We look at 4 greek words translated therefore in Romans

WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:05.440
All right. Last week we finished Psalm eighty three, at

2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:08.000
least I think we did. If I remember, I think

3
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:10.400
we finished it. I was not in great shape. We

4
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:12.560
had to kind of go through that last part really quick,

5
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.599
but we kind of finished up Psalm eighty three. I

6
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:20.160
know we're still working on Eschatology. But once we finished

7
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.640
Psalm eighty three, I started thinking, so, what what should

8
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.480
we do? What should we do next? I started trying

9
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.280
to come up with some ideas, and then I would realize, well,

10
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:35.799
wait a minute, it's August. I'm like, okay, August is

11
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.719
somewhat significant, right, Obviously in pop culture, August the sixteenth,

12
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.520
this is important because that was the day Elvis died.

13
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.479
All right, So we got, all right, that's pop culture.

14
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.920
But August the seventh, twenty twenty two. August the seventh,

15
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.240
twenty twenty two, right inside this building, sometime after twelve

16
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.079
pm is we we finished a sermon on the Book

17
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.319
of Romans, and then the next week we began a

18
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.439
series on law and Gospel because I felt that Romans

19
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.840
led us to this discussion on law and gospel. And then,

20
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.959
in fact, I still state this the most important series

21
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.040
I've ever done in my entire history of teaching is

22
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.640
the series I did on Long Gospel, and that now

23
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.480
has over one hundred hours of teaching on the proper

24
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.799
distinction between law and Gospel. Over one hundred hours I

25
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:34.920
spent working on it. And we're still not done with

26
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.799
that series, but I've been working on ninety percent of it.

27
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.319
Oh well, about eighty percent of it occurred on the podcast,

28
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.359
but I spent so much time making sure everyone knew

29
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.680
the proper distinction between law and gospel. So I was thinking, well,

30
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.760
since August twenty twenty two was the last message in Romans,

31
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.200
is there any way to kind of ease back into

32
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.879
Romans or at least see what we can do some

33
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.640
more work on the Book of Romans, Because we made

34
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.719
it pretty far. We made it through like I think

35
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.039
ten chapters of the book. We did pretty good and

36
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.719
covering most things, but clearly there's some things we need

37
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.240
to continue on. So I was like, well, what should

38
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:17.879
I do? What should I do? What should I do?

39
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.439
So I was thinking about it, and then it was

40
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.719
like four five o'clock in the morning and I had

41
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.520
Fundamental Broadcasting Network on and I don't know what the

42
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.520
program was. I don't know what who the speaker was,

43
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.199
but he mentioned something about the word Therefore and the

44
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.319
Book of Romans. I can't tell you what he said.

45
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.520
I don't know what his point was, but as soon

46
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.560
as he said it, my mind just started thinking, well,

47
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.360
there for you Therefore has used a lot in the

48
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.759
Book of Romans. It's used a lot, in fact, depending

49
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.280
on who you listen to, somewhere between twenty seven to

50
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.280
thirty three times. And I'm like, okay, that's that could

51
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.719
be cold. That would be an interest way to get

52
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.879
back to the Book of Romans, right, because if we

53
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.879
look at the their force and the Book of Romans,

54
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.280
we would go from chapter one all the way to

55
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.759
the end of the book and we would cover all

56
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.680
the mat Okay, I say, I said, maybe I can

57
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.840
do something with this. Maybe I can do something with this.

58
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.439
So I threw out kind of an assignment for the

59
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.680
podcast on Therefore, told everyone to look them all up,

60
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.120
read each one, write down kind of what it's Therefore.

61
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.319
I gave a bunch of different things to work on,

62
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.759
and I said, okay, there's kind of an introduction. So

63
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.639
then I started, you know, kind of doing a little

64
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:38.360
bit of work. Got a I got a few emails

65
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.599
in regards to this. One of the emails read this

66
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:47.039
way they found thirty three times and they said, there,

67
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.159
I'm really interested. This is what one person said. He said,

68
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.800
I'm really interested to look at building an argument in

69
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.800
Aristotle's rhetoric. And I was like, oh, well, that's okay.

70
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:02.639
The therefour is interesting, but Aristotle's rhetoric, I'm like, Okay,

71
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.319
that's kind of fascinating because there's a lot of discussion

72
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.120
and history about how much of Christianity was influenced by

73
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:16.720
Aristotle's philosophy. Okay, all right, Does Paul use Aristotle's building

74
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:22.319
an argument idea and how he structured the Book of Romans?

75
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.920
All right? And does everyone know Aristotle's rhetoric? No, okay, right.

76
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.800
Aristotle's rhetoric. He argues that to build an argument you

77
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.399
use the following ethos, meaning credibility. Right, and Paul will

78
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.000
set at the beginning of Romans sets up his credibility

79
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:45.240
to be able to articulate his argument. Then pathos, which

80
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.800
is an emotional appeal where Paul uses emotional appeal in

81
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.360
the Book of Romans, And then lagos, which is a

82
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:58.360
logical appill where he uses logic and a logical structure

83
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.720
through the Book of Romance, and I'm like, okay, well

84
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.920
that's that's kind of fascinating. So I started working on that,

85
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:05.839
and I'm like, okay, I think I could go through

86
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.800
each section of the Book of Romans and I think

87
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.480
I could show, oh, there's Ethos, there's Pathos, there's logos.

88
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.160
I think I think I could do that. Okay, that

89
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.120
could be interesting, all right. But then I was like, well,

90
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.319
stay focused on on the their force. Stay focused on

91
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.279
the therefore all right, but I thought it was interesting

92
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.120
that someone would point that out. They went on into

93
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.600
their email to say, I wonder how much training Paul

94
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.279
had as a Greek and rhetoric. All right, well that's

95
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.199
a good question. Then it says most of these referring

96
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:42.240
to the their force, most of these are syllogistic transitions.

97
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.079
And I was like, oh right, so we could look

98
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.199
at their furs as a syllogistic transition. I'm like, okay,

99
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:53.680
that I may have to do a lot of work

100
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.800
on that one. I know Aristotle's rhetoric more than I

101
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.199
know syllogistic transitions. I'm like, okay, I'm going to have

102
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.319
to do some work on it. But I'm like, okay,

103
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.519
I could work on that. So I kept trying to

104
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.160
and I'm like, you know what, all of these are

105
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.720
important concepts and how the Book of Romans is put together,

106
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.639
but the thereforores, I'm gonna stay with that because that's

107
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:18.879
just an easy way for us to get right back

108
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.199
into the text. And then maybe as we're doing that,

109
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.839
we definitely will come back to the syllogistic transitions, because

110
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.759
there's an argument that the thereforce all are syllogistic transitions,

111
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.040
and then there's an argument that the thereforce are not

112
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.279
always syllogistic transitions. So I'm like, okay, that could be interesting.

113
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:41.040
So what we are going to begin today is a

114
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.959
work on Therefore. How we're going to go through all

115
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.920
the their force and the Book of Romans all right.

116
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.319
I don't know how long it will take us, but

117
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.759
that's what we're going to do. But before we do that,

118
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.199
we have to do some you know, introductory work. Now.

119
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.040
I did some of the introductory work on the podcast,

120
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.240
but we're going to kind of do a proper introduction.

121
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.680
And what we're going to attempt to do here and

122
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.160
I did not even realize this, but let's look up

123
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.079
some verses you won't notice this at first, but look

124
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.399
at I don't know why I keep wanting to say

125
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.839
the Book of Revelation, but the Book of Romans. Look

126
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:21.480
at Romans chapter two, verse one. Now, just before we

127
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.279
before you look at it, just remember this, all right,

128
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.920
Depending on how you count it, there's somewhere between twenty

129
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.000
seven and thirty three times in the Book of Romans

130
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:37.560
that the word therefore appears. This number will slightly be different,

131
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.439
and it will vary depending on the translations, as different

132
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:48.399
versions might use synonyms like so or then, and some

133
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:53.240
instances where the original Greek word often translated as therefore appears,

134
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.079
so we may have some differences in translation by utilizing

135
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.519
King James or new King James, or somewhere between twenty

136
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.839
seven and thirty three. All right, okay, And I don't

137
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.040
know why there's some discrepancy, but there seems to be

138
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:12.839
somewhere around that time. Did you find a number? Sarah? Okay,

139
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:19.240
King James? Okay? All right? So so again, somewhere we

140
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.199
have at least twenty seven times. I think most can

141
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.959
agree at a minimum twenty seven. All right, so here,

142
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.519
but go ahead and look at Romans two to one,

143
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.000
Romans two to one. I'm gonna read these sometimes I

144
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.679
have you do this, But to start out, I'll read

145
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:40.240
these Romans two one. Everybody there Therefore in the King James,

146
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:45.639
everybody see that therefore thou art inexcusable, Oh man, whosoever

147
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:50.320
thou art that judgest, for wherein thou judgest another, thou

148
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:55.480
condemnest thyself, for thou that judgest doest the same things.

149
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:06.559
Look at Romans three twenty eight. Romans three twenty eight.

150
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.360
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith

151
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:24.600
without the deeds of the law. Romans five eighteen. Okay, right, yeah,

152
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.399
the NV is gonna have some slightly different ways of

153
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:32.120
saying it, but it's the same concept, all right. Five eighteen.

154
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.320
We have therefore, as by the offense of one, judgment

155
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.240
came upon all men to condemnation, even so by the

156
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.759
righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men

157
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:49.720
onto justification of life. And then look at Romans thirteen two.

158
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:06.639
Romans thirteen to two. The King James has whosoever therefore

159
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.440
resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they

160
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:16.200
that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. All right. Four

161
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:21.759
verses where the word therefore appears. Now, typically in church

162
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.519
you would get something like, whenever you see therefore, you

163
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:29.440
have to ask what is it there for? And then

164
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.279
you kind of look at the verses before and the

165
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.679
verses after, and you draw some kind of conclusion. It's

166
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:38.639
pretty simple and pretty straightforward. Well, we I whenever we

167
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.639
You know, I've tried to always do this in all

168
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.240
the years have been teaching. Is when we cover something

169
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.960
the first time, the first time you cover it is

170
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.360
only laying foundation for the second time we cover it,

171
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.399
And the second time we cover it is only laying

172
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.639
down more foundation for the third time, so that we

173
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.840
continue to build and build and build and build and

174
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.919
build and build and build. Right, that's the way it's

175
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.440
supposed to work. And I supposed to just get a

176
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.279
simple answer and be happy with it. There's always more

177
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.519
to it. Well, in this particular case, it would be

178
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.120
easy for us to miss this. But someone pointed out

179
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:16.559
that those four verses where the word therefore appears four

180
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:27.200
different Greek words. Now that immediately tells me stop and

181
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:31.039
let's consider why. Right, that's interesting to me. Right, that's it.

182
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.720
That should be interesting to any good Bible student, Right,

183
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.480
any good Bible student should be like, well, why why

184
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.639
is he using four different Greek words? And then that

185
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.720
that would raise a question, right, is are they do

186
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:50.399
these four Greek words represent a different purpose and using

187
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:56.120
therefore does the therefore have a different or a slightly

188
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:02.159
different purpose, a different meaning. So I started working on

189
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.320
the Greek words. Now, first I was a little perplexed

190
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:10.320
and confused, because if you look at those four Greek

191
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.200
words in which we're going to be looking at them,

192
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.840
that's what we're going to be doing this morning. For

193
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.279
some reason, AI was telling me there was another Greek

194
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.080
word and I could not find it. I was like,

195
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.840
what where is Ai finding this Greek word? I could

196
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.200
not figure it out right, So I kept challenging. I

197
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.639
had to keep challenging AI, like I don't where is

198
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:34.600
this Greek word? Finally it acknowledged that, hey, you're right,

199
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:38.480
it's not there. It's barely used in the New Testament,

200
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.399
and it's definitely not found in the Book of Romans.

201
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.399
I don't know why it was where it was pulling

202
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.480
it from, but it was irritating me. So I think,

203
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.080
to the best of my ability that the words that

204
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.919
we have will represent the Greek word that is usually

205
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.679
translated therefore and the Book of Romans, and we'll look

206
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.320
at each four. But what I want to I want

207
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.720
to use I want to use this example of my

208
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.960
back and forth with Ai to make a practical point,

209
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.039
because this is very, very very important. Right. There are

210
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.519
times where the Greek word is very significant, can we agree?

211
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.679
And there are other times where it doesn't seem to

212
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.639
have as much significant as maybe as people would like

213
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:25.519
it too. What drives me crazy is how many times

214
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.320
pastors will make a huge deal out of a Greek

215
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.000
word and come to find out every conclusion and every

216
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:38.159
point they make about it is absolutely fraudulent. Remember we

217
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.639
covered this and we studied this, remember the whole that's

218
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.799
when Jesus is restoring Peter and he asked him do

219
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:47.720
you love me? And all the pastors make a big deal.

220
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.440
Well there's filet, oh, there's a gape, there's these different

221
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:53.720
juices of love, and then they make a big deal.

222
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.720
And remember what we did is we looked up every

223
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.720
use of like agape and every youth of oh and

224
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.240
the others, and what did we find out? Does anyone

225
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.440
remember what we found out? That was very frustrating. They're

226
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:12.360
sometimes used this synonymous and it's not like agape always

227
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:16.080
means this. That was all bogus and a lie. And

228
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.679
I've heard that preach. You've all heard it preach. I've

229
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.639
heard it preach, and we're like why that? It makes

230
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.159
me angry. So one of the things that bothers me

231
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.240
is when there was a time that for many Christians,

232
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.039
I mean, come on, let's just go and be honest. Well, first,

233
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.039
most churches are not going to sit there and go well,

234
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:36.919
for the next three weeks, we're going to look up

235
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:40.440
every use of the word agape, right, So that's already

236
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:42.919
number one. And if a church won't do that, then

237
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:47.039
who has to do it? If the church is not

238
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.080
going to do it, then who's responsibility would it be

239
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.559
to do that? It would be your responsibility because you're

240
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.080
supposed to be judging what is preached. But nobody in

241
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.279
the pew wants that responsibility, do they, Okay, Well, if

242
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.919
nobody in the pew's going to take the responsibility and

243
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.840
no one in the pulpit takes the responsibility, then what

244
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.679
is the end result? In churches all across the United

245
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:14.080
States of America, everyone lives in a perpetual state of

246
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:18.159
ignorance saying things that are absolutely fraudulent about God's word,

247
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.440
and nobody seems bothered by it. It should tick you

248
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.919
off because how are you going to know the truth

249
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.879
right because and you know why pastors do that, because

250
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.360
they just get a commentary and what the commentary says,

251
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.799
they just repeat. And what makes it so frustrating is

252
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:44.039
almost inevitably, what do they not tell you that they

253
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:48.879
got that from a commentary on page fifty two? So

254
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.519
then everyone thinks it's authoritative when it's not authoritative. See

255
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.840
what drives me crazy is so many times the people

256
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.519
into pew trait in some cases treat the preacher as

257
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.879
if it's a fact, you know, magisterial authority. And then

258
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.759
there's other times that the pastor can't speak because then

259
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.320
they question everything. The pastor says, I don't know what

260
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.559
the balance is. Well, the balance really is is the

261
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.039
people in the pew are supposed to be doing all

262
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.200
the work, because you're the one supposedly judging what is preached,

263
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.000
But nobody in the pew actually wants to do the work.

264
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.600
People in the pew will criticize, they just won't put

265
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:29.159
forth the effort that requires a lot of work. So

266
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.480
if therefore has There are four different Greek words translated

267
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.159
therefore in the Book of Romans, someone needs to take

268
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:40.080
the responsibility to do what try to figure out? Why?

269
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.799
All right? So I'm not saying that we're going to

270
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:48.799
come to some amazing revelation here, But if it's the

271
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.080
word of God, then don't you think it's important to

272
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:52.960
try to figure out? I think it's important to try

273
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.440
to figure out. So are you ready? Now? I wish

274
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.360
this is the one time I can't stand when we

275
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.799
don't have an internet connection here, because if we did,

276
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.360
this would be a very a lot easier for everyone

277
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:05.480
to look everything up in the blue letter Bible app

278
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:07.880
and we could. You know, I like being able to

279
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.759
do that. So, but we're not going to be able

280
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.039
to have some of that freedom. But we're still going

281
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:14.079
to make the most out of it. So is everyone ready?

282
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.000
All right? So? In the Book of Romans, the word

283
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:22.319
therefore is used multiple times, often serving as a key

284
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:28.440
transition that connects doctrinal teaching with practical application. The Greek

285
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:32.880
words translated as therefore in various parts of Romans, are

286
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:42.519
you ready for this indeed reflect slightly different nuances. So

287
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.880
at least one source argues that the different Greek words

288
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:51.599
show a kind of a different a nuance. There's something

289
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.440
slightly different. Now we'll have to determine if that is

290
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:59.160
true or not true. Okay, all right, so is everybody

291
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:01.279
ready to try to work on this one. Look at

292
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:09.039
Romans three twenty eight. Romans three twenty eight, Romans three

293
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:17.519
twenty eight. Everybody there, and what do you see in

294
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.440
Romans three twenty eight? Therefore we conclude that a man

295
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.359
is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

296
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:30.279
All right, Now, this Greek word, we would typically if

297
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:32.599
you were going to write out the transliteration, it would

298
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.920
be oeu n. That would be the transliteration, and it

299
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:40.000
would be oon. All right. Now, this is used five

300
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:45.720
hundred and twenty six times, five hundred and twenty six times.

301
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.839
It is translated all kinds of different ways. All right,

302
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.640
We're not going to go through all the different ways. Therefore,

303
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.839
then so and now wherefore, but a lot of different ways?

304
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:04.119
All right? Now own the strong's definition. There's not a

305
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:08.480
lot here to go with, truly. Now likewise, then then

306
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:13.279
therefore verily, wherefore there's not a lot here. We do

307
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:17.079
know this. This is the most common word translated as

308
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:22.559
therefore in Romans. According to at least one source, this

309
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.599
Greek word oon right and Romans three twenty eight. It

310
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:32.400
indicates a strong logical conclusion or inference from what has

311
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.680
been previously stated. It is used to link sections of

312
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:44.839
philological argumentation or to transition from doctrine to exhortation. Now,

313
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:47.799
that's a We're going to get in much more detail

314
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:51.039
about each Greek word, but that's kind of a basic idea.

315
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:54.119
So the idea of oon is it's the most common,

316
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:59.640
all right, in Romans, and it typically indicates a strong

317
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:07.240
logic conclusion or inference. Right, it's sometimes it's typically used

318
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:12.759
to link sections of philological examination or argumentation to a

319
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:21.640
transition from doctrine to exhortation. Right, does that? Everybody got that? One?

320
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.279
Is that pretty simple? Right? So when it comes to

321
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:27.400
ouon simply, but now now we're gonna we're gonna give

322
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:29.720
the simple and then we're gonna come back and then

323
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.799
add two. All right, has everybody got that? So if

324
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.559
you want to, if you're doing notes, you just may

325
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:36.480
want to refer to this as kind of the summary

326
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:39.319
of the Greek words. This is a very brief summary

327
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.279
here and then we'll build on each one, all right.

328
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:43.880
I don't want you to feel like I'm just gonna

329
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:46.079
be repetitive, but we're gonna We're gonna kind of go

330
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:47.759
in a circle so that we can at least get

331
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:50.079
through them. Does that make sense? I kind of want

332
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:51.880
you to understand what I'm trying to do here, right,

333
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:57.319
So first one is oon right and Romans three twenty

334
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.119
eight is a good example of it. Right, sounds good?

335
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.160
So as we go through all the therefores, what will

336
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:11.640
we do for everyone? We will make sure we identify

337
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.079
which Greek word is being used? Okay, because once we

338
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.640
know the slight differences for each one, what can then

339
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:20.640
we do? We can? Then it may give us a

340
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:24.319
clue to how Paul is using the therefore, which could

341
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:30.079
impact how we interpret the therefore? All right? Does that

342
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.519
make sense? Now? Typically we just ask what is it

343
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.759
there for? Here we're trying to understand why the therefore? What

344
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:39.720
Greek word was used to give us the there for?

345
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:43.359
And the first one is own it's the most common one.

346
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:48.039
Typically it's used as a logical it's giving a strong

347
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.599
logical conclusion or inference. It's it's used to link sections

348
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:58.480
of philological argumentation to us transition to doctrinal exhortation. Everyone

349
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:01.640
got that one, right. The next one. Look at Romans

350
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:13.720
two to one. Romans two to one. Therefore thou art

351
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:17.279
an excusable, oh man, whosoever thou art that judgest for

352
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:22.279
wherein thou judgest another? Uh, For wherein thou judgest another,

353
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:27.119
thou condemnest thyself, for thou that judges doest the same thing?

354
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:30.799
All right, now this one. The transliteration for this one

355
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:36.079
would be d io d io, which I would want

356
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:40.920
to pronounce like d oh, right, But I after listening

357
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:45.920
to some pronunciations, it's da or da, right, which is

358
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.359
weird because there's another Greek word that almost sounds the

359
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.440
very same as da da, And so I was like, well,

360
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:53.480
is this the same Greek word? So there was a

361
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.119
little bit of confusion, But that seems to be the

362
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:58.960
correct way to pronounce this one. And Romans two to

363
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:03.160
one would be da something along those lines. Right, it's

364
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:11.039
used fifty three times, and through which thing consequently for

365
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.759
which cause? Therefore? Wherefore is kind of the basic idea?

366
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:21.920
Wherefore or an account of Now with dia it is

367
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.279
the word is translated therefore, but with a slightly different emphasis.

368
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.720
It is often used to draw a more emphatic or

369
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:40.599
summarizing conclusion, sometimes with a sense of inevitability. All right,

370
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.799
So it's only used fifty three times, and it's got

371
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:49.799
a it's used to draw more emphatic or summarizing conclusion

372
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:57.599
with a sense of inevitability, right right, Well the old

373
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:01.960
Testament would be Hebrew, right, yeah, all right, so what

374
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:09.039
do what? Okay? Yeah, only six times in Romans. All right,

375
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:11.319
and we'll go and over time we'll find all the

376
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:13.799
places it's used in Romans. All right, so you see

377
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:19.319
the slight difference already, ooon, carry the idea of what

378
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:26.599
a logical conclusion linking sections of philological augmentation or argumentation

379
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:32.880
to a transition to doctrinal exhortation dia or dia would be.

380
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.640
It is more, it has a it's a more emphatic

381
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:41.039
or it's a summarizing conclusion with a sense of inevitability.

382
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:47.079
This is inevitable, right, so that that immediately when you

383
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:50.000
say what is that? Therefore, therefore you got to take

384
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.240
into consideration these different Greek words are giving different emphasis,

385
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:58.599
meaning that there's a high probability if this proves to

386
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:03.279
be significant you know what that would mean that there's

387
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:06.079
a high probability we've probably been wrong and how we've

388
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:09.440
handled these most of our Christian lives, which would be

389
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:12.359
very frustrating if it proves to be the case. I'm

390
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:18.359
not seeing it that is, but it could be. Yeah, well,

391
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:20.799
when we go we're going to go through all of them.

392
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:22.920
We'll know, right when we go through all of them,

393
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.359
will know, so that that's the important case. All right,

394
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:40.680
the next one, look at Romans five eighteen. All right, Oh,

395
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.799
I probably shouldn't turn there. I was just going to

396
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:47.440
make you guys read it. Romans five eighteen. All right,

397
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.119
Romans five eighteen, what do we have? Therefore, as by

398
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:54.240
the offense of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation,

399
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:57.160
even so by the righteousness of one, the free gift

400
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.839
came upon all men onto justification of life. This one

401
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:05.759
is aurah right are a are uh? And it is

402
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:10.480
used fifty one times in the New Testament, Right Sarah?

403
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:13.640
Do you know how many times in the Romans? Eleven times?

404
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:15.920
So I used eleven times in the Book of Romans.

405
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:23.480
And I mean there's a lot here. Oh r A

406
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:27.720
A R A R A. If I cansider a spell correctly,

407
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:35.400
that would be the transliteration a r a all right,

408
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:39.880
and the kind of strongest definition. There's a lot of

409
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.000
ideas here through the idea of drawing a conclusion a

410
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:51.759
particle denoting an inference more or less decisive what manner man,

411
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:55.920
no doubt, perhaps so b then therefore truly wherefore often

412
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.559
using connection with other particles, all right, kind of giving

413
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.079
the idea the outline of biblic useage therefore so when

414
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:08.359
wherefore it doesn't give us a lot of ideas. And

415
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:12.279
in the Book of Romans, the Greek word here are

416
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:17.440
are a is used several times, typically translated therefore so

417
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:20.640
then or consequently, this word is employed to draw a

418
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:25.920
logical or in conclusion from what has been previously stated.

419
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:32.079
So it's drawing a logic logical conclusion, or it's trying

420
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:34.799
to show you, hey, based on this, this is what

421
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:42.519
is being inferred. Okay, yeah, I think I think that's

422
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:44.680
typically the way we've handled most of them. I think

423
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:49.759
that's typically all right. I've I could go through the

424
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:53.000
different places, the key places where ara is used in

425
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:58.599
the Book of Romans, I will not. Basically, this is

426
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:02.000
how one source says aura is used in Romans to

427
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.759
draw a conclusion based on previous arguments or statements. It

428
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.960
often serves to underscore the logical consequences or implications of

429
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:16.200
Paul's philological arguments. The word helps Paul transition from explaining

430
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:20.480
doctrinal points to applying these points in a practical way. Right,

431
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.119
Unlike some of the other ones, which might connect broader

432
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.359
sections or themes, are often points to very specific or

433
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:35.240
immediate consequences, making it a crucial word for understanding Paul's

434
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:38.640
line of reasoning throughout the letter. So it draws a

435
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:42.160
distinction that some of the other Greek words right might

436
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:45.960
connect a broader section or theme, or are often points

437
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:57.599
to very specific or immediate consequences. All right, everybody got

438
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:04.279
that one? All right? So the first one is oon right,

439
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:09.079
Romans three twenty eight. It's the most common indicates a

440
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:12.039
strong logical conclusion inference for what has been previous stated

441
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:16.359
at links sections of theological argumentation to doctrine to a

442
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:20.599
doctrinal exhortation. All right. The next one is dia right,

443
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:24.240
Romans two to one. This word is translated, therefore it's

444
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:27.720
slightly different emphasis. It draws a more emphatic or a

445
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:33.599
summarizing conclusion with a sense of inevitability. All right, a uh,

446
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:38.599
which we've looked at it. Typically it's used to draw

447
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.880
conclusion based on previous arguments. It often serves to underscore

448
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:47.079
logical consequences or implications. It can it often points to

449
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:53.160
something more specific, immediate. It's a crucial word for understanding

450
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.519
Paul's line of reasoning throughout the letter. So again, slightly different,

451
00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:01.480
just slightly different. Some of the those are radically are big.

452
00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:04.400
There's sometimes some of them there's bigger differences. This one

453
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.240
has as much more similar than some of the others.

454
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:13.119
But okay, right then that takes us to Romans thirteen two.

455
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:18.960
Romans thirteen two. This is one I'm probably going to

456
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:25.119
say completely incorrectly, but that's okay. Romans thirteen two, where

457
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:29.039
we read whosoever therefore resisted the power resisted the ordinance

458
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:34.720
of God, and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

459
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:38.200
All right, now, this one, the transliteration, if you're writing

460
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:46.039
it out, would be ho st hh h O ste.

461
00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:49.640
Now anytime I just click quickly look at the transliteration,

462
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:52.680
I want to say haste, okay, but it's not haste

463
00:30:53.359 --> 00:31:00.640
it's host a, host a, all right, host Ay, that's

464
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:04.079
the best I can come up with, right right, host a.

465
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.880
It is used eighty three times in the New Testament, Sarah,

466
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:15.720
how many times in Romans? Five? Okay, So it's not

467
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:17.319
used a lot in Romans, used a lot in the

468
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:21.480
New Testament, but not a lot here Strong's definition so too.

469
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:27.079
Thus therefore, in various relations of inso much it goes

470
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:31.599
through a couple of things, Paul uses host a, and

471
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:36.599
in some English translations, though it can be rendered as

472
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:43.400
so then or consequently or consequently all right. Host a

473
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:49.759
is a conjunction that typically expresses result or consequence, often

474
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:55.880
emphasizing the natural or inevitable outcome of what has been stated.

475
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.319
It is a bit more flexible than some of the

476
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.200
other Greek terms translated is therefore, and it can often

477
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:10.359
imply a stronger sense of resulting or effect. It is

478
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:13.799
not just drawing a logical conclusion, but indicating that what

479
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:19.400
follows is a direct and necessary result of what has

480
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:23.519
been previously described. So this one is not just drawing

481
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:28.039
a logical conclusion. It's saying, hey, this is almost necessary.

482
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:32.920
It has to happen. It's it's it's a more stronger implication.

483
00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:35.799
Does that make sense? The other one is like, hey,

484
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:42.759
here's here's the logical result. This is saying this has

485
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:55.720
to happen. This, this must be the case. Right, Okay,

486
00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:02.000
so what's the first one? Oon right, Romans three twenty eight.

487
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:04.960
Kind of what is that? It's it's the most common.

488
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.519
Just make sure you remember that. And then basically, if

489
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:10.880
we're kind of giving an easy summary, this one is

490
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.720
a strong logical conclusion, right, and it usually links sections

491
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:21.480
of philological argumentation to doctrinal exhortation. Right, everybody got that?

492
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:28.960
That's what next? Dia right, Romans two to one. It's

493
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:32.000
kind of a slightly different emphasis. It often draws a

494
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:38.680
more emphatic or summarizing conclusion with a sense of inevitability.

495
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:45.680
Everybody got that one? Then? Ara? Right? It remember this

496
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.920
one has I've got a lot more on this one.

497
00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:52.759
I tried to try to you summarize this one. But

498
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:57.119
it draws conclusions based on previous arguments. It often serves

499
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:02.799
to underscore the logical consequences. Okay. It helps Paul transition

500
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:09.679
from explaining doctrinal points to applying these points. But typically

501
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:12.639
with r the main thing is it typically deals with

502
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:20.119
more specific immediate consequences, not a broader section. Okay, and

503
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:26.639
then host a Roman's thirteen to two, and this one

504
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:35.320
it's expressing the result or a consequence, the natural, inevitable outcome.

505
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:39.159
It's not so much drawing a logical conclusion, but indicating

506
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:43.199
that what follows is a direct and necessary result of

507
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:48.440
what has been previously described. All right, everybody got those?

508
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:54.920
All right? Now that's the simple that's the simple summary,

509
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:58.679
so that you have at least a simple idea whenever

510
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.239
you're reading the Book of Romans and you see therefore,

511
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:04.639
what is the first thing you need to do? Determine

512
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:08.519
which Greek word is being used? Then remember that that

513
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:14.199
Greek word may be making a kind of a unique emphasis.

514
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:17.119
That you need to find that unique emphasis so you

515
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:21.440
have a better understanding of what therefore is there for. Okay,

516
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:26.079
But now we're going to expand on the different usages

517
00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:30.039
of how these appear. All right, So let's start with

518
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:38.000
number one, which was oon. Right, Okay, we're gonna go

519
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:41.400
with oon. Okay, I've got my notes are all separated

520
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:43.239
and have to kind of scroll back up. All right,

521
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:46.800
all right, here we go. So the Greek words translated

522
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:49.920
as Therefore, in the Book of Romans, we know all

523
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:56.480
of them now right oon, dia arah host all right,

524
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:59.960
each have slightly different nuances. And here is a compare

525
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:03.239
of these words. The first one is un all right.

526
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:06.639
This is most commonly used word for therefore in Romans.

527
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.480
It indicates a strong logical connection between what has been

528
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:14.960
said and what follows. It often connects large sections of

529
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:20.079
Paul's argumentation, especially when moving from doctrine to practical application.

530
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:30.159
All right, So for example, look at Romans five to one.

531
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:38.280
All right, Romans five to one, and what do you

532
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:47.239
find there? All right? Therefore, okay, since we have been

533
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:49.199
justified by faith, we have peace with God through our

534
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.960
Lord Jesus Christ, it says. Now they offer kind of

535
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:56.519
an example of the nuance. This Greek word serves as

536
00:36:56.559 --> 00:37:02.679
a general connector making logical inference. Is that follow naturally

537
00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:07.599
from the previous statements. It often marks a transition from

538
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:13.639
one major idea to another. With n Paul's philological discourse.

539
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:19.280
All right, so it's bringing one section to another section.

540
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:22.960
And there's a good use of it, right, because that's

541
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:30.760
a pretty major significant shift. Right Therefore, being justified by faith,

542
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:35.599
meaning what is he referring back to all of the

543
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:40.159
arguments the entire section where it's about being justified by faith.

544
00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:47.280
So this therefore is connecting a major section with what follows, right,

545
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:52.440
So this Greek word tends to connect larger sections, so

546
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:56.519
meaning for this therefore, especially if you see this Greek word,

547
00:37:56.840 --> 00:37:58.760
you probably need to You're not just going to be

548
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:00.960
able to go back to the previous verse. You may

549
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:05.480
have to go back to an entire section. Does that

550
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:10.159
make sense? All right? All right? So that that will

551
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:13.400
probably be the major nuance to that, to that one,

552
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:16.360
all right? Everybody got that one? Is that offer a

553
00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:22.159
little bit more insight? Maybe? Okay, hopefully we'll keep building

554
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.880
on these. Well, we're gonna keep going in circles until

555
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:27.360
we build and build and build, until you really understand

556
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:30.079
what these Greek chords are. All right. The second one,

557
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:35.280
so there's oon. The second one is dia, all right,

558
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:40.760
and we'll go back down here. Uh. Dia The word

559
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.880
is less frequent than oon and tends to draw more

560
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:51.920
emphatic or summarizing conclusions. Dia emphasizes the reason or cause,

561
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:56.639
often summarizing a point before moving to the conclusion or result.

562
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:03.480
So dia emphasizes the re or cause, sometimes summarizing a

563
00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:08.519
point before moving to the conclusion, so it may be

564
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:13.079
more offering a summary. Does that make sense? All right?

565
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:17.320
So example, we looked at look at Romans two to one.

566
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:28.159
We've looked at it now multiple times. Therefore you have

567
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:31.920
no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges everybody?

568
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:36.840
See that? All right? Now? The nuance here is it

569
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:43.079
emphasizes causality and inevitability more than oon drawing attention to

570
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:49.960
the necessary outcome or consequence of the previous discourse. All right,

571
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.360
So if you look at Romans two to one, what

572
00:39:52.519 --> 00:40:00.320
is it saying here? Therefore art thou inexcusable? Its bringing

573
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:03.840
a summary, right, and it's inevitable. Hey, based on what

574
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:10.000
I just said, what if the inevitable result, you are

575
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:13.599
without excuse? So and when it comes to what is

576
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.480
he referring to? How we judge other people? And why

577
00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:23.400
are we inexcusable? We're guilty? Right, So it's kind of

578
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:29.440
summarizing an inevitable conclusion. Does that make sense? Does? Does

579
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:34.960
everybody kind of see the emphasis there? It's causality, it's inevitability,

580
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.960
it's the consequence. It's not so much a logical flow

581
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:44.800
it's much more like hey, Like, for example, if I

582
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:48.519
spend an hour saying, hey, you're a center. You're a center.

583
00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:50.840
You're a center, You're a center in thought word, indeed,

584
00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:54.159
you're a center by what you do and what you feel.

585
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:57.599
Then what should be the inevitable conclusion? It's gonna be

586
00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:00.159
hard for you to go around judging other people. Is

587
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:03.800
whatever you judge them for, you probably have done it.

588
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:06.440
Even if you've not done the action, you probably have

589
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:10.480
been guilty of it internally. So that probably should change

590
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:13.440
the way we judge people. Correct, that's kind of the argument.

591
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:16.440
Does everyonet to see that? All right? So there's un

592
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:22.559
there's dia. Now what's the next one? What's the third?

593
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:27.559
Great word? Arah? Right now. Aura is used to indicate

594
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:31.880
a conclusion or consequence that follows directly from what has

595
00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:36.280
just been said. It tends to emphasize the immediate and

596
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:39.280
direct nature of the result, often making a sharper or

597
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:46.639
more pointed conclusion. All right, this is the more immediate context, right,

598
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:58.920
not the broader section. Look at Romans eight one. There

599
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:03.480
is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ.

600
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:07.480
Jesus R is typically more focused on drawing a specific

601
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:12.159
conclusion or pointing out direct implications, especially the context of

602
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:16.960
individual or practical outcomes of philological points. So R wants

603
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:21.440
us to get very practical whatever the philological point is. Now,

604
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:24.760
it wants to get practical. And what's the practical point

605
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:27.760
that they're trying to make in that particular verse Paul's making,

606
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:32.920
there's now no condemnation that is practical, that is immediate.

607
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:36.480
It's not about some it's about it's about that outcome.

608
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:43.679
All right. Therefore, there is now no condemnation. It's very practical,

609
00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:49.039
it's very immediate, it's very sharp, it's very direct. Does

610
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:54.360
that make a little bit more sense? Okay, what's the

611
00:42:54.360 --> 00:43:00.119
next one? Host Ay? Right? This word is used to

612
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:06.519
express result or consequence, often emphasizing the practical or observable

613
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:10.480
effect of what has been discussed. It can also mean

614
00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:15.719
so that highlighting the resulting action or state. Look at

615
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:28.679
Romans thirteen to two. Therefore, depending on how it's reads,

616
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:33.639
some translations, is that whoever therefore, who's whoever? Therefore this

617
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:38.400
translation therefore, whoever resists the authorities, resist what God is appointed,

618
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:43.000
and those who will resist will incur judgment. Now host

619
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:48.239
Ay is more action oriented indicating the direct and inevitable

620
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:51.760
result of a preceding statement. It is less about logic

621
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:56.039
and more about showing the direct outcome or effect. This

622
00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:58.760
one is not worried about the logic. This is worried

623
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:04.039
about what What is practical? Right? What is action oriented?

624
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:07.800
So according to Roma thirteen two, what is the practical action?

625
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:20.559
Look at Roma thirteen two? What is the practical action? Yeah,

626
00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:23.559
there we go, the practical. It's just very direct, right,

627
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:32.000
don't resist? What the authority? Why you will incur judgment?

628
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:35.599
Is that? Know? What the verse is? Yeah, it's very practical.

629
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:40.360
It's not so much logical, it's action. It's action oriented, right,

630
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:47.320
don't resist? Does everyone kind of see that difference. It's

631
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:50.039
less about a logical inference and more about showing the

632
00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:55.519
direct outcome or effect. All right, so let's summarize now

633
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:59.880
these differences. Right, let's summarize them. Okay, now we've sut

634
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:04.800
we did a quick overview, then we built upon it. Right,

635
00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:08.480
are you experts yet? Now let's summarize them. Let's see

636
00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:10.119
if we can get these down. Look, we're not going

637
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:12.320
to leave here until you know these all right, you're ready.

638
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:16.920
What's the first Greek word? Oon? Right. This is a

639
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:26.880
general connector logical inference broad transition. Everybody like that general

640
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:33.760
connector logical inference, broad transition. And when we say broad transition,

641
00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:38.440
what does that mean? It's transition a large section to

642
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:42.760
a new section. Meaning when you see ooon, what do

643
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:46.800
you have to do? You may have to go further

644
00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:52.880
back to establish where the section starts. And then therefore

645
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:58.440
we'll show you where the section ended, right or transitioned? Right?

646
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:02.360
Does that make sense? Is that one good? All? Right?

647
00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:14.079
Next one? Dia emphatic summarizing stresses causality and inevitability. Dia

648
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:20.599
is emphatic. It summarizes, It stresses causality and an evitability.

649
00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:25.840
If I can say the word correctly, right, does that

650
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:31.440
make sense? So for this one, what you're not so

651
00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:34.559
much doing? What going all the way back looking at

652
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:38.039
the major section? You're looking? What? What is it? It's emphasized,

653
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:42.039
there's an there's something emphatic here. It's summarizing, and it's

654
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:47.000
stressing causality and inevitability. There's a cause. So what's the cause?

655
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:51.760
What is inevitable here? About this one? Right? What's the

656
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:57.880
third one? Arah? Right? Now? This one is sharp direct

657
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:07.559
conclusion or consequence, immediate implication, sharp direct conclusion or consequence

658
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:15.800
immediate implications. This is a direct This one almost indicates

659
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:21.159
why a direct conclusion A direct conclusion. All right, you

660
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:27.880
see that? Right? Then what's next? Host a right? It

661
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:32.960
is a result or effect, often highlighting action or outcome,

662
00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:38.679
and very practical consequence. It's practical, it's action. It's a

663
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:48.400
result or effect. All right, allre you ready, we're gonna

664
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:49.800
do a test. Do I give a test out? Now,

665
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:54.239
I'm gonna hand out paper. All right, everybody ready, don't

666
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:55.840
don't look at your notes. Let's see if we can

667
00:47:55.880 --> 00:47:57.800
do so. Let's see if we can do it. First,

668
00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:03.679
Greek word, right, Okay. I wish we had the blue

669
00:48:03.719 --> 00:48:05.679
letter Bible app to say it correctly, but okay, right,

670
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:13.159
you get it? Okay, what is it? Large sections? Right?

671
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:20.239
What else? Logical conclusions? You'll go ahead and look if

672
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:31.760
you need to theology to doctrine, okay, most common logic

673
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:40.239
sections broad logic theology to an exhortation. Right, those are

674
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:43.880
kind of the basic things with tune right. Next, no

675
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:56.239
dia idea emphatic summarizing causality and inevitability. Right, Causality and

676
00:48:56.280 --> 00:49:05.239
inevitability are you good. A right third arako? No idea

677
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:08.519
is what we just did? Now? Arera okay? All right? Sharp?

678
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:17.400
Direct conclusions, practical consequences, immediate implications, remember, immediate implications? All right?

679
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:26.480
Got that? And a next hostay okay? Hostay all right?

680
00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:33.280
Result or effect? Action right, practical action. I think what

681
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:38.719
else did we have down? Yeah? Practical consequences right now,

682
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:42.519
here's a summary of this. Each of these Greek words

683
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:46.840
add a layer of meaning to Paul's arguments in Romans,

684
00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:51.599
helping to clarify how the various stillological and practical points

685
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:56.519
he makes are connected to each other. Understanding these nuances

686
00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:00.119
can deepen the interpretation of the text by highlighting the

687
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:04.039
specific way Paul intends his readers to see the relationship

688
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:10.679
between his ideas. I will argue that, in our what

689
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:17.159
ten chapters of studying Romans, we missed those nuances? We

690
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:19.880
probably missed the nuance. I think we probably did a

691
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:23.079
decent job getting the basic idea. But now when we

692
00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:24.679
go back and look at all of them, what are

693
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:27.960
we going to look for? Now we're gonna look for

694
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:31.679
that nuance. We're gonna try to see if that Greek

695
00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:34.719
word now gives us hmm. We kind of missed that

696
00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:37.960
right there. Now, let's see if we can catch on

697
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:41.480
to that. All right? Does that make sense? All right?

698
00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:47.159
While these nuances might not always dramatically change the basic meaning,

699
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.400
understanding them can provide a deeper appreciation of how Paul

700
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:57.519
structures his arguments in Romans. All right. And I wanted

701
00:50:57.559 --> 00:51:00.719
to get us to syllogistic transition. I wanted to get

702
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:02.280
to all right, but we're not gonna be able to

703
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:04.920
get this logistics transition. I will at least introduce it

704
00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:08.440
this way, all right, So there are the four Greek words. Again.

705
00:51:08.559 --> 00:51:13.159
AI wanted to offer another one. And finally, I don't

706
00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:14.679
know where it was pulling that Greek word from. I

707
00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:17.280
think it was because there's another Greek word that sounds

708
00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:21.159
almost like dia. It's almost like it sounds the same,

709
00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:23.920
but it's not in Romans. Okay, So I don't know

710
00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:26.719
why it was pulling from it. But after we clarified

711
00:51:26.719 --> 00:51:31.920
that those four seem to be correct. If anyone finds

712
00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:34.480
a different one than that's okay. But those are the four,

713
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:37.519
we can at least say this. Those four seem to

714
00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:40.639
be the major ones. And what we'll we know before

715
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:44.360
we're done we'll find out if there's another one, will

716
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:46.719
we not? Okay, all right, we will find out if

717
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:49.039
there's another one, all right, out of the twenty seven

718
00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:51.559
and the King James or thirty three, maybe in the

719
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:53.760
new King Jake, depending on how you're looking them up.

720
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:56.119
We're gonna find out if these are used anywhere else,

721
00:51:56.159 --> 00:51:58.880
are we not? Sarah already has how many times each

722
00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:01.079
one is used, and I don't know if that at

723
00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:08.440
that equal twenty seven, but we're gonna assume that it did. True. Oh,

724
00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:12.840
good point. That's a good point. That's used a lot,

725
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:16.639
that one is, just But what when we find that

726
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:19.519
therefores we'll be able to determine? Oh wait a minute,

727
00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:21.320
we have a therefore here with a different Greek word,

728
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:23.599
So if we we in other words, we're gonna say, well,

729
00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:26.239
we'll be checking our work. Does that make sense? So

730
00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:29.519
that's always a good thing, So so what we will

731
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:36.119
do that? But some argue that the therefore paul uses

732
00:52:36.199 --> 00:52:42.559
the therefore as a syllogistic trans transition, all right, And

733
00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:46.760
and a syllogistic transition refers to a logical progression from

734
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:53.400
one statement to another idea, all right. A syllogism is

735
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:57.079
a form of deductive reasoning that consists of three parts

736
00:52:58.400 --> 00:53:11.360
a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion. So

737
00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:14.440
a syllogism is a form of deductive reasoning that consists

738
00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:19.760
of how many parts three? What is the three major premise,

739
00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:27.679
minor conclusion? The transition between these parts is crucial to

740
00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:33.800
ensure the reasoning is sound and valid. So if it's

741
00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:38.159
a syllogism, and it's a syllogistic transition, then it can

742
00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:48.840
be a transition between what major, minor conclusion. So some

743
00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:51.719
will argue, well, if we see that, therefore, if it's

744
00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:53.920
a part of a syllogism, then we have to figure

745
00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:56.440
out is that therefore moving us from the major to

746
00:53:56.480 --> 00:54:05.039
the minor, or from the minor to the So then

747
00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:07.840
you could be linking a bunch of the their force

748
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:10.280
could be linking. In other words, then you would see like,

749
00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:13.760
there's there's a therefore between the major and the minor,

750
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:18.280
there's a therefore between the minor and the conclusion. So

751
00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:21.199
then what would you do with the their force? Figure

752
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:23.800
out where the major, what the major premise is, then

753
00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:28.840
identify the minor, and then identify the conclusion. That would

754
00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:31.960
be a whole different ballgame, right, That would be more

755
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:34.880
than just going hey, therefore just fire. No, you would

756
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:37.320
be like no, that therefore is taking you back to

757
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:39.960
the major premise. Now it's moving to the minor premise.

758
00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:43.880
Now the next therefore is moving to the conclusion. That

759
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:47.360
would be grouping a large section of the Book of Romans.

760
00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:49.920
Does that make sense? And then the next one would

761
00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:54.840
start with what then find the major premise, go to

762
00:54:54.880 --> 00:54:58.719
the minor, go to the conclusion. Now there are I

763
00:54:58.840 --> 00:55:06.079
found arguments that therefore basically is always a syllogistic transition,

764
00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:08.639
and then I found arguments that that's not always the case,

765
00:55:10.719 --> 00:55:12.599
which would make it very difficult then to try to

766
00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:18.199
work through does that make some sense? All right? And

767
00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:21.199
then we could go through a major premise to a

768
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:25.079
minor premise. That would be a transition. A minor premise

769
00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:29.400
to a conclusion would be a transition. All right, Okay,

770
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:31.199
So like for example, we could if we if we

771
00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:33.719
looked at this just I'll just finish this part up

772
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:36.519
the transit. So a major premise to a minor premise.

773
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:39.440
This transition occurs when you move from a general statement

774
00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:42.519
the major premise to a specific instance or example, the

775
00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:47.960
minor premise. For example, major premise all humans are mortal.

776
00:55:48.920 --> 00:55:57.000
Minor premise Socrates is a human, all right? Okay, The

777
00:55:57.159 --> 00:56:01.679
transition here is logical because it'll applies the general about

778
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:06.159
humans to a specific individual. Right, So the major is

779
00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:10.280
what all humans are mortal, the minor Socrates is a human,

780
00:56:11.079 --> 00:56:15.079
all right? Then the minor premise to a conclusion. Right

781
00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:18.519
after establishing the minor premise. The next transition is to

782
00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:22.519
the conclusion, which logically follows from the two premises put together.

783
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:29.400
So Socrates is a human, therefore he is mortal, all right.

784
00:56:29.719 --> 00:56:32.280
See how it put It takes the two premises and

785
00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:35.599
then it concludes them in a logical way. Does that

786
00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:39.159
make sense. The transition here is based on the application

787
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:43.719
of the general to the specific, leading to a conclusion.

788
00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:48.480
Now that would dramatically change. That would be very critical

789
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:52.079
if it's And remember, at least one emailer said, maybe

790
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:56.920
go back to his email. His email said, his email

791
00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:00.519
said most of these he had already looked at all

792
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:05.599
of the therefors are like syllogistic transitions, I said this,

793
00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:10.000
and therefore that is true. So su at least one

794
00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:14.440
listener has already determined that most of these are syllogistic, Right,

795
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:17.519
I'm going to be I'm gonna say we will wait

796
00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:21.519
and see. So now what's our responsibility now when we

797
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:25.119
look at the their force. Now we have two jobs, right,

798
00:57:25.159 --> 00:57:28.239
we actually have three jobs. Right. Our first job is

799
00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:31.760
to determine what what is the Greek word and how

800
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:36.719
what is it emphasizing? Right? Second, we have to determine

801
00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:41.000
is this using is this therefore a syllogistic transition for

802
00:57:41.119 --> 00:57:45.320
a syllogism? Meaning? Then what we got to go find

803
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:49.760
the major minor and the conclusion. That's going to be difficult,

804
00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:52.800
is it not? And then the third part is simply

805
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:57.360
to figure out what well what we always say, what

806
00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:00.320
is there therefore? There for? Right? Just the basic idea? Okay,

807
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:02.360
so what is Paul trying? Why is Paul using it?

808
00:58:02.440 --> 00:58:07.920
There for? Wait? So we can go from a very

809
00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:12.199
These have very broad implications, do they not? The third

810
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:15.360
is more simple. Everyone will say, well, therefore, what is

811
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:18.000
it therefore? And we'll throw out something simple and we

812
00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:21.960
typically do what move on? Rarely does anyone stop going,

813
00:58:21.960 --> 00:58:25.400
wait a minute, this is a syllogistic transition. This has

814
00:58:25.559 --> 00:58:27.880
We've got to find the syllogism, all right, So then

815
00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:30.719
you stop and ask everyone, Okay, everyone, if this is

816
00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:34.000
a syllogistic transition, then what would be the next question?

817
00:58:35.639 --> 00:58:39.840
Someone identify the major premise, all right, now? Someone identify

818
00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:46.480
the minor. Now, someone identify the conclusion that you probably

819
00:58:46.519 --> 00:58:51.599
have never heard that ever in your entire life in church? Okay, right? What? Oh?

820
00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:55.840
And by the way, what is the Greek word and

821
00:58:55.920 --> 00:59:00.920
what is it's signifying? Now? Remember the different Greek words

822
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:04.000
could still be a part of the syllogists. In other words,

823
00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:07.800
no one Greek word would eliminate it from being a

824
00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:12.440
syllogistic transition. To identify a syllogistic transition, you have to

825
00:59:12.440 --> 00:59:16.480
do what try to determine if there's a major minor

826
00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:20.239
premise that comes, you know, or if there's a major

827
00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:23.320
premise before it or a minor premise before it. Right,

828
00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:27.119
and again, if it's syllogistic, though it would connect, how

829
00:59:27.119 --> 00:59:32.199
many sections it would connect, the major to the minor

830
00:59:32.840 --> 00:59:37.760
and the minor to the conclusion? Right? Would That would

831
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:39.719
be very important because what do we have a tendency

832
00:59:39.719 --> 00:59:41.440
to do with with the Book of Romans or with

833
00:59:41.519 --> 00:59:46.320
any of the of biblical texts. Not only do we

834
00:59:46.360 --> 00:59:49.440
take verses out of context, we almost sometimes take a

835
00:59:49.559 --> 00:59:52.360
chapter and forget to connect it to what comes before.

836
00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:55.400
And sometimes we'll connect it to what comes before, just

837
00:59:55.400 --> 00:59:57.679
saying well, in the previous chapter Paul was saying this,

838
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.559
and then but then we almost immediately tea the next

839
01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:05.599
chapter almost disconnected from the previous. Right, it's inevitable. Well,

840
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:11.159
if Paul is utilizing things like Aristotle's rhetoric, if he's

841
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:16.199
using that, right, well, that that's you know, he's using

842
01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:21.400
ethos pathos lagos, that that's that there's a whole structure

843
01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:25.320
to that. Does everyone understand that? And if he's using syllogism,

844
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:28.719
well that you got to have a whole new set

845
01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:32.000
of skills of how to interpret that. We we so

846
01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:38.760
reduce the Bible to very like verses and and and rarely. Well,

847
01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:42.920
first of all, remember the verse idea is so detrimental

848
01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:46.760
to hermoneutics. Can everyone agree to that? It's like, absolutely,

849
01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:54.480
it's anathema. Verses are great for what look up and memorization?

850
01:00:55.760 --> 01:01:03.360
What are they absolutely anathema to understanding? That destroy understanding? Right?

851
01:01:03.599 --> 01:01:06.639
And so that's what always drives me crazy, Like whenever,

852
01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:10.360
if we're over there and Paul says all Israel will

853
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:14.159
be saved, and then immediately someone wants to start arguing, well,

854
01:01:14.159 --> 01:01:16.239
then you've got to like, well, wait a minute, Okay,

855
01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:18.280
do you want to argue here? Do you want to

856
01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:20.239
really work on this, because to work on this is

857
01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:25.039
going to require what Okay, well, where did the argument begin?

858
01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:29.559
Paul didn't just out of the blue say Oriols is

859
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:31.639
going to be saved and you come along and because

860
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:34.079
that doesn't fit your theology, you want Israel to be

861
01:01:34.159 --> 01:01:36.440
the church? Or how did you come up with this conclusion?

862
01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:39.519
Where does the argument begin? Where is Israel first mentioned

863
01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:41.840
in the Book of Romans? Right? Would that not be

864
01:01:41.880 --> 01:01:44.320
where you would start? Does he make a major premise

865
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:47.079
about Israel? Does he make a minor premise? Is this

866
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:50.280
the conclusion of the matter. If it's the conclusion, if

867
01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:53.800
he's using a syllogism, don't come to me arguing about

868
01:01:53.800 --> 01:01:57.400
whether Israel's the church or not. No, you go prove

869
01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:00.760
to me where the major premise was, where the minor

870
01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:04.880
premise was, because this would appear to be somewhat the conclusion.

871
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:08.199
But you don't even know what a syllogism is. Somebody

872
01:02:08.199 --> 01:02:10.159
you want to argue about it. See, that's the stuff

873
01:02:10.199 --> 01:02:12.880
that makes it so frustrating with dealing with the Bible

874
01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:16.639
and arguing with people. Right, on one hand, what do

875
01:02:16.679 --> 01:02:21.159
you want to avoid We'll get practical here and we'll end. Well,

876
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:23.679
you don't want to You want to avoid saying, well,

877
01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:25.800
since I know what a syllogism is, or I know

878
01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:30.039
what a syllogistic transition is, or since I know Aristotle's

879
01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:33.519
rhetoric and I know that it has ethos, pathos and lagos,

880
01:02:34.239 --> 01:02:37.599
you can use that almost in an arrogant way where

881
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:41.320
you shut down all arguments. Right, You don't ever want

882
01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:44.840
to do that. Right, that's bad. Everyone understands that. But

883
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:49.039
because that's true in any subject. If you have the

884
01:02:49.079 --> 01:02:53.239
subject somewhat mastered and someone starts arguing with you, it's

885
01:02:53.360 --> 01:02:57.519
very quick to do. What say, just stop talking to me,

886
01:02:57.599 --> 01:02:59.360
just shut up, just leave me alone. You don't even

887
01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:03.159
know what you're talking about. And sometimes that can be

888
01:03:03.199 --> 01:03:05.800
bad because even though they may be arguing or bringing

889
01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:09.280
up a point that seems to make no sense, sometimes

890
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:12.920
you got to step back from their inarticulate way of

891
01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:16.880
describing it, because they still may be onto something and

892
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:19.320
you can't be so arrogant just to ignore it. So

893
01:03:19.400 --> 01:03:21.519
what do you have to do. No matter how much

894
01:03:21.559 --> 01:03:24.239
they argue, no matter if they insult you, you still

895
01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:26.280
have to go back and do what you got to

896
01:03:26.320 --> 01:03:28.480
go back and do the work. Going Okay, who cares

897
01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:30.840
what they're going to do, I'm gonna have a notebook

898
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:34.199
full because I'm going to work on this, Right, I'm

899
01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:35.960
gonna work on and we're going to find a way

900
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:38.599
to come to a conclusion, even if that means spending

901
01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:41.960
six months looking up to every use of the word Israel. Right.

902
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:45.199
I went and do that because we were arrogant, thinking

903
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:48.519
we already knew the answer. We did that to ensure

904
01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:54.719
that we would know the answer. Right. Okay, So you

905
01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:57.760
can't allow that to happen, Right, you don't want it

906
01:03:57.800 --> 01:04:02.719
to become well, you just stop all challenges. That's bad, right,

907
01:04:03.000 --> 01:04:06.920
No matter how inarticulate, no matter how ignorant, no matter

908
01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:10.719
how aggravating someone may be, you still have to take

909
01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:17.119
it into consideration. On the other hand, the people should

910
01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:19.679
realize that in many cases, when they're dealing with the Bible,

911
01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:24.760
they have no clue what they're talking about. They are ignorant,

912
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:28.880
they are foolish, they are not trained, they are not educated,

913
01:04:29.079 --> 01:04:31.880
and they should have a little bit of humility before

914
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:34.679
they start yelling and arguing at you about what they've

915
01:04:34.719 --> 01:04:38.159
not studied for five seconds. On one hand, you can't

916
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:41.239
let arrogance take over, But on the other hand, you

917
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:45.639
can't in your ignorance become You can become arrogant in

918
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:50.400
your knowledge, and you can become arrogant in your ignorance.

919
01:04:52.480 --> 01:04:56.960
Correct arrogance. Sometimes we think arrogance is only for those

920
01:04:56.960 --> 01:04:59.519
who have the knowledge. You know, ignorant people can be

921
01:04:59.639 --> 01:05:02.880
arrogant because they're too ignorant to know that they don't know.

922
01:05:03.679 --> 01:05:06.800
What always make the joke, what's the purpose of education?

923
01:05:08.679 --> 01:05:12.719
To show you what you don't know? Right? Is to

924
01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:15.800
show us what we don't know. So we now we

925
01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:20.559
can talk about Romans now in a way other people can't. Right, Hey,

926
01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:26.679
Romans could be utilizing Aristotle's rhetoric to build an argument. Look,

927
01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:34.880
here's where Paul used athos pathos logos. Oh, look at us,

928
01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:38.079
we've figured it out. Whether does that make it that

929
01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:42.000
we cannot allow that to do? What make us arrogant?

930
01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:45.800
What should it do? It should make us go? Wow,

931
01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:50.639
maybe we've missed understood Paul? Correct, Hey, Paul could be

932
01:05:50.760 --> 01:05:54.440
using a syllogism. Wow, that would change the way I

933
01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:58.119
read Romans. That's just not to make us arrogant, that's

934
01:05:58.159 --> 01:06:03.400
to make us do what work harder. Correct, Hey, there

935
01:06:03.400 --> 01:06:09.079
are four different Greek words? What should that do? Man?

936
01:06:09.159 --> 01:06:12.159
I need to know these Greek words? How long? How

937
01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:19.320
many years have I missed this? Right? It should always

938
01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:23.920
bring about humility, not arrogance. Okay, and just remember if

939
01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:26.760
someone doesn't know any of that stuff and they started

940
01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:30.079
making some argument about a verse in Romans, it's easy

941
01:06:30.119 --> 01:06:32.719
to be wide. Well, I can't speak for you. It

942
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:34.639
can be easy to be dismissive, just like you know what,

943
01:06:34.679 --> 01:06:36.039
you don't even know what you're talking about. Just leave

944
01:06:36.039 --> 01:06:39.800
me alone. But you can't do that. You gotta be like, Okay,

945
01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:43.960
that is such a dumb argument. But okay, all right,

946
01:06:44.599 --> 01:06:46.360
I'm gonna work on it. I'm gonna do the work.

947
01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:49.199
What did I do with Saw eighty three? It all

948
01:06:49.239 --> 01:06:52.519
started because of a sermon series. They did thirty three

949
01:06:52.599 --> 01:06:54.760
parts on Saw eighty three, and I don't think they

950
01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:57.639
ever once covered Saw eighty three. And they kept arguing

951
01:06:57.719 --> 01:07:00.400
that it was about some future Middle East war? Why

952
01:07:00.559 --> 01:07:05.480
because at times they came across so oh, just irritating.

953
01:07:05.719 --> 01:07:07.239
I could have been I could have done what with

954
01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:10.840
the sermon? I could have just dismissed it and go, well,

955
01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:13.639
we know more than that. But what did I do instead?

956
01:07:14.039 --> 01:07:18.480
Did I get irritated? Yes? Did I get frustrated? Yes?

957
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:21.719
Did I offer criticism? Yes? But what else did we do?

958
01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:24.800
How long we spent almost the entire summer of twenty

959
01:07:24.840 --> 01:07:29.760
twenty four studying SAW eighty three? And did we not

960
01:07:29.880 --> 01:07:36.280
take that thing apart every way imaginable? Yes? We did? Right? Now?

961
01:07:36.440 --> 01:07:38.199
What does that does that mean? The next time we

962
01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:40.559
hear something different about Saw eighty three? We should say

963
01:07:41.920 --> 01:07:44.920
we already studied it. No, what do I always say?

964
01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:50.320
Previous study has how much value? Presently zero? We would

965
01:07:50.360 --> 01:07:54.880
start over? Well, we now have learned a little bit

966
01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:58.599
about syllogism, We've learned a little bit about Aristotle's rhetoric,

967
01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:01.920
and we've learned about four Greek words. Right, if we

968
01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:03.599
ever go back, if we're ever in the Book of

969
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:06.760
Romans again, will we take that knowledge of those four

970
01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:09.880
Greek words and use it again? Know? What would we

971
01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:15.599
do look them up again? Why would we look them

972
01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:18.520
up again? Even though we just spent an hour studying it?

973
01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:26.279
Just to verify, to double check, make sure we didn't

974
01:08:26.279 --> 01:08:29.520
miss anything, because if you don't, you because this is

975
01:08:29.560 --> 01:08:31.520
what happens. Someone will learn that and then, for the

976
01:08:31.520 --> 01:08:33.960
rest of their Christian life will say, these are the

977
01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:36.760
four Greek words that are translated. Therefore, I am not

978
01:08:36.760 --> 01:08:39.279
going to rely on this next time. You know why?

979
01:08:40.119 --> 01:08:42.399
Because what if I got it wrong this time? Then

980
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:45.560
I would just get it wrong next time. We have

981
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:48.960
to be in a perpetual state of being humbled and

982
01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:52.640
acknowledging what we know and what we don't know. All right,

983
01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:56.359
So does that impact the way we've looked at Romans? Well,

984
01:08:56.439 --> 01:09:00.199
we'll guess what wolf do. We'll find out because next

985
01:09:00.319 --> 01:09:05.359
time we'll start where. Where's the first therefore found? Is

986
01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:11.680
it two to one? This was a big debate. Uh,

987
01:09:12.680 --> 01:09:17.079
I struggled with this week. Everyone goes to two to one?

988
01:09:17.239 --> 01:09:23.119
Is there another one? Look at chapter one, verse twenty four.

989
01:09:25.399 --> 01:09:32.439
For some reason, most of the lists they skipped this one, right,

990
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:39.479
Romans one twenty four? You have therefore or wherefore you have? Where? Four? Okay?

991
01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:43.840
What do you have therefore? Yeah? The new King James

992
01:09:44.079 --> 01:09:50.039
has therefore and it's the it's the dia, is it not? Yeah?

993
01:09:50.119 --> 01:09:52.880
I don't know why it's it's it's removed for most

994
01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:55.439
many a list of when I looked at all the therefore,

995
01:09:55.520 --> 01:09:57.680
I'm like, why is Romans one twenty four not there?

996
01:09:58.199 --> 01:10:08.840
But the new King James says and even as okay,

997
01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:13.479
and then the King James uses an even as they

998
01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:16.840
so all right, But so I think we're gonna start

999
01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:23.920
with Romans one. Okay, I'm gonna start there, right. Has

1000
01:10:23.960 --> 01:10:26.239
everybody got any issue with that? Or are we good?

1001
01:10:26.359 --> 01:10:28.399
Because it is it is one of the four Greek words?

1002
01:10:28.439 --> 01:10:31.279
Is it not? Okay? I wanted to make sure. I

1003
01:10:31.279 --> 01:10:34.119
want to make sure, all right, So what we'll do,

1004
01:10:34.159 --> 01:10:36.720
This is how we'll do it. We'll look at the text,

1005
01:10:37.159 --> 01:10:39.520
we'll do kind of a summary, we'll kind of look

1006
01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:45.840
at the significance. Then we'll do an analysis and a summary. Okay,

1007
01:10:46.199 --> 01:10:48.039
and then that meaning we're gonna look at a lot

1008
01:10:48.079 --> 01:10:49.560
and then we're gonna look at the outline of the

1009
01:10:49.560 --> 01:10:52.479
main lessons. We're gonna do that for every single one,

1010
01:10:54.319 --> 01:10:56.680
every single one, which will mean which will force us

1011
01:10:56.680 --> 01:11:01.640
to do what We're gonna have to look at all

1012
01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:04.760
the things that come before and what comes immediately after.

1013
01:11:05.079 --> 01:11:07.239
So this is by the time we're done. We're going

1014
01:11:07.279 --> 01:11:11.119
to basically have gone back through the entire Book of Romans,

1015
01:11:12.720 --> 01:11:18.479
so we'll see how much you remember from two years ago. Okay, okay,

1016
01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:24.560
but it'll be a review without being a review, all right,

1017
01:11:24.960 --> 01:11:27.479
so I think that'll be positive. That sound good. So

1018
01:11:27.760 --> 01:11:29.840
if you want to start well for the net, just

1019
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:32.600
start reading all the therefore is in the Book of

1020
01:11:32.680 --> 01:11:35.000
Romans and trying to make yourself familiar with what's going on,

1021
01:11:35.479 --> 01:11:37.880
and then we'll see what we can find. All right,

1022
01:11:38.039 --> 01:11:41.920
we'll stop right there. Lord, we come before you this morning. Lord,

1023
01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:44.239
we thank you for being in a church where we

1024
01:11:44.279 --> 01:11:47.920
could do this type of thing. Many places this would

1025
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:50.439
not go over very well or even be well received,

1026
01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:53.079
or people would just get frustrated with it, not thinking

1027
01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:57.279
it's important. Lord, I hope that we never forget every

1028
01:11:57.359 --> 01:12:00.439
single word is there for a purpose, Every single word

1029
01:12:00.520 --> 01:12:03.800
is therefore a reason. In many cases we miss the purpose,

1030
01:12:04.520 --> 01:12:08.600
we miss the reason, and then we misinterpret your word.

1031
01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:11.239
Forgive us for every single time we have done that.

1032
01:12:11.760 --> 01:12:13.920
Forgive us for every time that we will do it

1033
01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:16.680
in the future. But help us continue to strive to

1034
01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:18.920
understand your word and to take it seriously. And we

1035
01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:25.520
asked this in Jesus name, and God's people said
