0:00.0	Yes, God, God. God don't never turn.
0:16.8	Welcome to the Plodcast, episode 60.
0:19.8	Can you believe it's been 60 times that we've done this. So I want to circle back around and
0:27.3	address something we've talked a little bit about before. I want to talk about the
0:31.3	Revoise conference but not really talking about the Revoise Conference, but not really talking about the Revoise Conference

0:36.4	I want to talk about one aspect of the argumentation that people use in defense of things like Re Voice.

1:46.0	devil. The world, the flesh, and the devil. Not two of those are from outside us.
1:50.8	The world is outside us and the devil is outside us. The flesh is not
1:55.5	outside us. The flesh is something we, the flesh is the gum on our shoe, the flesh goes around with us.
2:04.3	Adam, when he was tempted, was tempted by the world, and was tempted by the devil.
