Summary
In the biblical worldview, the seed of the woman is justified and the seed of the serpent is not....When you read about some incident, or see some appalling footage on the tube, and you immediately start thinking in terms of approved and justified groups—congratulations, you’ve just been ejected from every sane jury pool. You were applying the categories of one realm to the other one, and the seed of the woman are always called to keep them distinct and separate.

| 0:10.0 | More needs to be said about the idea of cultural justification. |
| 0:14.0 | Apart from an understanding of this, there is no hope of grasping the deep divisions |
| 0:18.0 | that the debates over same-sex mirages are revealing. |
| 0:21.7 | Note that I did not say that these debates are creating these divisions, but rather that they are |
| 0:26.1 | revealing them. Same-sex mirage is the earthquake. Different approaches to cultural justification |
| 0:30.7 | are the tectonic plates. Justification is, of course, the theological category. For those who |
| 0:35.9 | are in Christ Jesus, there is no condemnation. |

| 0:53.0 | that new human race, he addresses |
| 0:54.9 | us to our face. All that righteousness, that goodness, that obedience is credited to us, imputed to |
| 1:00.6 | us, declared to be ours, and bestowed on us by a verdict grounded in the everlasting wisdom and |

| 1:10.2 | and a man can be outside it and be guilty be guilty of three murders, and a man can be |
| 1:11.3 | outside it and be guilty of none. Notice that there are two aspects to this. There is the status, |
| 1:16.8 | justified or not, and there are the standards which run alongside the justification, but are |
| 1:21.5 | not foundational to it. We are not justified by works, not in the biblical form of justification, |
| 1:26.9 | and not in the pagan knockoffs. |
| 1:29.1 | Works are always evaluated in the light of justification, not the other way around. |
