean, but that’s not what <\/p>\n

470
\n00:32:42,600 –> 00:32:47,800
\nPaul is quoting it for.
\nThat’s not his point at all. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:32:48,900 –> 00:32:54,000
\nHe has his own use of that verse
\nand the key word is the one that<\/p>\n

472
\n00:32:54,000 –> 00:32:58,300
\nI will emphasize.
\nAnd he says as it is written eye<\/p>\n

473
\n00:32:58,300 –> 00:33:03,900
\nhath not seen.
\nNor Ear heard neither has <\/p>\n

474
\n00:33:03,900 –> 00:33:10,500
\nentered into the heart of man.
\nThe things that God has prepared<\/p>\n

475
\n00:33:10,500 –> 00:33:15,500
\nfor them that love him.
\nSo we may have a piercing eye. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:33:16,600 –> 00:33:18,200
\nA brother has come into the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:33:19,700 –> 00:33:23,800
\nAnd he’s come from one of the
\nprofessions but perhaps it’s a <\/p>\n

478
\n00:33:23,808 –> 00:33:27,700
\nprofessional man.
\nHe has a lake long background of<\/p>\n

479
\n00:33:27,700 –> 00:33:31,200
\nUniversity education.
\nHe’s a Euro died individual <\/p>\n

480
\n00:33:31,200 –> 00:33:34,100
\nwhose shelves of his Lobby and
\nnow filled with the works of the<\/p>\n

481
\n00:33:34,100 –> 00:33:36,900
\ntruth.
\nHe speaks eloquently and uses <\/p>\n

482
\n00:33:36,900 –> 00:33:39,900
\nbig words and all the Brethren
\nstand back and they say this <\/p>\n

483
\n00:33:39,900 –> 00:33:42,700
\nbrother is going to be a Marvel
\nhe’s going to turn the world <\/p>\n

484
\n00:33:42,700 –> 00:33:46,600
\nupside down with his background.
\nWhat do you think has been the <\/p>\n

485
\n00:33:46,600 –> 00:33:50,800
\nmost brilliant guy in the world,
\nbut he’ll say nothing if he <\/p>\n

486
\n00:33:50,808 –> 00:33:54,600
\ndoesn’t love God.
\nHe may have an ear brothers and <\/p>\n

487
\n00:33:54,600 –> 00:33:58,800
\nsisters children to all the
\ndiversity is of Ben’s words of <\/p>\n

488
\n00:33:58,800 –> 00:34:02,200
\nall the discernment of detail.
\nHe may be able to hear things <\/p>\n

489
\n00:34:02,200 –> 00:34:06,200
\nthat you and I can never hear,
\nbut you’ll never ever hear God’s<\/p>\n

490
\n00:34:06,200 –> 00:34:08,199
\nvoice.
\nHe doesn’t love me. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:34:10,199 –> 00:34:15,000
\nAnd the wisdom of God went into
\nthe heart of anyone whose heart <\/p>\n

492
\n00:34:15,000 –> 00:34:19,600
\nis dominated by man.
\nHave you ever heard people talk <\/p>\n

493
\n00:34:19,600 –> 00:34:22,900
\nabout Pole?
\nYou go to your lessons on the <\/p>\n

494
\n00:34:22,900 –> 00:34:27,199
\nApostle Paul.
\nAnd inevitably the teacher will <\/p>\n

495
\n00:34:27,199 –> 00:34:31,400
\ntalk teacher young that it was
\nPaul’s background that prepared <\/p>\n

496
\n00:34:31,400 –> 00:34:35,699
\nhim for the great work that he
\nhad in Christ. brought over the <\/p>\n

497
\n00:34:35,699 –> 00:34:41,600
\nfeet of Gamaliel educated
\namongst the great rabbis above <\/p>\n

498
\n00:34:41,600 –> 00:34:43,600
\nmany of his equals cover the
\nclass. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:34:44,699 –> 00:34:49,699
\nAnd he’s Roman background.
\nHis knowledge of Greek and all <\/p>\n

500
\n00:34:49,699 –> 00:34:52,100
\nthe ways in which he picked up
\nthings which swirled around <\/p>\n

501
\n00:34:52,100 –> 00:34:54,600
\nabout him fit in with a great
\nwork of preaching. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:34:54,800 –> 00:34:57,100
\nDo you know what Paul said about
\nthat? <\/p>\n

503
\n00:34:57,300 –> 00:35:01,500
\nHe classified all of that under
\none category done. <\/p>\n

504
\n00:35:07,300 –> 00:35:12,100
\nIs how he classified a lot of?
\nAnd he went around the world <\/p>\n

505
\n00:35:12,100 –> 00:35:16,400
\nteaching everybody.
\nThat is so called brilliance. <\/p>\n

506
\n00:35:17,700 –> 00:35:23,200
\nWas nothing more to him than a
\nhindrance. and that all he ever <\/p>\n

507
\n00:35:23,200 –> 00:35:26,900
\nlearned subsequent to his
\nbaptism was because of the grace<\/p>\n

508
\n00:35:26,900 –> 00:35:31,400
\nof God which revealed to him
\nthat which he was absolutely <\/p>\n

509
\n00:35:31,800 –> 00:35:36,800
\nignorant of Show me a passage
\ncontrary to that. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:35:39,400 –> 00:35:42,700
\nIt didn’t do him any good
\nbrother and sisters it blinded <\/p>\n

511
\n00:35:42,700 –> 00:35:46,400
\nhim.
\nAnd if those were the things <\/p>\n

512
\n00:35:46,400 –> 00:35:50,000
\nthat were necessary to teach
\npole the truth, then the light <\/p>\n

513
\n00:35:50,000 –> 00:35:53,100
\nout of Heaven that shot on the
\nground and shown around him on <\/p>\n

514
\n00:35:53,100 –> 00:35:55,900
\nthe way to Damascus was
\nsuperfluous. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:35:58,200 –> 00:35:59,900
\nBut what that light did from
\nheaven? <\/p>\n

516
\n00:36:01,100 –> 00:36:06,300
\nwas to Blind him and to
\nillustrate to him just how blind<\/p>\n

517
\n00:36:06,300 –> 00:36:11,000
\nthat he really was.
\nAnd as I said, he put all those <\/p>\n

518
\n00:36:11,000 –> 00:36:17,000
\nthings under one category, Dan.
\nYou know, we want to read our <\/p>\n

519
\n00:36:17,000 –> 00:36:21,100
\nBibles carefully.
\nThe Apostle is wonderful as he <\/p>\n

520
\n00:36:21,100 –> 00:36:25,400
\nsets forth this Doctrine.
\nHe pointed this out brother and <\/p>\n

521
\n00:36:25,400 –> 00:36:28,800
\nsisters as he sweeps on in his
\nDoctrine here. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:36:29,900 –> 00:36:34,700
\nIn verse 10, but God hath
\nrevealed them unto us by his <\/p>\n

523
\n00:36:34,700 –> 00:36:38,400
\nspirit.
\nSo it isn’t a question of human <\/p>\n

524
\n00:36:38,400 –> 00:36:40,200
\nintellect.
\nIt’s a question of God’s <\/p>\n

525
\n00:36:40,200 –> 00:36:45,000
\nrevelation.
\nA lot of people don’t comprehend<\/p>\n

526
\n00:36:45,000 –> 00:36:49,400
\nthis in Isaiah’s gospel when
\nIsaiah pointed out that he would<\/p>\n

527
\n00:36:49,400 –> 00:36:53,000
\nsend upon them to deep sleep and
\nclose their eyes and in Isaiah 6<\/p>\n

528
\n00:36:53,000 –> 00:36:56,700
\nwhen he told them but they
\nwouldn’t understand the truth <\/p>\n

529
\n00:36:57,200 –> 00:36:59,500
\neither is not saying brother and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:37:00,200 –> 00:37:03,300
\nHe’s not saying in those
\npassages, but the Jew would <\/p>\n

531
\n00:37:03,300 –> 00:37:05,600
\nreach a point where he couldn’t
\nunderstand the word of God. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:37:05,700 –> 00:37:07,800
\nHe’s telling them that they
\nwould reach a point of history <\/p>\n

533
\n00:37:07,800 –> 00:37:10,700
\nwhen they wouldn’t be allowed to
\nunderstand the word of God. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:37:11,300 –> 00:37:18,100
\nSaid Jesus lest they be healed.
\nList I be converted and I healed<\/p>\n

535
\n00:37:18,100 –> 00:37:22,700
\nthem this baby.
\nAnd he deliberately spoke in <\/p>\n

536
\n00:37:22,700 –> 00:37:26,100
\nParables knowing full.
\nWell, they wouldn’t comprehend <\/p>\n

537
\n00:37:26,100 –> 00:37:30,000
\nit because the prophecy of
\nIsaiah had reached that point of<\/p>\n

538
\n00:37:30,008 –> 00:37:33,400
\ntheir history when because of
\ntheir attitude towards God was <\/p>\n

539
\n00:37:33,400 –> 00:37:37,700
\nsuch that he refused to reveal
\nit to them and it wasn’t because<\/p>\n

540
\n00:37:37,700 –> 00:37:40,800
\nof their own lack of
\nunderstanding or their <\/p>\n

541
\n00:37:40,800 –> 00:37:43,800
\nacquisition of their own
\nintellect that went one way or <\/p>\n

542
\n00:37:43,800 –> 00:37:47,000
\nthe other was because God chose
\nnot to tell them. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:37:48,000 –> 00:37:50,500
\nAnd these things which we know
\nbrothers and sisters have been <\/p>\n

544
\n00:37:50,500 –> 00:37:54,800
\nrevealed unto us.
\nAnd people say well, how is God <\/p>\n

545
\n00:37:54,800 –> 00:37:58,400
\nrevealed these things unto us?
\nThey say well, I don’t <\/p>\n

546
\n00:37:58,400 –> 00:38:01,500
\nunderstand the truth.
\nI can’t do these things. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:38:01,500 –> 00:38:03,800
\nI can’t pick up the Bible and
\nread it like other Brethren pick<\/p>\n

548
\n00:38:03,800 –> 00:38:06,300
\nup the Bible.
\nI try and I can’t why? <\/p>\n

549
\n00:38:08,000 –> 00:38:10,700
\nYou know brother and sisters.
\nIt’s all a question of attitude.<\/p>\n

550
\n00:38:12,300 –> 00:38:15,700
\nIf what I’m saying is true, and
\nI don’t think anyone can gainsay<\/p>\n

551
\n00:38:15,700 –> 00:38:19,800
\nit if the Revelation comes from
\nGod you tell me what difficulty <\/p>\n

552
\n00:38:19,800 –> 00:38:22,900
\nthere is.
\nI know this is difficult to <\/p>\n

553
\n00:38:22,908 –> 00:38:26,000
\naccept your Human Experience is
\nall against it. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:38:26,300 –> 00:38:30,400
\nYour logic is against your own
\nlife seems to be a denial of it,<\/p>\n

555
\n00:38:30,400 –> 00:38:34,400
\nbut then effects of scripture
\nwhatever goal is to God to <\/p>\n

556
\n00:38:34,408 –> 00:38:37,900
\nreveal his truth to any of us.
\nThe difficulty is are attitude. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:38:39,600 –> 00:38:42,000
\nYou take for example.
\nHe says he for them that love <\/p>\n

558
\n00:38:42,000 –> 00:38:44,800
\nhim.
\nYou stay in a group of brothers <\/p>\n

559
\n00:38:44,800 –> 00:38:48,700
\nand sisters.
\nYou talk about the Bible and the<\/p>\n

560
\n00:38:48,700 –> 00:38:52,400
\nbrother sets forth.
\nAnd he says well, I don’t know <\/p>\n

561
\n00:38:52,400 –> 00:38:54,400
\nwhere you get all these things
\nfrom he says, you know when you <\/p>\n

562
\n00:38:54,400 –> 00:38:56,900
\nopen the Bible you talk about I
\ndon’t see those things in it at <\/p>\n

563
\n00:38:56,900 –> 00:38:58,200
\nall.
\nHe said I must be dense. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:38:58,300 –> 00:39:00,300
\nI don’t know I could never
\nunderstand those things. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:39:00,600 –> 00:39:03,400
\nI could never see that I would
\nnever mind, but that sort of <\/p>\n

566
\n00:39:03,400 –> 00:39:07,100
\ndata.
\nAnd the conversation Ebbs and <\/p>\n

567
\n00:39:07,100 –> 00:39:09,800
\nflows.
\nAnd eventually it gets it off <\/p>\n

568
\n00:39:09,800 –> 00:39:12,400
\nthe Bible.
\nAnd it gets on to other <\/p>\n

569
\n00:39:12,400 –> 00:39:22,200
\nsubjects. motor cats and all of
\na sudden that non compos mentis <\/p>\n

570
\n00:39:22,200 –> 00:39:27,400
\nindividual becomes a walking
\nencyclopedia on Motorcars. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:39:29,200 –> 00:39:36,300
\nAnd I’m out of my depth in NATO.
\nAnd he talks technicalities. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:39:38,200 –> 00:39:41,300
\nDouble Dutch to me I wouldn’t
\nhave a clue what he’s talking <\/p>\n

573
\n00:39:41,300 –> 00:39:47,400
\nabout and he’s brilliant.
\nYou listen to him change the <\/p>\n

574
\n00:39:47,400 –> 00:39:49,700
\nconversation.
\nWhatever takes your fancy. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:39:51,100 –> 00:39:55,300
\nWherever a man’s Hardee’s.
\nAnd he’ll understand it Brethren<\/p>\n

576
\n00:39:55,300 –> 00:39:57,800
\nsisters.
\nDespite any disability. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:40:00,300 –> 00:40:06,900
\nBecause he loves it.
\nAnd that’s an absolute truth of <\/p>\n

578
\n00:40:06,900 –> 00:40:09,700
\na practical experience in I
\nthink everyone’s life. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:40:11,100 –> 00:40:17,500
\nWe’re experts. in that which we
\nlove and that’s very very true <\/p>\n

580
\n00:40:17,500 –> 00:40:21,900
\nof the Bible.
\nThis a difference that if we <\/p>\n

581
\n00:40:21,900 –> 00:40:25,200
\nload the things of this world
\nand the wisdom of this world, we<\/p>\n

582
\n00:40:25,200 –> 00:40:28,200
\nhave to require it by our
\nability. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:40:29,400 –> 00:40:33,800
\nBut if we love the things of God
\nrather than sisters it is given <\/p>\n

584
\n00:40:35,100 –> 00:40:40,600
\nBy revelation of God’s word.
\nLook what he says. in verse 11 <\/p>\n

585
\n00:40:42,400 –> 00:40:45,900
\nFor what man knoweth the things
\nof a man save the spirit of man,<\/p>\n

586
\n00:40:45,900 –> 00:40:51,000
\nwhich is in him.
\nEven so the things of God <\/p>\n

587
\n00:40:51,000 –> 00:40:56,500
\nknoweth no man, but the spirit
\nof God now we have received not <\/p>\n

588
\n00:40:56,500 –> 00:41:00,600
\nthe spirit of this world, but
\nthe spirit which is of god that <\/p>\n

589
\n00:41:00,600 –> 00:41:05,200
\nwe might know the things that
\nare freely given us of God. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:41:06,000 –> 00:41:10,500
\nNow what he saying is this who
\ncan ever know the things of a <\/p>\n

591
\n00:41:10,500 –> 00:41:14,200
\nman save the spirit of a man
\nthat’s in him. <\/p>\n

592
\n00:41:14,200 –> 00:41:18,200
\nIn other words.
\nI can understand perfectly <\/p>\n

593
\n00:41:19,500 –> 00:41:22,700
\nanything that is instinctive to
\nmy nature to know. <\/p>\n

594
\n00:41:25,300 –> 00:41:30,700
\nIf my buddy crave something.
\nIf my ego craves something. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:41:31,900 –> 00:41:36,900
\nI know exactly what it is.
\nBecause it’s in me. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:41:36,900 –> 00:41:41,400
\nIt’s native to me.
\nI relate to it so easily and so <\/p>\n

597
\n00:41:41,400 –> 00:41:46,400
\nwell.
\nWell, the spirit which is of God<\/p>\n

598
\n00:41:46,400 –> 00:41:51,600
\nis God.
\nGod is Spirit Redmond sisters. <\/p>\n

599
\n00:41:53,600 –> 00:41:58,200
\nAnd we can only know the things
\nof God when we relate to God and<\/p>\n

600
\n00:41:58,200 –> 00:42:03,800
\nthat is not native.
\nSo whereas one Spirit of <\/p>\n

601
\n00:42:03,800 –> 00:42:09,400
\nunderstanding is native within
\nus the other has to be received <\/p>\n

602
\n00:42:09,400 –> 00:42:14,900
\nof he who is freely giving it.
\nAnd I don’t relate naturally to <\/p>\n

603
\n00:42:14,900 –> 00:42:17,500
\nthe things of God.
\nI’ve got to wait till it’s <\/p>\n

604
\n00:42:17,500 –> 00:42:21,600
\ngiven.
\nDoes that mean therefore the God<\/p>\n

605
\n00:42:21,600 –> 00:42:23,800
\nwill reveal something to us
\napart from the Bible? <\/p>\n

606
\n00:42:23,800 –> 00:42:28,600
\nHe will not bring them sisters.
\nThere’s no such thing as it got <\/p>\n

607
\n00:42:28,600 –> 00:42:31,800
\na spirit from God extraneous to
\nthat book coming in our ear and <\/p>\n

608
\n00:42:31,800 –> 00:42:34,200
\nsaying that Bible means that
\nit’s not that what Paul is not <\/p>\n

609
\n00:42:34,200 –> 00:42:38,500
\ntalking about but you give your
\nyou do this you make a practical<\/p>\n

610
\n00:42:38,500 –> 00:42:41,400
\nexample in your own life of this
\nand see whether this is not true<\/p>\n

611
\n00:42:42,400 –> 00:42:45,300
\nwhat happens when we come to our
\ndesks to study the Bible. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:42:47,000 –> 00:42:48,700
\nWe haven’t got the ability
\nBrethren sisters. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:42:48,700 –> 00:42:52,300
\nI had absolutely no education in
\nthis world couldn’t care less <\/p>\n

614
\n00:42:52,300 –> 00:42:56,400
\nabout that.
\nWell, I love that book, but I <\/p>\n

615
\n00:42:56,400 –> 00:42:59,800
\nknow this.
\nWhen I come home from work. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:43:01,000 –> 00:43:03,800
\nAnd I find my way to my desk and
\nI sit down to that Bible. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:43:04,600 –> 00:43:08,500
\nI expect in the first out of my
\nstudy to get absolutely nothing <\/p>\n

618
\n00:43:08,500 –> 00:43:13,300
\nout of that ball.
\nExperience has taught me long <\/p>\n

619
\n00:43:13,300 –> 00:43:16,500
\nago never to be impatient about
\nthat because I understand why. <\/p>\n

620
\n00:43:18,300 –> 00:43:21,100
\nBecause my mind has been taken
\nup all day with the mundane <\/p>\n

621
\n00:43:21,100 –> 00:43:25,100
\nthings of life.
\nBusiness, of course at work <\/p>\n

622
\n00:43:26,100 –> 00:43:28,900
\nfamily worries and so on May
\noccupy your mind somewhat <\/p>\n

623
\n00:43:30,000 –> 00:43:31,700
\nwhatever.
\nIt might be it’s not the things <\/p>\n

624
\n00:43:31,700 –> 00:43:35,600
\nof God and you might have caused
\nis in the natural world and you <\/p>\n

625
\n00:43:35,608 –> 00:43:38,500
\nrelate ever so easily to that
\nbecause that’s part of you <\/p>\n

626
\n00:43:38,500 –> 00:43:43,100
\nreally We all understand that
\nwhen we come home. <\/p>\n

627
\n00:43:43,100 –> 00:43:45,700
\nThat’s our frame of mind.
\nSo we go and sit at the desk and<\/p>\n

628
\n00:43:45,700 –> 00:43:49,500
\nwe opened the Bible.
\nWe fix our eyes upon that Bible.<\/p>\n

629
\n00:43:50,000 –> 00:43:52,900
\nThey may be intelligent eyes.
\nWe may have intelligent ears, <\/p>\n

630
\n00:43:53,300 –> 00:43:56,200
\nbut that Bible Brethren and
\nsisters will be a foreign <\/p>\n

631
\n00:43:56,200 –> 00:43:59,600
\nlanguage to us for a
\nconsiderable time in that desk. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:44:01,600 –> 00:44:03,500
\nAnd so we work our way around
\nthat vibe. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:44:04,900 –> 00:44:06,800
\nWe do what we call mechanical
\nwork. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:44:08,000 –> 00:44:10,200
\nWe look at Greek and Hebrew
\nwords. <\/p>\n

635
\n00:44:11,200 –> 00:44:15,800
\nWe check this or we check that
\nwhich anybody can do and what we<\/p>\n

636
\n00:44:15,800 –> 00:44:19,000
\nare doing is biding our time and
\nthinking about that Bible until <\/p>\n

637
\n00:44:19,000 –> 00:44:24,200
\ngradually my thoughts are not
\nyour thoughts as God, but <\/p>\n

638
\n00:44:24,200 –> 00:44:28,700
\ngradually our thoughts Fade Away
\ninto insignificance and pale <\/p>\n

639
\n00:44:28,700 –> 00:44:33,000
\ninto nothingness and gradually
\nthe ideas of God come into that <\/p>\n

640
\n00:44:33,000 –> 00:44:37,000
\nvacuum.
\nAnd at last we can see what that<\/p>\n

641
\n00:44:37,000 –> 00:44:40,200
\nBible is.
\nRight because we have orientated<\/p>\n

642
\n00:44:40,200 –> 00:44:44,800
\nto God away from ourselves and
\nBrethren sisters that happens <\/p>\n

643
\n00:44:45,100 –> 00:44:50,100
\nwith such repetition that is so
\nimpressive to make that at the <\/p>\n

644
\n00:44:50,100 –> 00:44:53,100
\nend of that evening after having
\nspent several hours of that <\/p>\n

645
\n00:44:53,100 –> 00:44:57,100
\nBible.
\nThe last hour is absolutely <\/p>\n

646
\n00:44:57,100 –> 00:45:02,800
\nsupre.
\nBecause in the last hour the <\/p>\n

647
\n00:45:02,800 –> 00:45:07,200
\nproductivity of our mind in that
\nbook is enormous because we’ve <\/p>\n

648
\n00:45:07,200 –> 00:45:11,500
\nattached that mind to that
\nthinking to go to bed. <\/p>\n

649
\n00:45:12,300 –> 00:45:17,000
\nWe get up next day we go to work
\nthe phone rings businesses on <\/p>\n

650
\n00:45:17,000 –> 00:45:21,100
\nagain the mundane things swirl
\naround us we go home have a cup <\/p>\n

651
\n00:45:21,100 –> 00:45:25,400
\nof coffee we go into the den we
\nsit down and it’s a foreign <\/p>\n

652
\n00:45:25,400 –> 00:45:30,100
\nlanguage.
\nWe got to sit there and work <\/p>\n

653
\n00:45:30,100 –> 00:45:34,500
\naway at that quietly not
\nimpatiently waiting and waiting <\/p>\n

654
\n00:45:34,500 –> 00:45:38,400
\nchecking out things gradually
\nsitting this out and that out <\/p>\n

655
\n00:45:38,400 –> 00:45:41,000
\nuntil we find that our mind is
\nlatching on the thoughts which <\/p>\n

656
\n00:45:41,000 –> 00:45:46,600
\nare not natural to us in a way
\nwe go again fact become the next<\/p>\n

657
\n00:45:46,600 –> 00:45:48,600
\nnight.
\nIt’s a foreign language. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:45:50,500 –> 00:45:54,300
\nAnd that’s brothers and sisters
\nthe rule of life and we are <\/p>\n

659
\n00:45:54,300 –> 00:45:57,900
\nlearning what Paul is telling us
\nwho knows the things of a man <\/p>\n

660
\n00:45:57,900 –> 00:45:59,900
\nsave the spirit of man, which is
\nin him. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:46:00,000 –> 00:46:01,900
\nHe relates to it ever so
\nquickly. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:46:02,700 –> 00:46:06,000
\nWell, there’s nobody ever going
\nto understand God’s words who <\/p>\n

663
\n00:46:06,000 –> 00:46:09,700
\nwill not give the time for God
\nto relate to them. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:46:12,100 –> 00:46:15,000
\nAny brother or sister Whose
\ndesire is to love God and to <\/p>\n

665
\n00:46:15,000 –> 00:46:18,600
\nknow him through his word will
\ngive that time. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:46:19,900 –> 00:46:24,200
\nAnd concentrate that attention
\nthat finally that book will <\/p>\n

667
\n00:46:24,200 –> 00:46:27,200
\nspeak to them.
\nYou know, it’s a wonderful thing<\/p>\n

668
\n00:46:27,200 –> 00:46:31,600
\nbrothers and sisters if we only
\ncomprehended that now says the <\/p>\n

669
\n00:46:31,600 –> 00:46:37,000
\nApostle in verse 13 concerning
\nthis wisdom, which things also <\/p>\n

\n00:46:37,000 –> 00:46:41,400
\nwe speak not in The Words, which
\nman’s Wisdom teacheth But which <\/p>\n

671
\n00:46:41,400 –> 00:46:47,200
\nthe Holy Spirit teacher?
\ncomparing spiritual things with <\/p>\n

672
\n00:46:47,200 –> 00:46:54,100
\nspiritual that is a key phrase.
\nYou know, we’ve quote that verse<\/p>\n

673
\n00:46:54,100 –> 00:46:56,500
\nand we say, oh that you know, we
\nstudy the Bible. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:46:56,500 –> 00:47:00,200
\nWe compare that verse with this
\nverse comparing spiritual things<\/p>\n

675
\n00:47:00,200 –> 00:47:01,900
\nwith spiritual.
\nThat’s not what he’s saying at <\/p>\n

676
\n00:47:01,900 –> 00:47:03,500
\nall.
\nIt’s a good practice, but it’s <\/p>\n

677
\n00:47:03,500 –> 00:47:08,700
\nnot really what Paul’s saying
\nwhat he’s saying is this Which <\/p>\n

678
\n00:47:08,700 –> 00:47:11,700
\nthings also we speak not in The
\nWords which man’s Wisdom <\/p>\n

679
\n00:47:11,700 –> 00:47:13,800
\nteacheth.
\nBut which the Holy Spirit <\/p>\n

680
\n00:47:13,800 –> 00:47:19,400
\nteacher teaching spiritual
\nthings to spiritual people. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:47:22,000 –> 00:47:26,700
\nYou can only teach spiritual
\nthings to spiritual people for <\/p>\n

682
\n00:47:26,700 –> 00:47:30,200
\nhe says the natural man
\nreceiveth not the things of God <\/p>\n

683
\n00:47:30,300 –> 00:47:32,000
\nand you take a witness president
\nSisters. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:47:32,800 –> 00:47:37,700
\nJesus comes in conflict with the
\nbrilliant Intelligentsia of the <\/p>\n

685
\n00:47:37,700 –> 00:47:39,900
\nJewish World My Parade up to
\nhim. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:47:41,600 –> 00:47:45,400
\nWe be Abraham’s children.
\nIf you were Abraham’s children, <\/p>\n

687
\n00:47:45,400 –> 00:47:48,600
\nyou do the works of Abraham.
\nWe’ve been up for an account of <\/p>\n

688
\n00:47:48,600 –> 00:47:51,300
\nborn of fornication.
\nWe’re Abraham’s sons. <\/p>\n

689
\n00:47:52,300 –> 00:47:54,300
\nIf you were Abraham’s sons you’d
\nbelieve me. <\/p>\n

690
\n00:47:55,500 –> 00:47:58,000
\nAnd so the conversation went
\nbackwards and forwards and they <\/p>\n

691
\n00:47:58,000 –> 00:48:01,000
\nwere on two different
\nwavelengths poles apart. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:48:02,000 –> 00:48:05,000
\nThey didn’t know what he was
\ntalking about. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:48:06,300 –> 00:48:09,800
\nAnd he said to them.
\nWhy do you not understand my <\/p>\n

694
\n00:48:09,800 –> 00:48:13,400
\nspeech?
\nand he went on to tell him <\/p>\n

695
\n00:48:14,400 –> 00:48:19,300
\nbecause you can’t it is
\nimpossible. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:48:20,500 –> 00:48:25,600
\nIt they were brilliant men.
\nHe says ye are of your father <\/p>\n

697
\n00:48:25,600 –> 00:48:28,700
\nthe devil anse and the lusts of
\nyour father. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:48:28,700 –> 00:48:31,900
\nYe will do he was a murderer
\nfrom the beginning. <\/p>\n

699
\n00:48:32,200 –> 00:48:38,500
\nHe Abode not in the truth
\nbecause there was no truth in <\/p>\n

700
\n00:48:38,500 –> 00:48:41,600
\nhim.
\nSee the explanation brother and <\/p>\n

701
\n00:48:41,600 –> 00:48:45,300
\nsisters.
\nHe Abode not in the truth. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:48:45,900 –> 00:48:49,700
\nThe reason there was never any
\ntruth to abide in. <\/p>\n

703
\n00:48:51,000 –> 00:48:52,900
\nAnd he was talking about a
\nsnake. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:48:54,600 –> 00:48:58,600
\nAnd that was the father of those
\nmen and that snake at ground <\/p>\n

705
\n00:48:58,600 –> 00:49:01,900
\nlevel was reasoning according to
\nhis animal intellect. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:49:03,500 –> 00:49:06,800
\nGod said if they touch that tree
\nthey would sin against God. <\/p>\n

707
\n00:49:06,900 –> 00:49:09,300
\nHe didn’t know anything about
\nSin. <\/p>\n

708
\n00:49:11,200 –> 00:49:14,300
\nAnd all he could see was if they
\ndid that and then they did that <\/p>\n

709
\n00:49:14,300 –> 00:49:18,400
\nit would cancel out that so what
\nGod Said really didn’t work out <\/p>\n

710
\n00:49:18,400 –> 00:49:23,700
\naccording to his logic.
\nBut sin and morality ha it was <\/p>\n

711
\n00:49:23,700 –> 00:49:27,800
\nway over his head.
\nIt is the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n

712
\n00:49:27,800 –> 00:49:31,700
\ntalking to a bunch of animals
\nreason. <\/p>\n

713
\n00:49:31,700 –> 00:49:35,300
\nI know why you can’t understand
\nme visit I’m speaking as a man <\/p>\n

714
\n00:49:35,300 –> 00:49:38,400
\nwho understands God and you’re
\nat the level of a snake. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:49:39,800 –> 00:49:42,100
\nAnd there’s no way that they
\ncould understanding. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:49:43,700 –> 00:49:47,400
\nThey couldn’t abide in the truth
\nbecause I never ever knew it. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:49:49,400 –> 00:49:55,100
\nAnd so the Apostle says I can
\nonly speak spiritual things. to <\/p>\n

718
\n00:49:55,100 –> 00:50:02,800
\nspiritual people And I am not
\nthe intelligence hear of this <\/p>\n

719
\n00:50:02,800 –> 00:50:06,400
\nworld.
\nThe natural thing man. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:50:06,400 –> 00:50:09,300
\nHe says in verse 14 receives not
\nthe things of God. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:50:10,500 –> 00:50:14,000
\nFor they are foolishness unto
\nhim neither can he know them <\/p>\n

722
\n00:50:14,000 –> 00:50:15,800
\nbecause they are spiritually
\ndiscerned. <\/p>\n

723
\n00:50:17,400 –> 00:50:20,300
\nBut he that is spiritual
\ndeserves all things. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:50:21,600 –> 00:50:23,800
\nYet he himself is discerned of
\nno man. <\/p>\n

725
\n00:50:24,500 –> 00:50:26,100
\nIsn’t that true brothers and
\nsisters? <\/p>\n

726
\n00:50:28,100 –> 00:50:30,800
\nWe who are spiritual and we
\nclaim to be spiritual do we not <\/p>\n

727
\n00:50:30,800 –> 00:50:32,700
\nwe’re here this morning to
\npartake of the emblems of we’re <\/p>\n

728
\n00:50:32,700 –> 00:50:35,900
\nnot spiritual.
\nWhat’s a good at doing that and <\/p>\n

729
\n00:50:35,900 –> 00:50:39,200
\nif we claim to be spiritual we
\nknow this that we deserve the <\/p>\n

730
\n00:50:39,200 –> 00:50:41,500
\nthings of God, but the people
\nout the world don’t understand <\/p>\n

731
\n00:50:41,500 –> 00:50:43,300
\nis that we taught the truth to a
\nperson at work later. <\/p>\n

732
\n00:50:43,300 –> 00:50:48,600
\nCan you man We know he’s an
\nother worlds in the messages in <\/p>\n

733
\n00:50:49,200 –> 00:50:52,000
\nwe understand what’s in mean.
\nWe understand our workmates, but<\/p>\n

734
\n00:50:52,000 –> 00:50:55,200
\nthey don’t understand us.
\nWe look at them. <\/p>\n

735
\n00:50:55,200 –> 00:50:59,100
\nWe can understand perfectly why
\nthey act like they do we make a <\/p>\n

736
\n00:50:59,100 –> 00:51:00,700
\nstudy.
\nIt was a years you’re acting <\/p>\n

737
\n00:51:00,700 –> 00:51:03,000
\ncharacteristically.
\nGod has told us what your life <\/p>\n

738
\n00:51:03,000 –> 00:51:05,500
\nand you do exactly what God
\nsays, but they haven’t got a <\/p>\n

739
\n00:51:05,500 –> 00:51:09,200
\nclue as to what you do.
\nThey can’t understand and you in<\/p>\n

740
\n00:51:09,200 –> 00:51:12,600
\nany way shape or form they look
\nupon you and they say that kept <\/p>\n

741
\n00:51:12,600 –> 00:51:15,400
\nan enigma.
\nI can’t understand his way of <\/p>\n

742
\n00:51:15,400 –> 00:51:18,800
\nlife and we look back at them.
\nWe say, you know exactly what <\/p>\n

743
\n00:51:18,800 –> 00:51:22,400
\nyou were doing.
\nWhy do we know that because <\/p>\n

744
\n00:51:22,400 –> 00:51:25,900
\nGod’s told us about that man.
\nHe’s told us about ourselves. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:51:26,400 –> 00:51:29,600
\nHe’s whispered an area that is
\nnot in man that walketh to <\/p>\n

746
\n00:51:29,608 –> 00:51:32,400
\ndirect his steps.
\nWe’ve understood that. <\/p>\n

747
\n00:51:33,600 –> 00:51:36,900
\nWe didn’t have to be Einstein to
\nknow that God told us. <\/p>\n

748
\n00:51:38,600 –> 00:51:40,600
\nFor who hath known the mind of
\nthe Lord? <\/p>\n

749
\n00:51:41,700 –> 00:51:45,600
\nBut he may instruct him.
\nBut we have the mind of Christ. <\/p>\n

750
\n00:51:48,000 –> 00:51:50,300
\nYou know brother and sister
\nthat’s a wonderful finale to <\/p>\n

751
\n00:51:50,308 –> 00:51:54,600
\nthat chapter.
\nBecause he quotes Isaiah 40. <\/p>\n

752
\n00:51:56,800 –> 00:51:59,900
\nWe won’t turn this up, but I’ll
\nillustrate it to you. <\/p>\n

753
\n00:52:01,400 –> 00:52:05,000
\nIsaiah 40 says who hath known
\nthe mind of the law. <\/p>\n

754
\n00:52:06,200 –> 00:52:09,200
\nOr who has been his counselor.
\nThat’s the quotation that the <\/p>\n

755
\n00:52:09,200 –> 00:52:11,800
\nPaul brings forward.
\nWell who has known the mind of <\/p>\n

756
\n00:52:11,808 –> 00:52:14,600
\nthe Lord?
\nNot natural man. <\/p>\n

757
\n00:52:14,600 –> 00:52:18,300
\nHe’s completely missed it with
\nall his university education. <\/p>\n

758
\n00:52:19,100 –> 00:52:22,000
\nIt’s only a hindrance to him who
\nhas known the mind of the Lord. <\/p>\n

759
\n00:52:22,000 –> 00:52:23,800
\nWill Paul says we have the mind
\nof Christ. <\/p>\n

760
\n00:52:25,100 –> 00:52:28,100
\nThere’s a new the mind of the
\nLord the Apostle did because <\/p>\n

761
\n00:52:28,100 –> 00:52:31,900
\nChrist did and we’ve got Christ
\nmind we got God’s mind. <\/p>\n

762
\n00:52:33,500 –> 00:52:36,400
\nThat’s what he’s saying.
\nBut the Wonder of his quotation <\/p>\n

763
\n00:52:36,400 –> 00:52:39,600
\nbrothers and sisters is this
\neven your leisure you look at <\/p>\n

764
\n00:52:39,600 –> 00:52:42,600
\nIsaiah 40, you will still say
\nthat is dealing with a balance. <\/p>\n

765
\n00:52:43,900 –> 00:52:47,100
\nThe chapter sweeps on to talk
\nabout God who has made the <\/p>\n

766
\n00:52:47,100 –> 00:52:49,600
\nheight of the mountains
\ncomparable to the depths of the <\/p>\n

767
\n00:52:49,600 –> 00:52:51,900
\nocean.
\nSo there’s a balance of the <\/p>\n

768
\n00:52:51,900 –> 00:52:54,700
\nbasin’s of the ocean contained
\nthat water sufficiently to leave<\/p>\n

769
\n00:52:54,700 –> 00:52:57,500
\nthe dry land air and is a
\nwonderful balance so that Land <\/p>\n

770
\n00:52:57,500 –> 00:53:00,700
\nand Sea together combining
\ntogether man can live on the <\/p>\n

771
\n00:53:00,700 –> 00:53:04,200
\nland and the oceans can wash the
\nland as the sun picks up the <\/p>\n

772
\n00:53:04,200 –> 00:53:07,400
\nwater pumps it back through the
\nEarth in the form of rain runs <\/p>\n

773
\n00:53:07,400 –> 00:53:10,200
\ndown the rivers picking up all
\nthe pollutions under the beaches<\/p>\n

774
\n00:53:10,200 –> 00:53:13,600
\nin comes the tides picks up.
\nThe pollution takes out the sea.<\/p>\n

775
\n00:53:13,800 –> 00:53:17,100
\nThey Sun causes the go streams
\nwhich intertwined one another as<\/p>\n

776
\n00:53:17,100 –> 00:53:20,600
\nwater slides out of hot water
\nand turns it all up and cleans <\/p>\n

777
\n00:53:20,600 –> 00:53:23,300
\nit pick some water up again with
\nthe Sun Pumps it back to the <\/p>\n

778
\n00:53:23,300 –> 00:53:24,900
\nEarth and down.
\nIt runs to the Sea again. <\/p>\n

779
\n00:53:25,000 –> 00:53:26,900
\nSo the height of the mountains
\nand the depth of the sea a <\/p>\n

780
\n00:53:26,900 –> 00:53:30,100
\ncomprable a wonderful balance
\nthat man might live upon the <\/p>\n

781
\n00:53:30,100 –> 00:53:32,500
\nEarth.
\nHe talks about the density of <\/p>\n

782
\n00:53:32,508 –> 00:53:35,500
\nthe atmosphere the certain
\ngaseous elements in the <\/p>\n

783
\n00:53:35,500 –> 00:53:37,500
\natmosphere.
\nSo one of the combined that we <\/p>\n

784
\n00:53:37,500 –> 00:53:40,900
\ncan breathe and live if there
\nwas an imbalance in those <\/p>\n

785
\n00:53:40,900 –> 00:53:42,500
\nthings, we would perish
\nimmediately. <\/p>\n

786
\n00:53:43,100 –> 00:53:45,500
\nSo the world is going to mail
\nthis balance in it. <\/p>\n

787
\n00:53:46,300 –> 00:53:49,400
\nAnd the mind of God is balance
\nbrothers and sisters putting one<\/p>\n

788
\n00:53:49,400 –> 00:53:52,000
\nthing against another that we
\nunderstand therefore all the <\/p>\n

789
\n00:53:52,000 –> 00:53:56,300
\nwonders of God’s ways.
\nAnd only simple people could see<\/p>\n

790
\n00:53:56,300 –> 00:53:59,800
\nthat.
\nSolomon was a scientist. <\/p>\n

791
\n00:54:01,100 –> 00:54:02,900
\nAnd he thought that all the
\nrivers run into the sea and the <\/p>\n

792
\n00:54:02,900 –> 00:54:06,100
\nSea of not fall and he got
\nabsolutely frustrated because he<\/p>\n

793
\n00:54:06,108 –> 00:54:10,800
\ncouldn’t understand why who has
\nknown the mind of the lord. <\/p>\n

794
\n00:54:11,500 –> 00:54:14,200
\nIt’s a simple man that accepts
\nthe simple facts of nature <\/p>\n

795
\n00:54:15,200 –> 00:54:19,300
\nscience delves into it and this
\ne will Pursuit God had given to <\/p>\n

796
\n00:54:19,300 –> 00:54:23,800
\nthe hearts of the sons of men to
\nfrustrate them. for the simple <\/p>\n

797
\n00:54:23,800 –> 00:54:29,300
\naccepted And then I pull quotes
\nthat chapter in Romans 11. <\/p>\n

798
\n00:54:31,300 –> 00:54:35,000
\nThe Jew was up here with the
\nPrivileges of God and the <\/p>\n

799
\n00:54:35,000 –> 00:54:40,100
\nGentile grovel down here into
\nthe boys story of mankind and <\/p>\n

800
\n00:54:40,100 –> 00:54:42,300
\nthere was an imbalance between
\nthe two and I never could come <\/p>\n

801
\n00:54:42,300 –> 00:54:46,500
\ntogether until God plunged the
\nJew into the abyss of misery <\/p>\n

802
\n00:54:47,100 –> 00:54:50,600
\ncinnamon of captivity preach the
\ngospel to the Gentiles that <\/p>\n

803
\n00:54:50,800 –> 00:54:53,300
\nelevated him up here in the
