"shouldn't the scripture be.." Stop right there. God doesn't adjust his word to mold to us. We need to adjust ourselves to mold to Him. Btw just wanna be clear- I still think Joel Osteen sadly preaches a false gospel and I do not agree with his theology
Morgan is right Christ Teachings are meant to move with the times. That why He taught in parable so they transcend a time, place and socio-economic setting. However homosexuality is not a new phenomenon, it existed in Bible times (sodom n gomorrah). This type of relationship is not accepted because it goes against the blessing given to mankind in the Garden of Eden which is to be fruitful n Multiply, like everything else God created. N homosexual relationship cannot bring about multiplication. Since natural instinct is too survive, human being are not being natural if they do things that will end thier species, even Richard Dawkins talks about the selfish gene which allows species to ensure thier survival. Why is the greater population bei g forced to accept something unnatural.
Until we start taking Jesus seriously by loving our enemies and giving all to the poor and [as St. Paul commands] "holding all things in common then maybe Jesus’ Kingdom of God will be lived in ON EARTH [as it is in Heaven].
It's because this particular sin is celebrated and promoted in the world. Also it's the end times so people are naturally going to focus on these types of subjects.
To me, this is just their way of trying to squeeze it in. Meaning, any person who is gay and/or any person who supports homosexuality can find out what the bible really says about this. If man is willing to make medicine to keep the HIV virus at bay because homosexuals want to sleep 😴 together, then you know that this is a sickness that man wants to live in and keep alive.
That's what I believe will happen as a result. All they have to do is challenge anyone who says that it's an abomination. They're too afraid to get the truth by reading the word. They would rather dig excuses on why they should continue to remain a homosexual.
Until it's mistranslated by a gay man in the 1600s Did King James have relationships with men? King James I of England (1566 - 1625) Young as “the most prominent homosexual figure in the early modern period.” Married to Anne of Denmark, James is thought to have had relationships with several male courtiers - most notably, George Villiers, whom he made the Earl and later the Duke of Buckingham.
I was thinking the same thing!!! He always seems to "lean" toward not offending people and this time he kinda stood on the correct path. I stopped watching him when some one asked Joel "is Jesus the only way to heaven? What about all the other religions are they going to Hell?" And Joel said something like, all paths lead to a better place and punishment" Joel absolutely denied the teaching of the scripture. Adrian Roger's said to the president of the United States this answer "my very own son will go to Hell and face judgment is he doesn't ask Jesus into his life"
@@michaelfourie345 Sounds like you're referring to old testament law when men achieved salvation through good works BEFORE Christ died and shed his blood to pay the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. After Jesus did this the new testament began and Christians now gain salvation through the grace of God and no longer must we perform good works to achieve salvation nor do we follow the old testament laws any longer. Please read God's word so that you are better educated in the future because the Bible teaches us these things so there is no need for these type of questions when God has already answered them through His word.

Well all people are sinners since the beginning of their lives, in order to be cleanse you have to put your trust and faith and follow Jesus thats when you are saved from that sin. He is the one who can free you from the sins of this world. Remember he is the way the truth and life, no one comes to the father except through him.

Osteen surprisingly spoke accurately in this very brief clip. But Osteen is a notorious slippery fish on many an important Biblical topic, so much so that Bible believing Christians find him greatly dis-ingenious upon examination. Osteen preaches a prosperity gospel and his life is evident of that belief. He has his reward now as he lives in his mega mansion. There’s been studies on his sermons. Osteen doesn’t hardly ever preach about sin and proper repentance. He uses his pulpit to promote positive feelings and his prosperity gospel scheme (the selling of his get rich in this life marketing books). And since most of his revenue comes from his book sales, he feels exonerated to live a life of the wealthy. He has his mansion on earth now, not much need shown in his action towards storing up treasure in heaven, when he’s already got the treasure on Earth.
JohnnyDaved actually it’s not from god if man has to write it and not god and for god to not preserve his writings and in fact didn’t write it in different languages because not doing so leaves room for wrong interpretation. 50,000 denomination shouldn’t exist amongst them and Bible books are missing and many canonized because it didn’t fit their agenda.

I appreciate that, Rev. Dr. Okemba. Religion is fine, except when it isn't. Christians should stop preaching heresies and blasphemies about homosexuality, as the scriptures addressing it have a CONTEXT. Without it, one "tells the truth while telling lies" (my quote). To understand the “men sleeping with men” (MSWM), and related scriptures, two analogies are helpful: 1. “An ax murder isn’t about the ax.” 2. There’s a “distinction with a difference” between “homosexuality & homosexual,” and, “heterosexuality & heterosexual,” each one. It’s why homosexuals often have children the old-fashioned way (heterosexuality), and incarcerated heterosexuals often have sexual relations with their sex (homosexuality), for example. With context we’d learn: Why heterosexual men are their exclusive focus; why women play a tangential role; why Ancient Greek custom, and Ancient Roman law, condoned male homosexuality under certain conditions; why death was proscribed for practicing it under limited circumstances; why the biblical references to “man’s inhospitality to man” includes heterosexual males illicitly “knowing” men and women (“carnal knowledge”/rape); why the prophets were concerned about homosexuality; why beginning in the 12th century the Roman Catholic Church started falsely teaching that the Sodom & Gomorrah story was about homosexuals; why neither the word ABOMINATION, nor any term as harsh, is in the original Biblical documents, which were written in Classical Biblical Hebrew, Ancient Aramaic and, in its first translation, in Kione Greek. Etc. Understanding those specific scriptures requires knowing something about those languages, the problems of translation, literary devices, the history of sexuality in the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, and the Ancient Roman World --- the areas in which the anthology of biblical stories take place, and the biological prerogatives of human sexuality. Theologians, ministers, and lay people must do the demanding work to discern truth. With due respect.

He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[a] of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder-offering to draw attention to wrongdoing. 16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”- 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse-“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[b] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.” “‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.” 23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[c] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children. 29 “‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.’”

When Joel Osteen and the rest of his fellow cherry-picking, buybull thumping hypocrites are going to condemn adulterers with as much hate, as much vocal noise as they do against homosexuals. For the bible? Also gives the same death penalty punishment for adulterers as it does for homosexuals and the bible? Actually condemns adultery a hundred verses to each single verse against homosexuality. And another interesting thing is? Jesus never ONCE spoke against homosexuality, but he sure did against adultery now didn't he? But you would not know this with the lack of condemnation by Christians against adultery. Maybe it is because? They all have huge logs in their eyes because they are adulterers, or supporters and defenders of adulterers, like say Donald J Trump while they scream about the motes in the eyes of homosexuality.

@@stevemclendsy9478 I know what you are implying. That because God supposedly wrote an Old and New Testament, that His word is somehow supposed to float along and change with the world. But the world belongs to Satan (until Armageddon), and Satan wants every single one of us to die in sin and not accept God as the ultimate authority, and be condemned. But God's word and righteous decrees never change and it is impossible for God to lie. God didn't create the New Testament, man did. All of it, the Christian-Greek scriptures (Old Testament) and the Hebrew scriptures (New Testament) are all God's word, and everything fits and supports the early and the newer scriptures. Roman's 1:26-32, which condemns those who practice homosexuality, among all other egregious sins, to DEATH, is in the so-called New Testament. Same with Romans 5:12 from the so-called New Testament... That is why, just as through one man (Adam), sin entered into the world and death thru sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned. This is a direct connection, making reference to Genesis in the so-called Old Testament, where Adam and Eve, who were perfect human creations of God, and who would have lived forever on Earth had they not sinned. They CHOSE to disobey a direct command from God to NOT eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad, and the penalty was the loss of perfection and eventual death because Eve believed the first recorded lie from Satan, when he said... you positively will not die, instead of God, and Adam believed his wife instead of God. They both started to die on the same day that God pronounced Judgement on them. Adam and Eve sinned and were banished from the Garden of Eden before they had any children, so sin and death spread through all their offspring, right down to this day. That's why we grow old and die. God's Kingdom is the cure and we can get there if we accept Jesus as God's son today while there is still time, and whose perfect blood bought back the perfection for sinful mankind that Adam lost, and repent so as to get our sins blotted out, and enter God's Kingdom on a restored paradise Earth, either thru surviving Armageddon or being resurrected if we die before Armageddon. Either way, we are saved and written into The Book of Life, provided that we accept Jesus as the way and the truth and the life that reconciles us back to God, and repent and cease from practicing sins, and we will be able to enter God's Kingdom and live forever on a paradise Earth. Psalm 37:10, 11, 29 Giving up disgusting sexual acts today in order to live forever, is a small price to pay.

Prosperty gospel teachers promoting homophobia makes complete sense. Beeing a good Christian means to aid the weak, and yes this requires sacrifaces and makes you poorer. But by chasing the homosexuals one can "proof" to others that one is a good Christian without sacrificing anything yourself. God please protect us from the loveless and the greedy.

@@freddie171 Hebrews 13, in context of "brotherly love"(relationship SPECIFICALLY between MALES), marriage is honorable unto all and that only whoredom and adultery defile the bed. Paul mirrors this in Romans 12, where he literally says it is honorable to prefer one another in brotherly love. Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Also supported in 1 Tim 4, where Paul warns against searing the conscience of each other and forbidding marriage. The law concerning who can make a vow with who, states that you(law addresses men) can make a vow with a male or female, so long as they aren't prostitutes. Hence why only adultery and whoredom defile the bed. There is zero scripture condemning homosexuality anywhere. Unless you judge ignorantly by appearances, which false "Christian" apologetics seems advocate. All their apologetic nonsense actually surrounds whoredom to false gods, and not an actual homosexual relationship of any sort.

Like literally to me they only reject homosexuality and turn it done because everyone else wants them too and because their followers and society frowns upon it and it’s labeled as “uncool & not right” so they have to be against it too because everyone else is against it and no! Lol no that’s not how it works. You can’t pick and choose what to be and not to be progressive with.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. *Hebrews 13:8* Either someone follows the Bible or they don't. That is _your_ choice, and I will support your right for that choice til the day I pass on. However, it is not right for you to demand others believe the same way you do to "get with the times." The Bible is clear on what is sinful and what isn't. However, we're all sinners is what you may not understand. You get to Heaven based on faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Period, that is it. There is no disqualification as long as you meet that criteria.
Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8 declare that God is the same always and never ever changes. He is always good, always loving, always all-powerful. No matter how this world changes around us, we can trust God is consistent. He is the same yesterday, today, and Forever!

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Well said you where bold for God Joel Osteen❤ DO NOT FEAR MEN BUT GOD ; OUR SAVIOR Matthew 10:27-28 27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell
Good for you Mr. Osteen. Gods word never changes and it’s right there in the Bible for everyone to see. When you stick to the Scriptures you will always be right.
Kate Armstrong yes, it is people who change Gods words to fit their bias, God judges ALL SIN The Law 👉“And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.” Luke 16:17 KJV 👉“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.” Romans 3:19 KJV 👉“Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:20 KJV 👉“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” Galatians 2:16 KJV 👉“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2 KJV 👉“But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.” Galatians 5:18 KJV 👉“Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.” Galatians 3:21 KJV 👉“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” Romans 3:28 KJV
He is, but has been rewritten over thousand of times. By men who wanted to out words how they wanted the only thing that stayed the same was love for all.
""'If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." - lev 20:13
Yes’m God didn’t say that himself! That’s not the words of your all loving god who says thou shall not kill!! The man who wrote that bible chapter wrote that! That’s barbaric and evil in itself to kill people who were your creation and break your own commandment if you were god! That’s why some of us know that all written in the Bible book is not to be lived by and is not even words from a God himself!
Lisa Love Ministries I know you believe everything in the Bible book but you have never seen proof that this hell place even exists because no one has ever come back after death to confirm it! Also, you have no proof that this God only created straight people at birth!
@AveolarD he is a fool in many aspects, and misguided man, who twists and distorts God's word, but I almost fell off my chair when I heard him say what he said.
That man was teetering big time with answering that question as is plain to see. He stated he doesn’t fault others for thinking different on it...what?!
Unfortunately Roshan, we can not pick and choose to believe portions of the Bible; we need to believe ALL of it. We believe all of the Bible because in it God tells us that he loves us sinful human beings so very much that he sent His Son Jesus to live, suffer, die and rise for us so that we could be with him in heaven. That is why God tells us that his words “are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). Have a blessed day.

Funny, I like to ask "what makes us think modern sexual practices are progressive?" Actually they are totally REGRESSIVE, back to the days of pederasty, orgies and hermaphroditism as described variously in the royal courts of Philip of Macedon, Anthony and Cleopatra, and Caligula. Refraining from such behaviour, requiring that humanity rise above our base animal lusts and passions, IS canonical progress.
Just as an FYI, just because I agree with what he said to be biblically correct, doesn't mean I agree with his teachings, which I believe to be heresy. If you don't know by now he's a false prophet, you're in bad shape.
@@iceman45ification1 your all going to find that God don't defend the Bible, it's been twisted, it's a carved wooden image, we are to adhere to every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, just ask FATHER if he defends the book every one claims he wrote, I guess he dictated to the scribes and pharasees as to what knowledge was released... Jesus said that you live where Satan dwells none of you believed him...but claim to be saved from being where you are
Scripture doesn't need updating, reimagining, modernising or any other nonsense. It remains what it always was, is and will be. The eternal word and truth of God.
@Charisma 101 You're going to sit here and tell me it's ok and ethical to go around preaching god and jesus and buy a 10,000,000 home with that money? I have a huge log in my eye and joel has a whole tree in his. Yeah, I judge because I think what I see is wrong!!! Have you seen that video with kenneth copeland saying god want's him to have 54 million dollar private jet? That's some bullshit dude!! HAHAHAHA...Yeah, I judge especially with con men like this. Fuck you 'charisma' eat my ass!! Just remember what jesus did when they turned his temple into a market place.......
Scripture,,ha,what a joke. People actually believe that fiction printed in the big comic book. The bible is a fucking joke. Hey bible thumpin evangelicals,stick wit ur boy trump,hes so godlike. Fukn morons.
Timothy 2:12 "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet." By your own religious beliefs your opinion doesn't matter.
@@ericrivera8410 He doesn't expect that. Also he can and will. You should try reading it sometime if for no other reason to have a better prepared argument.
Amen, Rev. Dr. Davis. Religion is fine, except when it isn't. Christians should stop preaching heresies and blasphemies about homosexuality, as the scriptures addressing it have a CONTEXT. Without it, one "tells the truth while telling lies" (my quote). To understand the “men sleeping with men” (MSWM), and related scriptures, two analogies are helpful: 1. “An ax murder isn’t about the ax.” 2. There’s a “distinction with a difference” between “homosexuality & homosexual,” and, “heterosexuality & heterosexual,” each one. It’s why homosexuals often have children the old-fashioned way (heterosexuality), and incarcerated heterosexuals often have sexual relations with their sex (homosexuality), for example. With context we’d learn: Why heterosexual men are their exclusive focus; why women play a tangential role; why Ancient Greek custom, and Ancient Roman law, condoned male homosexuality under certain conditions; why death was proscribed for practicing it under limited circumstances; why the biblical references to “man’s inhospitality to man” includes heterosexual males illicitly “knowing” men and women (“carnal knowledge”/rape); why the prophets were concerned about homosexuality; why beginning in the 12th century the Roman Catholic Church started falsely teaching that the Sodom & Gomorrah story was about homosexuals; why neither the word ABOMINATION, nor any term as harsh, is in the original Biblical documents, which were written in Classical Biblical Hebrew, Ancient Aramaic and, in its first translation, in Kione Greek. Etc. Understanding those specific scriptures requires knowing something about those languages, the problems of translation, literary devices, the history of sexuality in the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, and the Ancient Roman World --- the areas in which the anthology of biblical stories take place, and the biological prerogatives of human sexuality. Theologians, ministers, and lay people must do the demanding work to discern truth. With due respect.
Pastors cherry pick Scripture all of the time. And, there is a lot of cherry picking that goes on around this issue. That having been said, he can believe and preach what he wants. And, he and other Televangelist will. They preach what will, in the end, put $$$ in their pockets. Homophobia and transphobia are rampant among Evangelicals. He is giving his followers what they want to hear. Also, he may be insecure enough in his manhood that he has to believe that God hates the LGBTQ Community and, therefore, they should be deprived of basic human rights.
@Charisma 101 Interesting that you are having trouble understanding.. Scripture IS Scripture. You could not understand that? The scriptures are for the past, the present and always. You should try being less negatively focused and more analytical and your comprehension would surely improve. One can not alter God's words to please peoples fads, predilection and sentiment of the day to recieve more members and more money. Peace to you...friend.
Yeah, and 2000 years later it still says that divorce and remarriage is a sin, and that you're going to hell for it. But they're preaching from the pulpit that it's ok. Now, I wonder WHY heterosexuals are doing that?!!
@@WarrenWazSanderson you don’t read the Bible I have. All sex out of marriage is sin period. And God says a marriage is a man and woman. Anything else is a deviation of Bible. Sex between 2 men is a sin. Sex between 2 women is a sin. Sex between a man and a woman is sin ( if there not married) I’m not single out homosexuality. Sex with animal is a sin.
@@ronbo30 it doesn't sound like you read The Bible. i have. you are claiming it says things it doesn't say which is itself blasphemy. The Bible, the Word of God, makes no reference to homosexuality or homosexual acts being a sin. God does not say that marriage cannot be between 2 adults of the same gender. yes fornication is a sin - but you cannot deny a person the right to mary and then blame them for having sex outside of marriage. in the same way you can't deny someone the right to make a living, to food and clothing etc and then blame them for stealing. read The Bible, find God. He does not support your prejudice
@@ronbo30 i am not deceived - if you believe that The Bible says things it does not say then it is YOU that is deceived. i hope that you read The Bible, find God, and turn away from your blasphemy and your prejudice. I hope you repent someday of this. 😢....
Joel bravo for not to be like some other Christian believers in the high position by derailing the subject but stood by the the truth of the word of God which will never change no matter how modern life can become. Bravo for your answer Joel.
Ken Wiggins II you gonna look so stupid when you go to heaven and figure out you’ve wasted your life. Following a book that’s be altered by people more than once to oppress anything that’s not the norm.
*My problem with the rainbow argument is that every reason they give to try and justify it can be used for every other sexual scenario too.* *Two consenting adults: Adultery is two consenting adults* *Found in the animal kingdom: Pedophilia and rape are found in the animal kingdom* *Not a choice: Necrophilia is a mental disorder therefore not a choice* *Can be safe of you use protection: Incest can be "safe" if you use protection.* *Love is love no matter who it is for: So if you want to love someone else's lover, it's all good?*

@@SRR-SRR erm..... Yes it is. Adultery is when someone cheats on their spouse. So yes, adultery is a choice, I have not heard of anyone accidentally falling on top of someone. If someone is forced it is called rape and not adultery.
true. joel osteen lies. rubbish. The Bible, the Word of God, makes no reference to homosexuality or homosexual acts being a sin. never did and never will
Have the scripture changed it's view about other sins? Let's take fornication, nobody has sex only after marriage anymore but you never heard people ask that to a pastor on TV why do people only focusing on homosexuality?
They do it for their advantage. 1 Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 1 Corinthians 2:4-6 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
@@user-hf3hy4jy5h Because gay marriage is out there, in everyone's face. I don't support gay rights, gay marriage, or anything else that begins with, "gay.". I am not a "homophobe," I am a Christian. Homosexuality and Christianity, as well as worshipping God, are mutually exclusive. Homosexuality is sin, and you can't worship God with sin in your heart.
Thought for the Day no not true my interpretation of the bible doesn't change for me I dont read the bible and it mean something on Monday then on Tuesday it means something different, peoples interpertaions are different from one to the other
Finally standing for God! Keep up the good work my friend. Your enemies will be plenty and you will finally get to fulfill the greatest command of all, love your enemies.
God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. He is still the same God and his word does not change, the fool has said in his heart there is no God. You can't change his word to gratify your desires.
if someone believes in a text written presumably thousands of years ago that has potentially been changed and edited at the whims of the powerful, they're the real fool.
sebKurry their are many things in history that have happened thousands of years ago that many people believe. The bible is history and if people chose to read it and believe it. Who are you to tell them not to ?
@@gemb7986 I never said they couldn't read or believe it. I said that calling non-believers fools is inconsistent given the origins of their own belief, especially since most non-believers who were previously religious reasoned their way to a conclusion instead of swallowing tradition whole.
sebKurry I believe non - believers are not fools. Because it’s human nature to question something we do not see or hear. But I feel like Christians shouldnt be frowned upon for believing something millions of people have been believing in for decades.
🤦♂️ Why do religious people keep quoting this - the bible is true because the bible says it's true. It's called circular logic, you can't use something to prove itself. Look up Kissing Hank's Ass. Anatomy lesson: The heart is a special muscle, a living pump. It's purpose is to circulate blood round the body via the blood vessels thereby distributing oxygen. No one says anything in their heart, thoughts form in the brain which sends signals to the muscles of the mouth and tongue and those affecting the voical chords via nerves. The heart being the seat of emotions originates in what you would call pagan mythology.
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." James 4:4
Thank you god for your everlasting unconditional love. I pray that god reveals himself to Joel. Once we can stop applying the word of another world that god has already cleansed and made new, we can do what we were all sent here to do.
Amen! For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." 1 Peter 2:24,25
