You made this statement. You can judge someone by the company they keep. And this one. A decent, morally upright person will usually associate with others who are decent and morally upright. Whereas a despicable, felonious person will have for company other despicable felons. What kind of people did Christ hang out with? And if you did not know Him, what kind of person would you say He was? Your argument points to a PERSON; God is not subject to those rules.

And what does the Word of God teach you? Cleanliness is next to godliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain please. You know, man, I should have addressed that comment to Gauntlet; I misread the quotes apparently. It was he who said we are known by the company we keep. Sorry!

Guest Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Usually, this axiom holds true. Jesus was the exception to a few rules. He hung out with prostitutes and tax-collectors, but he was neither a prostitute nor a tax-collector. He hung out with lepers ans untouchables, but he was not untouchable nor did he have leprosy. Jesus was intentionally slumming it, although he would not have called it that. The Reason He Came Down From Heaven Above When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mark 2:17 Was To Save The Sinner The Lost But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 To Eternal Life With Him And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. Revelation 22:3-4 And Daddy For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Romans 8:15 Be Blessed Beloved Of The KING Love, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Kris! In fact, the town he's from, Conway, Arkansas is about an hour and a half from where I live. God bless!

I have no use for 99% of TV, do not follow AI, and do not even have reception here. But seeing this topic I went to youtube and had the misfortune of watching about half a minute of a song by Adam called "I really get to you", or something like that. In a word, it was lewd. It was vulgar and dirty. It's amazing this trash is allowed in prime time and is aimed specifically at teens. It's like executing a formula for messing kids up. I don't know that Kris is better or not; given he's a Christian, I suspect he is. If so, I'm glad the likes of Adam did not win the contest. We need to be feeding our kids a whole lot better than what he offers. bb, p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do, I am usually amazed at some of the content... there are some prime time situation-comedies that absolutely horrify me in their innuendo and comments... but, that's what a channel -changer is for - ya know? There are people who watch and enjoy the AI show - I don't follow it - because it's past my bedtime - but I don't think it's horrific, vile or besieged with devil worshipers, fornicators and homosexuals as was alleged by a poster on this thread. Again - discernment - if you don't like the content - do not watch it in your home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
