The Rob Pattinson/Kristen Stewart Break-Up

I am sure that Rob Pattinson felt like our car looked after the tree limb came crashing through our sunroof.  Learning that Kirsten Stewart had sex with a married man surely crushed his heart.  But like our car the damage to his heart will eventually heal.

Since I don't personally know either of them you might ask what business do I have to comment?  Therefore, before I analyze their personal life together I want to take the litmus test of morality.  There are 10 points.  I am scoring those points worth 10 points for a total possible score of 100 percent.

1.  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
  • 0 points
2.  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them:  for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
  • 0 points
3.  Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
  • 0 points
4.  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:  but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God:  in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:  wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
  • 0 points
5.  Honour thy father and thy mother:  that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
  • 0 points
6.  Thou shalt not kill.
  • 10 points
7.  Thou shalt not commit adultery.
  • 0 points (disclaimer I did not commit adultery while married to my husband -- I commited adultery with a man I dated who was married -- I was not in a relationship -- but I am guilty)
8.  Thou shalt not steal
  •  0 points
9.  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
  • 0 points
10.  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, though shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy nieghbour's.
  • 0 points
Total Score: 10

Well I am a rotten sinner through and through so I guess I am qualified to discuss the nature of sin.

I am reminded of the incident in John 8 of the adulteress woman.  Jesus instructed the scribes and the Pharisees that the one without sin among them should cast the first stone.  They all left without casting that first stone.  Jesus responded to the woman by first asking where her accusers where, then stating that he did not condemn her and then instructed her to GO AND SIN NO MORE.

So, what of Rob and Kristen?  What should happen for them?  Ideally, he should sincerely forgive her.  Whether he wants to wade back into that relationship is a matter he has to tackle on his own.  The issue of a broken trust is one that is rarely resolved and since they are not married walking away is pretty simple.  Kristen?  Sin always brings death in some way, a relationship, a reputation.  Hopefully, she truly regrets her actions and has true remorse but who knows?

As a Christian, my forgiveness for my sins lies in confessing them to Jesus Christ.  As my Redeemer, His blood covers my sins - past, present and future. 

I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  
For Rob and Kristen I can only hope that they are both truly converted Christians and not only have asked for forgiveness but also forgive one another.

I do not envy Hollywood couples.  Their lives are spent in a fantasy world, overwhelmed with enormous wealth, beleaguered by crazed fans, idolized the world over, how can anyone have a normal loving long lasting relationship under those circumstances?

I highly recommend marriage over living together for one thing.  Here is a link to a website on the statistics of cohabitating vs. marriage.

Hopefully, they will both think twice before they move in with someone.  Honestly, if you love someone deeply and want to get married but they suggest living together first . . . well I suggest you walk away because obviously they do not have the same depth of feeling for you.  Harsh but true.

I know nothing of Rob and Kristen's personal life's but like all of Hollywood they live in a glass house.  I am so thankful my house has walls.

Entering the Gates and Courts of God

Image
Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Where are the gates and courts of God? When I was a young woman we used to sing this Psalm during praise and worship. It was such a wonderful experience to sing God's word back to Him. So, all my life I thought that the gates and courts of God were in a heavenly place and that spiritually speaking I would enter to praise and make supplication/pray to God. Lately, though I have gotten into the habit of saying that 4th verse of the 100th Psalm before my personal devotions and prayer time. Then I begin to ponde...

Pact with the Devil? Null and Void!! How?

Image
Have you made a pact with the Devil? Now you have decided you really don't want to forfeit your immortal soul for temporary things. The old adage you can't take it with you when you go has become up close and personal. The truth is you are an eternal being and no, you can't take it with you when you go. Maybe whatever it is you traded your soul for has turned to ash in your mouth and a burden on your existence. Perhaps you were convinced that there would never be a way out for you. There is a way out and that is the discussion of this blog. First, you must understand what you were dealing with when you made your pact. Satan or an agent of Satan, whether human or a non-human entity, would probably have been the conduit through which your pact was made. The Bible is very clear on one thing Satan is a liar. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your fahter ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, be...

A Woman Rides the Beast in "twilight"

Image
There are two scenes in the "Twilight" movie that I considered to be absurd. Both were when Edward threw Bella on his back and moved at lightning speed. I also wondered at the scene in "New Moon" in Volterra the signifigance of all the scarlett robes and later Edward dons a red robe of his own. It came to me this morning that what I was seeing was the symbology for the woman of Revelation who rides the beast. Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. We are told in the next two verses who that woman is Revelation 17:4-5 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIO...
