What a poor headline.
The thrust of the thing is her chaotic problems, not Gibson and his comments.
You’re not confusing her with Miley Cyrus, are you?
Sounds like Mel made a call out of genuine caring for her well-being.
Sounds like she decided to go another way.
How’d that work out?
Sean insisted: “The reality is that she was exhausted. She was being worked to the bone, and was in no fit state to still be performing. But she needs the money... right?
..... As do others who wonder about all of us. Lucky for the Universe ...... There exists a God of compassion ....... And a TRUE Judge who knows all things ..... Unlike us mear sacks of meat .....
God loves broken people. His offer is to heal the sick, not those who consider themselves healthy. I pray that their faith is real.
It’s not our place to judge or speculate on the faith of others who profess to be Christians. There is no good reason to do so. That is between them and God. God knows his own and can’t be fooled or judge them wrongly. Rather, our focus should be on our own relationship with God; that is is alive and bearing good fruit, and that we are becoming more like him everyday.
You have no idea what actually took place, what Gibson actually said, or how the girl reacted to it.
It drives me nuts that people read stuff on the Internet about ‘celebrities’, and then think that they know all about them.
It’s anyone’s place to judge regardless of the circumstances providing it doesn’t take the form of personal harassment. However, being considerate and possibly showing empathy is preferable when possible.
One’s relationship to God (or lack of) is certainly a personal matter and no doubt unique to each of us.
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
Roman’s 3:23
Good for Mel Gibson. He has sometimes been far from perfect since that phone call to Britney Spears in 2008, but so have we all.
I believe the purpose in life for the Thief on the Cross, was to be forgiven at the very end of his sinful life, to show us that it is never to late in this life, no matter how many sins, or how awkward the prayer.
Mel and Britney have had many flaws, but there is still a God who is willing, if we are too.
Amen!
Mel Gibson is what I call double minded. He can be so charitable and selfless. He can make great movies displaying this.
I know that I have been very double minded, like Lot’s wife. Where I wanted the World’s way and rejected God’s way.
amen
I read stuff on the Internet about ‘celebrities’, and then think that they are my friends. Then, when I meet them, I’m surprised they don’t remember me.
Except Jodi Foster. I realize now that Jodi and I don’t know each other.
Mel is a Christian with a drinking curse....doesn’t make him a non Christian
Britney from the Louisiana Mississippi line was I’m sure raised as such
Los Angeles chews up the ambitious young split tails and spits em out...
You can see anxiety in her eyes
She was comely as a young thing admittedly and talented
Shame
She should have gone home and kept her money and married and raised horses...
She had the brass ring
Prudence says to let it go at some point ..
Good advise imo.
She was part of the disney abuse machine. She never had a chance
We need our celebrities. Without them, how would we know what to do, how to think, how to vote, how to live, how to worship, how many pieces of toilet paper to use when we go to the bathroom ?
Didn’t he yell “FREEEEDOM!” real loud and get his head chopped off while smiling at a baby? Well, then, he should be dead. How can he tell Britney anything if he’s dead?
