- 10:53you
- 10:53want
- 10:53to
- 10:54maybe
- 10:54just
- 10:55riff
- 10:55on
- 10:55that
- 10:55a
- 10:55little
- 10:55bit?
- 10:56Sure.
- 10:58I
- 10:58think
- 10:59shorthand,
- 11:00I
- 11:00like
- 11:00to
- 11:01say
- 11:01omnipotence
- 11:02is
- 11:03God's
- 11:03power
- 11:03of
- 11:04uncontrolling
- 11:05love.
- 11:05Because
- 11:06sometimes
- 11:07people
- 11:07will
- 11:07say,
- 11:07will
- 11:08think,
- 11:08well,
- 11:08the
- 11:08power
- 11:09of
- 11:09love
- 11:09still
- 11:10might
- 11:10be
- 11:10controlling
- 11:11from
- 11:11time
- 11:11to
- 11:11time.
- 11:12And
- 11:12I'm
- 11:12pretty
- 11:13clear
- 11:13that
- 11:13I
- 11:13think
- 11:14omnipotence
- 11:15never
- 11:15controls,
- 11:16and
- 11:16God
- 11:16can't
- 11:17control
- 11:17anyone
- 11:18or
- 11:18anything
- 11:19at
- 11:19any
- 11:19time.
- 11:20When
- 11:20it

- 11:22Friday
- 11:22or

- 11:27wrestled
- 11:27with
- 11:28trying
- 11:28to
- 11:28figure

- 11:32On
- 11:32the
- 11:32one
- 11:32hand,
- 11:33I
- 11:33think
- 11:33I
- 11:33want
- 11:34to
- 11:34strongly
- 11:35affirm
- 11:35Jesus
- 11:36as
- 11:36an
- 11:36actual
- 11:37human

- 11:44human.
- 11:45But
- 11:45I
- 11:46think

- 11:48have
- 11:49licensed
- 11:50to
- 11:50wonder
- 11:51if
- 11:51even

- 11:52suffering
- 11:52and
- 11:53death,
- 11:53Jesus
- 11:54tells
- 11:54us
- 11:54something
- 11:55about

- 11:57here,
- 11:57he
- 11:57would

- 15:26up
- 15:26in
- 15:26that
- 15:26episode
- 15:26are
- 15:27kind
- 15:27of
- 15:27revolving

- 15:31And
- 15:31then
- 15:31also,
- 15:32if
- 15:33a
- 15:33being

- 15:37You

- 15:39Purple,
- 15:39for
- 15:39him,
- 15:40since
- 15:40no
- 15:40one
- 15:41can
- 15:41choose
- 15:41to
- 15:41love
- 15:41him
- 15:42because
- 15:42he's

- 15:43something
- 15:44he

- 16:10one
- 16:10of
- 16:11the
- 16:11things
- 16:12that
- 16:12came
- 16:12to
- 16:13mind
- 16:13for
- 16:13me
- 16:13was
- 16:14actually
- 16:14kind
- 16:14of
- 16:15two.
- 16:16I
- 16:17don't
- 16:17know,
- 16:17two
- 16:17ideas
- 16:19that,
- 16:19like
- 16:19I
- 16:19said,
- 16:20came
- 16:20to
- 16:20mind
- 16:20when
- 16:20you
- 16:20all
- 16:21were.
- 16:21Were
- 16:21speaking.
- 16:22And
- 16:22I'd
- 16:22be
- 16:23interested.
- 16:23I
- 16:24have
- 16:24a
- 16:24guess.
- 16:25Like,
- 16:25I.
- 16:25I
- 16:25have
- 16:25a
- 16:26guess.
- 16:26If
- 16:26I
- 16:26were
- 16:26to
- 16:26put
- 16:27on
- 16:27my
- 16:27Tom
- 16:27Ord
- 16:27hat
- 16:28and
- 16:28be
- 16:28like,
- 16:29how
- 16:29would
- 16:29Tom
- 16:30answer
- 16:30this
- 16:30question?
- 16:31I
- 16:31think
- 16:31I
- 16:32could
- 16:32maybe
- 16:33get
- 16:3375%
- 16:34of
- 16:34the
- 16:34way
- 16:34there,
- 16:34but
- 16:34maybe
- 16:35I'll.
- 16:35I'll
- 16:35throw
- 16:35the
- 16:35two
- 16:36things
- 16:36out
- 16:36there,
- 16:36and
- 16:37then
- 16:37we
- 16:37can
- 16:37see
- 16:37what
- 16:37Tom
- 16:38thinks.
- 16:38So
- 16:39the
- 16:40two
- 16:40things
- 16:40that
- 16:40came
- 16:40to
- 16:41mind
- 16:41were
- 16:41this.
- 16:41In
- 16:41listening,
- 16:42coercion
- 16:43isn't
- 16:44always
- 16:44necessarily
- 16:45bad,
- 16:46and
- 16:46persuasion
- 16:48isn't
- 16:48always
- 16:49necessarily
- 16:50good.
- 16:51And
- 16:52so
- 16:52Tom's
- 16:53argument
- 16:54is
- 16:54predicated
- 16:55on
- 16:55the
- 16:55idea
- 16:55that
- 16:55coercion
- 16:56is
- 16:56bad
- 16:56and
- 16:56persuasion
- 16:57is
- 16:57a
- 16:57better
- 16:58form
- 16:58of
- 16:58power.
- 16:59But
- 16:59I
- 16:59can
- 17:00think
- 17:00of
- 17:00instances
- 17:01when
- 17:01both
- 17:01coercion
- 17:02and
- 17:02persuasion
- 17:03could
- 17:03be
- 17:04flipped.
- 17:04So
- 17:05I'm
- 17:05not
- 17:05here
- 17:05to
- 17:05ask
- 17:06questions,
- 17:06but
- 17:06that's
- 17:07what
- 17:07came
- 17:07to
- 17:07mind.
- 17:08Hey,
- 17:09I
- 17:09love
- 17:09questions.
- 17:10Before
- 17:10Tom
- 17:10takes
- 17:11that,
- 17:11though,
- 17:11could
- 17:12you
- 17:12just
- 17:12kind
- 17:13of
- 17:13tell
- 17:13us
- 17:13how
- 17:13would
- 17:13you
- 17:14define
- 17:14coercion
- 17:15and
- 17:15persuasion
- 17:15and
- 17:16the
- 17:16difference,
- 17:16so
- 17:17that
- 17:17we're
- 17:17actually
- 17:17addressing
- 17:18what
- 17:18you're
- 17:18getting
- 17:18at?
- 17:19Yeah,
- 17:19yeah.
- 17:19No,
- 17:19that's
- 17:19good.
- 17:20Actually,
- 17:20I
- 17:20was
- 17:20at
- 17:20a
- 17:21talk
- 17:21recently
- 17:22with
- 17:22two
- 17:22nerdy
- 17:23philosophers,
- 17:23and
- 17:24the
- 17:24one
- 17:24guy
- 17:25said,
- 17:25like,
- 17:25hey,
- 17:25before
- 17:26we
- 17:26start,
- 17:27I'm
- 17:27going
- 17:27to
- 17:27give
- 17:27a
- 17:27definition
- 17:28of
- 17:28this
- 17:28word
- 17:28that
- 17:29I'm
- 17:29using,
- 17:30because
- 17:30if
- 17:30I
- 17:31define
- 17:31it,
- 17:32you
- 17:32and
- 17:32I
- 17:32can
- 17:32disagree,
- 17:33but
- 17:33at
- 17:34least
- 17:34we
- 17:34won't
- 17:34be
- 17:34confused.
- 17:35And
- 17:35he
- 17:35was
- 17:35like,
- 17:35I'd
- 17:36rather
- 17:36have
- 17:36disagreement
- 17:37than
- 17:37confusion.
- 17:37So
- 17:38I
- 17:38think
- 17:38your
- 17:38instincts
- 17:39are
- 17:39right.
- 17:40Coercion,
- 17:41I
- 17:41think,
- 17:41would
- 17:42be.
- 17:42To
- 17:44force
- 17:44might
- 17:44be
- 17:45too
- 17:45strong
- 17:45of
- 17:45a
- 17:45word,
- 17:45but
- 17:46to
- 17:46coerce
- 17:46somebody
- 17:47is
- 17:47to.
- 17:47Is
- 17:47to
- 17:47force
- 17:48them,
- 17:48to
- 17:48manipulate
- 17:49them
- 17:49into
- 17:50doing
- 17:50something
- 17:51that
- 17:51you
- 17:51want
- 17:51them
- 17:52to
- 17:52do.
- 17:53So
- 17:53that's,
- 17:54you
- 17:54know,
- 17:54like.
- 17:54I
- 17:55don't
- 17:55know.
- 17:55Yeah,
- 17:55that'd
- 17:56be.
- 17:56That'd
- 17:56be
- 17:56coercive.
- 17:57Or.
- 17:57Whereas
- 17:58persuasion
- 17:59is
- 17:59more
- 18:00using
- 18:00the
- 18:01power
- 18:01of
- 18:01influence
- 18:02or
- 18:03invitation.
- 18:05You
- 18:05know,
- 18:05to
- 18:05persuade
- 18:06somebody
- 18:07is
- 18:07not
- 18:07to
- 18:07override
- 18:08their
- 18:09free
- 18:09will,
- 18:09but
- 18:10rather
- 18:10to
- 18:11invite
- 18:11them
- 18:12into
- 18:12considering
- 18:13something,
- 18:13and
- 18:14then
- 18:14they
- 18:14still
- 18:14have
- 18:14that
- 18:15free
- 18:15choice
- 18:15of
- 18:16agreeing,
- 18:17participating,
- 18:18or
- 18:18whatever.
- 18:18So
- 18:19that's
- 18:19how
- 18:19I
- 18:19would
- 18:19see
- 18:20those
- 18:20two
- 18:20as
- 18:20different.
- 18:22Well,
- 18:22you
- 18:22could
- 18:22ask
- 18:22the
- 18:23philosopher
- 18:25to
- 18:25give
- 18:25technical.
- 18:26Tom,
- 18:27jump
- 18:27in
- 18:27here.
- 18:28Yeah.
- 18:28I
- 18:29think
- 18:29there
- 18:29are
- 18:29three
- 18:30senses
- 18:31of
- 18:31coercion
- 18:32that
- 18:32are
- 18:32used,
- 18:33and
- 18:34because
- 18:34there's
- 18:34three
- 18:35of
- 18:35them,
- 18:35there's
- 18:35lots
- 18:35of
- 18:35confusion
- 18:36that
- 18:36arises.
- 18:38One
- 18:38sense
- 18:39of
- 18:40coercion
- 18:41is
- 18:41kind
- 18:41of
- 18:41like
- 18:42a
- 18:42threat
- 18:42or
- 18:43a
- 18:43bully.
- 18:44So
- 18:44if
- 18:44Donald
- 18:45Trump
- 18:45says,
- 18:46I'm
- 18:46going

- 18:50and
- 18:51services
- 18:51to
- 18:51the
- 18:51US
- 18:52that's
- 18:53coercion,
- 18:53trying
- 18:54to
- 18:54force
- 18:54them
- 18:55to
- 18:55do
- 18:55something
- 18:55by
- 18:56threatening
- 18:56some
- 18:56kind
- 18:57of
- 18:57harm
- 18:58or
- 18:58financial
- 18:59loss
- 18:59or
- 18:59something
- 19:00like
- 19:00that.
- 19:00A
- 19:00second
- 19:01sense

- 19:02I
- 19:02like
- 19:02to
- 19:02call
- 19:03bodily
- 19:03impact.
- 19:04So
- 19:05if
- 19:05you're
- 19:05standing
- 19:06on
- 19:06a
- 19:07football
- 19:07field

- 24:08into
- 24:08this
- 24:08situation
- 24:09at
- 24:09this
- 24:09point
- 24:10is,
- 24:11or
- 24:11into
- 24:11the

- 24:13be,
- 24:14like,
- 24:14some
- 24:14of
- 24:15the
- 24:16metaphysical
- 24:17assumptions
- 24:17and
- 24:18the
- 24:18philosophical
- 24:18assumptions
- 24:19that
- 24:19come
- 24:20with
- 24:20process
- 24:21thought
- 24:21that
- 24:22a
- 24:22lot
- 24:22of,
- 24:23you
- 24:23know,
- 24:23at
- 24:23least
- 24:24my
- 24:24understanding
- 24:24of
- 24:25how
- 24:25Tom's
- 24:25argument
- 24:26functions
- 24:27are
- 24:27built
- 24:27on,
- 24:28that
- 24:28don't
- 24:28necessarily
- 24:30apply
- 24:30to
- 24:31you
- 24:31and
- 24:31I
- 24:33that
- 24:33might
- 24:34apply
- 24:34to
- 24:34God.
- 24:35So,
- 24:36for
- 24:36example,
- 24:37one
- 24:37thing
- 24:37would
- 24:38be
- 24:39God
- 24:39doesn't
- 24:40have
- 24:40a
- 24:40physical
- 24:41body
- 24:42to
- 24:42be
- 24:42able
- 24:42to
- 24:43coerce
- 24:43people.
- 24:44You're
- 24:44gonna
- 24:45say
- 24:45that
- 24:45on
- 24:45Good
- 24:45Friday.
- 24:47All
- 24:48right,
- 24:48Jesus
- 24:49aside,
- 24:50we'll
- 24:50assume,
- 24:51right
- 24:51incarnation.
- 24:53But
- 24:53if
- 24:54we're
- 24:54gonna
- 24:54do
- 24:54that,
- 24:54if
- 24:54you
- 24:55want
- 24:55my
- 24:55Good
- 24:55Friday
- 24:55take,
- 24:56that's
- 24:56a
- 24:56whole
- 24:56nother
- 24:56thing,
- 24:57because
- 24:57I
- 24:57don't
- 24:57think
- 24:57people.
- 24:58Christians
- 24:58take
- 24:59seriously
- 24:59enough
- 25:00the
- 25:00death
- 25:01of
- 25:01God.
- 25:02And
- 25:02I'm
- 25:02gonna
- 25:02use
- 25:02that
- 25:03philosophically.
- 25:04But
- 25:04anyway,
- 25:07God
- 25:07doesn't
- 25:07have
- 25:08a
- 25:08physical
- 25:08body,
- 25:09which
- 25:09makes
- 25:09it
- 25:09very
- 25:10difficult
- 25:10to
- 25:11push
- 25:11people
- 25:12out
- 25:12of
- 25:12the
- 25:12way,
- 25:12you
- 25:12know,
- 25:13to
- 25:13save
- 25:13TJ
- 25:13from
- 25:14the
- 25:14car.
- 25:14And
- 25:15also,
- 25:16there's
- 25:16some
- 25:16assumptions,
- 25:17you
- 25:18know,
- 25:18just
- 25:18within
- 25:19how
- 25:19process
- 25:20functions
- 25:20in
- 25:21general,
- 25:21like
- 25:22process
- 25:22metaphysics.
- 25:24But
- 25:24also,
- 25:25you
- 25:25know,
- 25:25if
- 25:26you
- 25:26want
- 25:27to
- 25:27assume
- 25:27something
- 25:28like
- 25:29pan
- 25:29experientialism
- 25:30or
- 25:31panpsychism,
- 25:32that
- 25:32also
- 25:32muddies
- 25:33the
- 25:33waters
- 25:34when
- 25:34it
- 25:34comes
- 25:34to
- 25:34things
- 25:35that
- 25:35God
- 25:35can
- 25:35and
- 25:36can't
- 25:36do.
- 25:36What
- 25:37would
- 25:37constitute
- 25:37as
- 25:38something
- 25:38being
- 25:39coercive
- 25:39or
- 25:40manipulative
- 25:40based
- 25:41off
- 25:41those
- 25:41assumptions?
- 25:42A
- 25:42lot
- 25:42of
- 25:42process
- 25:43people
- 25:43assume
- 25:44pan
- 25:44experientialism
- 25:45to
- 25:45be
- 25:45true.
- 25:46That
- 25:46messes
- 25:46things
- 25:47up.
- 25:48So
- 25:48I
- 25:48think
- 25:48it's.
- 25:49It's
- 25:49bigger
- 25:49than
- 25:50the
- 25:50argument
- 25:50of,
- 25:51like,
- 25:52is
- 25:52love
- 25:53coercive
- 25:54or
- 25:54non
- 25:54coercive?
- 25:55We
- 25:55can
- 25:55say,
- 25:55okay,
- 25:56we
- 25:56think
- 25:56love
- 25:56is
- 25:56not
- 25:56coercive
- 25:57in
- 25:57the
- 25:57philosophical
- 25:58sense,
- 25:59but
- 26:00it
- 26:00appears
- 26:00that
- 26:01there's
- 26:01things
- 26:01that
- 26:01we
- 26:01people
- 26:02can
- 26:02do
- 26:02or
- 26:03Mr.
- 26:03Purple
- 26:04can
- 26:04do
- 26:06that
- 26:06you're
- 26:06saying,
- 26:06like,
- 26:07oh,
- 26:07If
- 26:07God
- 26:07did
- 26:07that,
- 26:07it
- 26:08would
- 26:08be
- 26:08bad.
- 26:08And
- 26:09it's
- 26:09because
- 26:09there's
- 26:10these
- 26:10different
- 26:10assumptions
- 26:11baked
- 26:12in
- 26:12to
- 26:12the
- 26:12God
- 26:13question
- 26:13that
- 26:13aren't
- 26:14present
- 26:14for
- 26:14you.
- 26:15And
- 26:15I.
- 26:16I
- 26:16don't
- 26:16know
- 26:16if
- 26:16that
- 26:17makes
- 26:17sense,
- 26:17but
- 26:17that's.
- 26:18I
- 26:18think
- 26:18that.
- 26:18I
- 26:19think
- 26:19that's
- 26:19part
- 26:19of
- 26:19the
- 26:19disconnect.
- 26:20Yeah,
- 26:21well,
- 26:21that's.
- 26:22To
- 26:22me,
- 26:22that's
- 26:22why
- 26:23I
- 26:23think
- 26:23story
- 26:24is
- 26:24so
- 26:24powerful.
- 26:24Right.
- 26:25Because,
- 26:25like,
- 26:25as
- 26:26soon
- 26:26as
- 26:26I
- 26:26say
- 26:26God
- 26:27being
- 26:27controlling
- 26:27isn't
- 26:27loving,
- 26:28a
- 26:28lot
- 26:28of
- 26:28people
- 26:28are
- 26:28defensive
- 26:29and
- 26:29they're
- 26:29going
- 26:29to
- 26:29push
- 26:29back
- 26:29and
- 26:30argue
- 26:30back,
- 26:30whatever.
- 26:30But
- 26:31I
- 26:31could
- 26:31show
- 26:31them
- 26:31that
- 26:31TV
- 26:32show

- 26:34good
- 26:34or
- 26:35bad?
- 26:35And
- 26:36it's
- 26:36a
- 26:36lot.
- 26:37People
- 26:37have
- 26:37a
- 26:37lot
- 26:37more
- 26:37freedom
- 26:38to
- 26:38really
- 26:38address
- 26:39whether

- 26:39not
- 26:39that
- 26:39is
- 26:40good
- 26:40or
- 26:40bad.
- 26:40And
- 26:41then
- 26:41I
- 26:41think,
- 26:41okay,
- 26:42once
- 26:42we
- 26:42settle
- 26:42that
- 26:43and
- 26:43you're
- 26:43saying

- 26:50Right.
- 26:50So
- 26:51that's
- 26:51why
- 26:51I
- 26:51think
- 26:51it's
- 26:51helpful
- 26:52to
- 26:52start
- 26:52with
- 26:52story.
- 26:52In

- 26:58I
- 26:58just

- 27:01on
- 27:02a
- 27:02different
- 27:02part
- 27:02of
- 27:02the
- 27:03question.
- 27:03I
- 27:03guess
- 27:04when
- 27:05Mr.
- 27:05Purple
- 27:05stopped
- 27:06the
- 27:06climb
- 27:08up
- 27:08until
- 27:08the
- 27:08part
- 27:08that
- 27:09he
- 27:09tried
- 27:09to
- 27:09get
- 27:09the
- 27:09guy
- 27:09to
- 27:09kill
- 27:10himself,
- 27:10I
- 27:10think
- 27:10we'll
- 27:10all
- 27:10agree
- 27:11forcing
- 27:12someone
- 27:12to
- 27:12kill
- 27:12himself
- 27:12is
- 27:12bad.
- 27:14Is
- 27:14what
- 27:14he
- 27:14did
- 27:15good.
- 27:15He
- 27:15controlled
- 27:16a
- 27:16bunch
- 27:16of
- 27:16people.
- 27:17He
- 27:17forced
- 27:18them
- 27:18to
- 27:18let
- 27:19the
- 27:19hostages
- 27:19go.
- 27:19They
- 27:20didn't
- 27:20have
- 27:20a
- 27:20choice,
- 27:21so
- 27:21he
- 27:21took
- 27:21their
- 27:21choice
- 27:22away.
- 27:23But
- 27:23the
- 27:23hostages
- 27:24were
- 27:24freed.
- 27:25Yeah.
- 27:26So
- 27:26I.
- 27:26I
- 27:27would
- 27:27say
- 27:28that
- 27:28perhaps
- 27:29that
- 27:29situation
- 27:30was
- 27:30good.
- 27:31But
- 27:31what
- 27:32I
- 27:32take
- 27:32issue
- 27:32with
- 27:33would
- 27:33be
- 27:33this.
- 27:34If
- 27:34Mr.
- 27:34Purple.
- 27:35So,
- 27:35like,
- 27:35now
- 27:36I'm
- 27:36taking
- 27:36it
- 27:36out
- 27:37of
- 27:37just
- 27:37that
- 27:37situation
- 27:38and
- 27:39pushing
- 27:39it
- 27:39up
- 27:39to
- 27:39the
- 27:40register
- 27:41of
- 27:41God.
- 27:42If
- 27:43Mr.
- 27:43Purple
- 27:44could
- 27:44prevent
- 27:45all
- 27:46cases
- 27:46of
- 27:46crime
- 27:47at
- 27:47all
- 27:47times,
- 27:48not
- 27:48just
- 27:48the
- 27:49one,
- 27:49and
- 27:49chooses
- 27:50not
- 27:50to,
- 27:51I
- 27:51think
- 27:52that
- 27:52puts
- 27:52Mr.
- 27:53Purple
- 27:54on
- 27:54the
- 27:54hook,
- 27:55so
- 27:55to
- 27:55speak,
- 27:56for
- 27:56the
- 27:56crimes.
- 27:57And
- 27:57so
- 27:57if
- 27:57he
- 27:58presented
- 27:58in
- 27:58that
- 27:59one
- 27:59spot,
- 28:00okay,
- 28:00that
- 28:00was
- 28:00good.
- 28:01But
- 28:01if
- 28:01Mr.
- 28:02Purple
- 28:02didn't
- 28:02continue
- 28:03to
- 28:03do
- 28:03that,
- 28:04I
- 28:04would
- 28:04take
- 28:04issue
- 28:05with
- 28:05it.
- 28:05And
- 28:06so
- 28:06I
- 28:06think
- 28:06when
- 28:06it
- 28:06gets
- 28:06pushed
- 28:07out
- 28:07to
- 28:07God,
- 28:08it's
- 28:08the
- 28:08same
- 28:08problem
- 28:09for
- 28:09me.
- 28:09If
- 28:10God
- 28:10could
- 28:11prevent
- 28:11genuine
- 28:12suffering
- 28:12and
- 28:12evil
- 28:13in
- 28:13the
- 28:13world
- 28:14and
- 28:14only
- 28:14does
- 28:15it
- 28:15sometimes
- 28:16and
- 28:16not
- 28:16every
- 28:17time,
- 28:17I
- 28:18think
- 28:18that
- 28:18makes
- 28:18God
- 28:19liable
- 28:19for
- 28:20the
- 28:20instances
- 28:21when
- 28:21God
- 28:21chooses
- 28:22not
- 28:22to
- 28:23prevent
- 28:23those
- 28:23things.
- 28:24So
- 28:25it
- 28:25might
- 28:25be
- 28:25good
- 28:25in
- 28:25that
- 28:25moment,
- 28:26but
- 28:26if
- 28:26you
- 28:26expand
- 28:27it,
- 28:27then
- 28:27I
- 28:27have
- 28:28a
- 28:28problem.
- 28:28So.

- 30:33Purple
- 30:33to
- 30:33me.
- 30:34Okay.
- 30:35And
- 30:36that
- 30:36difference

- 30:39think
- 30:39that
- 30:40God
- 30:40is
- 30:40omnipresent.
- 30:41And
- 30:41so
- 30:41God

- 30:45potential
- 30:46evil

- 30:48present,
- 30:49if
- 30:49that
- 30:50God
- 30:50was
- 30:50omnipotent,
- 30:51if
- 30:51that

- 31:34away,
- 31:34he's
- 31:35still
- 31:35doing
- 31:35something
- 31:35bad

- 31:46And
- 31:46by
- 31:46that
- 31:47I
- 31:47mean.
- 31:48By
- 31:48that
- 31:49I
- 31:49mean
- 31:50when
- 31:50we
- 31:50have
- 31:51a
- 31:51scenario
- 31:51that's
- 31:52not
- 31:52realistic,
- 31:53in
- 31:54other
- 31:54words,
- 31:55this
- 31:56scenario
- 31:56has
- 31:56a
- 31:57person
- 31:57who's
- 31:57controlling
- 31:58other
- 31:58people,
- 31:59and
- 31:59I
- 31:59don't
- 31:59think
- 31:59that's
- 32:00ever
- 32:00possible
- 32:00at
- 32:00any
- 32:01time,
- 32:01then
- 32:02that's
- 32:02speculating
- 32:03on
- 32:03something
- 32:03that's,
- 32:04you
- 32:04know,
- 32:05it's
- 32:05not
- 32:05going
- 32:05to
- 32:06be
- 32:06get
- 32:06us
- 32:06anywhere
- 32:07because
- 32:07it's
- 32:07like
- 32:08a
- 32:08unicorn
- 32:08or
- 32:08a
- 32:09mermaid
- 32:09in
- 32:09a
- 32:09race.
- 32:10Well,
- 32:10here's
- 32:11why
- 32:11I
- 32:11think
- 32:11it's
- 32:11important,
- 32:12because
- 32:12I
- 32:13think
- 32:13if
- 32:13we
- 32:13can
- 32:13pin
- 32:14that
- 32:14down
- 32:14and
- 32:14say,
- 32:16yes,
- 32:16it
- 32:16was
- 32:16good
- 32:17because
- 32:17the
- 32:17outcome
- 32:18was
- 32:18good,
- 32:18then
- 32:19that
- 32:19brings
- 32:19a
- 32:19lot
- 32:19of
- 32:19questions
- 32:20to
- 32:20okay,
- 32:21so
- 32:21if
- 32:21God
- 32:21knows
- 32:21the
- 32:21future,
- 32:22the
- 32:22outcome
- 32:22is
- 32:22going
- 32:22to
- 32:22be
- 32:23good.
- 32:23That
- 32:23means
- 32:23everything
- 32:24he
- 32:24does
- 32:24must
- 32:24be
- 32:24good.
- 32:25But
- 32:25if
- 32:25we
- 32:25pin
- 32:25it
- 32:26down
- 32:26and
- 32:26say
- 32:27the
- 32:27act
- 32:27was
- 32:27bad
- 32:28because
- 32:28he
- 32:28was
- 32:28taking
- 32:28choice
- 32:29away,
- 32:29even
- 32:29though
- 32:30the
- 32:30outcome
- 32:30was
- 32:30good,
- 32:31that
- 32:31would
- 32:32suggest
- 32:32that
- 32:32God
- 32:33can't
- 32:34just
- 32:34be
- 32:34good
- 32:35because
- 32:35the
- 32:35outcome
- 32:35might
- 32:36be
- 32:36good
- 32:36in
- 32:36the
- 32:36end.
- 32:37But
- 32:38that's
- 32:38where
- 32:38Josh's
- 32:39answer
- 32:39comes
- 32:39in,
- 32:40which
- 32:40I
- 32:41agree
- 32:41entirely
- 32:41with.
- 32:42Josh
- 32:42said,
- 32:43well,
- 32:43if
- 32:43he
- 32:44could
- 32:44take
- 32:44away
- 32:45freedom
- 32:46sometimes
- 32:47and
- 32:47doesn't
- 32:48do
- 32:48it
- 32:48all
- 32:48the
- 32:49time
- 32:49to
- 32:49prevent
- 32:49evil,
- 32:50then
- 32:50he's
- 32:50asleep
- 32:51on
- 32:51the
- 32:51job.
- 32:51He's
- 32:51not
- 32:52perfectly
- 32:52good.
- 32:53So
- 32:53I
- 32:54would
- 32:54go
- 32:54with
- 32:54Josh's
- 32:55answer
- 32:55there.
- 32:55Okay,

- 33:11a

- 33:11Taoist,
- 33:12I
- 33:12don't
- 33:12know,
- 33:12we'll
- 33:12see.
- 33:14But
- 33:15so.
- 33:15So
- 33:15for
- 33:15me,
- 33:16just
- 33:16kind
- 33:16of
- 33:16like
- 33:16my
- 33:16own,
- 33:17I
- 33:17guess,
- 33:18ontological
- 33:18view
- 33:19of
- 33:19God
- 33:19maybe,
- 33:20you
- 33:21know,
- 33:21I'm
- 33:21thinking
- 33:22from
- 33:22the
- 33:22wisdom
- 33:23of
- 33:23the
- 33:23Taoist
- 33:23tradition
- 33:24of
- 33:24like
- 33:25this
- 33:25harmony,
- 33:25the
- 33:25thing
- 33:25that
- 33:26connects
- 33:26us
- 33:26all.
- 33:26And
- 33:26to
- 33:27me,
- 33:27like
- 33:27God
- 33:27is
- 33:28that
- 33:28thing.
- 33:28But
- 33:28also
- 33:29from
- 33:29the
- 33:29Christian
- 33:29tradition,
- 33:29I
- 33:30still
- 33:30think
- 33:30I
- 33:30can
- 33:30commune
- 33:31with
- 33:31the
- 33:32harmony
- 33:32itself.
- 33:33So
- 33:33I
- 33:33think
- 33:34both
- 33:34the
- 33:34thing
- 33:34that
- 33:34connects
- 33:35us
- 33:35all
- 33:35as
- 33:35well
- 33:35as
- 33:36this
- 33:37entity
- 33:37that
- 33:37I
- 33:37am
- 33:37able
- 33:38to
- 33:38converse
- 33:38with.
- 33:40And
- 33:41just
- 33:41to
- 33:41pile
- 33:41on
- 33:42things,
- 33:42I'm
- 33:43not
- 33:43convinced
- 33:44that
- 33:44time
- 33:44is
- 33:44real.
- 33:45What
- 33:45I
- 33:45know
- 33:45is
- 33:45real
- 33:46is
- 33:46each
- 33:46moment
- 33:46I'm
- 33:46given.
- 33:47So
- 33:47I'm
- 33:47not
- 33:48guaranteed
- 33:48the
- 33:49outcome
- 33:49of
- 33:49any
- 33:49decision.
- 33:50So
- 33:50I
- 33:51would
- 33:51say
- 33:52that
- 33:53any
- 33:53one
- 33:53act
- 33:54taking
- 33:54choice
- 33:55away,
- 33:55you
- 33:56know,
- 33:56voting
- 33:56for
- 33:57someone
- 33:57with
- 33:57guilty
- 33:58of
- 33:58sexual
- 33:58assault,
- 33:58whatever,
- 33:59it
- 33:59does
- 33:59not
- 34:00matter
- 34:00what
- 34:00the
- 34:00outcome
- 34:00is.
- 34:01What
- 34:01you
- 34:01did
- 34:02in
- 34:02that
- 34:02moment
- 34:02was
- 34:02still
- 34:03wrong.
- 34:03So
- 34:04I
- 34:04think
- 34:04the
- 34:04act
- 34:04itself
- 34:05matters
- 34:05regardless
- 34:06of
- 34:06the
- 34:06outcome.
- 34:07So
- 34:07to
- 34:07me,
- 34:07taking
- 34:08their
- 34:08choice
- 34:08away,
- 34:09even
- 34:09though
- 34:09people
- 34:09got
- 34:10freedom,
- 34:10were
- 34:10saved,
- 34:11taking
- 34:11people's
- 34:12choice
- 34:12away
- 34:12was
- 34:12still
- 34:13wrong
- 34:13in
- 34:13that
- 34:14instance.
- 34:15That
- 34:16would
- 34:16just
- 34:16be
- 34:16kind
- 34:16of
- 34:16how
- 34:16I
- 34:17look
- 34:17at
- 34:17it.
- 34:17The
- 34:18outcome
- 34:18can
- 34:18be
- 34:18good
- 34:18without
- 34:19the
- 34:19action
- 34:19being
- 34:19good.
- 34:20I
- 34:20guess
- 34:20would
- 34:20be
- 34:20another
- 34:21way
- 34:21of
- 34:21working
- 34:21that
- 34:21that's
- 34:22less
- 34:22complicated.
- 34:24Yeah.
- 34:24In
- 34:24ethics,
- 34:25this
- 34:25is
- 34:25a
- 34:25debate
- 34:26on
- 34:26whether
- 34:26or
- 34:26not
- 34:27actions
- 34:27are
- 34:27good
- 34:28based
- 34:28on
- 34:28their
- 34:28consequences
- 34:29or
- 34:29their
- 34:29motives.
- 34:30And
- 34:31I'm
- 34:31in
- 34:31the
- 34:31camp
- 34:31that
- 34:32thinks
- 34:32that
- 34:32motives
- 34:33are
- 34:33more
- 34:33important
- 34:33than
- 34:34consequences.
- 34:35But
- 34:36the
- 34:36motive
- 34:37has
- 34:37to
- 34:37be
- 34:37for
- 34:37good
- 34:38consequences.
- 34:39So
- 34:39consequences
- 34:39still
- 34:40matter.
- 34:40It's
- 34:40just
- 34:40that
- 34:41the
- 34:41motive
- 34:41is
- 34:42for
- 34:42good
- 34:42consequences.
- 34:43So
- 34:43if
- 34:44I
- 34:44do
- 34:44something
- 34:45out
- 34:45of
- 34:45love
- 34:46for
- 34:46my
- 34:46wife
- 34:47that
- 34:47ends
- 34:47in
- 34:47disaster
- 34:48and
- 34:48harms
- 34:49people,
- 34:49I
- 34:50wouldn't
- 34:50say
- 34:50I
- 34:50did
- 34:51evil
- 34:51because
- 34:51my
- 34:51motives
- 34:52were
- 34:52good.
- 34:53On
- 34:53the
- 34:53other
- 34:54hand,
- 34:54if
- 34:54I
- 34:55try
- 34:55to
- 34:55hurt
- 34:56somebody
- 34:56but
- 34:56accidentally
- 34:57help
- 34:57them,
- 34:58I
- 34:58wouldn't
- 34:58say
- 34:58I'm
- 34:58loving
- 34:59because
- 34:59I
- 35:00had
- 35:00bad
- 35:00motives
- 35:01and
- 35:01they
- 35:01ended
- 35:01up
- 35:01having
- 35:01good
- 35:02consequences.
- 35:03So
- 35:03I'm
- 35:03with
- 35:03you
- 35:03on
- 35:04there,
- 35:04but

- 39:23about.
- 39:23With

- 39:23you

- 39:31Because.
- 39:32Whatever.
- 39:33And
- 39:33I'll
- 39:33go
- 39:33back
- 39:33to
- 39:33Mr.
- 39:34Purple
- 39:34because
- 39:34again,
- 39:34I
- 39:34think
- 39:35it's
- 39:35easier.
- 39:35We
- 39:36see
- 39:36that
- 39:36he
- 39:37is
- 39:37incapable
- 39:37of
- 39:38love
- 39:38and
- 39:38that
- 39:38defines
- 39:38his
- 39:39character
- 39:39because
- 39:40every
- 39:40time
- 39:40he
- 39:41speaks,
- 39:41people
- 39:41are
- 39:41controlled.
- 39:42So
- 39:42he's
- 39:42not
- 39:42able
- 39:42to
- 39:43be
- 39:43in
- 39:43an
- 39:43open
- 39:43relationship.
- 39:45See

- 39:46But
- 39:48because
- 39:49of
- 39:49that,
- 39:49that
- 39:49defines
- 39:49who
- 39:49he
- 39:50is
- 39:50because
- 39:50that's
- 39:50his
- 39:50relationship
- 39:51to
- 39:51everyone
- 39:51else.
- 39:52So
- 39:52I
- 39:52think
- 39:53that's
- 39:53true
- 39:53of
- 39:53each
- 39:53of
- 39:54us.
- 39:54So
- 39:54I

- 40:02right?
- 40:02Because
- 40:03he
- 40:03is
- 40:03love.
- 40:04And
- 40:05I
- 40:05think
- 40:05if
- 40:05you
- 40:05don't
- 40:06get
- 40:06something
- 40:07right
- 40:07about

- 40:08relationship
- 40:08to
- 40:08you,
- 40:09it's

- 40:16here.
- 40:17So
- 40:18I
- 40:18think
- 40:18it's
- 40:18important
- 40:19for
- 40:19us
- 40:19to
- 40:19understand,

- 40:21it
- 40:21wouldn't
- 40:21really

- 41:28actually
- 41:28a
- 41:28pretty
- 41:28radical
- 41:29idea.
- 41:29I
- 41:29think
- 41:30it's
- 41:30pretty
- 41:30biblical,
- 41:31but
- 41:32it's
- 41:32not

- 41:34Christian
- 41:34theologians
- 41:35have
- 41:35thought
- 41:35throughout

- 41:37Why
- 41:37did
- 41:38they
- 41:38say
- 41:38that

- 41:40For

- 41:41Yeah,
- 41:42they
- 41:42were
- 41:42really

- 41:44a
- 41:44God
- 41:44who
- 41:45was
- 41:45affected
- 41:46by
- 41:46creation
- 41:47could
- 41:48be
- 41:48influenced
- 41:48to
- 41:49be
- 41:49bad,
- 41:50to
- 41:50be
- 41:50less
- 41:50than
- 41:51perfect.
- 41:51They
- 41:51wanted
- 41:52a
- 41:52God
- 41:52who
- 41:52is
- 41:53in
- 41:53all
- 41:53ways
- 41:54unchanging
- 41:55and
- 41:55unaffected
- 41:56because
- 41:56they
- 41:56thought
- 41:57any
- 41:57effect
- 41:58from
- 41:58a
- 41:58sinful
- 41:58world
- 41:59or
- 41:59just
- 41:59anything
- 42:00less
- 42:00than
- 42:00perfect
- 42:01would
- 42:01make
- 42:02God
- 42:02less
- 42:02than
- 42:02perfect.
- 42:03And
- 42:03they
- 42:03didn't
- 42:03realize
- 42:04that
- 42:04they
- 42:04could
- 42:05affirm
- 42:05God's
- 42:06perfect
- 42:06nature
- 42:07of
- 42:07love,
- 42:08but
- 42:08also
- 42:08have
- 42:09a
- 42:09God

- 42:10perfectly
- 42:10changes
- 42:11and
- 42:11is
- 42:12influenced.
- 42:12But
- 42:13yeah,
- 42:13that's
- 42:13a
- 42:14major
