[4073.94 --> 4074.74] properly support, |
[4075.10 --> 4075.70] they would take |
[4075.70 --> 4076.42] these kids |
[4076.42 --> 4077.26] who were just born |
[4077.26 --> 4078.04] as infants |
[4078.04 --> 4078.74] and they would place |
[4078.74 --> 4079.62] them in the garbage heap |
[4079.62 --> 4080.44] outside of the city |
[4080.44 --> 4080.98] and they would just |
[4080.98 --> 4081.46] walk away. |
[4083.44 --> 4083.64] Now, |
[4083.68 --> 4084.44] that sounds atrocious |
[4084.44 --> 4085.10] to us, |
[4085.48 --> 4086.66] but it was perfectly |
[4086.66 --> 4087.64] normal |
[4087.64 --> 4089.18] in Roman society |
[4089.18 --> 4091.36] except for Christians |
[4091.36 --> 4094.08] who saw that practice |
[4094.08 --> 4094.54] and said, |
[4094.66 --> 4094.76] no, |
[4094.82 --> 4096.06] we're going to make changes. |
[4096.06 --> 4098.16] And so they would go out |
[4098.16 --> 4099.86] to the garbage heaps, |
[4100.04 --> 4101.24] gather up these infants |
[4101.24 --> 4102.10] and then raise them |
[4102.10 --> 4102.86] as their own. |
[4103.74 --> 4105.22] There's actually a story, |
[4105.68 --> 4107.76] whether it's fully true, |
[4107.82 --> 4108.46] we can't tell |
[4108.46 --> 4109.22] based on the history, |
[4109.34 --> 4110.46] but the shepherd of Hermes |
[4110.46 --> 4111.42] who became a Christian leader |
[4111.42 --> 4112.10] in the early church, |
[4112.54 --> 4113.52] he is thought to have been |
[4113.52 --> 4114.30] one of these infants |
[4114.30 --> 4115.70] who were discarded at birth |
[4115.70 --> 4116.80] and then was raised up |
[4116.80 --> 4117.54] and became someone |
[4117.54 --> 4118.72] who wrote and led |
[4118.72 --> 4119.76] in the church. |
[4120.72 --> 4123.30] This was absolutely weird |
[4123.30 --> 4125.22] and abnormal behavior |
[4125.22 --> 4127.00] and yet it was precisely |
[4127.00 --> 4128.48] where the Christians |
[4128.48 --> 4129.24] knew they had to be. |
[4130.00 --> 4131.20] None of this made sense |
[4131.20 --> 4132.64] in the world of the day. |
[4133.82 --> 4133.90] Right? |
[4134.58 --> 4135.92] It's because Christians |
[4135.92 --> 4138.34] are accused of ruining society, |
[4139.10 --> 4140.90] of ruining the normal system. |
[4140.98 --> 4141.46] And honestly, |
[4141.60 --> 4142.72] if you could be empathetic to it, |
[4142.74 --> 4143.24] think about it. |
[4143.80 --> 4146.98] If you live in a farming community |
[4146.98 --> 4148.72] outside of the city of Rome, |
[4148.72 --> 4150.98] you know that the rain comes |
[4150.98 --> 4152.82] and that plants germinate |
[4152.82 --> 4154.18] because you have offered |
[4154.18 --> 4155.16] the right prayers |
[4155.16 --> 4156.52] to the right gods |
[4156.52 --> 4157.68] of fertility and growth |
[4157.68 --> 4158.42] in the right way |
[4158.42 --> 4159.50] at the right time of year. |
[4160.22 --> 4162.32] But if one person or family |
[4162.32 --> 4163.62] in your farming collective |
[4163.62 --> 4164.72] becomes a Christian |
[4164.72 --> 4166.34] and then he and his family |
[4166.34 --> 4167.32] stop worshiping |
[4167.32 --> 4168.46] these traditional gods |
[4168.46 --> 4170.52] and then the crop fails |
[4170.52 --> 4172.20] or insects come |
[4172.20 --> 4173.76] and destroy everything |
[4173.76 --> 4174.92] or there is a drought, |
[4175.36 --> 4176.32] whose fault is it? |
[4177.76 --> 4178.66] Well, there's only one person |
[4178.66 --> 4179.12] to blame. |
[4180.32 --> 4181.42] It's those Christians. |
[4182.76 --> 4182.88] Right? |
[4182.94 --> 4184.34] Their belief is dangerous |
[4184.34 --> 4186.54] to the normal ordering |
[4186.54 --> 4187.52] of society. |
[4187.68 --> 4188.92] It's messing with the fabric |
[4188.92 --> 4190.98] of life and culture. |
[4192.60 --> 4193.74] I want to ask you, |
[4194.52 --> 4197.72] is your belief dangerous? |
[4199.50 --> 4201.84] Is your faith radical? |
[4201.84 --> 4201.92] biblical? |
[4203.12 --> 4203.66] Or, |
[4203.90 --> 4206.02] is God just another tool |
[4206.02 --> 4206.74] in your bag |
[4206.74 --> 4207.38] to accomplish |
[4207.38 --> 4208.38] your prosperity? |
[4210.78 --> 4213.40] Is church just another community |
[4213.40 --> 4215.52] where you can be used |
[4215.52 --> 4217.26] and where you can use others |
[4217.26 --> 4218.06] to accomplish |
[4218.06 --> 4219.38] the Canadian dream |
[4219.38 --> 4219.96] of ease |
[4219.96 --> 4221.18] and status? |
