A Seat For Jesus

18,900 views

In this episode, Dr. Michael Heiser explores the ancient belief in *the evil eye* and asks whether the Bible reflects this idea. The discussion examines references in the Old and New Testaments, including Proverbs, Deuteronomy, Matthew, Luke, and Galatians, showing how biblical writers used “evil eye” language to address envy, greed, hostility, spiritual darkness, and the danger of turning away from the gospel.

Gotmans did a study and they proved that contemptuous looks from a spouse can cause the others immune system suppression and they get sick. The evil eye seems to be a reality. I think a cruel and contentious divorce is the ultimate example of the evil eye.

Man how cool would it have been for Tolkien to sit down with Heiser. Their love for languages and shared Christian context would create some amazing talks.

greed vs generosity is in the eyes

It seems that when a person looks on another with contempt this could be thought of as an evil eye. Also, betrayal seems to be like an evil eye.

It stands to reason that since the "evil eye" is negative and begrudging that the ower would do his best to conceal it from others. So not withstanding that there may be no mystical power therein the share secrecy of this malovelent nature is attributed to a hidden mystical force for after all who can tell who is the begruding soul hiding malicious intent behind smiles and cunning eyes.
I could see how each unfortunate outcome for which the victim held enthusiastic optimism might be the work of .....
THE EVIL EYE😡.
For who can tell where this malice lie?

We are saved by Gods grace but we will be judged by our works. Not works of the Mosaic law ⚖ but works of charity and for the love of Jesus.

Uncontextual pseudo intellectual quazi spiritual comment here! Dont mind me just airing out my inability to interpret a logical argument by acknowledging that processes have jump points to understanding depending on cultural background. 😉

Love Dr Heizer but won’t LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO WITH THAT EVIL LOOK ON THE SCREEN. WHY WOULD YOU "LEAVE IT"?

So Paul was against James who preached works and the prophets and Jesus who preached law?! It’s one thing to say saved by works and another to preach against works and law and they are both wrong.
