| License to Sin and More Rant It's terribly disconcerting. Many Presbyterians, Episcopals, Methodists, and several Baptists are taught a distorted version of the Gospel. Parents of these politically correct denominations tell their children that they should not have sex until they are ready and to take along birth control just in case they can't contain. It sounds almost right doesn't it? What if a father or mother were to walk up to their child and hand them birth control followed by an "I love you." Call me non-Christophobic but I see that as an act of evil. These days, even women are offended when if you promote abstinence. Where have all the ladies gone? lady - A well-mannered and considerate woman with high standards of proper behavior. A woman regarded as proper and virtuous. A well-behaved young girl. A woman who is the head of a household. A woman, especially when spoken of or to in a polite way. The American Heritage� Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition How absurd is it to find a woman think it is strange for a male to state that they are dedicated to the notion that true love waits? The American and European cultures despise the concepts of total quality improvement. I took a college class on it. It is so foreign to our Western minds. However in Africa, the Orient, India, Arabia, and Israel, the concept flourishes and is welcomed. How much more do we have to align ourselves with belief systems akin to Wicca, Satanism, and other occult functions? These pagan group members approach their children in the same manner as I've described here. Churches and Christophobic Christians promoting agendas that refer to all stances against sin as "JUDGING." While struggling even this day over a weird weird situation, my mind went to a scene of a person in particular descending into flames. In my mind, I could hear them say, "Yes Lord. I know I should have listened." My inward parts ache when I hear a professing Christian state, "No matter if you sin or not after being saved, you don't have to repent." repent - v 1: turn away from sin or do penitence 2: feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about --- WordNet, 2003 Princeton University Are we attending social clubs every Sunday morning? Do we get up and get dressed to fulfill some derranged obligation? We ease our conscience by attending. We placate our friends, relatives, and pastors by attending. Is our serving God only existent as we tithe, hide behind a song book, bow our head in corporate prayer, and keep from nodding off as the minister speaks? How can there be a successful relationship with anyone for 1 or 2 hours a week of contact? It can't be a very strong relationship for sure. Lip service. Being seen. What a croc. How thick does a person have to be to think that any stand against sin is judging or offensive? Pardon my rant. Call me nuts or call it the rant of a non-Christophobic Christian. In terms of ladies and all, I want to finish off with a few quotes from the band DCTalk: The other night I met a girl And she looked to be so nice I asked her for the digits And she didn't think twice A couple of days later called her up and asked her out She said,"with you?" I said, "with me," And then she said, "without a doubt" I took her to the Garden where I guess they grow the Olives She wore a tighter skirt Than any I had seen in college She said, "I love to smoke and drink While cursing like a sailor" I asked her where she got her mouth And if she had a tailor Finally I walked her to the door to say goodnight She said, "I am an apple, Would you care to take a bite?"

Yeah. I've been rattling off. Sometimes I may rattle off to you to see if you're someone I can trust. I may even ask you to pray about something or confide in you to see if you're someone I can trust. If you're a lady who's looking my way, ain't no use coming to me unless you embrace the truth in what those 3 songs say. Heck, I won't even fool with a woman if she likes country music. -- Jeremy Brown 2005 BACK |
