So loved that He would give His only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for us. There is no greater gift or act of love than that!

We are ALL sinners. Most Christians (myself included) don't live their lives the way God intended. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 also says that "adulterers, thieves, the greedy, and drunkards, will not inherit the kingdom of God." I know A LOT of Christians who have struggled with just one of the above sins. I don't feel like I get to say who will "bust hell wide open" because the Bible is FULL of commandments that most Christians struggle to keep. Social media has done Christians no favors when it comes to greed, envy, and pride, but most people aren't willing to look in the mirror and point the finger at themselves when they can point it at others. My problem is the hypocrisy. You, nor I , nor Kimm, nor any of her readers get to say who is "truly saved." Maybe it's the drunk, the liar, the cheat, the murderer, the pastor who embezzled from his congregation, the upstanding politico who ran on a platform of family values and got caught with a prostitute, the suburban mom with the million dollar home still craving more money, more clothes, more jewelry, more vacations, more, more, more. According to scripture, any of the above, is "living in pure sin." Each person's walk is between him/her and the Lord. He is the only one who truly knows each person's heart, and rest assured, he will judge us all. Kimm, thank you for your blog post. It was brave of you to address such a "hot" topic. I hope you didn't find my response "ugly" or trying to start drama.

Do I agree with what everyone posts? No. That's life. Would I ever make ugly comments about someone's post? Absolutely never! I also believe that if you can't be kind- BE QUIET! I have always taught my children (now 26 and 22) that you don't need to blow out someone's candle to make yours burn brighter. That is probably my all time favorite saying!

I think that God wants us to be happy -- and to be the feet of Jesus. I think God wants us to spread the love of Christ, but also live authentic lives. What I don't think God wants is for His people to be mindless drones who were created solely to worship Him. Your version of Christianity (and it is a version, unless you have a direct line to the Lord himself) is very different than mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202509439298990127.post-91573902707683852732015-06-04T10:45:20.329-04:002015-06-04T10:45:20.329-04:00Thank you for taking the time to comment Taryn.

More importantly, trying to convey that it is your opinion and your opinion only---I mean, this is your blog :) <br /><br />I try to be open covering various topics on my blog but never write about things like this that might set off a myriad of conflicting comments. My goal is that as I develop my blog, I write about more "touchy" subjects because when you do it, it at least gets people thinking. It seems so many have their own interpretation of the Bible. As a believer, perhaps I am not as well versed in theology as I should be but I do know that it is not my place to judge. <br /><br />I so respect you letting your thoughts out :)Jenny Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12715749112548010526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202509439298990127.post-24145950787406280172015-06-04T08:39:42.266-04:002015-06-04T08:39:42.266-04:00Very well said. “Judge not, and you will not be ju...Very well said. “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven"Lyn Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05670862168416287427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202509439298990127.post-60180084718526939102015-06-04T07:48:40.256-04:002015-06-04T07:48:40.256-04:00Thanks Brooke!
