Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: Glorified Adulterers

[Oldtimer]

I would imagine the same way pontificating on and on about the economy and politics would. does that help you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit too? Does going on and on about those details make you a better witness for Him?

I mean if you feel that way, then let's CONSISTENTLY feel that way.:laugh:

Young man, your laughter reveals much about yourself.

Is it a nervous laugh because your earlier post revealed too much about where your interests lie? Is that why you failed to answer the questions presented?

Interesting. :flower:

BTW... you said: "pontificaton on and on"

Sure does. It's my Biblical namesake.

Why did you fail to answer the questions asked of you?

Interesting. :flower:

Think about it.

I thought about it and the question remains. You have no problem going on and on about politics and other inane things. have they helped you to better hear the voice of the Holy Spirit?

Turn off the TV.

Quit checking out magazine covers in the grocery store.

Until your post I had no idea about the marital status of this person. I'd heard her name and thats about it. Certainly didn't know the names those around her and their relationships with her. Heard the news Armstrong.

So what.

There's sin all around us. And, while we sometimes don't admit it, there's sin within us, too. There's far too much to do, for the glory of God, to spend time learning all the details of celebrity lives and pondering why this sinful world doesn't condem them.

We know why.

How does knowing all the gossip about this woman help me to better hear the voice of the Holy Spirit? How does learning all the sorry details of her life make me a better witness for our Saviour with the people I'll be meeting with this afternoon?

Have you ever heard of what happens when you wrestle with a skunk?

Oh, Zaac...

I keep seeing this girl and Kanye West all over the place talking about their relationship and the baby that's on the way.

Yet no one seems to be talking about the fact that she's committing adultery as she is STILL married to Kris Humphries of the Brooklyn Nets.

I keep seeing all of this stuff in the news about Lance Armstrong cheating and losing all of his endorsements.

Yet these two filthy disgusting people, carouse in broad daylight brandishing their adultery to the world as though it's a non-issue, while getting endorsement deals and magazine covers.

God help us!!!

...you may have bitten off more than you think! :laugh:

I couldn't agree with you more. These two, and so many others, like Marsha Stevens [who wrote and performed the once popular song, "For those Tears I Died"] glorify their adultry/fornication [both gay and straight], making it seem to those in the world, that, "Hey, it's okay to live in lust and sin! Just look at me, I'm famous and people worship me!" We even have a living ex-president, growing in popularity, who had numerous affiars, and lied about his fling in the Oval Office. Even our current POTUS and VPOTUS have dropped the "F" bomb in public, and they go on like heroes in the eyes, hearts and minds of many Americans.
It is so sad, that what was once a morally reprehensible, is now normal and even used to encourage others to do the same.

This society believes the church should change their strict values because society has evolved and changed its values. They fail to recognize that the Word of God is unchanging, and HIs followers will not change or adjust to the ever shifting sands of morals and values in a sick and disgusting world.

Thanks for taking on a tough topic, and calling it for what it is: DISGUSTING!

Just thought I'd point out that me, you, and all us good church-going folk are also "filthy disgusting people" if God were to consider us on our own merits.

That's all.

post of the thread!

post of the thread!

I agree with you that the post is quoted is the post of the thread. What is my sin in the sight of God? Filthy? Yes. Gross? Yes. Disgusting? Yes.

I don't even know these names, but they sound like folks who need to meet our Jesus and needs our prayers instead of our stones.

 

[righteousdude2]

Well...

Just thought I'd point out that me, you, and all us good church-going folk are also "filthy disgusting people" if God were to consider us on our own merits.

That's all.

....you have a great point. HOWEVER, I think Zaac is right on by saying that the world is showing it's sinful nature by glorifying these types of folks.

I guess we could go back to the other post "Is it a sinners fault that he of she or heshe will go to hell? And this just shows that if there is a label of fault to be pasted upon the persons name tag when they end up in hell, it would have to be, "It is my fault I'm here!"

....you have a great point. HOWEVER, I think Zaac is right on by saying that the world is showing it's sinful nature by glorifying these types of folks.

But why do we need more evidence of wickedness? It is obvious without talking about these two people I don't even know. 'For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God...'

If we are not careful we get so focused on what the world does naturally that we forget to look at our own, less obvious, but just as real sins such as pride, idolatry, backbiting, and having unloving spirits.

To set the scene:
It's Sunday morning, during the 10 minutes between the end of Sunday school and the beginning of the worship service. Meet and greet time as everyone finds their place in the pews. Overhead during this time:

I think it's absolutely disgusting that Mary Jane is expecting. Did you know the baby's father is Joe Smith?! You know, that man who runs Acme Auto Repair. After all, she's STILL married to Bob Jones. I know that for a fact as I've been keeping up with her. Still no divorce papers.

While, we've got a minute, have you heard about Edna? You know, the one who won cake baking contest. Well, the word is out all over town that she cheated and didn't follow the rules. I heard she sneaked some forbidden ingredients into her batter. Served her right when they took away her blue ribbon and prize money.

I know one thing, I'm going to be upset if either one of them gets a job at the new Chic sewing factory. The grapevine has it that the owner's don't care who they hire as long as they can make a profit.

Oh, that remind's me. I've got to take my car to Acme and get a tune-up. Wanna go with me and check out the new shipment of Chic at the department store?

What did you say? Oh, the message this morning. Well, I just haven't had time to check the bulletin yet. As usual, the preacher will probably be stepping on someone else's toes this morning.

Laughter fades away as the choir rises to sing.
