Piggyback from Mack's FB Post & Lee's Comment

I dare you Cookie!!!

  OMG - no you did NOT!!!!!!!

girl - you having a flashback to them days??????  I thought I was doing good cause I used to try to space them out so there was at least one post in between the devotional and the Freaky Friday question........ just seemed like proper protocol to me..........

Yes, I DID!!!  I'm a rebel through and through!

This really burns my ass.  See, I grew up in the strictest of strict Holiness churches.  We had a list of "DO NOTs" as long as your arm!  That was pure bondage. 

I turned into a pure ****ho/fornicator/liar when I left that church.  GOD rescued me.  HE picked me up, cleaned me up, and gave me a different mind and heart.  NOBODY can tell me about HIS grace and mercy.  Boy, the stories I could tell you. 

As long as I "strive"  (keyword "strive") to please my Father, I don't give **** who thinks I'm hypocritical.  Kiss My ENTIRE FLAT ass!

Whoooosahhhh.


Okay, I'm emotional today.  Excuse me Saints of the Most High God!

<------ I just fell SMOOTH the FUCK OUT!!!!!




Whoooeeessssaaaaaa my friend, wooooo mofoin SA!!!!

and Jesus wept.

**chuch fanga** Rhonda!!!!!!  get the Caddy!!!!!!!!!

As a old friend of mine use to say  

"Jesus gone whoop yo azz"   AMEN !

I often wondered if that was a prayer since she ended it with Amen.

  Lee..... please..... STOP!!!!!!

WHAT NOT LIL OL SWEET COOKIE. LOL

Before I attempt this one let me state from the beginning,for me the Bible is the only credible source to answer these questions. My opinion does not count! As a professing Christian this is my authority. I cannot speak for any other faith. This is my conviction of the truth. Now,As another poster pointed out because I have not died yet, faith is my basis. Even if i am wrong living like this makes the world a little better especially for those around me. The joeette before Jesus was not a nice person. I was horribly wounded. My obesity (eating) was a clear sign of that.Wounded people are like wounded animals. they will bite even rescuers.  having said that, here we go:

John 1:1 says,In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  Always the final authority!

The Apostle Paul answers in Philippians 3:13 New Century version

Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached that goal, but there is one thing
 
I always do. Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead  I keep trying to reach the
goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above.

Mack wrote,"If one is "truly" Christian, does that mean they never do anything wrong or act inappropriately?

The same John who is referred to as St. john and wrote the gospel of the same name and the Book of Revelation also wrote : 1John 1:5-10
Here is the message we have heard from Christ and now announce to you: God is

light,^{c]">[c]">cc]">]} and in him there is no darkness at all. ⁶ So if we say we have fellowship

with God, but we continue living in darkness, we are liars and do not follow the

truth.⁷ But if we live in the light, as God is in the light, we can share fellowship

with each other. Then the blood of Jesus, God's Son, cleanses us from every sin.

⁸ If we say we have no sin, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth is not in us.⁹

But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do
what is right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done.¹⁰ If we say we
have not sinned, we make God a liar, and we do not accept God's teaching.

Mack wrote: "To me, the definition of Christian is simply "one who believes in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit" 

James the brother of the LORD Jesus wrote in James 2:19, You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that. And they tremble! 

 Mack wrote,"now - from there, it gets into the validity of that based on what folk feel like people SHOULD be doing

The only opinion that counts is God's. We are called to encourage one another to right living.Even if this means pointing out wrong thinking or actions (based on the WORD, not our opinion) I think Jesus said it best when asked what was the key to eternal life? 
Luke 10:27

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all

your mind."^{g]">[g]">gg]">]} Also, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."<sup>h]">[h]">h]

I think that would keep us all very busy if we really did it.
