People are choosing blindness to the facts because of the choices they want and know that to face the truth would mean they would have to be accountable to the highest authority. The truth has a way of flattening everything else in time. Very sad. Linda
I am a fan of your art & have had your site 'saved' to my favorites for quite some time but will be deleting it todaybecause I choose not to associate with those who judge so harshly. It's a shame you have let the negativity you feel for others who think differently from you interfere with the talent you posses. I wish you luck in the future - but more importanly I hope that at some point, you are able to respect the beliefs of others without so much condemnation. (Not a very Christian thing to do by the way.)
Wait Raz! If you think I'm judging people then you don't understand me at all! I AM NOT JUDGING ANYONE! And really, it feels more like you are judging ME for what I believe!
Having said that, you are right, I DO NOT AGREE with everyone...and thankfully, right now, today, I have the right to blog and say whatever. I had another blog that I was very careful not to share my beliefs but this one really is FOR ME, and I decided early on I wasn't going to worry about people loving my opinions. I am really more surprised when people agree and like what I do and say than I am when they (you) don't.
I really do love the sinner, but I will NEVER love the sin. Period.
I'm sorry that we can't agree to disagree but I stand by my beliefs and feelings and my right to express them.
As I said in my blog, I am GRIEVING, meaning I am heartsick. I'm not judging, I'm GRIEVING. There are just so many people out there that don't know Jesus and that breaks my heart for them... And, if it were possible, I would say I am even more grieved for the folks that think they know the Lord but don't really ... that was what I was saying in the next blog post I wrote. I'm afraid that people don't know what the Bible REALLY says....and that scares me for THEM. No judgement at all!
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
I am with you, Very sad!
