     | 16,777 views

    Emotions And Sensory Spirituality

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 24, 2017
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,044 views

    God never intended emotions or feelings to guide or reveal what is right or wrong. They are constantly changing, and they need to be controlled because they can take control of a person and lead them into serious error and deception.

They are essential for processing, learning, perception, reasoning, problem-solving and adapting to the events of ...read more

    THE NEIGHBOURLY KINDNESS OF THE HATED SAMARITAN. Luke 10:25-37.
