7 Things God Hates

Pastor Price on TV again Sunday morning talked about the seven things that God hates. 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Speculation on Sin

I thought about how to word this post for over two weeks, how I would articulate it to communicate the concept. Were I a wordsmith that I might craft the perfect paragraph that would accomplish my goal (this is actually the second draft as Microsoft Windows actually f@$king restarted my laptop just before I posted). 

So, here I will try to do so.  Jesus said that we couldn't serve to masters without loving one and hating the other.  If these two masters are sin and God, we'd be alright if we would grow to hate sin.  However, more often sin drives a wedge into our relationship with God.  But, Jesus said that His yoke was easy; He didn't want us to follow a lot of rules.  Jesus even rebuked the religious leaders of His time for burdening the people with the weight of many rules that were hard to follow.  However, sin can only be our master in the first place if we resubmit to the law.  If we don't put ourselves back under the law, we are not a slave to sin.  We have already been put right with God through Jesus' sacrifice; why would we try to earn our own salvation by following impossible rules (submitting to the law)?  Everything is acceptable.

P.S. Maybe God restarted my laptop to change the wording of something I shouldn't have written.  I believe in the hand of God.

A Truth

There are things women can do to lessen their odds of attack.  I know that people get up in arms when you appear to blame the victim.  Women should be able to walk the streets dressed how ever they want in our society.  Yes, I and you should be able to run naked in front of a wolf's den with a T-bone steak tied to your @$$ without anybody stopping you; but, it's going to increase your odds of something bad happening.  And, I lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of the perpetrator.  But, there are steps that a woman can take to lessen those odds.  e.g. not walking down an unlit street/alley late at night, not being alone, not (here's were I get the flak) dressing in a provocative or un-modest way.  Should women have to?  No. 

Wage Gap

I have noticed that corporate advertising has started to try to cash in in the idea of existing wage inequality.  It's an untruth that has been pushed to promote a political agenda and is divisive and self serving.  I've posted this video before, but here it is again to explain how they arrive at the numbers.

A Truth

Just as there are still male chauvinistic pigs--mostly in the closet,  there are ball bashing estrogen raging misandrists.  The difference is that one is socially acceptable. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Starting to Feel My Age

I'm noticing muscle tightness and soreness, aside from my planter facetious and Police Education running injury, and a few gray hairs. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
