The moment Man believes that he is greater than God, he screws up because he can't predict what's going to happen to him the next moment.

When a human decides to play god they ended up being dead at the end. He wasn’t a god. He’s a human being and he ended up being killed in the end. He belongs to the fallen angel who betrayed God.

Your personal relationship with God is the most important. Spiritual books like the bible just help to strengthen that and help you to understand God's nature and commandments. A church is supposed to help members be strengthened and help one another. Corrupt leaders misinterpret the scriptures to get gain and will be held accountable in the last days for that.

3:26 Olivia going off was so needed omg she’s an amazing actor 😮‍💨😮‍💨

No man who's going to leave his wife would be wearing his wedding ring at death. He loved her, and for all this time, she saw him as a traitor based off the word of one man she was too delusional to question. She failed as a wife and a mother.

I love Olivia Benson caring about children matters

8:59 -- Oh I KNEW that's when he finally overreached. She KNEW there is no mere mortal human greater than God. As a matter of fact even Jesus was subordinate to God the Father.

Having only watched the clips just one thing really stuck with me. I don’t think it was the detective that convinced her to believe her. “He said he was greater than God but nobody is.” She realized right then that he couldn’t be telling the truth because it went against her beliefs. He screwed himself
