aslan17 made a post a while back titled as "What is Worse, Lying or Being Abusive?" Kind of strikes me that when one weighs that question in TRUTH- we get a clear view of what aslan17 has for a mindset. Since posting it, he's been showing us that false faith and false "holiness" is a sight to see indeed.  So what if we turn the tables and ask a different question about the reality of the hypocrisy aslan17 is so fully engaged in and so massively proud of? What if we examine how well and truly the temptation to "play holy" can astoundingly unmask the black hearts we do indeed discover in such "holiness" killers as pride, grace misused, false faith in our own judgment and understanding and even the false sense of SECURITY that sinners have while mocking God with their own ideas of what right and wrong actually are. Is HONESTY even important anymore? If it IS- then why would folks KNOW EVERYONE IS A SINNER BY CHOICE- and yet ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO REMAIN IN SIN- and even try to pretend they are in CONTROL of their ability to do better somehow? Why would folks try SOOOOOOoooooooo hard to claim that THEY ARE DOING BETTER when they aren't? Why would folks DENY the fact that they LIKE SIN- so they CHOOSE IT PURPOSELY when they think it's ok and then try to REPENT and make themselves so very much stronger AGAINST what they know is gunna happen again no matter WHAT they do to resist. Jesus said HONESTY IS UTMOST if you want to get past the sin you will not deny and quit doing. He said you MUST BE HONEST if you ever wish to become sin free and remain that way. Jesus taught us that TRUTH is extremely important in the life of a follower of HIS. He said a PURE HEART will get you back to God for REAL instead of your false notion of "being there" in God's presence while NOT BEING PURE IN HEART. Truth is- you are not there and will never BE- unless your heart is PERFECTLY PURE. There are no short cuts and no exceptions. Reality- from Jesus own mouth. TRUTH. Straight from The Son of God. Doesn't take FAITH to know what Jesus said and understand it. Doesn't take working and struggling and all of that stuff trying so hard to "do better" and change into something God would approve of and still fall short of your stated goal of "whatever" inside a religion that literally FORCES YOU TO BELIEVE YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL ANYWAY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. So which is BETTER. Pretending YOU CAN DO BETTER and still harbor sin and it's consequences while claiming to REEEEEAAAAALLLLYYYY WAAAAAANT to be what your RELIGION DANGLES IN FRONT OF YOU- or the pure honesty of never pretending you are something you are not and LIKELY NEVER WILL BE? Reality? or remain a hypocrite. Might wish to understand- If you are telling God that you REALLY WANT HIM- but never DO stop sinning- He knows yer lying through your teeth to begin with. Is that a PURE HEART? Reality says lying to God is a rather big "no no". Reality says you are going to pay big time for your lies. TRUTH says you can quit if you really wanted to- by following ONLY JESUS and no one else. TRUTH. Or all of your other stuff. Ya already made your choice- but you can always change yer mind. At least while God lets ya. Which is better? God's way- or yours? decide. Both TRUTH and REALTY say God's way is best- not just "better". Not a hard choice at all- if yer not a hypocrite. Think about it. Perfection... Possible? Yup... IF ya wanna TRY. |

As you all know... friendship and honesty are the ultra highest in my world. Honest friendship is the best. However, I realize not everyone is as honest as others. I know that personalities run amuck as well as deceptions. But I try my best in all situations and that is all I can do. All I can expect as well. I do not understand the anger here most times. Since it is for the most part only the printed opinion. All the name calling and threats...is soo disappointing from adults who either KNOW THE LORD or claim to know the Lord. I am here for christian friendship and peace... Well that is my half cent worth.

Don't know what aslan said or how he lives his life..blah blah blah whatever... BUT as far as comparing sins..When I was in 2nd grade, my sunday school teacher taught us that a sin is a sin in God's eyes. A murder and a lie are comparable because both are wrong. In human eyes we tend to rate everything. As far as encouraging..or maybe encouraging isn't the right word...Allowing or giving permission to someone else to sin..makes us feel holier if someone else is rated lower on the God scale in our eyes doesn't it?

 The reality of HONESTY is that it is FREEEEEEEE of pretense. God knows our hearts and the evil that hides there... Why even TRY to say we are trying to do "better" when WE KNOW WE CAN'T. We can MODIFY BEHAVIORS- -But just let someone get tested by THE FATHER. Belly UP like a dead fish. Yet they NEVER LEARN ABOUT HONESTY BEFORE GOD. Ah well... Jesus says "depart" an awful lot. We could stop Him from doing that-- IF ONLY WE WOULD. Perfection... Possible? Yup... IF ya wanna TRY.

I like that word pretense. I looked it up. I was only in the J's. Why can't people just have fun? This place is way out of control! Who in their right freekin mind talks religion 24-7? Why don't people in the same state hook up? Beecause they are phony! How do you like me now BC¿ I'll tell you people what REAL is! REAL is having a beautiful young lady sitting right next to you who only lives 15 feet away. Get a Freekin' grip! I am NOT mad. Just telling it like it is. Who in their right mind would want to give up everthing they know and love to move to another state to be bludgeoned by religion. How many of you really live like you say? You want to talk about sin? BULL! I feel much better now! There you go, Gordy. I think it was a very nice thing that you did for Susan. People WILL NOT tell who to like or dislike. Iwll make that decision on my own, thank you very much!Christians are like Timex watches. We take a lickin', but We keep on tickin'! Steve

P.S. Put up a "Real" Picture. I have confirm ID and my pic was taken less than a month ago. Isn't that deception? Who are you trying to kid? Yourself? Others? Is it helping you? People look at your pic and they associate that pic with you! BLAST! What do you mean that's not really you? The more I type, the better I feel! People here can't even respond to personal emails! Blogging is more important. Get a Freekin' Grip BC! Christians are like Timex watches. We take a lickin', but We keep on tickin'! Steve

But since FEW ever understand THAT teaching, we all think we are indeed "better (or worse ) than ALLLLL OTHER SINNERS. We never DO understand- GOD CAN'T EVEN LOOK ON ANY SIN OR SINNERS. Yet according to the religion- Jesus "paid the price for our sins". If THAT is true- we are FREEEEEEEEEEEE to sin all we like. Right? NOPE. Yet we choose to sin as though Jesus died so we could. "there's that "depart" word again." Until we DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO what Jesus said to DOOOOOOOOO- we will NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT SIN FREE AND PERFECT EVEN MEANS. Perfection... Possible? Yup... IF ya wanna TRY.

I don't know anything about aslan, but I liked the post, it was really good. Don't believe everything you think, God is not a cookie cutter God! Laughing at yourself is better then laughing at someone else.

Jesus gave us the ABILITY to stop sinning. Jesus commanded us to FOLLOW HIM. Jesus made sure we would NEED HIM if we are to become Pure. Jesus offered us WORKS to do that produce miracles. Jesus fine tuned FAITH IN THE FATHER by showing us WHAT TO DO. Jesus tried to show us HOW EASY HIS YOKE IS to "carry" (do ). Jesus LIVED what He was teaching all of those others way back then. Jesus perfected a simple "works" that SAVES PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS. Jesus own example of WORKS AND HIS OWN SALVATION is error proof. Jesus said "I am the WAY..." as a hint that leads to ABSOLUTE perfection and PURITY OF HEART- if only we would DROP EVERYTHING and FOLLOW ONLY HIM and WHAT HE TAUGHT ALL OF THOSE FOLKS BACK THEN TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Jesus made it EASY TO BE SIN FREE. If only we would follow ONLY HIS TEACHINGS AND NO ONE ELSE'S. Jesus. God sent Him to show us what PERFECTION is- in His eyes. Jesus. Did His job PERFECTLY- and said we can do EVEN BETTER than He did. Anyone even WONDER what JESUS SAID YET? Perfection... Possible? Yup... IF ya wanna TRY.
