1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,320 Okay, and then it says parents are to demonstrate to their children God's pattern for marriage. 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,840 So that means man and woman should be married and they should stay married as they parent their children. 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,800 Ideally, that is the way God wants it to be. 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:19,200 And then parents are to teach their children spiritual moral values and to lead them through consistent lifestyle examples. 5 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:28,480 That means as parents, you have a responsibility to show your children how to love God, how to serve God, 6 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,800 how to follow God's design. 7 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,800 I'll put my finger right there. Do you have a question? 8 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,800 There's no audio. 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,800 Here. 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,800 Okay, go push the button. 11 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,800 I'll go left hand side. 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,000 On the HM Mini Pro, that one. 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000 Right there. On. Got it? 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000 Okay. 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000 Just come on. 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000 Here, now. 17 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000 I'll check on it in a minute. 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,280 And so then it says that we should lead them to make choices based on biblical truth. 19 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,760 An example of that is the Baptist Faith and Message. 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,760 People long before us examined scripture and asked the question, okay, how does this line up? 21 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,760 What do we know about this? 22 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,080 The beauty of it is they didn't just say this is what it says, and there's been a lot of that in the church's history. 23 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,080 It's not such a good thing. 24 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,560 You just say this is what it says without showing you where it says it at, 25 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,560 but the Baptist Faith and Message instead shows you exactly where it says it because you know. 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,600 A big long list, a whole paragraph of verses that speak of that. 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:32,800 So one of the coolest things about the Baptist Faith and Message is you could literally spend years studying it and learning on these various topics, 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,200 and it will give you everything you need to know from the scripture. 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,200 Not from the paragraph, but from the scripture. 30 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,000 It will give you everything you need to know on that particular topic. 31 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:42,800 Okay? 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,080 And then it says, the last part is, listen up. 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,080 Are you listening? Are you ready? 34 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,680 Children are to honor and obey their parents. 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,480 And so to honor someone is different than to obey them. 36 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,480 To obey them is to do what they say. 37 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,280 They tell you what to do, and you do it. That's to obey. 38 00:01:59,280 --> 00:01:59,840 Okay? 39 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:07,360 To honor them is to do what would be best for them or what they would want you to do, even if they're not there to tell you. 40 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,080 Okay? 41 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,720 So this is God's design for the family, and there's much, much more in the Baptist Faith and Message. 42 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,720 I want to point that out to you. 43 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,120 Probably the one that speaks most to us is that, as adults, is that part where it says from the conception of a child. 44 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,640 That we have a responsibility. 45 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:26,960 And the one that speaks most to the kids is that we're to honor and obey our parents. 46 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,040 So praise God, we have people with God before us who broke those things down. 47 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,480 But the truth is, we have the most important thing, which is the Holy Bible. 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,920 To teach us how to live and how to be the best people we possibly can be. 49 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:41,200 And you couldn't be as good as you can be without Christ. 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,400 Christ is the one who makes us. Jesus is the one who makes us able to choose. 51 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,400 He makes us free. He sets us free. 52 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,280 So we're going to pray together, and then we'll have one more song. 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,240 And then we'll introduce the kids and the church to the last prayer. 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,000 Let's pray. 55 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,600 Father in heaven, I recognize you as the perfect Father. 56 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,400 A just and righteous God. 57 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,400 I also recognize you as a gracious and merciful Father. 58 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,200 And the truth is, I had a pretty good dad. 59 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,760 Provided a roof over my head, took care of me and helped and all that kind of thing. 60 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,880 But in all the times that I lived with my dad as I was growing up, he never taught me about use. 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,400 Never taught me about Scripture, even though I know he knew. 62 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,280 Because when he was a young man, he accepted Christ. 63 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,640 And then when he got to be a teenager, he kind of walked away from you. 64 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:33,680 And in the years that he was raising me, it wasn't about you. 65 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,600 And then he did come back to you a long time after you saved my soul. 66 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,400 And so I'm grateful for my dad. I know he was a gift to me. 67 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,440 And I know that sometimes we don't always get the parent that we exactly want. 68 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,760 Because a lot of parents make a lot of mistakes. 69 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,880 And I'm one of those. I've made a lot of mistakes. 70 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,600 But the most important thing is to look to you that you could lead us, that you could guide us. 71 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,200 To accept Jesus Christ as Lord. That means he told us what to do when we do it. 72 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,080 And as Savior, which means we paid the price for our sins. 73 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,800 And then to follow him the best we know how on any given day. 74 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,880 That's basically what it means. 75 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,200 And so we just thank you Lord that that's possible. 76 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,840 But there's still people who care. 77 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,080 Still people who are willing to share that truth with us. 78 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:20,000 Still people who are serving and working with God to deliver the truth about Jesus. 79 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,520 And we pray that it will be like that. 80 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,080 That there's somebody in this room who doesn't know Jesus. 81 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,160 We pray that they will not leave the church building today without telling somebody, 82 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,680 I want to live for Jesus. 83 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,040 I want to be what Jesus wants me to be. 84 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,880 And we pray Lord that you'll bless the remainder of our time together. 85 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,960 Both worshiping and studying. 86 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,600 That we can learn and we can grow and reach new heights in Jesus. 87 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,680 And we pray all this in Jesus' name. 88 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Amen. 89 00:04:44,400 --> 00:05:14,320 Thank you very much. 90 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:22,080 The stars and sea, oh it's green and green. 91 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:30,880 Now the child of God, yes I am. 92 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:39,360 Nothing in the last thing that's left of me is really still alive. 93 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:46,320 Nothing in the last thing that's left of me is really still alive. 94 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,640 Nothing in the last thing that's left of me is really still alive. 95 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:58,400 The stars and sea, oh it's green and green. 96 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:11,920 Now the child of God, yes I am. 97 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,920 All righty, at this time we'll release the children of Andrew. 98 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:31,920 The children of Andrew, the children of Andrew. 99 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:47,920 The children of Andrew, the children of Andrew. 100 00:06:47,920 --> 00:07:01,920 The mess you've made, they're not leaves, but anywhere you are. 101 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,920 Something to follow away, that's freedom from your scars. 102 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:17,920 The passion you've made, forgive us, the memories you raised. 103 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:31,920 Baby, that's the beauty of grace. 104 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:41,920 Tell me what is left, I'll never hold you to me. 105 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,920 The things you made that hurt, you saved me, what do I? 106 00:07:47,920 --> 00:08:01,920 You're my arms, there's no space. 107 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:17,920 Something to follow away, that's freedom from your scars. 108 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:33,920 The broken sky, the broken sky, the broken thing you have. 109 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:47,920 All righty. 110 00:08:47,920 --> 00:09:15,920 All right, so last week we started piling our way through the books of the Bible. 111 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,920 We talked a little bit about the books themselves and we made it through the Old Testament. 112 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,920 And so today, as you can see, we are looking at the New Testament. 113 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,920 All right, so a lot of this is overview and it's just kind of like helping you to know what's there. 114 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,920 And for some of you who have been studying your Bibles for years, I can't always say that, but studying your Bible for years, 115 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,920 it's going to seem like old hat, you're going to rattle it off, it's going to be no problem. 116 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:47,920 But realize that we all have a varying level of knowledge, varying level of information, and so we're going to work through it. 117 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,920 And then also last week, I told you that I am trying to work through the candy that I have stored. 118 00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:00,920 And so I was tossing candy, ooh, don't put it on there, it's alive, it's alive. 119 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,920 Anyway, so I was tossing candy to adults and young people alike. 120 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:13,920 And so I will do that. If you don't want candy, after you answer a question, just go like that and I won't toss it to you. 121 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,920 Or you can always collect it and give it away. 122 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,920 You can toss hamburgers. 123 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,920 I don't have any hamburgers. Also, I think the mess that we would have to clean up afterwards would be atrocious. 124 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,920 What's acceptable? Bratwurst. 125 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,920 Bratwurst, okay. We'd have to put them in baggies. That's the only way we could actually do that. 126 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,920 All right, so here we go. We are starting at the top center box. 127 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,920 So as you can see, there are five boxes. 128 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:49,920 And the five box, there's more than five, but the five main boxes in the middle there kind of scattered around are the sections of the New Testament. 129 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,920 So last week we did the sections of the Old Testament, now we're talking about the sections. 130 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:59,920 And that does not mean like, for example, the books that come close together or the books that are stuck together like that. 131 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:08,920 But their example might be a type, think of it like a type of book if you want to look at it that way. 132 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,920 So we'll do the first one and then you'll see what I mean. Does anybody know what the B stands for? 133 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,920 Take a stab at it. I bet you can name the books. 134 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,920 Say it again. No, but that's a good word. 135 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:27,920 Nope. So this is a section, a kind of books that are in the New Testament. 136 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,920 Nope, not before Christ. Nope. 137 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,920 Okay, so the word is biography. 138 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:43,920 Okay, and then you can tell me what the four books are under it right away. They are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. 139 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,920 That's right. Okay, so it's biography and it's Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. 140 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:54,920 Okay, all right. So the first four books are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. 141 00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:01,920 Okay, and some of those are disciples of Jesus who were alive with him during his day and some are not. 142 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,920 Can anybody tell me which are which? 143 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,920 Luke is not. That's correct. Good job, Josh. 144 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,920 Luke was not, he was alive, but he did not know Jesus. He did not travel with Jesus. 145 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:20,920 The other three were not actually. One more. Mark. That's correct. Mark was not. 146 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,920 Okay, so Mark and Luke were not. 147 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,920 If we know who he was, we'll get that. 148 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,920 Yeah, so okay. There is talk. You're right about that. 149 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:39,920 So he was not named. How about that? Okay, and so it's Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. 150 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,920 Okay, so now this latter part here tells what they're about. 151 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,920 Does anybody want to take a stab at starting with the D? 152 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,920 No. So Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. 153 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,920 David, I think, might be named in one of like Jesus is speaking or whatever like that, 154 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,920 otherwise he doesn't appear because these are all after Jesus's birth, right? 155 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:03,920 So this is all New Testament stuff. After Jesus was born, as he grew up, 156 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,920 and very little about when he grew up, and then as an adult in his public ministry, 157 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,920 all the things that happened. 158 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,920 Nope. That is not a plus, by the way. That's a T. That's my bad. 159 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,920 I made it kind of look like a plus. 160 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,920 Yeah, suspiciously like a plus. But it's a T. 161 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,920 So if it's a T and it's a short word, it's probably the, right? 162 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,920 Okay, so we've got the. So a word starts with a D, then the, and then a... 163 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,920 Describe the life of Jesus. 164 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,920 Okay. Okay, he's got it all the way through Jesus. 165 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:42,920 Okay, describes or details, either one, the life of Jesus. 166 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:43,920 Say it again. 167 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,920 Different perspectives. 168 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,920 Perfect. Well done to both of you. That is exactly right. 169 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:54,920 So these books describe the life of Jesus in different perspectives. 170 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,920 Okay, why does that matter that they're in different perspectives? 171 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,920 Share everything that might be. Adds credibility. 172 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,920 Okay, it definitely adds credibility. That's true. Why else? 173 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:13,920 It may help people understand this thing. 174 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Like multiple people are seeing the same thing in different ways. 175 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:24,920 And the way that they describe it and account it may help different people understand it. 176 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,920 Good, exactly. So the writers who are different, sort of different perspective. 177 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,920 Let me give you one example. Matthew was a Jew. 178 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:39,920 Okay, he comes out of a Jewish background and they even think that he may have written parts of the book of Matthew in Hebrew, 179 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,920 which was their original language, right? Or Aramaic or both. 180 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,920 And so he was writing to people who come out of a Jewish background. 181 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,920 And so when they read that, they very well might get the gospel. 182 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,920 Whereas if they read, like Luke, for example, who is essentially a Greek doctor. 183 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,920 I mean, I don't think he was actually Greek, but he was a doctor schooled that way. 184 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,920 They're not going to get it the same as they would get it from Matthew, who's one of them. 185 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,920 Right? So that's good. That's very good. 186 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,920 Also, if you find something that looks like a contradiction and you drill down on it, 187 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,920 what you will find is that they are both right except for perspective. 188 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,920 So there's one particular time, for example, where it tells the story that the disciple, 189 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,920 Jesus and the disciples were coming out of a town and they ran into a man who was sitting on the side of the road. 190 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:30,920 The other disciple says they were going into town and are coming out of a different town. 191 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,920 Let me get this right. Yeah, coming out of a different town. 192 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,920 And they ran into the guy on the road. 193 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,920 And so we can nail down where that encounter happened within 90 feet. 194 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,920 Because there was a place where you would be considered coming out of this town. 195 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,920 And there was a place to be considered coming out of this town. 196 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,920 And it's within 90 feet. 197 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,920 So they can nail down where he healed that guy within 90 feet on the road. 198 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,920 That's powerful to be able to do that after thousands of years. 199 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,920 It's unheard of, right? 200 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920 We don't know where most major events in history happened down to feet. 201 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,920 We know states. We know towns. We know miles maybe. 202 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,920 But rarely ever that nailed down. 203 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,920 So there's some really good detail that you can get that way too. 204 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,920 All right. So in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, 205 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,920 these books detail or describe the life of Jesus from different perspectives. 206 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,920 Okay. So we're going to go to the left. 207 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,920 Down to the left. 208 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,920 We're going to stop by that little diagonal thing there where it says NHFBC. 209 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,920 You all know what that stands for, right? 210 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,920 New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church, right? 211 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,920 Okay. Key verse. 212 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,920 And it says 1. And then there's a blank. 213 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,920 1-3. And it is John. So you put John in there. 214 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,920 Our key verse is 1 John 1-3. 215 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,920 Okay. And it is of course located in the New Testament 216 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:59,920 in the letter written by John in the first chapter in verse 3. 217 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:04,920 Okay. So then right under that you should have a big box that has an H. 218 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,920 No. Remember these are sections, types of books. 219 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,920 We're looking for a type of book. 220 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,920 And I'll tell you that... 221 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,920 Nope. History. History is correct. 222 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,920 Okay. So the type of book is history. 223 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,920 And there's actually only one. 224 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,920 So of the books of the New Testament, there is one book that is a book of history and it is? 225 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,920 Acts. That is correct. 226 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,920 You have Caleb, a small candy bar. 227 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,920 Just a little over your head there, bud. Sorry. 228 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,920 Thanks, Trina, for the help. 229 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,920 Okay. So history, the book of Acts. 230 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,920 Okay. So everything else that's in this box is about the book of Acts. 231 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,920 Starting with a T. Anyone want to take a stab at it? 232 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,920 Tells about the feats of the church. 233 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,920 Pretty good. So it tells about the... 234 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,920 Not the feats, but the... 235 00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,920 What happens to the church in the book of Acts? 236 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,920 Tales? 237 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,920 It starts with an F. 238 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,920 The forming or formation. 239 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,920 Be okay to. Forming or formation. 240 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:20,920 So there is a particular event. 241 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,920 That is supposed to go to Holly. 242 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,920 So, we'll help, we'll help. 243 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:33,920 So Acts tells about the forming, formation, the facts of the church. 244 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,920 And then now this is going to say something more about the book, a different point. 245 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,920 You want to take a stab at it? WBL. 246 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,920 Bible scholars know this, whether they know the letters or not. 247 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,920 Wisdom? 248 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,920 Nope. 249 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,920 Wait for... Lamentations? 250 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,920 Actually, it's way after Lamentations. 251 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,920 Although there will be plenty of Lamentations after Jesus comes back again. 252 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,920 Because there will be all those people lamenting that they didn't listen. 253 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,920 So if you got a capital L about the book of Acts, you would expect it to be... 254 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,920 Nope. 255 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,920 Word? 256 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,920 Nope. 257 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:15,920 While? 258 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:16,920 While being? 259 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,920 Nope. 260 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,920 Who wrote it? 261 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,920 Luke. 262 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:22,920 That's the man. 263 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:30,920 So the L is Luke and the rest of it is written by Luke. 264 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,920 Good job, sir. Coming in. 265 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:35,920 Yes, you were. 266 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,920 Well, somebody had Lamentations in there, so... 267 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:40,920 Written by Luke. 268 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:41,920 Okay. 269 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,920 We got one more thing here. 270 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,920 This one's tricky. 271 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:50,920 You might not get it without a little help. 272 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,920 Nope. 273 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,920 Okay. 274 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,920 So the book is in two sections. 275 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,920 So the next two words are two sections. 276 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,920 And most people don't actually realize that. 277 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,920 But once I tell you what the two sections are, then you'll go, oh yeah, that kind of makes sense. 278 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,920 If you know the book of Acts a little bit. 279 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,920 Okay, so it's in two sections. 280 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,920 The T is two, T-W-O, and the S is sections, S-E-C-T-I-O-N-S. 281 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:17,920 And so the remainder tells us what the two sections are. 282 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,920 No, but Pentecost actually does not divide the book. 283 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:27,920 It's very much at the beginning. It's in chapter two. 284 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,920 There are two significant players. 285 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:31,920 Paul or Peter? 286 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,920 That's right. 287 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,920 So it's actually Peter and Paul. 288 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,920 The first 12-ish chapters are Peter. 289 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,920 And after that, it follows Paul the whole time. 290 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,920 So, and what was Peter doing that was so significant? 291 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,920 Why did the book of Acts follow Peter for 12 chapters? 292 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,920 Because he was doing what? 293 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,920 Leading the church. 294 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:54,920 Leading the church. That's right. 295 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,920 He was the leader of the church. 296 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,920 And then it follows Paul from that point on because Paul was doing what? 297 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,920 What did Paul do for the whole rest of the book of Acts? 298 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:04,920 Say it again. 299 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,920 Teaching in the church. 300 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,920 I mean, that's kind of true, but can you give me just a little bit more detail? 301 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,920 Preaching the gospel. 302 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,920 Yeah, preaching the gospel. 303 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,920 So he was taking it out into the world, right? 304 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,920 And there was a... 305 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,920 I should have warmed up. 306 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:25,920 Okay. 307 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,920 Anyway, there was an event that takes place where Paul gets saved, right? 308 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,920 And then there's some like a little gap there where he's still kind of getting ready. 309 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,920 God's getting him going and they're trying to kill him off before he ever gets started. 310 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,920 And then from that point on, it follows him as he takes the gospel to everywhere. 311 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,920 And they call it the missionary journeys of Paul. 312 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,920 So he's taking the gospel to everywhere. 313 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:53,920 So the reason I gave you kind of give you the idea of leading the church is because Peter still maybe continued to lead the church in Jerusalem. 314 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,920 There's a question about when he stopped doing that. 315 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,920 But the church began to be everywhere, right? 316 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,920 Paul planted in Corinth, he planted in Ephesus, he planted all over the place, right? 317 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,920 And Pentecost, they spread out from there. 318 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:14,920 They went all over what's called the diaspora, all back up to all the Jewish society, all over the place with people from all different backgrounds and stuff. 319 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:21,920 And they took back the gospel and they told people about how the Holy Spirit had come on that day and all those kinds of things that happened. 320 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:29,920 So the events of Christianity that sparked the church were not done in a corner and they were not done in a closet or out in the back alley. 321 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,920 They were done in front of the world. 322 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,920 They were done at a time where people were coming from all over the known world to Jerusalem. 323 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:45,920 So when Jesus is crucified, there were people probably representing every major city. 324 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:53,920 Maybe not some like in deep Egypt or places like that, but every major city around the Mediterranean, right? 325 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,920 That were there to know that Jesus was crucified. 326 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,920 The rumor had begun to circulate that he was alive and some of them actually did know that he was alive. 327 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,920 And then they took the truth of that back to everywhere. 328 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,920 And some of them were still there at the time of Pentecost and then they took the truth of that back to everywhere. 329 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,920 It definitely was not done quietly. 330 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:28,920 So the remaining two groups, three groups, we're going to skip the biggest and go to the box on the right that starts with a P. 331 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,920 Because this one we should know a little bit already. 332 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,920 So there's a box on the right that's labeled with a P and it is a kind of book. 333 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,920 And it is, no Peter is not a kind of book. Prophecy. 334 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,920 It is prophecy. Was that what you were going to say Caleb? 335 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,920 No, okay. Honest man. I like honest men. Okay. Prophecy. 336 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,920 Prophecy is a kind of book. We saw that in the Old Testament, right? 337 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,920 We broke it down between the major and the minor prophets. 338 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,920 The prophecy is a person who speaks on behalf of God and they often tell the future or, 339 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:06,920 and this is really important in this case, they tell what is happening in the spiritual realm that we can't necessarily see. 340 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:15,920 So God was revealing something to the author and the author was revealing the truth of what was already going on elsewhere and what will eventually go on. 341 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,920 And this book is called? Revelation is correct. No, Revelation is correct. 342 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,920 Ruth is Old Testament. We had her last week. 343 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,920 That's a very confusing book. 344 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,920 It's very confusing. What is it? Revelation? Yeah. 345 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,920 Actually it's not as confusing as people tend to make it out. 346 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:38,920 We did a study on it on Tuesday nights back when you were having youth group on Tuesday nights opposite us so you missed it. 347 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:45,920 But we went through it chapter by chapter by chapter and it makes a heck of a lot more sense when you do it that way. 348 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:52,920 When people try to take pieces out and look at it, it really doesn't fit together and it's hard to understand but we did pretty good with it. 349 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,920 I have that study if you want to do it or if you wanted to do it with the youth. 350 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:03,920 Although I would say, I would warn that it is tough subject matter nonetheless. 351 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:11,920 Even though it's not complicated once you do it that way, it's still difficult to think about what's going on elsewhere and what's going to go on. 352 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,920 And by the way, the book name was what again? Somebody say it. 353 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,920 Revelation. Reve-ley-shun. 354 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,920 Not revelations. There is no S. 355 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:26,920 People will name the books of the Bible and they say revelations. It's not revelations, it's revelations. There is no S. 356 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,920 You can check your own Bible and believe me it's true. There is no S. 357 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,920 Why is it called Revelation? 358 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:39,920 Because it is a revelation to John and then John to us. 359 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,920 We will see his name here coming. 360 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,920 Describe it. It is A and the word there is A. 361 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,920 What? A vision of John. That is exactly right. 362 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:59,920 Tough competition when the adults are getting candy too. 363 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,920 Also I'm going to be chasing people out of the front. They're not going to sit in the front. 364 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,920 Maybe they will. Maybe they'd rather be able to catch it. 365 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,920 Okay, so it's a vision of John, but that doesn't finish it. The sentence continues or phrase continues. 366 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:16,920 It's a vision of John of? Not which? Say it again. 367 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:22,920 Google it again. That's in there, but much more is in there than that. You're right, that is in there. 368 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,920 It does, yep. 369 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,920 Nope. 370 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:40,920 I mean again, that's in there, but the whole book is a vision of what's going on in heaven and what's to come. 371 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:47,920 Remember he sees the vision of the angels surrounding the throne of God singing, Holy, Holy, Holy. 372 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,920 That's not really a vision of God's wrath. It's not a vision of anything that was going on at the earth at that time. 373 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,920 Or anything that was going to go on at the earth later even. 374 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:04,920 But they do stop singing eventually and they stop singing when the lamb comes forth to open the seal and wrath of God does come. 375 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,920 So it's different pieces and there's some letters in there that are written to the churches warning Leiaz. 376 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,920 For example, about being lukewarm and like that. 377 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:18,920 So it's more than the book is about quite a few different things about what's going on in heaven and what's to come. 378 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:26,920 So God was making that known to him and then he in turn made it known to the churches and they kept it and we get it. 379 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,920 It is designed to speak directly to us and we'll come back to that idea in a moment. 380 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,920 So let's go from there. We're going to go left to the middle. 381 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,920 I can't put the arrows on here but we're figuring it out. 382 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,920 LBP. 383 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,920 Letters by Paul. 384 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,920 That is right. Letters by Paul. 385 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,920 Are we citing? 386 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,920 No. 387 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:48,920 Oh, that's what it is. 388 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,920 So these are going to be the books that are under letters by Paul. 389 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,920 So it's Romans is the first one. 390 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,920 Caleb, what's the next two? 391 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,920 After Romans. 392 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,920 Five seconds. 393 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,920 Four. 394 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,920 Say it again. 395 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,920 Corinthians. 396 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,920 That's right. First and second Corinthians. Nailed it. 397 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,920 Kishon, what's after that? 398 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,920 Starts with a G. 399 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,920 No, man. We're in the New Testament. 400 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,920 Galatians. 401 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:12,920 No. 402 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,920 Somebody stole it from him. We said it. 403 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,920 I'm so sorry, Caleb. That was a terrible throw. 404 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,920 That was an awesome throw. 405 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,920 That was a good throw. It hit right there in the shoulder. 406 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,920 Okay. So it's Romans first and second Corinthians. Galatians. 407 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,920 Ephesians. 408 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:31,920 Philippians. 409 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,920 Colossians. 410 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,920 Be careful. First and second Thessalonians. 411 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,920 First and second Timothy. 412 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,920 And Philemon. 413 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,920 So why does it get messed up at the end there? 414 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,920 Because he didn't write his books saying what do we put them in the bottom? 415 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,920 Actually, yeah, we don't know actually even what order he wrote them in. 416 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,920 There's some guesses about that, but that's not really why it's messed up. 417 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,920 It's messed up because these are the books that he wrote. 418 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,920 He did not write some of the books that go in the gap. 419 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,920 So these are the letters by Paul. 420 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,920 So that's why it's messed up. 421 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,920 And then I'll give you this one this time because you wouldn't guess it. 422 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:21,920 They're written by, in, these are the words, written by, in, from, and to. 423 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,920 So it's written by, in, from, and to the early church. 424 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,920 So this is one of the greatest arguments. 425 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,920 And really it is, it's the only one you need when someone says, 426 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,920 I believe in the Bible, but I don't need to go to church. 427 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:43,920 The Bible was written by, from, in, and to the early church. 428 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:50,920 You almost cannot interpret what the Bible says unless you interpret it in the context of a church. 429 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,920 So if people say they don't need to go to church, they just believe the Bible, 430 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,920 they are throwing the baby out with the bath water at least because they're saying, 431 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,920 I believe this book. 432 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:00,920 Yes, ma'am. 433 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,920 The P was prophecy. 434 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:04,920 Oh, no, no. 435 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:05,920 Paul. 436 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:06,920 Letters by Paul. 437 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,920 Oh, the last P. Philemon. 438 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,920 It's a weird spelling, that's why. 439 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,920 It's P-H-I-L-E-M-O-N. 440 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,920 Like Phil-E-Mon. 441 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,920 Okay, so it's first and second Corinthians. 442 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,920 Okay. 443 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,920 And then later you get Colossians and then first and second Thessalonians 444 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,920 and then first and second Timothy. 445 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,920 Okay, so anyway, so basically if you're saying, I believe this book, 446 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:43,920 which was written by, which was written in, right, which was written to the church, 447 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,920 but I don't believe in the church, that's not very logical. 448 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:49,920 Right? 449 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,920 So then some of the things he says, for example, even some of the teachings of Jesus, 450 00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:00,920 like love one another, one another, which is a certain Greek word that's interpreted one another, right? 451 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,920 That phrase always refers to in the church. 452 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:11,920 There is nowhere in the Bible where he says love one another and he's including lost people. 453 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,920 Now, does it mean we shouldn't love lost people? 454 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:14,920 No, we should, right? 455 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,920 You can go so far as to say love your enemies as yourself, right? 456 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,920 So we should love them. 457 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,920 But when it says love one another, that is written to the church that we should love one another. 458 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,920 In fact, we know that very clearly because you see he says, 459 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:31,920 and by this they will know that you are my disciples in that you love one another. 460 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:32,920 Right? 461 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:38,920 So these writings are written in the church, by the church, from the church, to the early church. 462 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,920 Now, why didn't I put of? 463 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,920 I love the preposition of, but why isn't of on the list? 464 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,920 Because it wouldn't make sense. 465 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:49,920 Okay, why? 466 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,920 Of the written list? 467 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,920 Well, it could if the books were written of or of can be substituted for about, 468 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,920 if they're written about the early church. 469 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:04,920 That's true, they're not history books, that's true. 470 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:10,920 It's because they were not written of the early church, they're written of the church in general. 471 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,920 Okay, so for example, like the book of Philippians, they got the book of Philippians, 472 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:21,920 which was a letter, right, to Philippi, and then they put that letter everywhere, sorry, everywhere. 473 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,920 And as new churches were started, guess what they read? 474 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,920 That letter too. 475 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,920 And then a new church we started and they got the letter, a new church we started and they got the letter. 476 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:36,920 And then after about 3, whatever that was, 350 BC or AD, 380 AD after the canon was locked down, 477 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,920 and they said these are the letters, every time a new church got started, guess what they got? 478 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,920 All the letters of Paul, right? 479 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,920 So these were not written just for those, not just of those churches that were the New Testament churches, 480 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:54,920 they were meant to be enduring words of God to his people, and you could say about his people, 481 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,920 but for every time, all the way through present day. 482 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,920 So it doesn't really fit to say they were written of that time, 483 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,920 because then we'd be saying they only applied to the church at Ephesus, and that's not true. 484 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,920 They have applied to every church since then. It just happened they got them first. 485 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:10,920 Okay? 486 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,920 Alright, now we're going to go up to the one box that we have left. 487 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,920 If somebody can get this, I'll give you two pieces of candy. 488 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,920 Letters non-Pauline. 489 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,920 Letters non-Pauline, that's right. 490 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,920 Was that what you were going to say too? 491 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,920 I'll give you both. 492 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,920 Oh, you've got the whole thing filled out? 493 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:29,920 Yeah. 494 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,920 Okay, well then you just have to be quiet. 495 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,920 Can I just get four pieces of candy and I'll shut up? 496 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,920 I'll give you two. 497 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,920 I can't eat it, but you can give them away. 498 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,920 Plus it's fun to throw them. 499 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,920 Somebody hit me on the face. 500 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,920 One like this. 501 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,920 Okay. 502 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,920 Some of them are just taken so they can give them to you afterwards anyway. 503 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,920 Okay. 504 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,920 So letters non-Pauline, to say something is Pauline means it was originated or written by Paul. 505 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:04,920 Right? 506 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,920 To say they're non-Pauline, that means that were letters that were not written by Paul. 507 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,920 It's not complicated. 508 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,920 Okay? 509 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:17,920 And then, Kishan, what's one and two P not written by Paul? 510 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,920 Can you do it? 511 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,920 Yep. 512 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,920 It starts with a P. Peter, yeah. 513 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,920 It can't be John because it starts with a P. 514 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,920 Okay, and then the next one is first, second, third John. 515 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,920 Right? 516 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,920 And by the way, who are the books that at first and second Peter written by? 517 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:39,920 Peter. 518 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,920 Peter and first, second, third John written by? 519 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:43,920 John. 520 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:44,920 Right, yeah. 521 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:50,920 So notice the difference between the Pauline letters and the non-Pauline letters, how they're labeled. 522 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,920 Do you see it? 523 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,920 They're always written, the ones that Paul wrote are always who he wrote to. 524 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:58,920 Right? 525 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,920 And then only one of these is kind of not over here and that's Hebrews. 526 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:05,920 Right?

563 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,920 Yeah, because... 564 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,920 One of them is, yeah, one of them is it's a woman, right? 565 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,560 And so, there could be a question and it might be a problem and they lean toward maybe like 566 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:35,200 Yodia or one of the women that Paul mentions elsewhere as being a leader in the church 567 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,460 in that day that she may have written it and that might be why the church did not identify 568 00:36:38,460 --> 00:36:41,920 that it was written by a woman because women didn't really have rights and it would have 569 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,280 been looked down on in societies where they wouldn't have thought, well, it was written 570 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,360 by a woman and they would kind of disparage it or whatever. 571 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,360 And then the other one is Paul. 572 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,400 Paul, because of the description of the Jewish culture. 573 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:59,480 Yeah, so he had the knowledge and there are parts of it that sort of follow the patterns 574 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:00,920 that he used when he was writing. 575 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,320 There are patterns that you can see in his writing. 576 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,960 But there's one main reason why it almost certainly was not written by Paul. 577 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,960 Do you know what it is? 578 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:10,960 No, he was... 579 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:11,960 Well, he was probably alive. 580 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,880 That would do it, but he was probably alive. 581 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,960 The main reason is because it doesn't say it was written by Paul. 582 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,160 And all the other ones say he wrote it. 583 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,600 He says, I, Paul, in almost all of them. 584 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:30,080 And so if he wrote the book of Hebrews, there's a good chance he would have said, I, Paul. 585 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,560 And he had that kind of authority. 586 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:39,560 People would listen to him because he was clearly an apostle and miraculously testified 587 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,400 to by God. 588 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,280 So if he wrote it, he probably would have said, I, Paul, and we would know it was written 589 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,280 by him. 590 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,840 Which means it probably wasn't him, but we just don't know. 591 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:51,840 We don't have that information. 592 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:52,840 Yes? 593 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:59,840 In my study Bible, in the beginning of it, Luke's description of Apollo since 1824-28 594 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:05,640 was perfectly fixed the profile of an octopus. 595 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,800 Yep, so there's another theory of it. 596 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,240 So there are several theories. 597 00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:14,120 The two leading theories are Paul and Iodio or whichever one of those women it was. 598 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,880 I was getting confused. 599 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,080 And she just brought up another one that might not have jumped in my head had you not said 600 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,560 so, which is Apollo's. 601 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:25,040 And that, by the way, Apollo's, there was a woman that was with him. 602 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,040 That's the woman. 603 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,040 And I can't think. 604 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,120 I'm not positive about what her name was, but. 605 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,120 Aquila? 606 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,120 Aquila. 607 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,120 Aquila. 608 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,120 Yeah, maybe. 609 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,120 Yeah, because they were both based on that. 610 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,120 Yeah. 611 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,120 Aquila and Apollo. 612 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,120 Okay. 613 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,000 So now we're going down to the bottom box. 614 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,720 So if you were here last week or if you already kind of know these things, then this will 615 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:44,720 go pretty easy. 616 00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:47,560 The first one is 40 plus authors. 617 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:48,560 Right?
