0:00.0	I've gotten a question about the unpardonable sin. What is it? This lady who wrote in is afraid she may have committed it. What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? And what do you say to people who say we can't know history, therefore we can't know anything about Jesus.
0:29.5	I got another question that is basically asking ladies, should you marry someone based on love and not practical issues, like whether or not the potential husband can make a good living?
0:36.0	I also have a video, a short video or audio I want to play about
0:41.5	the intersex issue because apparently CNN thinks because there are intersex people out there,
0:49.5	there are more than two genders. We're going to get into all that today. But before I do, I want to mention that our
0:55.3	William and Mary event, which was snowed out. You know, we've had our first two events at college

2:00.7	there go to cross-examine.org.
2:03.9	Click on online courses. You will see it there. All right. Let me start with the first question
2:08.6	from Stephanie. She says, is it considered an unpardonable sin if I get intrusive thoughts or
2:15.7	thoughts that would pop out of fear and nervousness
2:19.5	with thoughts that are blasphemous that call Jesus or the Holy Spirit what the Pharisees did in
