Eve did not believe God, & so she bought the devil’s lie that God does not mean what He says. As a result, the whole world was cursed.
Amy & her worshipers do not believe God, & so they buy the devil’s lie that God does not mean what He says. As a result, they remain in unrepentant, disobedient states of on-going adultery [Mark10:12, 1Cor7:10-11, Rom7:3, Luke16:18] which God says makes them His enemies [James4:4] & condemns them to hell [1Cor6:9, Heb10:26-27].
@EclecticDaydreamer, I agree with Sween9261's statement above: "I judge no one. But, I do believe God when He says John12:48, which includes 1Cor7:10-11 and Mark10:12."
Do you believe God? He tells His disciples John7:24 & 1Cor6:3. Why don't you hear Him?
When God says unrepentant sodomites & adulteresses like Amy go to hell [1Cor6:9, Heb10:26-27] why wouldn't anyone who believes God cease her adultery? Failure to STOP doing what God says condemns you to hell proves unbelief. [Luke8:21]
well, before you start throwing scriptures at me, worry less about the worlds relationship with God, and more about your own relationship with God. Because as pubic as this woman's life has become, it is still private. Have a little respect. :) I mean absolutely no offense. God Bless you also.
@EclecticDaydreamer WOW.....Y says, "I judge no one...." but has told all here who disagree with his twisting of Scripture that WE ARE going to hell??? He's judged Amy here over and over! That's my point! JESUS CHRIST is our ONLY judge!! He IS the perfect Lamb who gave Himself for the sins of the world. God desires for ALL to come to repentance. (2Peter 3:9)
yo, 2cents, the problem with unbelievers is that they don't believe God when He tells us who are His brethren [Luke8:21]. They don't believe Him when He says Amy's on-going disobedient adultery flows from her deceitful and desperately wicked heart [Jer17:9, Mark7:21]. They don't believe Him when He says He is Judge [John12:48] and that unrepentant adulteresses go to hell [Heb10:26-27, 1Cor6:9]. Instead, you act as if Scripture concerning Christ's brethren pertains to Amy, but you are wrong!

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your UNFAILING LOVE through Your RISEN SON, The LORD Jesus Christ, Who DIED FOR US while we were yet sinners. We BLESS YOU, LORD, Who PARDONS ALL our iniquities, Who HEALS ALL our diseases, Who REDEEMS OUR LIVES from the pit, Who CROWNS us with LOVE and COMPASSION, Who SATISFIES our mouths with GOOD THINGS so that our Youth is RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE's - PSALM 103:1-5
John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
1Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
James 5:9 Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
Hebrews 12:15 Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.
1 John 2:9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.
Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
I just want to say how appalling it is that someone is flagging as spam every single comment that speaks against the few comments left standing, most from this @yeeeaaawho person. I have opened several of these "spammed" comments and they are anything but. Spam is when someone posts those stupid "post this on so many videos or your crush will die in a horrific way!" and such like it. Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't mean you can keep them from expressing their views.
believers believe in Jesus Christ as the sole Lord and Savior, as God, and as the ONLY way to eternal life. Th word describes several belivers living in sin, does he say thtey are hopeless, no, he says they are forgiven. the price has been paid. God's word..in context, as a whole, not by taking bits and pieces here and there and taking them all out of context. by ignoring the word as a whole, by ignoring the scriptures before and after that show the true meaning.
@jenstylesrn, believers believe God's Word, unbelievers don't. When God tells us about apostates and others beyond hope, I believe Him. [Heb6:4-6, 2Pet2:20-22, 1John5:16, Luke12:10, 17:1-2, Rom1:28, 11:8, Matt7:23]
Amy clearly is described by Heb10:26-27, 1Cor6:9, and Luke17:1-2; whether she also is described by Heb6:4-6, God knows. Whether you are described by Mark8:38, you know.
@yeeeaaawhooo wow...taking heb 6 4-6 to mean that some are beyone hope is...wow. satan really really plants twisted thoughts in peoples heads. what those verses mean is totally oppososite of that people can fall away. what it means is that once you are saved, thats it. there is no sin you could commit, nothing you can do to change that. it says if you have accepted Gods gift, its' impossible to lose it. not that you lose it and can't get it back.
@Machelle3200, like seriously? When God tells us that this unrepentant adulteress child of disobedience has made herself His enemy [James4:4] enroute to hell [Heb10:26-27, 1Cor6:9], do you really consider that trivial and unimportant?
Do you really think that Christians should remain silent when such enemies of God promote false theology for money, and model disobedience to "little ones," declaring bitter to be sweet [Isa5:20, Rom1:32]?
@yeeeaaawhooo God would b ashamed of everyone sin in gereral separated us and God not specific acts. Once we accept God's FREE gift and are saved, God isn't ashamed because we were made righteous thru jesus' blood and that is how God sees us from now on it is not just past sin he doesn't see, it is all sin. otherwise, he'd have to die again every day that we sin. we must not be misled by satan's lies that what Jesus did wasn't enuf. God will change us but we wont b perfect until the end his day.
@cathypico, do you truly think you can finesse your way to Heaven by ignoring what God says at John7:24 and 1Cor6:3? Do you truly think you can hide in the shadows with your head under your arm, and pretend God doesn't say Mark8:38?
Can you sow to the flesh and embrace the world without making yourself, like Amy, an enemy of God [James4:4]?
Have you no love for "little ones" misled by this anti-Bible/anti-church false theology and celebrity model of this unrepentant adulteress [Heb10:26-27]?
@amberdani38, do you consider it only a speck in the eye for God to declare you His enemy [James4:4], and to say you are going to hell? [Heb10:26-27, 1Cor6:9, 1John3:4, Matt7:23]
And, what is the plank you see in Sween9261's eye? Is it just part of your vain imaginings? Surely it's clear that God expects His children to believe Him [Mark8:38] and to obey Him [John14:21-24]. Amy does neither!! [Matt18:8-9, 1Cor7:10-11]
Eternal regret attends such children of disobedience [Eph5:6]. Heed Him!!!
To many of those who are using this to condemn another. Matthew 7.3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
David was a man after God's own heart and he not only committed adultery , he murdered one of God's kids. He was sorry and he was forgiven. The truth is simple don't judge and you won't be judged. " light up the world shine on me love is the answer"..
@BabzVA, God tells us who believe exactly what reasons lie with those like you who do not believe Him, who do not hear or heed Him -- who reject, deny, or ignore God's Word. None of the reasons are good! [John8:47; John3:20; Rom1:28; 1John3:8; Rom11:8; John12:40; 2Thes2:11-12].
The eternal consequences are all the same no matter the reason why you refuse or are unable to hear or to understand (as when God dispenses a spirit of stupor). The fact that you do not heed Him means Matt7:23 for you.
Sweeen e yeeeaaawhoo are the same person. !!! He want to denegrate Amy , someone real . She received the forgiveness from the cross. Only Jesus could pay the price. And she have been received the God's grace. GRACE. Dont waste your time doing a bad thing...!!! She is a great blessing for me. I'm Brazilian and here, she is very famous among the christians. All of us like her music. A divine gift !
@BabzVA, your problem (denying God's Word) has eternal consequences! You can't even distinguish Him from those who post the Bible quotes. The quotes, BabzVA, are from God!! When He tells believers that unrepentant adulteresses make themselves His enemies, and go to hell, we believe Him. He is no liar. He is the judge [John12:48]. Your excusing on-going sin as being "not perfect" is foolish [Heb10:26-27]. Refusing to heed God, and to repent is foolish! Your time is NOW! You may have no tomorrow.
@yeeeaaawhooo I may or may not have no tomorrow, but my (or Army's) life, my sins, my soul are between me and God. ....not your ranting Bible quotes. You can spout all you want from the Bible. My maker is the only one who can look into someone's soul and determine who and what they are....NOT YOU.
@BabzVA Oh no, Babz, didn't you realize that yeeeaaawhoo/sween/Reriggs are the only ones on the planet who can see into someone's soul? Didn't you realize that they are the only Christians who never sin? Did you not realize that yeeeaaawhoo seems to think that what HE determines to be unpardonable sins are what really counts. (NOTE THE SARCASM) Don't worry about him, he's too big of a coward to openly debate his points of view, he will simply say "you've been given over to a spirit of stupor".
@yeeeaaawhooo Here's a question for you: If a person who was divorced and has remarried PRIOR to becoming a Christian, upon becoming a Christian,must that person divorce their current spouse and live a life of celibacy if reconciliation with the first spouse is not possible? If that is the case, then how can the Bible say that God hates divorce, if He requires it a second time to "show repentance"?
@yeeeaaawhooo Yes, the quotes are from God, but the one quoting them is not. The quotes are from God, but you're taking them out of context to make them say what you want.
I am reading all these comments from you people quoting the Bible and passing judgment on others. Amy's soul and how she lives her life is between her and God. If you don't want to listen to her music, then don't, but keep your judgments to yourself. We all are not perfect and we all have to answer for ourselves when the time comes.
@wrenspromise1 boasts: I can tell you that no human has the right to judge anyone.
But God tells His disciples (1Cor6:3): Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
And (John7:24): Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment!
Most important, wrenspromise1, you seem deaf to (John12:48) and the fact that we believers believe Him when He tells us the fate of His enemies & children of disobedience like Amy (Matt7:23).
love this song's message, our FATHER IN HEAVEN LOVES OUR REACHING FOR HIS HAND FOR HELP--he loves us! PLEASE realize how precious you are to the Lord, he died for you to be free, no matter where we've been; in our mind, in life, there is no way we can be too far for his love. BIBLE says so
@morriswilburn, Christians are people who believe God's Word, and He tells us all have sinned, and so, no, Amy is not the only one. But, God also tells us more go to hell than to Heaven [Matt7:13-14], including all disobedient, unrepentant adulteresses like Amy, who make themselves His enemies [James4:4]. Believers believe God when He says Heb10:26-27 and 1Cor6:9.
While He promises His wrath to such children of disobedience [Eph5:6, Matt7:23], Christians care for little ones Amy would mislead.
The comments in YouTube would lead the reader to believe that Amy Grant is the only person in the history of the world who has sinned. She isn’t, so give it a rest.
@lucasboden, what nonsense you spew!! When God, Who speaks for Himself, says His Word does not return void, we believers believe Him! When you spew vain imaginings with no Scriptural support, you have no more authority than any worldly atheist musing.
Your contradiction here of God's Word is far worse than just being ashamed of His words [Mark8:38].
The best we can hope for Amy is 1John3:6. If Heb6:4-6 describes her, God says we aren't even to pray about it [1John5:16]. 1Cor6:9 is no lie!
Wow what happened to forgiveness. The bible says he who is without sin cast the first stone. Why do you look at the speck in your brothers eye and ignore the plank in your eye. If she asked God to forgive her then He did. God is in the restoration business.
@patty7beth, indeed, you've pegged it -- you are clueless. If you knew God's Word, you'd know that He tells us Amy is in an on-going state of unrepentant adultery [Mark10:12, Luke16:18, Rom7:3, 1Cor7:10-11]. You'd know He tells us she is His enemy [James4:4] who is going to hell [Heb10:26-27, 1Cor6:9]. If you knew Him, loved Him, believed Him, you would hear Him. No reason He gives for your spiritual deafness is good! [John8:47; John3:20; Rom1:28; 1John3:8; Rom11:8; John12:40; 2Thes2:11-12].
@yeeeaaawhooo - When someone reads the bible in a state of hate, it is void of The Spirit. They will use it to spread hate. They do not point and tell people to look towards Jesus Christ.. They first point to the sinner and condemn them to hell and then point to themselves and show how spiritually superior they are. The word becomes uninspired and no different than islam fundamentalism or other self-righteous religions.
@yeeeaaawhooo Here's a question for you: If a person who was divorced and has remarried PRIOR to becoming a Christian, upon becoming a Christian,must that person divorce their current spouse and live a life of celibacy if reconciliation with the first spouse is not possible? If that is the case, then how can the Bible say that God hates divorce, if He requires it a second time to "show repentance"?
If Grant's relationship with Vince Gill began in adultery - but she honestly repented of that sin after she married Gill, then Scripture says plainly she should NOT leave her new spouse to remarry the former. If her repentance doesn't meet your approval, That's unfortunate, but God's opinion counts, not yours. You don't know her heart, or her current standing with God. Odd to be so focused on a past sin of another, not your own. It doesn't justify her sin to find yours appalling.
@pennysouix, you'll have to be more specific. Waving your arms in the direction of the Bible, and spouting unsupported opinion counts for nothing. Falsely accusing people of being judgmental when they quote, reference, or point to God's Word, is the epitome of judgmentalism yourself, especially if you haven't even read the Scriptures referenced.
God speaks for Himself! Believers believe what He says, unbelievers don't. Some, like Amy, make up their own false theology, often to justify adultery.
@yeeeaaawhooo Must I quote scriptures to you to prove that you are making judgements against a situation you have no knowledge about? I believe God and I also know that His mercy FAR exceeds the amount that you think you have. "Go and learn what this means, I desire MERCY and not sacrifice." That was a suggestion made by Jesus to a bunch of people who were bent on catching Him not following the law. If that's what your game is, you have missed it, my friend.
@yeeeaaawhooo You're right, God speaks for himself! He doesn't need you/sween/reriggs or any other screen name you choose to use to misrepresent His message or taking verses out of context, as you are prone to do. You will use 1Cor. 6:3 as an authority to judge someones salvation or repentance, but the text is NOT talking about that. READ THE PASSAGE!!!!!! It's talking about Christians taking other Christians to court!!!!!! READ YOUR OWN REFERENCES BEFORE YOU DEMAND OTHERS DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@xionsk8r22x, why do you take such offense at God's Word? Why don't you believe Him when He says that unrepentant adulteresses like Amy and sodomites have NO inheritance in His Kingdom? Don't you believe the authority of God's Word? Don't you believe He means what He says? Are you, like Amy, an unbeliever who loves sexual immorality more than you love God?
Be assured from those who know God that He does mean what He says, and that includes Heb10:26-27 and 1Cor6:9. Hell awaits the unrepentant.
@yeeeaaawhooo Ummmm, hello? I guess what God's word says about forgiveness according to your doctrine is in limited supply? How many times does he forgive us? If forgiveness is limited to only a few times...guess we're all in trouble, huh?
what is wrong with everyone and their judging comments..those without sin should cast the first stone..you people make me sick passing judgement on people...why dont you look through your own closet and clean out the sin that is lurking there. self rightious hypocrites!
Some of you anti amy grant are what Jesus refered to as Phraisee,s. Obviously you guys have led lilly white lives. I wonder what offends the Lord more? A self righteous Pharisee or someone who made mistakes but still loves the Lord. Get Over it.
@62grossman, I judge no one. But, I do believe God when He says John12:48, which includes 1Cor7:10-11 and Mark10:12.
God says that without repentance, Vince and Amy are assured certain fiery judgment [Heb10:26-27]. God tells us that such sexually-immoral people make themselves His enemies, with NO inheritance in His Kingdom. [James4:4; 1Cor6:9]. Why would any believer not believe God? When God tells us who loves Him, and who doesn't [John14:21-24], anyone can see where Amy falls [1Cor7:10].
All have sinned...those without sin-throw the firststone....my sin not in part but the whole....Im glad I dont have to sit in judgment of others....Im still working on that besetting sin in my life.... and believe me Amy- its hard to live holy and perfect with the hurt and pain of a fallen world-but Jesus speaks peace to our hearts and HE knows about the sacrifice of praise!!!!!!
Despite any scripture, God created us and we all messed up.. "For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Thank you Jesus, MY savior for sacrificing your life for ME.. Debate scripture all that you want, it won't change what he did so that I might know the loving father he knows... This earthly life won't ever be perfect. God did what he thought he wanted Abraham to do.. Gave up his son. His love knows no boundry... Hallelujah!
@KMacKay329 It appears that those that speak of the "inheritance in His Kingdom", do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior who died for our sins, and may be Jehovah Witness.
@1206kam, given what God says about apostasy (incl. Heb6:4-6 and 2Pet2:20-22), that it is IMPOSSIBLE to restore such people, and they would have been better off NEVER to have known Him, Amy would have more hope if her prior claims were as false as her present claims. God says she has NO inheritance in His Kingdom, she is His enemy, no sacrifice remains (Heb10:26-27) and only fiery judgment awaits. Leading little ones to sin adds (Luke17:1-2), and we should not even pray about it (1John5:16).
@1206kam His pleasure is because we are coming to Him for our needs, forgiveness, and a connection, and not only in worship and praise. He would choose us to make sure we take care to have a relationship with Him rather than admiration only (that's why it's "sometimes").
I see people say how is anything better then a hallelujah but i think Amy means by just saying it not by what it actually mean, and maybe the old man did cheat on his wife but it doesn't mean God didn't forgive him, besides it is just a song so if you guys don't like it then listen to something else.
@selene177 His pleasure is because we are coming to Him for our needs, forgiveness, and a connection, and not only in worship and praise. He would choose us to make sure we take care to have a relationship with Him rather than admiration only (that's why it's "sometimes").
@msgoldelockz, why do you deem to replace God’s judgment with yours? Do you think you can manage the Creation better than God?
He tells us what sin is, and who has inheritance in His Kingdom. According to God’s Word, Amy is excluded. (Heb10:26-27; Mark10:12; 1Cor6:9; Luke17:1-2)
Like Amy, you can choose to embrace the world and sexual sin, but be assured that makes you God’s enemy (James4:4).
I wasn' t a big fan of Amy Grant really...until this song! ~God hears our sorrows, God feels our pain, God knows the ache in our hearts and our pains in a personal way! That is on a daily basis and in a moment to moment way! We cry out to God and he hears us. We give Him our hearts and love, as He has given us, and he is there for us every moment. This is what the song says! Her personal choices are between herself and her God. No one has a right to judge what she does or has done.Judge not!
A marriage can be a mistake just like anything else & if divorce is necessary it will be forgiven like any other thing we fail at. Our sins are covered and thrown as far as the East is from the West. The only ones who remember them are the hypocrites that THINK they DON"T sin! Remember not all who shout "Lord, Lord!" will enter Heaven..."Mat 6:15 But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive you your sins." I forgive Amy and pray you all do to.
@msgoldelockz THANK YOU!!! I am SO TIRED of people still blaming Amy for the breakup of her marriage. As a Christian, my mother put up w/the same abuse for 17 years until my father held her at gunpoint for hours and people STILL called her a hypocrite for leaving. You cannot expect anyone to spend the rest of their lives in an abusive environment w/a drug addict (My dad was on cocaine, too). Amy and Vince are happy and have created a beautiful life together. Leave them alone
@nitopontocom It appears that those that speak of the "inheritance in His Kingdom", do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior who died for our sins, and may be Jehovah Witness.
CONTINUED...And divorce? He directs us back to how marriage was created when asked if divorce was OK. All the rules simply point to how anything that falls short of a real Christ to the church relationship needs forgiveness so that we can have a true mate. If WE put ourselves in a relationship that is abusive or negligent, He didn't do that, and we took something that didn't belong to us. Now if that "spouse" that we stole were money, would Jesus want us to keep it?
I'm gonna continue here and see if any can really understand. The Pharisees tried to trip up Jesus by quoting "rules" at him that did not allow work on the Sabbath and He asked them wasn't it more important to save an Ox & carry or "work" with a ladder? Jesus always answered a question with a question because everything requires consideration of the heart and intention. That which we do not possess to judge anyone but ourselves. And divorce? CONTINUED
Beautiful song Amy. That said, I can't believe that in this day and age, people have not learned of the Love of Christ and the fact that he died for our sins "past, present. AND future! WE don't "get the sins out of our lives" as some think. Do we go to the hospital AFTER we fix ourselves up? When we do go, do we ALWAYS know what is wrong with us? Everyone please wake up & turn your hearts to the Grace of God. No sin will enter Heaven because He washes us clean and presents us to himself.
@KhmerKreation, what matters is what God says. Amy pretends to be Christian, and says His Word is a light to her path, lying as she disobeys God's commandments. She would be less hypocritical to claim to be Buddhist, though no more justified. God commands married women not to leave, but if they do, they must remain single [1Cor7:10-11]. If they "marry" someone else while their husbands live, they are adulteresses. [Mark10:12; Rom7:3] Sween9261is right on what God says on that. see [Matt7:21-23]
Mercy triumphs over judgement. Only when we as Christians hate the will to judge [the fruit produced when one is truly free] will He give us a new mind and will that is free from any personal agenda, and thus truly motivated by His Love. So much damage has been done by Christians judging in the wrong spirit and unwilling to be corrected and humble themselves. Usually it is immaturity, and lets face it, arent we all immature in some area no matter how long we have been serving Him?
You go, girl! Love the message and the song. You have always been an inspiration to me. You're not one of those lofty finger pointers, but you've gotten lost along the way just like me, and you still hold on to the One who's been holding you all this time. That's what I need. Someone who makes mistakes, but still tries to find the way home anyway.
I see the post about the man in Matthew when Jesus was attempting a deeper understanding. The man didn't understand and couldn't understand due to the "biases" and Hebrew Law commands. He was doing as the Law stated, however, Jesus did tell him 2 give up riches, but didn't understand. He said that we need 2 b more like children, learning each & every day and trust for understanding. IT isn't about sinning, it is about LEARNING! That is what Jesus came to do, teach use about salvation& luv.
God gave the rich young man a choice: to obey God and follow Him, or to clutch to his worldly wealth and walk away. The rich young man made the wrong choice - just like unrepentant adulteresses who love their sin more than they love God. Unwilling to obey God, they walk away. They have no “walk with” God, only a disobedient walk away from God – like Judas and Herodias. Vainly they deny God’s Word, make up their own theologies and justifications for their sin. But, God is no fool. [Rev21:8]
Amy does do a great job perserving through insults to her walk with Christ. She still walks with Christ and does follow the Holy Spirit's direction. I think we all make mistakes when we don't listen. But, when we do, we are blessed. Amy has had many blessings and still continues to have blessings. Thank God for her talents to bring praise music to the airways!
@KhmerKreation, those who do not persevere may not be saved (Matt10:22). God says that Amy Grant exists in an on-going state of adultery (Mark10:12; 1Cor7:10-11; Rom7:3), that such adulteresses make themselves enemies of God (James4:4), and that such sexually-immoral people have NO inheritance in God's Kingdom. To go around telling people otherwise, and modeling such sin as okay, suggests a millstone would be better (Luke17:1-2) than the certain fiery judgment (Heb10:26-27). God is no liar!
@Sween9261 Are u agreeing with me? From what you said I think you are. I noticed it didn't take her long to get with Vince Gill, like there was no period of mourning that her marriage was over. She quickly married Vince Gill, meaning that she might have been seeing him while she was married. Well only God knows and He will judge accordingly.
@KhmerKreation, no, God is not the only one who knows, though He is the One Who defines adultery (Including at Mark10:12, Rom7:3, 1Cor7:10-11, and Luke16:18). The public heard Amy's admission, and knows about the evidential letter that Vince Gill's wife found in his golf bag while Amy still was living with Gary Chapman. God already has expressed His judgment, saying such unrepentant adulteresses are His enemies (James4:4) and have NO inheritance in His Kingdom (1Cor6:9). (Heb10:26-27) applies.
@Sween9261 It seems like you're agreeing with since you provided the scriptures. All I'm saying is that I don't agree with her divorcing Gary Chapman and another person had said she had put up with Gary's drug and alcohol habits. The other person was saying she should be commended for putting up with for that long and that she had every right to leave.
@KhmerKreation, you agree with God. That's a good place to be. Amy stands in disobedience of God. That's NOT a good place to be! God says Amy, in her present state of unrepentant, on-going adultery, has NO inheritance in Heaven (1Cor6:9), and by embracing the world, she has made herself God's enemy (James4:4). By continuing in her sin after being told what's right, she can expect certain fiery judgment (Heb10:26-27). Those who don't believe God need to take yeawho's advice, see (Matt7:21-23)
@Sween9261 Hold on. If Amy is legitimately saved then yes she IS going to Heaven, though because of her sin her reward is questionable. Be careful how you use the Word.
@Sween9261 That is why we have the grace of God. We should not sin so that grace can abound. If a Christian sins in a sexually immoral way and then asks God for forgiveness of their sins do you not believe that that Christian is saved by the grace of God?
@sugarberryful, no, God's Word is unambiguously clear. He expects repentance -- which is turning away from sin. You will know that Amy has repented when she stops committing adultery (Mark10:12, Rom7:3, Luke16:18) and obeys God's commandment (1Cor7:10-11). He says those who do not love Him do not keep His words (John14:21-24), adulterers are His enemies (James4:4) with NO inheritance in His Kingdom (1Cor6:9). Hell awaits (Heb10:26-27). The best we could hope for Amy is (1John3:6), not (Heb6:4-6)
@sugarberryful It appears that those that speak of the "inheritance in His Kingdom", do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior who died for our sins, and may be, Jehovah Witness (Watch Tower).
@Sween9261 And god forgives your sins when you ask in prayer...and says go....and sin no more. we are all sinners....you have your sins as well...there is only one that is perfect and that is god himself. the bible also says that those which judge will also be judged by their own judgement....you are treading on dangerous ground when you judge. mary magdelen was a known prostitute and was forgiven and was one of jesus christ most precious followers.
@Sween9261 WOW!!! I didnt know God appointed you judge over other people's lives! Last time I read the bible, I thought it said something about love, mercy, and forgiveness, etc... Without which, NO one will be saved, including you, my friend... At our very best, none of us are deserving of heaven. We all have one thing in common, us human people, we all need to depend on the mercy and love of God in this life... That's what saves us.
@Sween9261 - When you use the word of god as a tool to condemn others, make sure you are living it out perfectly yourself which I guarantee you are not unless you are the Risen Christ. There is no condemnation for those who are IN CHRIST. We do not look at another person and point at them and say SIN SIN SIN. We look at them and see Jesus in them and embrace them regardless of their SINS.
@Sween9261 You are simply anti-Amy Grant! The Bible states "Whom the Lord loves he chastens" Heb. 12:6. More power to you if you've never had to be chastised by God, more likely, if you've never been chastised by God, you aren't one of his children. The theme of the song is that when we reach our lowest point and cry out to God, he is there. Why is this so dificult for you to understand? Your hatred is blinding you.
You guys need to lighten up. It is a song, give me a break. All you guys are going to be very disappointed when you see who all is in heaven with you. Most of them won't be your fundamentalist buddies either.
This was a wonderful song. I spent years in a church where you got a dirty look if you indicated that you were saddened or scared by any situation. You were supposed to have a smile on your face at all times and always be praising the Lord and anything else was taken as a lack of faith or a failure on your part as a Christian.
I just read the lyrics and they are so refreshing coming from a Christian artist. She seems to understand what it is to be human as well as Christian. Thank's Amy
Maybe this song is trying to make valid point about people needing to be open with God and not fake it, but it does it very poorly. YHWH takes no pleasure in suffering. Yes, He can use it to bring good, but He does not prefer to hear our cries of pain rather than praise. Yikes! I can just see people's heart being hardened against God, unfairly, by these lyrics.
@valerieedenW His pleasure is not in the suffering, it is because we are coming to Him for our needs, forgiveness, and a connection, and not only in admiration and praise.

I love this song. I Pray that we all can stop playing church can stop going through the motions and really feel the meaning of Gods Word in our hearts. We are the body of Christ and all on our own walks with God. We need to make sure we are strictly witnesses not judges leading by example is a good way to not cast stones. I love you all and God Bless
Regardless of her personal life this song is to be blunt awful. The fact that it has a catchy melody makes it worse. Hallelujah means Praise the the LORD to say that God would rather here people cry is ridiculous.Yes God would rather here a heartfelt prayer from a broken heart then a phony Hallelujah shouted in church but that's not what she's saying. We are to Praise Him ALWAYS to say otherwise is not profound or inspired just sadly mislead at best.

@Asurething100 His pleasure is because we are coming to Him for our needs, forgiveness, and a connection, and not only in worship and praise. He would choose us to make sure we take care to have a relationship with Him rather than admiration only (that's why it's "sometimes").
@geargemartin, and your point is what? That you therefore do not need to repent? That you don't need to obey God's Commandments? That God is a liar, and He does not mean what He says at (Heb10:26-27)? That God is wrong, and Amy is not in an unrepentant, on-going state of adultery (Mark10:12)(1Cor7:10-11)(Rom7:3) that assures she has NO inheritance in God's Kingdom (1Cor6:9)? That it is OK to lead children into sin (Luke17:1-2)? And you don't believe what He says at (1John3:6)? Is that it?
To @bigkitchenjaybo- As someone who has been a Christian for well over 35 years I do know scripture inside and out and it's disappointing, that someone is using this forum to bash someone for their supposed lack of knowledge. Truth without grace is judgement , grace is the unmerited favor ( of God) that none of us deserve. Please remember that . ( and how do you know Amy Grant didn't repent ? )
@Robin54C For the record, I have personally heard Amy repent on my local Christian radio station. The DJ there, who is a friend of mine, is also a friend of hers, and he hosted her in a very frank discussion of her adultery, divorce and subsequent remarriage. At that point there was no turning back for her but repentance. She very honestly said she ruined a lot of lives through her sin, and she called it for what it was. I think we would all do well to remember Psalm 51 here.
@VioletKitty411, you don't hear repentance, you see it. Repentance means to turn away from sin. You will know that Amy has turned away from sin when she leaves the ranks of the children of disobedience, stops committing adultery a/t Mark 10:12 and Romans 7:3, and proves her belief and love of God a/t John 14:23-24 by keeping God's commandment at 1Corinthians 7:10-11. Until then, she remains described by 1Corinthians 6:9 and James 4:4, loving her sin more than she loves God.
@VioletKitty411 Amen! Some people are so caught up in "religion" that bashing is something they do daily. They are like the early church in Rev. 3. They were rich, had good commerce, but had no water. They had the Romans bring water from the two closest cities....like the water and their faith, they were lukewarm. Though rich (like the pharisees) they turned their noses to faith and favored religion. I can see she has repented as you can see her heart thru her eyes.
We're watching a musician perform. If you choose to judge (though God is the only one who truly may), judge her performance. Not the choices she has made.
Amy Grant has always been my favorite since I was 5. Her choices, because they have no effect on my own life, do not sway my love for her as a person and as an artist. I will always be supportive of Amy Grant.
Gosh I remember when Amy and I were really young, about the time of Julie Parker, I really liked Julie, wonder where she is now.
It is God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit we need to open up to, and it is the sincere repentance that God seeks, a repentance that comes with it the willingness to be remolded in the likeness of God in all aspects.
@bigkitchenjaybo, you are correct about Robin54C and thousands of others for whom that fragment likely is the only Scripture they know, and they do not even know where to cite it. They say it in attempt to silence followers of Christ Jesus from even speaking of sin in general, let alone theirs in particular. As you discern, they may even claim forgiveness of unrepented sin without repentance, which obviates God's Word, including (Hebrews10:26-27). They love their sin more than they love God.
@Sween9261 you do the same thing Sween. You are a passive aggressive troll. You do say things in attempts to silence followers of JC. IF they truly are followers of Jesus Christ, it isn't the nature of JC to sin. It is the Holy Spirit guiding them 2 do what is right. U don't do right. U masquerade as many different screen names to bully people. Do U even know that is wrong? It saddens God and is a sin. So, no born again Christian loves sin. They learn to discern what is right & wrong.
@iluvreflect, Amen! By all means, read the whole Bible, regularly, thoroughly, with prayer and diligence! Reach out to God, and He will reach back to you. Draw close to Him, and He will draw close to you.
God speaks for Himself. We cannot cite all of God's Word in 500 characters, let alone quote large statements, but there is no doubt whatsoever, from constant repetition in both word and deed that God holds sexual immorality in disdain! To love it more than you love God is spiritual death!
@Sween9261 your arrogance does not honor God. Your proud assertion that you speak for God and know all the circumstances is in fact blasphemous. In one arrogant statement, you accuse believers who find your accusations hateful of not having read the Scriptures. Um, not so much.
Get down on your knees and off your high horse and stop deluding yourself you know the inner workings of the heart of another believer. God has not made you her judge.
@Sween9261 You need to do some serious Matthew 18 reading. This isn't for you to judge. If we never made any mistakes in following God's word there would have never been any reason for the Cross. You and people like you keep people from receiving God's grace and mercy at the feet of His Son Jesus. I hope you can turn from your legalism and get that plank out of your eye, so you can see the mercy and love of Christ. I feel so sorry for you, knowing His word, yet missing His message by so far.
@Sween9261 - What is your definition of repentance? What makes you think YOU have repented of all your sins based on your definition of repentance? What makes you think YOU are worthy of forgiveness based on your definition of repentance?
@kevingp12, Christ Jesus tells us why people reject God's Word. Notice how often He says they will have no excuse. We often speak of Eve being deceived by the serpent who told her that God did not really mean what He said, but God never considered that an excuse to disobey God. Unrepentant adulteresses who want to insist that God does not mean what He says at (1Cor6:9) will discover the truth that Eve discovered. God means what He says, and the children of disobedience have hell waiting.
@Xwannagod, just because you don't want a god will not change Who God is. Christ Jesus tells us why people reject Him. (John3:20): "For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed." And, to His brothers (John7:7): "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil."
Atheists and unrepentant adulteresses reject God's Word because they love their sin more than they love God.
@Sween9261 AWWWH! Atheists and unrepentant adulteresses don't rejet God's Word. They misunderstood from the first place. Maybe, you can use kind words of love to help show them the way. Everyone has boo boos each day. All sin is equal in God's eyes. All sin can be forgiven if you ask Christ into your life thru salvation. Did you miss that part? Christ is God's physical and spiritual example of love.
these comments are so fun to read, stuff about sinning through ones religion amoung other things, its always funny h\to me how you take a christian and you say your athiest, how they do one of two things. 1: beg for you to reconcider (like their religion is the only one out there), or 2: demand that the athiests heracey be repent through bloodloss or the scourn of ones own thoughts. not very Christian, going by what is said here
@PrairieWolf63, what's really sad is when people, for whatever reason, believe the lie of the devil that God does not mean what He says, and they believe they can substitute their own judgment and worldly opinions for God's Word.
When that's done out of ignorance, there is hope for education; but when people do it to satisfy their own worldly lusts, or because they love their sin more than God, they are on the broad path to perdition. Why don't you believe what God says at (Heb10:26-27)?
@hoopy1111, your question is answered clearly by God. He says that Amy is in an on-going state of adultery (Mark10:12), (1Cor7:10-11), (Rom7:3), and He says that unrepentant adulteresses have no inheritance in His Kingdom (1Cor6:9), and that such adulteresses are enemies of God (James4:4). He says that those who continue in disobedience after knowing the truth should expect fiery judgment (Heb10:26-27). Amy's modeling sin to "little ones" subjects her to (Luke17:1-2). Not an enviable place!
I find that those who judge others usually have skeletons in their own closet and by judging others, they somehow feel better about themselves. I think I can speak on behalf of most people that Amy Grant is a very talented and beautiful singer whose songs bring comfort to many. I also think that is what Christ sees when he smiles at her. Thank you Amy for all your hard work! We love you and appreciate you!!
Eve did not believe God, & so she bought the devil’s lie that God does not mean what He says. As a result, the whole world was cursed.
Amy & her worshipers do not believe God, & so they buy the devil’s lie that God does not mean what He says. As a result, they remain in unrepentant, disobedient states of on-going adultery [Mark10:12, 1Cor7:10-11, Rom7:3, Luke16:18] which God says makes them His enemies [James4:4] & condemns them to hell [1Cor6:9, Heb10:26-27].

@EclecticDaydreamer, I agree with Sween9261's statement above: "I judge no one. But, I do believe God when He says John12:48, which includes 1Cor7:10-11 and Mark10:12."
Do you believe God? He tells His disciples John7:24 & 1Cor6:3. Why don't you hear Him?
When God says unrepentant sodomites & adulteresses like Amy go to hell [1Cor6:9, Heb10:26-27] why wouldn't anyone who believes God cease her adultery? Failure to STOP doing what God says condemns you to hell proves unbelief. [Luke8:21]

Wow what happened to forgiveness. The bible says he who is without sin cast the first stone. Why do you look at the speck in your brothers eye and ignore the plank in your eye. If she asked God to forgive her then He did. God is in the restoration business.

@patty7beth, indeed, you've pegged it -- you are clueless. If you knew God's Word, you'd know that He tells us Amy is in an on-going state of unrepentant adultery [Mark10:12, Luke16:18, Rom7:3, 1Cor7:10-11]. You'd know He tells us she is His enemy [James4:4] who is going to hell [Heb10:26-27, 1Cor6:9]. If you knew Him, loved Him, believed Him, you would hear Him. No reason He gives for your spiritual deafness is good! [John8:47; John3:20; Rom1:28; 1John3:8; Rom11:8; John12:40; 2Thes2:11-12].

@yeeeaaawhooo - When someone reads the bible in a state of hate, it is void of The Spirit. They will use it to spread hate. They do not point and tell people to look towards Jesus Christ.. They first point to the sinner and condemn them to hell and then point to themselves and show how spiritually superior they are. The word becomes uninspired and no different than islam fundamentalism or other self-righteous religions.

@yeeeaaawhooo Here's a question for you: If a person who was divorced and has remarried PRIOR to becoming a Christian, upon becoming a Christian,must that person divorce their current spouse and live a life of celibacy if reconciliation with the first spouse is not possible? If that is the case, then how can the Bible say that God hates divorce, if He requires it a second time to "show repentance"?

If Grant's relationship with Vince Gill began in adultery - but she honestly repented of that sin after she married Gill, then Scripture says plainly she should NOT leave her new spouse to remarry the former. If her repentance doesn't meet your approval, That's unfortunate, but God's opinion counts, not yours. You don't know her heart, or her current standing with God. Odd to be so focused on a past sin of another, not your own. It doesn't justify her sin to find yours appalling.

@pennysouix, you'll have to be more specific. Waving your arms in the direction of the Bible, and spouting unsupported opinion counts for nothing. Falsely accusing people of being judgmental when they quote, reference, or point to God's Word, is the epitome of judgmentalism yourself, especially if you haven't even read the Scriptures referenced.
God speaks for Himself! Believers believe what He says, unbelievers don't. Some, like Amy, make up their own false theology, often to justify adultery.

@1206kam, given what God says about apostasy (incl. Heb6:4-6 and 2Pet2:20-22), that it is IMPOSSIBLE to restore such people, and they would have been better off NEVER to have known Him, Amy would have more hope if her prior claims were as false as her present claims. God says she has NO inheritance in His Kingdom, she is His enemy, no sacrifice remains (Heb10:26-27) and only fiery judgment awaits. Leading little ones to sin adds (Luke17:1-2), and we should not even pray about it (1John5:16).

A marriage can be a mistake just like anything else & if divorce is necessary it will be forgiven like any other thing we fail at. Our sins are covered and thrown as far as the East is from the West. The only ones who remember them are the hypocrites that THINK they DON"T sin! Remember not all who shout "Lord, Lord!" will enter Heaven..."Mat 6:15 But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive you your sins." I forgive Amy and pray you all do to.

All the rules simply point to how anything that falls short of a real Christ to the church relationship needs forgiveness so that we can have a true mate. If WE put ourselves in a relationship that is abusive or negligent, He didn't do that, and we took something that didn't belong to us. Now if that "spouse" that we stole were money, would Jesus want us to keep it?

@KhmerKreation, what matters is what God says. Amy pretends to be Christian, and says His Word is a light to her path, lying as she disobeys God's commandments. She would be less hypocritical to claim to be Buddhist, though no more justified. God commands married women not to leave, but if they do, they must remain single [1Cor7:10-11]. If they "marry" someone else while their husbands live, they are adulteresses. [Mark10:12; Rom7:3] Sween9261is right on what God says on that. see [Matt7:21-23]

Mercy triumphs over judgement. Only when we as Christians hate the will to judge [the fruit produced when one is truly free] will He give us a new mind and will that is free from any personal agenda, and thus truly motivated by His Love. So much damage has been done by Christians judging in the wrong spirit and unwilling to be corrected and humble themselves. Usually it is immaturity, and lets face it, arent we all immature in some area no matter how long we have been serving Him?

God gave the rich young man a choice: to obey God and follow Him, or to clutch to his worldly wealth and walk away. The rich young man made the wrong choice - just like unrepentant adulteresses who love their sin more than they love God. Unwilling to obey God, they walk away. They have no “walk with” God, only a disobedient walk away from God – like Judas and Herodias. Vainly they deny God’s Word, make up their own theologies and justifications for their sin. But, God is no fool. [Rev21:8]

@KhmerKreation, those who do not persevere may not be saved (Matt10:22). God says that Amy Grant exists in an on-going state of adultery (Mark10:12; 1Cor7:10-11; Rom7:3), that such adulteresses make themselves enemies of God (James4:4), and that such sexually-immoral people have NO inheritance in God's Kingdom. To go around telling people otherwise, and modeling such sin as okay, suggests a millstone would be better (Luke17:1-2) than the certain fiery judgment (Heb10:26-27). God is no liar!

@KhmerKreation, no, God is not the only one who knows, though He is the One Who defines adultery (Including at Mark10:12, Rom7:3, 1Cor7:10-11, and Luke16:18). The public heard Amy's admission, and knows about the evidential letter that Vince Gill's wife found in his golf bag while Amy still was living with Gary Chapman. God already has expressed His judgment, saying such unrepentant adulteresses are His enemies (James4:4) and have NO inheritance in His Kingdom (1Cor6:9). (Heb10:26-27) applies.

At that point there was no turning back for her but repentance. She very honestly said she ruined a lot of lives through her sin, and she called it for what it was. I think we would all do well to remember Psalm 51 here.

Gosh I remember when Amy and I were really young, about the time of Julie Parker, I really liked Julie, wonder where she is now.
It is God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit we need to open up to, and it is the sincere repentance that God seeks, a repentance that comes with it the willingness to be remolded in the likeness of God in all aspects.

I saw Amy last night, and she was phenomenal! The last time I'd seen her was in the 90's in NYC. She get better and more beautiful with age!

@bigkitchenjaybo, you are correct about Robin54C and thousands of others for whom that fragment likely is the only Scripture they know, and they do not even know where to cite it. They say it in attempt to silence followers of Christ Jesus from even speaking of sin in general, let alone theirs in particular. As you discern, they may even claim forgiveness of unrepented sin without repentance, which obviates God's Word, including (Hebrews10:26-27). They love their sin more than they love God.

@Sween9261 you do the same thing Sween. You are a passive aggressive troll. You do say things in attempts to silence followers of JC. IF they truly are followers of Jesus Christ, it isn't the nature of JC to sin. It is the Holy Spirit guiding them 2 do what is right. U don't do right. U masquerade as many different screen names to bully people. Do U even know that is wrong? It saddens God and is a sin. So, no born again Christian loves sin. They learn to discern what is right & wrong.

@iluvreflect, Amen! By all means, read the whole Bible, regularly, thoroughly, with prayer and diligence! Reach out to God, and He will reach back to you. Draw close to Him, and He will draw close to you.
God speaks for Himself. We cannot cite all of God's Word in 500 characters, let alone quote large statements, but there is no doubt whatsoever, from constant repetition in both word and deed that God holds sexual immorality in disdain! To love it more than you love God is spiritual death!

@Sween9261 your arrogance does not honor God. Your proud assertion that you speak for God and know all the circumstances is in fact blasphemous. In one arrogant statement, you accuse believers who find your accusations hateful of not having read the Scriptures. Um, not so much.
Get down on your knees and off your high horse and stop deluding yourself you know the inner workings of the heart of another believer. God has not made you her judge.

@Sween9261 You need to do some serious Matthew 18 reading. This isn't for you to judge. If we never made any mistakes in following God's word there would have never been any reason for the Cross. You and people like you keep people from receiving God's grace and mercy at the feet of His Son Jesus. I hope you can turn from your legalism and get that plank out of your eye, so you can see the mercy and love of Christ. I feel so sorry for you, knowing His word, yet missing His message by so far.

@Sween9261 - What is your definition of repentance? What makes you think YOU have repented of all your sins based on your definition of repentance? What makes you think YOU are worthy of forgiveness based on your definition of repentance?

@kevingp12, Christ Jesus tells us why people reject God's Word. Notice how often He says they will have no excuse. We often speak of Eve being deceived by the serpent who told her that God did not really mean what He said, but God never considered that an excuse to disobey God. Unrepentant adulteresses who want to insist that God does not mean what He says at (1Cor6:9) will discover the truth that Eve discovered. God means what He says, and the children of disobedience have hell waiting.

@Xwannagod, just because you don't want a god will not change Who God is. Christ Jesus tells us why people reject Him. (John3:20): "For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed." And, to His brothers (John7:7): "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil."
Atheists and unrepentant adulteresses reject God's Word because they love their sin more than they love God.

@Sween9261 AWWWH! Atheists and unrepentant adulteresses don't rejet God's Word. They misunderstood from the first place. Maybe, you can use kind words of love to help show them the way. Everyone has boo boos each day. All sin is equal in God's eyes. All sin can be forgiven if you ask Christ into your life thru salvation. Did you miss that part? Christ is God's physical and spiritual example of love.

these comments are so fun to read, stuff about sinning through ones religion amoung other things, its always funny h\to me how you take a christian and you say your athiest, how they do one of two things. 1: beg for you to reconcider (like their religion is the only one out there), or 2: demand that the athiests heracey be repent through bloodloss or the scourn of ones own thoughts. not very Christian, going by what is said here

@PrairieWolf63, what's really sad is when people, for whatever reason, believe the lie of the devil that God does not mean what He says, and they believe they can substitute their own judgment and worldly opinions for God's Word.
When that's done out of ignorance, there is hope for education; but when people do it to satisfy their own worldly lusts, or because they love their sin more than God, they are on the broad path to perdition. Why don't you believe what God says at (Heb10:26-27)?

@hoopy1111, your question is answered clearly by God. He says that Amy is in an on-going state of adultery (Mark10:12), (1Cor7:10-11), (Rom7:3), and He says that unrepentant adulteresses have no inheritance in His Kingdom (1Cor6:9), and that such adulteresses are enemies of God (James4:4). He says that those who continue in disobedience after knowing the truth should expect fiery judgment (Heb10:26-27). Amy's modeling sin to "little ones" subjects her to (Luke17:1-2). Not an enviable place!

I find that those who judge others usually have skeletons in their own closet and by judging others, they somehow feel better about themselves. I think I can speak on behalf of most people that Amy Grant is a very talented and beautiful singer whose songs bring comfort to many. I also think that is what Christ sees when he smiles at her. Thank you Amy for all your hard work! We love you and appreciate you!!
