[TruthTalk] Coddling sin

[jandgtaylor1]

From: "ShieldsFamily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Judy, -----Original Message----- I didn't find that CNN thing a bit funny and it saddened me that some of you did.  Michael Jackson is a mess, the product of a massively dysfunctional home and presently held captive by the powers of darkness.  How can we claim to fear God while laughing at that caricature of another man's pain?   Judy, You are correct in saying that MJ's reprobate state is not funny.  The humor, if there is any, is simply in acknowledging the pathetic, childish, demonic state to which perversion can bring what should have been a man.  Coddling and excusing sin is just as not funny. MJ is not just a VICTIM of his sin; he is complicit in actively CHOOSING it. His state of depravity shows how very much he chose to be that way.   Izzy,  Michael Jackson was raised in a cult and has been confused since he was a child. The money and fame came early on and further complicated matters. So the curses on his life were amplified, from the 1980's on you can see him going downhill very quickly. Today he is addicted to drugs and painkillers,  has some kind of chronic skin condition, must wear a wig and a prosthetic nose and is living in a fantasy.  How much worse could it get?   Izzy:  MJ was blessed with more opportunity than most people ever see; his wealth and fame could have been used for good.   jt: A lot of ppl think he did use it for good. He did all kinds of things for children, expecially sick children and has donated to charities and given benefits; he wrote the song "We Are The World" to help in time of famine. He has a following of people (who are just as deceived as he is) willing to hold candlelight vigils all over the world for him along with misguided souls who get on TV claiming that "Michael just couldn't have done what he is accused of , that it just isn't in his heart and he isn't capable of it"   Izzy: We ALL have experienced bad things in our lives.  Some choose to overcome by the grace of God. Then God is always there to meet them more than halfway.   jt: And some are in such a state of captivity that they are not free to make that choice.  Michael Jackson is totally demonized and so fragile that if they send him to jail you will be hearing about a suicide.   (snipped Psalm 52, Proverbs 1)   I will leave the judging to God and apply His Word to my own heart and I do understand by His Word that we are required to walk in love toward all people in His name even those who are messed up rather than rejoice with the enemy over his victory in their fall.   Judy
