This is the judgment, that the light has come, and people love the darkness rather than the light.
24:17
And the people who deny this reality are the ones who actually set themselves up for the worst kind of failures, 'cause they will come to realize eventually that they do actually still have sin, and they, they have the old Adam that clings to them.

You were talking about the, uh, Conor McGregor stuff, where [laughs] he's like- He was like, "I'm in Sin City." Uh, 'cause he was fighting somebody in Vegas, and he was like, "But I haven't sinned since I've been here." And it's like, I think he kinda meant, like, he wasn't going out and doing what he would've done maybe before in a different time in his life.

... it's with you

... with Bathsheba, David's problem with Bathsheba is that he didn't have s- uh, what, what did they say? What's Paulson say about that? I don't know.

Something like- He didn't know he needed a preacher ... that's what I was thinking when you were talking about the, uh, the advice given to the young man who was like, "I'm having a hard time forgiving somebody." And the advice shouldn't be, "Well, I just need to tell you that you need to know that God already forgave you for not forgiving people." And that's the advice given to them.

Their conscience is burdened 'cause they can't find it in their heart to forgive somebody, and you try to ease their conscience by saying, "Your conscience shouldn't be worried at all 'cause it doesn't matter." That's not good advice.
27:03
Mm-hmm.
27:04
And we've kind of been responding a little bit to the...
27:07
Well, I guess we were defending it.
27:08
Um, what would you add on to, like, the other reasons why we should keep using this phrase and not be afraid to shorthand, you know, to sola Scriptura? Probably because of, like, the rampant mysticism that's around, you know?

All right
46:23
... on to sola scriptura.
46:23
I think we should just keep doing this one for this whole episode.
46:25
But, like, do you think that that is the one, when people leave Lutheranism and go to Rome, is this the first one, that domino for them that kinda falls, like, sola scriptura? Is it, or is it really just, like, the faith alone one? I think if, if it is either one, it's a misunderstanding of both of them, but I don't know if sola scriptura is the one that gets them first.
