serously what are you talking about!!
thank you for your answer babaji
@Trillian You do know that that saying is not actually in the Bible right?
@adaqua “God helps those who help themselves.”
@facade, yes, I know. That wasn’t my point.
I guess it means nobody’s going to see God.
It’s a “carrot” for believing in the religion.
As in “carrot/stick” for manipulating behavior.
A stick version of the saying would be cursed are the impure of heart for they will burn forever in hell.
The line is often misquoted. The actual quote (in several different English versions) is “Blessed are the pure in heart…”.
To me, to be pure in heart is to act honestly with no hidden agenda.
