Kyrie Discusses The Pressure Of Being An NBA Star

[@bakarytraore5712]

This conversation was dope because you don’t get lost in argumentative conversations and etc. Eddie impressed me in the way he can carry a discussion about various depths in this conversation. If you understand or try to understand Kyrie then you’d understand that he isn’t a crowd pleaser but a real person just enjoying the journey he takes in this world. You don’t get a handbook or step by step guide on how to be a father, superstar, head of the house, “quarterback” of your family, financial advice, husband, brand and etc. Respect people’s decision because when all the cameras and lights are off, you don’t have to deal with the consequences of their decisions and vice versa.

Kyrie is just a good brotha who's growing as a Human Being and seems to wanna live and learn as he goes...When you understand that everybody isn't going to like you for who you are it just makes it much easier to live who you are...No hate from people will change who you are and will evolve to and that's what I think Kyrie goes by

[@freedbyyeshua533]

God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). We’re not sinners because we sin, but rather we sin because we’re sinners. Sin is the nature of our flesh that we are born with due to the sin of Adam in the garden. For someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless. We’ve all sinned (Romans 3:23), and the the law demands death for those who sin (Romans 6:23). God is righteous, so He must punish our sin, which is what He did through His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus is Holy and sinless, yet He received our sin when He died on the cross, so that we can be righteous before God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He died on the cross, He said “It is finished” (John 19:30), which means He paid the full price for all of your sins (past, present, and future) to be forgiven. He was buried and rose again from the dead. God will forgive anybody who puts their full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. We aren’t saved based on our good deeds, but only by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). His precious blood that He shed is the only reason why we can be forgiven of our sins (Hebrews 9:22). If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved (Romans 10:9). You are born-again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and are not only legally justified before God, but also are accredited His righteous (Romans 4:24). Believers live for Christ now, so get to know Him through His Word. I recommend reading the book of Romans and the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and watching Pastor Joseph Prince’s online sermons!
