A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Exactly. Now think about what I said about Kid Rock. He has taken a stand against a great evil. Not all evil but as far as evil's go murder is one of the big ones.

So as this is a good thing brought out of the treasures of his heart then we must conclude....

Are you my judge?

[CyberCowboy777]

I believe Kris Kristofferson wrote it, but Waylon & Willie made it a "hit" so to speak.

[The Coopster]

Not at all. but I have heard a lot of judgemental statements coming from you.

Nobody here on earth is fit to judge, regardless of what a number of folks here seem to think.

I was on that thread and didn't see anyone get "damned to hell". I think there were 1000 posts or so by the end. The Bible is clear on many moral issues. Divorce is just one of them.

[Tailgunner Joe]

Finish your sentence. What must we conclude? That his song about pimping Barbara Bush also comes from his beautiful heart?

[Gabz]

Holey Guacamoley.........they're still at it?

[exnavychick]

Then they just continue, from what I've seen.

Ten feet tall and bulletproof, I guess.

[Tempest]

Yes, because she's hot.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I know people who think like that.

Never quite understood them any more then I understood those who think that it is possible to hurry events to "help The Almighty out."

From what I read in scripture neither of these view points tend to end well.

If you love tolerance so much, start tolerating Christian conservatives. Practice what you preach. Lead by example.

Who the heck is Michael Peroutka?

He's what I would call the PhotoShop Brite-Smile candidate. On his website, he has a picture of himself and his teeth have been photoshopped to whiter than white.

"Everyone on here should watch the Kid Rock video "Lonely Road of Faith." I think it will end this whole argument!

And if you were to purchase his latest album from your local Walmart I think that would also end the argument."

Hear, hear, cain. ESPECIALLY your LAST point. The Kid has grown, as have we ALL. Not to say that I don't also like his earlier work. His beliefs, faith, integrity, generosity, and humbleness make him the good person that he is. Hopefully more people will come to know that.

I think Christ used that scripture to admonish one of his apostles. If I'm correct one of the apostles was complaining to Jesus that another person was seen casting out demons in Christ's name. Jesus said "he who is not against me, is with me".

[The Coopster]

Maybe, but it's not for the self-righteous to judge the lady in question. And that DID take place, even if the exact phrase "damned to hell" didn't occur.

That's between her and God........

[Gabz]

It originated on the "The Sin of Divorce" thread where Gabz was basically damned to hell. :-)

LOL.......and not just me!!!!!

I think the word Judge gets misused or misunderstood.

God has already judged, He has made a ruling on right, wrong and how we can enter the gates.

As Christians we are told to judge, but only in testing - where does this stand against the standards God has already ruled upon.

We cannot judge a mans souls. The final judgment is God testing each heart to the standards set in place.

There is no issue with a Christian judging right and wrong or identifying sin as long as it is a judgment based upon the ruling already made by the Almighty.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

That maybe he grew up a little and that good things are growing in his heart?

I never said it was beautiful. I do not judge such things. But as the scripture says "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."

So we are left with a quandary. Can it be that his heart is turning from evil to good? If so is not part of our job not to put a stumbling block in his path?

Thanks again, Howlin. Very much appreciated.
