You’ll know them by their fruit. Grants “fruit” is obvious.
Didn’t she do some work with Melinda Gates of some sort?
Yes. She was always about the $$ and compromised her Christianity to make the $$ happen. Never liked her or her type of music.
“ What an absolute load of garbage. Neither Jesus nor the apostles tailored the gospel message around the “tastes” of their unbelieving listeners. Jesus never apologized for turning people off with a hard message. And he did this frequently.
You’re obviously of the nicer-than-Jesus, seeker-sensitive brand of “Christianity.” Puke!!!”
—————————————————————————————-
Really? Perhaps you should read the Bible and avoid internet Ministers.
That might soften your heart a bit..
Guess you don’t recall the Prostitute about to be stoned to death.
Was that a tailored message?
A stone thrower as yourself would know.
Here’s another tailored message to the Jews:
Matthew 12:1 Context
1At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. 2But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 3But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 4How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
Oh, another tailored message, this time to the Gentiles…….
Romans 3:29 Context
26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
The Apostle Paul was the son of a Pharisee.
He was concerned that the Gentiles didn’t keep Kosher and ate things that were forbidden.
God showed him it’s ok to eat what the Gentiles ate and what God deems Holy it’s Holy. Paul saw the diet issue as a problem to his Preaching and wanted acceptance from the Gentiles.
Not only a message, an entire diet was changed and blessed!!!
Puke that up why don’t ya? He that is without sin.
Jesus forgave the prostitute but did not embrace or condone her sin. He said, “Go and sin no more.”
You cannot say Jesus embraced homosexuality. Repentance is key. Christians should love the person but reject his/her sin.
“I’m sadden by people living a gay lifestyle……….but if I tell they’re wrong, it’s evil, they’ll burn in hell, they’re cursed……..they’ll shut me out.”
What an absolute load of garbage. Neither Jesus nor the apostles tailored the gospel message around the “tastes” of their unbelieving listeners. Jesus never apologized for turning people off with a hard message. And he did this frequently.
You’re obviously of the nicer-than-Jesus, seeker-sensitive brand of “Christianity.” Puke!!!
Sorry pal, but that what Christ was. He came to point out the hypocrates of the law, but he came to preach that its never too late to repent. You cant get anyone to repent on anything through hatred of them. He came to save sinners. Your judgement of others is only for God and God alone, so you are just as guilty in your hate when you stand before him to be judged. . Don’t remember him saying “Love one another as I have loved you....except for gays!” If they ddont repent, then they will be judged by God. You thinking you can read Gods mind is like getting spiritual advice from Jobs pals?
> You’ll know them by their fruit. <
Very true. But to classify a person, you should look at the totality of their “fruit”. I don’t know much about Amy Grant. But I do know she has sinned. For example, she broke up a marriage.
But does she still accept Christ as her Savior? Does she still try to (imperfectly) follow His teachings? The gentleman in the video simply can’t say that Grant “denied Christ” without knowing the answers to those questions.
“ So when do you get around to the “Go and sin no more” part?”
—————————————————————————————
After I tie them good and tight to the stake and throw the torch on the pile of wood below them.
Is that what you’d like done?
Odd thing……..I don’t recall Jesus punishing anyone while he walked this Earth.
He taught them. He healed them. He prayed for them.
Guess the “What Would Jesus Do.” thing is long gone, eh??
It should be added…….”What did Jesus do?”.
Amy,
Should God apologize to
Sodom and Gomorrah?
It was a woman caught in adultery and Jesus said "Go and sin no more". He didn't say “It doesn’t matter how we behave,” Grant continued. “It doesn’t matter how we’re wired. We’re all our best selves when we believe to our core, ‘I’m loved.’ as Grant did. Where did she preach love AND repentance? She didn't.
Thanks for the Inside
Veiw.
It’s Amazing to see
“Real” moments like that.
“ It was a woman caught in adultery and Jesus said “Go and sin no more”. He didn’t say “It doesn’t matter how we behave,” Grant continued. “It doesn’t matter how we’re wired. We’re all our best selves when we believe to our core, ‘I’m loved.’ as Grant did. Where did she preach love AND repentance? She didn’t.”

Jesus told the Prostitute to go in peace and sin no more.
That’s what you got from that whole story?
You forgot about all of the men ready and about to stone her to death.
What did Jesus say to them?
This is the important part of the story……..
Same woman who left her hubby and kids for Vince Gill
John 2:13-16
Jesus Clears the Temple Courts
13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”
Well said
Well he did have a thing with Mary Magdalene. Friendship or whatever. He didn’t yell and scream that she was a hooker.
In your reference to Romans 1 the passage says that “God gave them up (over)” - He did not give up on them. When that action is taken by God it is for the purpose of reconciliation.
The world becomes darker and maybe the citizens will seek for the ‘Light of the world.” May we ‘seek the Lord while He may be found’ and come to know Jesus Christ.
No, but to pray for her.
