  SPEAKER_00: Lot was greatly troubled by the morally bad lives of those evil people.

  SPEAKER_00: But these false teachers speak evil against what they don't understand.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: They're like animals that do things without really thinking, like wild animals that are born to be caught and killed.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: And like wild animals, they will be destroyed.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: They have made many people suffer, so they themselves will suffer.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: That is their pay for what they have done.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: They think it is fun to do evil where everyone can see them.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: They enjoy the evil things that please them.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: So they are like dirty spots and stains among you.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: They bring shame to you in the meals you eat together.

• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: But a donkey told him that he was doing wrong.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: A donkey cannot talk, of course, but that donkey spoke with a man's voice and stopped the prophet from acting so crazy.

  SPEAKER_00: These false teachers are like springs that have no water.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: They are like clouds that are blown by a storm.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: A place in the deepest darkness has been kept for them.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: They boast with words that mean nothing.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: They lead people into the trap of sin.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: They find people who have just escaped from a wrong way of life and led them back into sin.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: They do this by using the evil things people want to do in their human weaknesses.

  SPEAKER_00: They can be made free by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: But if they go back into those evil things and are controlled by them, then it is worse for them than it was before.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it would be better for them to have never known the right way.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: That would be better than to know the right way and to turn away from the holy teaching that was given to them.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: What they did is like these true sayings a dog vomits and goes back to what it threw up.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: And after a pig is washed, it goes back and rolls in the mud again.
