- The world has repackaged the shackles of pornography as the symbol of sexual freedom - so how do we move forward? This week, Timothy "TA" Ateek points to Colossians 3:5 to remind us that we're called to put all sexual immorality - whether it's videos, books, thoughts - to death and live in the freedom that Christ offers.

I'm struggling. What were the scriptures, and what do we mean by the heavy subject of freedom from pornography?!🚭🚭🚭
Colossians 3:5 specifically, but you can read the description of the video and watch as well, it’s a great sermon. 🙏
There’s freedom
From pornography in Jesus name!
Can someone please explain why God waited 1.5 millenia to bring the gospel to the new world? Are all those people in hell? Or can they be like retroactively saved like how the Mormons do.
Help!!!! 😮
I will say that I do not speak for God, nor can I fully tell you Why He waited so long before he came to give us the Gospels..
What I do know is that God had a timing that Had to happen so All of us could learn about him, so that not only the Jewish people would be saved but Gentiles as well (in Exodus it talks about how God was going to use Pharoahs hard heart to show the Egyptians who The True God was.) I remember reading that Jesus had to come during the time of the Roman empire, because it was the only time in history that a roadway was created to connect many people groups together (which ment the better spreading of the Gospels!) (It's also a interesting note, but Rome is also known as the Eternal city. Which you Could say is a Coincidence, but I can't help but see God's humor in it lol.)
And on the subject of hell. That is always a hard subject to talk about, but I will say I do believe God had ways to bring people to Heaven. It was just harder, because of all the rules in the old testament (but that was really on us because we always have to add onto the rules God gave us, not what God Himself did.) But I always see it as God's way of saying We can never redeem ourselves through trying to be "good" people, Jesus finally had to come to re-simplfy all that God tried to show us in the beginning. (It's also interesting to note that there are people in the old testament that State that the Spirit of God was on them! Elijah, David and many others.)
But I think I've rambled enough for right now lol. I don't know if any of this helps you, but if anything did I'll be glad! It's always good to ask questions if you're confused on something, but you of course should do some research as well. I recommend praying and reading the Bible, let God show you what you're questioning (He doesn't want you to be ignorant Friend!) I'll be praying for you that you find the answers God wants you to know, hope you have a lovely day!
(Exodus 9:16)
First off there is no hell either you are in Christ and have Eternal life or you are not in Christ and you perish
Focus on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For he was born of a virgin womb, died and resurrected, started the ministry, did not commit any sin, ascended to be to the right hand of the father interceding for us …
@@JesusChristson ahhh nothing like getting conflicting responses. It seems like at least 2 of you don't know Jesus and don't have him in your heart
