What Happens When DEMONS Fully Take Over
No, this is NOT to a husband for his secret stash, nor is it stolen or a surprise photo from what I currently understand and there is NO explanation other than, "So What"

Really???
My grandmother was old school COGIC and wouldn't even wear pants or red lipstick. Today, you can go to any COGIC (and non COGIC to be fair) church and see women wearing skin tight club dresses with stiletto heels. Many of the dresses they wear would not be out of place at a nightclub.
ReplyDeleteThere used to be one extreme where everything was wrong and a sin but now there's the other extreme where nothing is wrong and everything is permissible and it's "legalism" to condemn anything.
I think, that's the main problem with Protestantism. Everyone becomes a law unto themselves. I guarantee that she'll say that she has a personal relationship with God and God doesn't mind her taking photos like that and she'll have a Bible verse to justify it.
The Catholics, in my opinion, have it right where only ONE person hears from God. Catholics have their own faults, but you don't hear Catholics saying "God told me XYZ" and have an "I can do whatever I want because I have my own personal relationship with God".
FREEDOM, is a precious thing. God ordains FREEDOM and has made man to be free, regardless of man's choices and decisions on using that freedom. This is where the problem lies.
DeleteThe Bible teaches that God speaks to men and mankind, however, I believe it also teaches that his WORD is consistent with HIS nature and who his word tells us that he is.
The fact is that people can make excuses for anything they want to do, with or without the bible. This is why courts and judges exist. Even in the midst of what appears to be a blatant offense, in most cases, there is a defense and normally that defense is based on an interpretation of law.
So what do we do? Trash the law because some interpret it to justify their criminal and felonious acts? No, most of the time we lean to what is a more compelling interpretation and or argument seeking to use more solid facts.
In this case, although LeAndria has FREEDOM to do what she does and display her character as it is, we also have FREEDOM to judge her actions according to the WORD, the only objective standard, and apply the best and most compelling case, the most sound case to interpret and understand her actions.
I don't want to give that ability up to one person, like the Catholic Church does. How is that justified?
So, yes, I believe in and am still committed to HOLINESS and purity, both spiritually and morally, and am committed to objective truth. No matter what a person says they believe, the ONLY litmus test, as far as I am concerned is HIS word, not a man in an ivory tower or upon a man made throne.
Thanks and good commentary!
Pastor Burnett I think that FREEDOM is the issue to me I think about what Paul spoke how having grace doesn't mean we go out and sin because we are under grace. Freedom comes from being able to abstain from things I would have done before being redeemed. Just because I can doesn't mean I have to.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, people abuse freedom and abuse themselves as well. Freedom breeds commitment. What is not understood is that there is no true freedom without commitment. That is where growth comes in at.
DeleteWhat this generation applauds is weakness, while claiming it to be freedom and forward thinking. That is in part why suicide and moral failures, even during this pandemic, is at an all time high.
My generation (Millennial) took that "freedom" and ran with it. The Pastor above is a few years older than me and while there has always been Pastors doing things behind closed doors, now they'll do it in the open.
DeleteAnd then if anyone says anything about it, you are the bad guy because you are being "judgemental" or they'll say "we're free from the law". I see a lot of pastors my age or younger trying their best to be hip hop celebrities. Like the picture above, she's trying to pose like she's Cardi B. And they want their churches to essentially be nightclubs that play gospel music that sounds an alot like rap and RnB to the point where it's difficult to distinguish the two.
And it's always one way. You never see actual hip hop celebrities trying to act like pastors (or how pastors should ideally act).
Going to any lengths to be relevant, or perhaps controversial, which has proven to sell books, art, music, etc.?
ReplyDeleteDo you know Supt. Douglas Moye? I ask because he's in your neck of the woods. There's a woman named Tina Moore who put out a scathing video about him accusing him of various acts of sexual immorality and condoning abortion.
ReplyDeleteSorry it has taken me so long to respond to this but YES, I know him and am aware of the allegations and the video. It is shameful.
DeleteI understand that investigations are ongoing, however ALLEGEDLY he constructively placed his assets within the church and his previous wife could not obtain support, neither could the victims. This made it seem like the church supported his actions and defended him, when that wasn't the case. The church was protecting their assets and property.
I don't know and everything I say is alleged, but I certainly would not hang around for a quick second. One thing is for sure, God is real and these people will see, know and understand that he is real in the end.
