[3130.78 --> 3131.34] you admitted
[3131.34 --> 3132.12] that you were wrong
[3132.12 --> 3132.82] but you're not going
[3132.82 --> 3133.46] to give in
[3133.46 --> 3134.26] because you're not
[3134.26 --> 3134.80] going to give her
[3134.80 --> 3135.48] the satisfaction
[3135.48 --> 3136.26] of knowing
[3136.26 --> 3136.98] that she was right.
[3137.08 --> 3137.56] You don't do that,
[3137.60 --> 3137.72] right?
[3138.86 --> 3139.46] Just me?
[3140.18 --> 3141.12] Pronouns are intentional
[3141.12 --> 3141.64] there, folks.
[3141.64 --> 3148.36] Instead, Ahaz's response
[3148.36 --> 3150.80] is feigned piety.
[3151.00 --> 3151.88] Let's continue
[3151.88 --> 3153.22] in that text.
[3154.00 --> 3154.64] Verse 12,
[3154.78 --> 3155.56] Ahaz said,
[3156.24 --> 3157.12] I will not ask,
[3157.56 --> 3158.30] I will not put
[3158.30 --> 3159.80] the Lord to the test.
[3161.82 --> 3162.80] Isaiah's challenge
[3162.80 --> 3163.52] to him is
[3163.52 --> 3164.56] ask for evidence
[3164.56 --> 3167.00] and Ahaz's response
[3167.00 --> 3168.44] is to bury his head
[3168.44 --> 3169.10] in the sand
[3169.10 --> 3169.92] into clouded
[3169.92 --> 3171.06] and spiritual language.
[3171.64 --> 3173.24] Now look,
[3173.80 --> 3176.40] at this point,
[3177.64 --> 3178.90] even the most
[3178.90 --> 3180.20] compelling evidence
[3180.20 --> 3182.26] will be dismissed
[3182.26 --> 3184.12] and explained away.
[3187.38 --> 3187.60] Okay,
[3188.60 --> 3189.36] zoom out
[3189.36 --> 3190.14] for a moment.
[3192.56 --> 3193.50] Evidence
[3193.50 --> 3195.20] does not
[3195.20 --> 3196.20] create
[3196.20 --> 3197.22] faith.
[3199.96 --> 3200.52] Right?
[3200.52 --> 3201.00] Isaiah
[3201.00 --> 3201.96] wouldn't be able
[3201.96 --> 3202.68] to argue
[3202.68 --> 3203.36] Ahaz
[3203.36 --> 3204.08] into right
[3204.08 --> 3204.54] belief.
[3205.66 --> 3206.66] Just like
[3206.66 --> 3207.72] you can't argue
[3207.72 --> 3208.40] your friend
[3208.40 --> 3209.10] into right
[3209.10 --> 3209.50] belief,
[3209.54 --> 3210.02] no matter
[3210.02 --> 3210.58] how hard
[3210.58 --> 3211.18] you try.
[3212.02 --> 3212.34] But,
[3213.08 --> 3213.84] evidence
[3213.84 --> 3215.10] confirms
[3215.10 --> 3216.20] faith.
[3217.48 --> 3218.36] That is,
[3218.42 --> 3218.94] if you have
[3218.94 --> 3219.64] the eyes
[3219.64 --> 3220.48] to see it,
[3221.20 --> 3222.30] you will get it.
[3222.70 --> 3223.86] And it will be
[3223.86 --> 3224.52] a confirmation
[3224.52 --> 3225.98] for you.
[3226.84 --> 3227.24] Right?
[3227.24 --> 3227.70] where there
[3227.70 --> 3228.86] is no faith,
[3229.12 --> 3229.54] at least
[3229.54 --> 3230.26] not faith
[3230.26 --> 3231.02] in God
[3231.02 --> 3231.80] and his word
[3231.80 --> 3232.34] to us,
[3232.34 --> 3232.96] where there
[3232.96 --> 3233.68] is no faith,
[3234.02 --> 3234.38] evidence
[3234.38 --> 3235.12] will just
[3235.12 --> 3235.72] have to be
[3235.72 --> 3236.68] explained away.
[3237.78 --> 3238.34] Evidence
[3238.34 --> 3239.06] isn't welcome
[3239.06 --> 3241.16] and therefore,
[3241.80 --> 3242.10] evidence
[3242.10 --> 3243.06] isn't seen.
[3245.68 --> 3246.38] That's why
[3246.38 --> 3246.88] some of you
[3246.88 --> 3247.82] get so frustrated
[3247.82 --> 3248.92] trying to convince
[3248.92 --> 3249.42] your kids
[3249.42 --> 3249.94] to believe
[3249.94 --> 3250.60] like you do.
[3250.60 --> 3253.66] because without
[3253.66 --> 3254.16] the shared
[3254.16 --> 3254.64] faith,
