Thx for the post. Well said! So what , he sinned. We all do. Let’s not crucify him

@zalgrade yet you may appear to hate them for judging you as much as you are judging them. Quite ironic

False prophets

Charles Spurgeon! We need more of his preachings.

Truth.

Perfect

💯

Amen! Spurgeon is a wise teacher more need to read/listen to. Not these celebrity/worldly men who don't even preach the gospel but "feel good" sermons more akin to a motivational seminar or secular concert.

Brian Houston is a false teacher and needs to be called out.

For what it's worth, most conservative values are derived from Judeo-Christian teachings.

True that Anna,sadness is that people across the globe are looking up to the chruch,and bang,God gets the bad name because our bad habits,dragging the name of the church through the mud,thanks Anna

True. That should be the answer

This perverted in outlook or ideal That your religious fanaticism Seems to draw you people like a moth to a light It really is insane when you sit back and acknowledge the fact that you all are worshipping a vacuum

YUP THAT MAN IS STUPID

To be fair all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God..The point is to focus on the systemic erosion of the church into something more akin to A corporate business model

He without sin throw the first stone!!!

Hasn't Jesus taken care of sin? That's not an excuse but a sin should not be judge by anyone who sins themselves aka all of us. It's 110% not the responsibility of another man to call out or talk about another's shortcomings but to love them... There's no point scale in heaven friend

They dont ASK Almighty GOD ''show me the wicked way in my heart cuz I .love u God ''. they say -I want a prosperous perfect life =i want !!!! u r my puppet god . //// GOD FORBID .I HAVE A HARD TIME TYPING THAT .

I believe that

That’s biblically true, Matthew 19:30 “But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”

@@TheDrummerGamer yup🙌

God elevates strong leaders just as much as he does humble servants. There are a lot of “champions” that we know very well from the scriptures whom god loved very much as well.

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. That is enough for me.

Yup

I'm not a Christian, but I have to agree with you.

@@beeragainsthumanity1420 And that’s why people talk so bad about Christians. Who can blame them when it’s true.

YUP

@amanda copeland you hit the nail on the head! So so true, ppl need to stop idolising pastors. Stop putting them on pedestals. Whenever you put your faith in man you will always be disappointed.

That was a wise answer

Pastor B. was being an honest human. Don't steal it from its context. Simply put, it can be easier to give in and follow your flesh's passions, but following Jesus is worth it all. As one of their worship leaders/songwriters said, "faith's about becoming more like Jesus no matter what the cost."

@@kennysfdg471 wrong. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Heb 11:1. These 'leaders' in these churches are not educated on the word of God. Sanctification, rather, is God's work of conforming us to the image of Christ. Stop listening to these people who have no idea what they are talking about. and it is quite sad that he finds it 'unfortunate' because it just shows that he indeed does not desire to have that biblical view yet has to if he wants to keep the charade up.

@@samflatley4 Bruh, that's legit what I just said - just re-worded. How petty.

@@kennysfdg471 No it is not. You quoted ‘faith is about becoming more like Jesus no matter what the cost.’ This is not at all what faith is. That is sanctification, not faith. Totally different things :)

Also Houston just stepped down from Hillsong.

Serving God is more about obedience which in turn gets translated into perfection, its not about perfection from a human standpoint because that would be impossible. God doesn't expect from us hat only he can do.

So true!

Remember when British Houston was hiding the horrible allegations against his father...

And that’s why we got to stop putting our leaders on pedestals. They need to be accountable for their actions just like the flock must be...

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith

I'd encourage you to rethink this theology. The church started because of men being the head of it on earth (the Apostles). The key is "on earth." Your response is a typical legalistic argument to not have to submit to any authority. But Christ is clear that he's the head of the church in the ultimate sense, but he still uses his earthly leaders to guide it and build it. It was the point in Christ telling Peter that He would start to build his church on Peter's leadership (Matt 16:18). Paul was the head of the churches he planted, so were the other apostles that planted.

Yeah look& Scott Morrison who thinks he is the messiah! Doubt if he can perform miracles or walk on water!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you are describing Trump.

Especially their celebrity pastors.

Someone who walks in sin can still lead you to Christ. The point is to recognize they are not pleasing to God. We don't get into heaven based on people we lead to Jesus,we get to heaven by trusting Him and obeying Him.

The Holy Spirit introduced you to Jesus, no man has the power to introduce you to Jesus.

I’m sure they did 🤮

Carl lentz is to blame. Dont blame anybody else :)

It's unfortunate that he said "unfortunately" though before he said that. It's saddening to hear a Christian finding it unfortunate to represent Christ!

@@developer36able My thought exactly - how is it 'unfortunate' to represent Jesus?

I’m genuinely curious how it’s unfortunate

If a pastor does not represent what they think, and their thinking is not in line with the Bible and the very words of God....I think he has lost his way. If the Word of God is not the MOST important thing guiding you then there is a real problem internally with what Brian Houston believes because it isn't the Bible.

@@TheStemo1 agree!

@ Nonvisi, Every time, Carl Lentz is a child of God...Still...and always will be, he is human, and make human mistakes....as we all do...Gods word is his word...it must be soooo hard to be on that pedestal of being sooo high up and then the fall....but God says, we fall down, but get up, get up....you are still his....

Then why does his name equal 666? 😏

Exactly. Fix our eyes on Jesus christ the author and finisher of our faith.

So you would consider the apostle Paul in the same way? Please explain.

@@nathaniellowry3861 Certainly. All man are fallible. But God is infallible. Mentor the author and finisher of our faith only. For me I always have this WWJD approach. Whenever I am faced with trials and tribulation circumstances, I would ask the question What would Jesus do?it helps me calm down and seek the Lord with all my heart, soul and mind.

But God did this. Your religion did this. You did this. Hide from Hillsong's Sin and be rejected from Heaven

If Brian knew nothing, he'd be innocent. But Brian is the problem himself. He also brought in savory characters he knew weren't legitimate Christians.

@@merrittascott4408 Brian is a brilliant Pastor. Hard working. I respect him so much. Keep your comments to yourself if they are negative please. Get closer to God 🙏

@@priscilladevi9705 Hello, I have no problem exposing false teachers and pagan practices in the churches. Why are you defending what God hates?

@@priscilladevi9705 Funny you should say how brilliant Brian H is. Obviously you have not seen the latest where he basically admits he has a drinking problem, and also cheated on his wife mutiple times. Not too "brilliant" at all I would suggest. And the negative comments about him are usually FACTS. Hillsong members have even said how "shady" he is. You may not like the factual comments, but facts cannot be disputed. And what you are implying is that if Brian Houston has done something immoral, or even illegal, people should not call it out and keep it to themselves? Are you serious? So all Houston's "failings" are just minor indescretions are they? Things that should remain secret? That is called a "cover up", something Hillsong and many other chruches are good at. Well the NSW police have a different take on it, and do not have their heads in the sand, like many who follow this very questionable Hillsong/Pentacostal religion, which in reality is not even a real church, but a multi billion dollar BUSINESS, hiding behind the guise of a "charity", to avoid paying proper taxes.

@@priscilladevi9705 Are you kidding with this? Do some research. He KNEW about child exploitation and abuse. Did nothing. There is a special place in the karma line for this piece of garbage you respect.

Thank you. At some point he instructed that two believers should not take themselves to court before judges. He said these things must not be heard amongst us.

Humility is not about outward appearance it's about one's heart attitude. You can read where Moses wrote that HE was the meekest man alive. Not what you might expect when describing oneself! Meekness & humility is about our heart attitude and our response to glorifying Him.

Humbleness has got nothing to do with clothes. As you said, you haven’t been in church in a while, so am sure you haven’t been ready your bubble for a while either

Yeah, I quite agree. I hope you do come back to the house though!

@@RS-yw4wg Maybe not. But these ''leaders'' were blowing money on designer brands, jewelry and other luxuries. Where did that money come from? from donations given in good faith and money set aside from meager wages earned by hard working every day men and women in their congregation. I'm sure Jesus would have something to say about that? Its the people like you who spend all their time in church who are the most clueless about the faith.

Church business, a huge religious business they are trying to build.

So just ignore the real people who have been hurt, victimized, and silenced in all this?

What video were you watching? He comes across as closed, uneasy and uncomfortable. All manipulators. Wake up

With all due respect, do you still think the same of Houston now though Kyle, given that he has been charged by police only 2 days ago for not reporting his father for child molestation back in the 70"s? Or do you still feel sorry for this clown who makes money mainly from gullible people. Like many of these charasmatic self appointed "agents of God" here on Earth, who cover up crimes. the guy should be in jail.

@@125sloth he didn't report his father for child molestation, who did his molest? If it was him himself I don't think he was under any obligation to report his own abuse as a traumatized child. Truly feel man because I've not heard anything about that.

@@carrieb5711 The son is not the abused. Some children within the church were. In most states in Australia the law has been the same since the late 60's. In any institution, which includes churches as well as schools etc. any allegations of child sexual abuse must be reported to police. Even if the "victim" does not want it reported. The reason for that is that others may have been abused also, so the investigation has to assume that. And it is often the case that others are involved. This was not only an allegation, but his father admitted to the offending. Houston has admitted publicly that he did not report his father, but did have him removed from his position. Regardless of all that, it was also a huge conflict of interest that Houston made the decisions about his father, when his father was the alleged person, and proven perpetrator. Totally unacceptable. Brian Houston should have stayed right out of it. All he wanted was to protect the name of the church. And he failed, even if years later it all comes out. If police did not think they had a case, they would not have charged him. There is more to it that the media either choose not to report, or have to be careful with at this stage.

Why would you fear a loving patient and kind creator that is Love. Carl made a mistake but his sins were covered on the cross by his Savior. Christ forgivies but the media never does.

polly dunn.. type into google “fear the lord, bible verses” you will get an enormous amount of content!! the Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom, the Fear of Man is a snare (“it’s a trap”!😜) What does it mean to fear man? to be always conscious of their eyes on you and adjust your behavior based on knowing their watching. Now put God in that place. That’s the fear of the Lord. Being ever conscious of His gaze on your soul!

@@mwhorley She's correct, Polly. But we are near the "peace and security" (some say "safety") prophecy and there's nothing left to really be fulfilled next to the Harpazo. I feel the two witnesses should be here very soon.

In Jesus name Amen.

I choose to look up love of God scriptures. Fear usually comes from Satan. Yes dont let men rule how you think or act. Thats what the media does to get the attention they crave. God definately is interested in our souls because He created them so we could love worship and have a relationship with Him through His only begotten son Yeshua. The veil in the temple was torn at the crucifixion to open that doorway to God so the only high priest we need is Yeshua. The media would like to find fault in every Christian church out there. The pastors are all sinners just like Carl and all of us but guess what those are the ones Yeshua loved on the most when He was here. He looks at the heart. Anyone that puts any pastor on a special pedestal needs to quit. That is a form of idol worship that most don't deserve or want. They are just doing what THEY feel God called them to do whether He did or didn't. I think most try to do their best but it is the Holy Spirit that touches people and brings them to God not any person.

Yes you are correct! Sad that the new members aren't taught about forsaking the world, the flesh and the devil.

Yes but Jesus also told us to seek the lost. Most people would say celebrities are included

Jesus knew that leaders could become puffed up with their status too

Yessssssss its music, its culture its vanity. We are not from this world. HE need to be the Center, out Foundation.

But not in a sense to be completely separate. That’s what I would call Amish lol. We should be living in the world but not of the world.

He been caught himself, no human is a blessing to look upto , only Jesus!!!

Keep deceiving yourself. They probably are telling people like you what you want to hear. Thats why so many of you are blindly following their nonsense

I went to Hillsong church in The Cape (SA) once , never heard of Hillsong before that, I had the opposite feeling leaving that church😒.. gutfeeling was NO!!...

But did it change your life? Did it cause you to sincerely follow Christ more or did you just feel good?

It's because they use emotions instead of teaching what the bible actually says. In some good churches you leave so convicted that you do not walk out feeling good.

@@jakesimp3583 George Carlin 😉

And I have never found much substance to his messages that could explain the size pig his church.

Yep, they could NEVER become these celebrities if it weren't for all the lazy, willfuly ignorant "followers" that flock to them and make idols of them.

That's because the modern Evangelical system in the West is a religion based on believing you go to Heaven when you die. These Pastors are what they are because they don't have the Gospel, but have a counterfeit that puts heavy burdens on people and keeps them out of the Kingdom of YHWH.

wise words

Exactly 💯cursed is he who trusts in man

How is intimacy and separation done? I ask this because men don't know how to access the cross, spirit realm. All they do is in the flesh.

Word!!! Indeed it has to be like that!

Exactly! Every Christian is called to follow Christ, not a pastor. Humans are flawed and the church of Jesus isn't perfect.

Darla, where in the bible do get that idea?

Hello how are you doing today?

Absolutely agree. Unfortunately, the world these days likes to tear people down and keep stomping on them. It's so sad.😔

I would suggest that committing a criminal offence is hardly a simple "fall", especially when it was to cover up child abuse and protect the church.

The problem is much deeper than that. Their doctrine is corrupt so everything else there will be.

Act of what? The Bible has nothing to do with law anymore in reality. Even in courts now, those taking an oath on the Bible is less than those who choose to take an Affirmation to tell the truth. People, including many Christians, are getting sick of the Bible and how it's "rules" are broken continually by clergy and church people. Hypocrisy in the extreme.

@Mac cam you do realize this has absolutely nothing to do with pedophilia, right? The dude was having an affair with a married woman, not a child.

How are you doing 😊☺️👋

True indeed. Many churches like Hillsong has become seeker sensitive rather than truth driven.

Amen 🙏🏼

Amen, I pray the ones really seeking the Lord with all their hearts run a mile from these so called churches, Jesus is coming back soon.

I agree with you Trisha Gives🤗🤗🙏🙏❤❤💜💜

I think pastors and church leaders "crack under pressure" because it is a "one man system" led from the front, while the passive congregation listen. The New Testament cites an "all-body ministry" made up of pastors, prophets, teachers, evamgelists, etc. They are not meant to be carried out by ONE PERSON, which is why they get burnt out. A pastor is not a teacher and vice versa. They are two separate roles. Pastors are pastoral and care for the flock such as visiting and counselling etc, but a teacher is responsible for the promulgation of Bible reading and sound doctrine. If the two roles overlap (as in many denominational churches) then the concentration on one role will be diluted and compromised. The answer to all these 'failures' is in the Bible!

I hope you're not sticking up for this horrible person and his corporate big money "church" As a Christian I find mega churches like Hillsong absolutely tasteless and disgusting. And the people who support and go to these churches need to DO BETTER. Go to a small local humble a legirltimate church. Or stay home and pray and tend to your family and people in your life, or do something good for yourself instead of going to a rock show and sing vapid praise songs.

And then I see the news about all the scandal and see what it is really all about ($$$$) Stuff makes me sick But here's the thing. You don't have that horrible stuff without all the "Christians" that support it. They need to do better.

Where was the Lord when Houston's father was molesting kids back in the 70's? Kids lives ruined forever, if they didn't take their own lives at a young age due to abuse. Have a good hard think about that. Pastor Brian will need more than the Lord to get himself out of the current crisis he got himself into, due to his inaction on his father back in the day. Even the best lawyers cannot get him out of what he only has himself to blame for. Covering up his fathers crimes when in the Pentacostal Church, to protect the name of the church. And he has done the same later after setting up Hillsong. Protect the name of the "church", (business), over all else. What a loser.

These things keep happening. The culture of "leadership" in the church needs to change significantly

‘You shall know them by their fruits. Any tree that does not produce fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” -Jesus. It’s called actions speak louder than words. He’s a leader of arguably millions and he only exudes wealth, fame, self-promotion, and culture centered messages. Nothing about his actions represented Jesus, the homeless counter culture pacifist that befriended the rejects and healed the sick.

Nope, assault is not a "we are all sinners" conversation. Ravi did horrific disgusting things. To reduce it to that is unjust and why so many people leave the church. Making what he did palatable is one of the reason I grew tired of Christianity.

@@michellec.7996 I agree the accusations are pretty horrible. But there were a numbers of things I don't like about this case. He had the woman who sent him nude pictures in 2017. He made a statement on that denying any involvement. But the other three women from the day spa in Atlanta made those accusations after he died. He can't defend himself. Anyways, the inquiry stated he was guilty, and that is a terrible thing he did. I don't like how his wife was evicted from her home this week. His daughter and the rest of his family are also getting dumped on when they were not part of these accusations. My family were just discussing this tonight. Ravi Zacharias, Benny Hinn, Hillsong and other ministries have been in the news lately. It doesn't make be believe any less. The point I was making is it proves to me even people at the top are sinners. Doesn't excuse it. But it is part of human nature that people sin. In this case of Ravi, it was a shock to me. I saw him three years ago when he came to my mother's church. I even bought two of his books. It is hard to reconcile when seemingly good people do bad things like this. Fortunately no controversy in my church with leadership.

@@scottbrandon9390 Regardless of when the three women came forward, RZIM investigated and determined the accusations were true and Ravi's business partner admitted that he should've intervened during those incidents. It's not easy to come forward with those kind of accusations against someone that powerful. We are not in those women's position so we should show some grace and empathy towards them. They are the victims, not Ravi.

Well Jesus himself spoke in the bible saying that noone is good only God. Our good works are like dirty rags compared to the goodness and righteousness of God

Yeah, I’ve always had a problem with that “you are a disgusting piece of trash in need of a savior” message that Christianity tries to sell. Think about it, would you let anyone in your life (mother, father, husband, wife, friend ,employer, etc.) treat you that way? No, most people would reject someone attempting to verbally and mentally abuse someone in that manner, but, call it a “religion” and all of a sudden people lose all of their critical thinking faculties. Disturbing.

Worldly dress and views don't belong in church. We all need to humble ourselves and be Christlike.

I do belong in a church that pertains to a lot a Celebrities, what happened the whole Network got "shutdown" (ABS-CBN). Still as a believer that really doesn't mean anything to be honest on an economic standpoint Celebrities are just bearers of Goodwill showing how God has been good to them and that they are human too. i kin'a think i'm a celebrity my self. But I always go for the Praise and Worship that is where i give my all.

You forget that God calls these men to a higher standard and that should cause you all and them not to use such careless words as, "they are just human and sin like the rest of us". Of course they are, but they should not allow this type of sin that brings down the witness and testimony of Christ into their lives and to infect the church. He would and will call them to account for their careless actions. Too many excuses because so many of you are worshipping the men and the institutions. If the church is caught up in sin, make significant changes. Enough is enough. End times could be upon us and this behavious is sick and inexcusable.

Hmbaal i like it 😂

Not sure if you noticed, but we didn't get much of what he said in detail as it was heavily edited. But it's always been the TV way I guess.

@@FidelTshivhasa That is typical of these types of interviews. I heard enough and read enough of his body language to not trust him.

@@burtonsnow845 if you say so mate. But we can't hold someone responsible for another's behaviour.

@@FidelTshivhasa agreed. I don't have high expectations from mainstream TV reporting. I'm just happy there is some of what appears to me to be honest and objective reporting of a part of society that has not had much transparency historically.

@@adridelarosaj Where are you from if i may ask?

In Malaysia. There is also a church I once attended, when I was really young, playing strong music, jumping here and there, celerity style, pastor always emphasize on cozy environment, missionary, demanding tithes of more than 10 pct, preaching how this member give faithfully and today earn big house, successful business, we all fall into the same trap.. So called prosperity teaching. I hope some Malaysian in Selangor/KL aware of this. Those pastor aren't follow Jesus teaching. Be aware. Well, they will say, I am jealous, envy of their success. Only God knows. I am not reveal any church name. But be aware, how they grow into mega church, they brainwash you to keep bring friends to the church, also check if the church is accountable to Hasil, maybe this could help some from falling into this trap.

@@centurychallenger When I was younger (mid 30s or so) we went to a fairly large church (not a mega church) and the pastor would call on people to give testimony of the good things God had done in their life but he would only call on those that menti oned how faithful they were with their tithes. The church had some of the poorest people that went to that church because the church would pick people up from nearby homeless camps, when the head pastor shook your hand you always had a sense of while he was shaking your hand ✋️, he was busy looking for the next hand ✋️ to shake. He did run for city council. Once someone donated a jag to the church that he commandeered. We finally left the church after a few months because we felt that Jesus doesn't work that way 😪

@@farmnurse9319 the pastor motive has only one - to proof the sheep that "those who tithes will be blessed richly, unexpectedly", imply that "those who don't, will not be blessed"...but also..the secret code is - those who put money in my pocket, you will be blessed by God abundantly, quoting all the bible verse ..out of CONTEXT, yet claiming still applying to today's context. at the end of the day, only God knows what that pastor really thinks about it.

So he doesn't align his heart with the bible?

@@AlistairDBClarkson do you.

@@redeemablesoul as best I can muster

@@AlistairDBClarkson He's human, not perfect.

You just gotta be careful about some pastors interpretation of the Bible, but yes. You are right.

Amen!! That’s good!! Keep going!

haa,, ok so you do know this cult is founded by pedophiles right?

Too bad he was so evasive. If you look to the Bible and what Hillsong teaches they are opposing viewpoints

@@Fuzzy_Halo yes complete heresy, narciJesus, and motivational speaking at best with little Biblical context. Same like Elevation and the dang near satanic Bethel “Church.” God can and has still used them though and then move people out of them. That’s a lot of sounds to lead astray and have to answer for before God. Scary! Got to watch the music lyrics of their’s too.

@@WithLoveAshley exactly Ashley. Most mega churches now or pastors are motivational speakers (which to an extent isn't that bad) but most don't even preach the bible. They just encourage people. Never hear them preach about don't sin, repent, live a sinless life etc.

Yes she did.

Grateful she didn't go easy on him. Jesus would definitely not enjoy Hillsong Church. He'd be flipping tables!

@@dankxng He most certainly would be flipping tables, along with declaring that His Church will be a house of prayer! Matthew 21:12-13.

She was very good.

I don’t think she was nearly tough enough. She pulled her punches but then again the media always goes toes up to the line of actual tough journalism only then at the last second back away from actually doing their jobs all because they’re afraid of upsetting Christians.

CORRECT

Who is 'her?'

@@arsiemaberhane3274 mystery religion...it has infiltrated the Christian church. Can see the symbology and the non-Biblical teachings if you listen

@@bkad687 yes, or sometimes referring to "Mystery Babylon" in Rev. Hmm....

Amen

No. 60 minutes (US especially) is a joke of one sided edits. A trap for interviewees.

@@dianeodell2909 I wasnt talking about the show 60min. I meant 1hr

❤️❤️

Hello how are you doing?

True.

Exactly

Jesus calls us to Be the “Church”

I honestly think part of the reason Hillsong has found itself in the state it is in now is because the Church indeed is too big. So many branches, operating like a business with little to no accountability, evidently, with what has come to light.

Amen to that.Their gatherings look like the MTV awards.

Time's sped up for a reason. To get tgs Saints out of here just in time.

Exactly there is only One who is perfect 🙏

It means Don't respect or trust people based on what they say..doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye like you're trying to sya

Well isn’t that convenient, just shove it all off on “Jesus” and that absolves you of everything. No real accountability at all. You’ve been caught lying and exploiting your followers? No problem, just tell them “no one is perfect” and there you go. Instant absolution. No wonder people like this Christianity thing, you can do literally anything and no one will ever hold you responsible for it IF you appeal to the basic tenet of the religion which is “you are all terrible people” . You escape accountability for your flaws while you go about judging others, like gays and transgendered people for what you mistakenly assume is their “flaw” . What a mess these people are.

This is the problem with these churches as they pedal "cheap grace" and preach that is ok to remain in your sin and God will give you a mulligan. Jesus said "be ye perfect as your father is perfect" in Matthew 5 so why are we not striving to hit the bulls eye? Because of churches like hillsong who teach baby Christians to believe its ok to remain in their sin. NO! Jesus's first ministry was repentance! Are we forgetting that God is sovereign? Do not be deceived by the music and the watered down message!

🙄 What has that verse got to do with obvious, admitted sin?

@@nonnayerbiz4550 He thought his *WAY* of living was right.

There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, But its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12 AMP bible.com/bible/1588/pro.14.12.AMP

All religious garbage. Wake up people.

Well said

I was thinking the same thing so his thoughts differ from jesus's thoughts? Interesting not the kind of pastor I would want to follow that's for sure

WHAT??? Maybe to you!!! Whats the point of being in a pastoral role & not agreeing with the textbook?? 😂😂😂

@@nathaniellowry3861 Ahahah yess🙌🏻🔥

Lol, I think he meant it more as, as a Christian in general, your thoughts on a situation may not always be perfectly aligned with what the Bible says, which makes sense because we are all imperfect and fall short of the glory of God. However, He represents a Truth greater than his own mindset (which is influenced by the world since he's still human), and as a pastor, it's his responsibility to preach the surpassing righteousness of God's truth, even when he can't fully understand it all.

Overly edited. Not produced well.

oh my...umm. had a not so nice discussion with my neighbor last night. i said the bible said our hearts afre sicked. she said the bible doesn't say that anywhere and i must not be a christian because Im lying about the bible, even tho its more like she lies about it and then flips things around saying i did what she actually does...but anyway, i dont know you, you dont know me and this comment was put out the day before our convo, so to me, its just personal proof from God that I am doing the right thing, I am not the evil, mean, belittling tings she calls me (as a holy spirit filled Christian) - basically she is completely lying about her walk, which isnt helping her, but because no one can know more than her, no one can do anything better, no one can tell her anything - if she says it, its factual, if you tell her something she will come back a few days later and then pretend like thats how she feels and will call me names, tell me i dont know scripture, that i dont follow the word, that i am evil for trying to change the word (these are all things that i have shown her scripture on -except i dont degrade, belittle, name call,put down or insult - i try showing her the truth never my opinion - but according to her, i am too young (i am 45) to know what im talking about, she celebrates worldly pagan holidays, she changes the word if she doesn't think God thinks that way, she trusts that trump is going to save the world, supports Q hardcore but then says she has no idea what Q even is...its all a huge game with me to confuse, distort, mislead, misguide, deceive, lie to and mock my relationship with Jesus - and she pretends she's the bible believing, narrow path walking Christian (while she has tarot cards and spell books in her house) but anything you say she has an excuse for, she ignores and changes the subject or just goes MIA or she comes back with i know all this stuff, things shes learned from me and twists it like its all coming from her and IDK what Im talking about. Ive just been led recently to stay away from her basically. plus, things are real good for me, shes missing her hair, her teeth have all fallen out - not kidding - her health is falling quickly, her finances are a mess & shes miserable. Maybe if you start obeying God and defending him like you do trump and start fellow shipping instead of comparing & coveting your neighbors mind, God would bless her too. quick lesson, God doesn't reward the wicked. And the heart IS WICKED. thats why we need Jesus Christ!!

I love Jeremiah 17! When people harm an innocent animal I automatically think of this verse!
