That sounds very legalistic and very cult like

@@upbestsalt1551, god indeed wants us to live miserable lives. In the Bible, I never found a single verse where god wants us to enjoy life. You were probably reading out of context or something.

@@KevinKurzsartdisplay what about Ecclesiastes 8:15? or 1 Corinthians 10:31? or Ecclesiastes 8:15? there are many verses where it says you can have enjoyment. just make sure it's glorifying god. don't listen to those legalistic Christians that say otherwise

@@upbestsalt1551, let me repeat myself to you, god intentionally wants us to suffer in life whether you like it or not. Or rather he wants us to enjoy pain, dwell on it, intensify it and embrace it. For those who’re living a prosperous life like I do, they will burn in hell because god hates a happy person. Once I’ve learned this truth, I stopped thanking god for anything good in my life. God personally and objectively hates these kinds of people, he is sick of us, he doesn’t find their joy cute or whatever, he verbally finishes those kinds of people through the scriptures of the Bible.

@@KevinKurzsartdisplay while he does wants us to take victory in hard times he never said he hates anyone who's happy. In fact he made us have the desire to enjoy his creations. Enjoy talking to fellow believers. Enjoying life. Now if the fun you are doing is sinful then don't do it, but there times where God wants us to rest. I'm sorry if someone told you that God hates you and I pray that you find the real truth about God for yourself. You don't have to agree with me but I do want you to seek Jesus Christ and accept him into your heart. May God bless you

we must do what Jesus say also don't listen to what someone say but what Jesus said ask guidance to God by his Holy Spirit

Actually, Solomon is adressing both righteous and wicked, explaining in chapter 8 how death takes both of them and neither know their day or hour.

Obviously we know now that Christ redirects on the last day, and the wicked are thrown into the furnace, but you get the idea. This pastor is righteous.

@@discipledesigned how can a righteous lie ?

Nice arrangement. Db Aolian ?

Teacher, it is a sin for us to eat, drink, and be merry?

Not really unless is in god standard

@@voldmerot We should ask Jesus for everything by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our teacher John 14:25 25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the [a]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

but the verse says "Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do." thats toward christians and in the whole passage, he is talking's to christians. but anyways! don't wanna argue just wanna share interpretations!

Hi brother. You are close, but I'll throw my 2 cents in. Someone can believe in God and still go to Hell. Even the demons know and believe in God, even moreso than us humans. They were once in His presence and they still fall. So to me belief in God is not enough for salvation. I also think that having Jesus Christ as your Savior is only part of salvation, but there is still a key component missing. Lordship. He needs to be our Savior, but He absolutely must be our Lord in order for us to be saved. Not everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Matthew 7:21). And anyone who loves Jesus keeps His commands. (John 14:15). I just wanted to clarify this and I hope this helps you on your walk with the Lord. In brotherly love, Simon

@@myjoyinacross6626 you need to get back and study the bible my Goodness....

@@myjoyinacross6626 hold on, are you a Mormon?

Jesus said "The world's sin is that it doesn't believe in me"

If you believe in God then you will not do bad things. You cannot believe without your actions showing your beliefs. Your actions are your beliefs. Be very careful. You are preaching for others to sin. It is heresy.

joe shmo she's praising God in her own way through music, it isn't your place to judge her. If you want a more solemn version of this song, you can go find one.

Project much, shmo?

It's actually a CHRISTIAN hymn, sung in Christian churches of various denominations.

Yes and Catholics are the first Christians

I'm very happy that it is a song sung in the Roman Catholic Church, but hymns often have a very long and beautifully convoluted history. And in this case, the Roman Catholics come in rather late to the history of this hymn. The words of the hymn come from the Liturgy of Saint James which originated with the Church in Jerusalem around 347. And so, it comes out of the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition, not the Roman Catholic tradition. In 1864, the Greek text of the song was translated into English by an Anglican priest. The English composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) paired the words with a French folk melody for the English Hymnal of 1906 (which was for the Church of England). I'm not sure when the Roman Catholic Church first introduced this hymn into their hymnal, but, as I said, they were latecomers.

Paul Gman Fernando Ortega has two renditions of this hymn, and they are equally good. In fact, the one that starts a cappella is, in my opinion, the best ever. He doesn’t slide notes like this lady does.

😅😂🤣❤️

It’s our offertory hymn each Sunday. My favorite!

nerdguy How can any music that is of God be abominable? I believe any and all forms of praising Him are worthy.

Sound like you know what GOD likes/dislikes? It is the heart which is the most essence here for any Christian.

He who sings well ,prays twice.....the criticism by the Observer was not subtle but I think we can all agree with the Message....God bless all Christians
