And what he was basically doing was hooking up with a younger, prettier woman because his wife had had a child who was severely disabled. And it was really hard. And he was going to abandon them and his first marriage because this was a lot prettier and easier and more fun. And God was telling him. I guarantee you God was not telling them that. Yeah. And how do I know?

Well, because... It violates scripture. God wants us to be faithful. You know, he says, never will I leave you or forsake you. And marriage is a mirror of that. You know, Jesus said God's the one who brings two together as one, and they're meant to mirror the oneness he wants to have with us.

You do? Yeah, I read and studied. But I'm not an expert on it, so I'm out of my lane talking about it. But I think what they're referring to is that God is a God of order. He's created... laws of nature, I think spiritual laws as well. And yes, what I have heard is that, you know, there is, it's like the military. There's certain levels of authority and hierarchy.

And I mean, Paul references that in Ephesians 5, 6, in Ephesians 6. There's powers, principalities, the dark forces of evil in the world. And he's talking about... A hierarchy. There's a hierarchy. There is an organization to both the angel and the demonic. And so I think what they're talking about is that, for instance...

If we choose to give ourselves over, let's say you like wine or alcohol, whatever, but you choose to keep giving yourself over to it again and again and again. A vice. Yeah, anything. It can be a good thing, but it can then gain control over you, mastery over you. And I think that is maybe what that legal thing is talking about.

Because if you think about how evil works in the world, I don't think evil really has much power except in the power of the lie. So I've used the example, I've counseled like anorexic women in our church before, right? But guys have their own thing. But I remember this woman who literally was starving herself to death thinking that she was horribly overweight and terribly ugly.

None of it was true. But she had believed a lie, and that lie was now controlling her to actually slowly kill herself. Well, same thing with suicidal ideation. It's a lie. There's no other way out. It's hopeless. This is going to end the pain and the despair. Well, near-death experiencers consistently say, no, it doesn't. Yeah, it's just a doorway.
