		<description>Kanye West is a fucking idiot. The fact that he &quot;designs&quot; shoes for LOUIS Vuitton, and misspells it, proves his stupidity.</description>

		<description>@Mzprettylady: 

I&#039;m glad that you politely took your time to eloquently express your feelings about me. And again, I dont care. Your &quot;putting me on blast&quot; so to speak wasnt really.....putting me on blast. Because someone else used the same terminology to describe me as a &quot;hater&quot; and to &quot;put on blast&quot; that I use &#039;indulge&#039; instead of &#039;divulge&#039;?? lol 

That&#039;s it? *shrugging shoulders* 

I guess. Whatever floats your boaT and makes you feel better about you. 

I&#039;m not the slightest bit intimidated, nor will I stop speaking my mind. KANYE IS A WHINY BITCH WHO NEEDS TO JUST DO HIM AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF HIM. As should you.....stop worrying about me and my opinions about an artist who could probably give a fuck about you. So, explain to me again why you believe that I am stupid? Because I used the wrong word by accident? Come on.....you can do better than that. Choose something OTHER than what your internet buddy chose to &quot;put me on blast for&quot;, because other than that, all I hear is the both of you calling me a hater. ??????

Silly rabbits.....lol 

It&#039;s okay though because I forgive you. I forgive you both for not being able to quite grasp the idea of what it means to have opinions and to speak your mind. What? You&#039;re hurt because I didnt agree with you and shoot you an @________: (message)?? Thats the beauty of having a different mindset from the norm. :) 
I dont agree with people because its the trend or what everyone else is saying. And if dont like it, then I dont care. Simple. 

Once I click &#039;shut down&#039; on my PC boo, you are no longer a thought. 

P.S. Take your own advice.</description>

What a joke LMAO please don’t be offended because you were kindly put on blast by not only me but others as well. I’m too classy to stoop down to your level and use profanity and name calling that’s beneath me. I found it extremely funny how you called  yourself clowning me and ended up getting clowned yourself by someone else that saw how stupid you sounded and are! I’m no internet gangsta so the back and forth wont be necessary. I’ve already spoken how I feel and others have done the same. The only reason we responded to you was because you came off as a big loser just talking down on Kanye for no reason other than jealousy any how you are dismissed 

P.S. no one wants a cute dummy!!! 

 And I bid you a good day too :)

		<description>YO BOSSIP, DUDE IS WILDIN. KANYE IS KRAZY. I KINDA GOT WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY, BUT WHOA! MY BIG BROTHER IS A MINISTER SO I ASKED HIM TO ELABORATE ON YEZZY&#039;S THOUGHTS AND REMARKS ABOUT RELIGION...THIS IS WHAT HE HAD YO SAY...
-AND MAKE SURE KANYE SEE&#039;S THIS!! HE NEEDS TO OPEN HIS EYES!

~*~*~TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT HIS STATEMENTS AND POINT OF VIEW, AND NOT NO SHORT ANSWER EITHER LIKE “HE’S WRONG, IT’S ABOUT JESUS”, LOL, I KNOW YOU! LIKE CAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE HE MIGHT BE COMING FROM? DO YOU GET WHAT HE’S TRYING TO SAY? DO YOU THINK THE CAT IS JUST LOCO? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HIS THOUGHTS???

MY BROTHER&#039;S ANSWRER:
Yeezy: I believe in Jesus as an icon, but I don’t feel the responsibility to put my life on Jesus.
 
Craig: translation is that Kanye does NOT believe that Jesus is the Son of God sent here to take away the sin of the world. Kanye can take responsibility for his sins if he wants. He can pay for them to. Jesus came and paid for my sins, so I would not have to. He did it because He knows we do not have the ability to make the payment. Now, we do not have to pay for our sins. Jesus did that. Now those who do recognize Jesus as God will pay for their own sins. Count me out of that group. What about you? 
 
Not only but Kanye seems to have made himself equal with Jesus. He calls Jesus an icon. Kanye thanks he is an icon.
 
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
Yeezy: Christianity is embedded in who I am, so I will still say things like this is a blessing, amen, and still say prayers; things that your Grandmother embedded in you. I’m always gonna have a little Chicago in me, a little hood in me, and a little Christianity in me. Just because it’s what I know. But, I do not believe that other religions are going to hell, I do not believe in a lot of elements of it. 
 
Craig: Christianity is NOT embedded in who he is. His own mind is embedded in who he is. Kanye is fool of himself. Or should I say FOOL of himself. Saying a blessing, amen , and prayers does not make you a Christian. Believing what God said about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, and rising again on the third day does. Believing that Jesus is the ONLY way does. Recognizing the fact that each one of us are filthy sinners in need of a Savior, who is Jesus, does. Following Christ and obeying His commandments does.
 
I Corinthians 12:3 (Paul Talking) Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
 
Matthew 7: 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Yeezy: But, I do not believe that other religions are going to hell, I do not believe in a lot of elements of it. I want to express to people that I do believe in God, but I also have friends whom are atheists. I have friends that are super duper Christians. If I come to a person that’s a super Christian and I tell them what I believe in and they tell me what they believe, I super respect that. I like when people are into what they’re into. If that’s your thing, and you break it down and you’re really into the bible and you believe everything about it, and you believe in immaculate conception and stuff like that. Like, you believe in the “rib” and all that, I’m just like, man, that’s dope for you.
 
Craig: Kanye does not believe the bible. He picks and choose which parts he believes. And those are based on how he feels at the time. We all have people we know who are not Christian. They believe all kinds of things. I pray for them. I pray that God shows Him who He is, even as He continues to reveal more and more of Himself to me. I certainly do not AGREE with their stance on life, if it is outside of Christ. This is not about you believing what you want to believe, and me believing what I want to believe. It is about the Truth being revealed to us, and us walking in it. WHETHER WE WANT TO, OR NOT. 
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Yeezy:  People will say ‘Aw, man he wasn’t saying that Jesus thing when he made the song!’ But, when I made the song, that’s how I felt, but this is six years later. This is how I feel now. 
 
Craig: 
 
I John 2:
[15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
[16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
[17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
[18] Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
[19] They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Verse 19 reminds me of Kanye. Yeah, he made a song some time ago about religion. Today, he says that song is not relevant in his life. Basically, he is saying he was Christian, but now he is not. If he is not now, he never was. You can&#039;t be born again, and then &quot;un-born again&quot;. Either you are you aren&#039;t.  
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
Yeezy: The whole thing about religion, other people’s religion and other things that they shell out, I have my own opinion on everything.
 
Craig: A HUGE part of his problem is &quot;his own opinion&quot; about everything. We are called to set our opinions aside, and take on the mind of Christ. We do not have to wonder what stance we should take on things. God tells what to believe. We need NOT our own opinions. They are useless. They will send us straight to hell. The bible tells us to deny ourselves. In essence, that means we should oppose ourself and what we think, and how we think things should happen. 
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Yeezy: Anything that I take, I’m going to do it my way. Like, if I take a car, I’m going to paint it the way I want to paint it. My thing was, after my mom passed, it wasn’t a thing where I lost my mind or anything. I was less scared to speak my mind. Cause there’s nothing I could lose. There’s nothing that could be taken away from me. 
 
Craig: I have tried doing things MY WAY. It does not work. Even for those who it APPEARS to be working for. There is a difference in looking through our natural eyes, and looking through the eyes of the Spirit. The eyes of the Spirit will show you things your natural eyes will never be able to see. Kanye is using an analogy between his life and cars. He can live his life the way HE WANTS to, if that is what he chooses. In the end, the truth shall be revealed. He can grow in fame and fortune. In the end, he will not be able to take it with him. And Kanye is wrong about another thing. He still has a GREAT amount to loose. His soul will be called into question.
 
Mark 8: 36 - For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
[37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
[38] Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
Yeezy: Soon as you’re not willing to change and go off of what you feel that morning, your life starts moving in reverse like Benjamin Button or something. Now, you’re moving backwards, you’re not growing anymore. Life is about change and if you’re not willing to change you’re not really willing to live your life, and soak in the amount of new information that’s given to you. Since day one, I knew the difference between right and wrong. I could predict what was happening. I had karma and anyone who’s ever had beef with me, something happened to them, like it’s really just been in God’s hands. 
 
Craig: Life is not about us going off of what we FEEL each day. We would go to work one day, and then not for a while. We would be married one day, and not the next. We would take care of our children one day, and not the next. You can tell people who live according to how they FEEL. I have lived a lot of my life according to how I FEEL. It did not and does not work out in the long run. It is a dangerous thing to live by the way we FEEL. Our feeling change so often.
 
God determines what backwards and forwards is. Life is about change. Growth in Christ is the positive direction that we should seek. What did the word say about living our life? Again:
 
Luke 9:
[23] And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
[24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
[25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

How did Kanye know the difference between right and wrong? That is determined by God. Kanye has turned his back on right and wrong. He has turned his eyes towards his own decisions about what is right or wrong. Kanye can have karma. I want Christ. Kanye can&#039;t see that something has happened to him. His eyes are blinded. He can&#039;t see.
 
There were a lot of people that have had beef with Christians. Christians have been persecuted, jailed, beaten, tortured, hated, and killed for believing and speaking out for Christ. God did not stop that. Yet, those that died believing in Christ are way better off than we are right now. Who knows what actually happened to the people that had &quot;beef&quot; with Kanye. Maybe it had nothing to do with him, and maybe it did. The question for Kanye is, does he believe that Jesus is the ONLY Savior of the world. People might have had beef with him. It seems as though he has beef with Christ. If he does not change, &quot;karma&quot; (sarcasm) will meet Kanye, and something, or someplace we call hell and the lake of fire will happen to him. 
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
Yeezy:  Religion is like clothing. People want comfort. People don’t want to have to take that off. People don’t want to accept the concept of there not being a heaven possibly, or the concept of losing someone and not seeing them again. The only thing that keeps you going is the idea that you will see them again.
 
Craig: We need to put on Christ. We need our garments washed in the blood of Jesus.
 
Revelation 3:
[1] And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
[2] Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
[3] Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
[4] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
[5] He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
[6] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
 
 
And it is comforting to know that your loved ones who die/died in Christ, are not lost but in a better place. And that we will see them again, and be with them for eternity. But, more than comforting, it is true.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Yeezy: It’s [religion] also like branding. Some people go Bapes head to toe, some people do Polo head to toe. Some people go Rocawear head to toe. Me, I kind of just go into the store and take the piece that I like the most. I’m no poster child for any particular brand. What I have to realize and what shocks people, or polarizes people is that I’m actually a brand. I’m something that people build up and believe in. They name their kids because they believe Kanye believes this. But I’m also a real person; a growing person and an artist. I don’t want the responsibility of waiting to move because this many people believe this. Like, if you believe in Kanye, if you believe in me, then just believe that I’m going to be honest with you and express to you what I believe that day. I’m not gonna be holding a congregation and fucking prostitutes and it come out to them years later. I’m gonna come to the congregation like man, last Friday I got some head from a prostitute, I’m just gon’ go head and let y’all know. 
 
Craig: Christianity is like branding. Paul said in Ephesians:
 
Ephesians 1:
11] In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
[12] That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
[13] In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
[14] Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

The word sealed in verse 13 is not what we think of when we think of sealed. It is not like sealing a jar closed. It is more lie a mark. Like a branding. We have been branded by the holy Spirit confirming that we belong to God. 
 
Kanye believes thinks very highly of himself. Too highly. Sooner or later he will crash. I hope it is sooner, than later. I pray that he repents.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>YO BOSSIP, DUDE IS WILDIN. KANYE IS KRAZY. I KINDA GOT WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY, BUT WHOA! MY BIG BROTHER IS A MINISTER SO I ASKED HIM TO ELABORATE ON YEZZY&#8217;S THOUGHTS AND REMARKS ABOUT RELIGION&#8230;THIS IS WHAT HE HAD YO SAY&#8230;<br />
-AND MAKE SURE KANYE SEE&#8217;S THIS!! HE NEEDS TO OPEN HIS EYES!</p>
<p>~*~*~TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT HIS STATEMENTS AND POINT OF VIEW, AND NOT NO SHORT ANSWER EITHER LIKE “HE’S WRONG, IT’S ABOUT JESUS”, LOL, I KNOW YOU! LIKE CAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE HE MIGHT BE COMING FROM? DO YOU GET WHAT HE’S TRYING TO SAY? DO YOU THINK THE CAT IS JUST LOCO? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HIS THOUGHTS???</p>
<p>MY BROTHER&#8217;S ANSWRER:<br />
Yeezy: I believe in Jesus as an icon, but I don’t feel the responsibility to put my life on Jesus.</p>
<p>Craig: translation is that Kanye does NOT believe that Jesus is the Son of God sent here to take away the sin of the world. Kanye can take responsibility for his sins if he wants. He can pay for them to. Jesus came and paid for my sins, so I would not have to. He did it because He knows we do not have the ability to make the payment. Now, we do not have to pay for our sins. Jesus did that. Now those who do recognize Jesus as God will pay for their own sins. Count me out of that group. What about you? </p>
<p>Not only but Kanye seems to have made himself equal with Jesus. He calls Jesus an icon. Kanye thanks he is an icon.</p>
<p>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</p>
<p>Yeezy: Christianity is embedded in who I am, so I will still say things like this is a blessing, amen, and still say prayers; things that your Grandmother embedded in you. I’m always gonna have a little Chicago in me, a little hood in me, and a little Christianity in me. Just because it’s what I know. But, I do not believe that other religions are going to hell, I do not believe in a lot of elements of it. </p>
<p>Craig: Christianity is NOT embedded in who he is. His own mind is embedded in who he is. Kanye is fool of himself. Or should I say FOOL of himself. Saying a blessing, amen , and prayers does not make you a Christian. Believing what God said about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, and rising again on the third day does. Believing that Jesus is the ONLY way does. Recognizing the fact that each one of us are filthy sinners in need of a Savior, who is Jesus, does. Following Christ and obeying His commandments does.</p>
<p>I Corinthians 12:3 (Paul Talking) Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.</p>
<p>Matthew 7: 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.<br />
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?<br />
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.</p>
<p>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</p>
<p>Yeezy: But, I do not believe that other religions are going to hell, I do not believe in a lot of elements of it. I want to express to people that I do believe in God, but I also have friends whom are atheists. I have friends that are super duper Christians. If I come to a person that’s a super Christian and I tell them what I believe in and they tell me what they believe, I super respect that. I like when people are into what they’re into. If that’s your thing, and you break it down and you’re really into the bible and you believe everything about it, and you believe in immaculate conception and stuff like that. Like, you believe in the “rib” and all that, I’m just like, man, that’s dope for you.</p>
<p>Craig: Kanye does not believe the bible. He picks and choose which parts he believes. And those are based on how he feels at the time. We all have people we know who are not Christian. They believe all kinds of things. I pray for them. I pray that God shows Him who He is, even as He continues to reveal more and more of Himself to me. I certainly do not AGREE with their stance on life, if it is outside of Christ. This is not about you believing what you want to believe, and me believing what I want to believe. It is about the Truth being revealed to us, and us walking in it. WHETHER WE WANT TO, OR NOT. </p>
<p>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</p>
<p>Yeezy:  People will say ‘Aw, man he wasn’t saying that Jesus thing when he made the song!’ But, when I made the song, that’s how I felt, but this is six years later. This is how I feel now. </p>
<p>Craig: </p>
<p>I John 2:<br />
[15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.<br />
[16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.<br />
[17] And the world p*****eth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.<br />
[18] Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.<br />
[19] They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.</p>
<p>Verse 19 reminds me of Kanye. Yeah, he made a song some time ago about religion. Today, he says that song is not relevant in his life. Basically, he is saying he was Christian, but now he is not. If he is not now, he never was. You can&#8217;t be born again, and then &#8220;un-born again&#8221;. Either you are you aren&#8217;t.  </p>
<p>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</p>
<p>Yeezy: The whole thing about religion, other people’s religion and other things that they shell out, I have my own opinion on everything.</p>
<p>Craig: A HUGE part of his problem is &#8220;his own opinion&#8221; about everything. We are called to set our opinions aside, and take on the mind of Christ. We do not have to wonder what stance we should take on things. God tells what to believe. We need NOT our own opinions. They are useless. They will send us straight to hell. The bible tells us to deny ourselves. In essence, that means we should oppose ourself and what we think, and how we think things should happen. </p>
<p>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</p>
<p>Yeezy: Anything that I take, I’m going to do it my way. Like, if I take a car, I’m going to paint it the way I want to paint it. My thing was, after my mom p*****ed, it wasn’t a thing where I lost my mind or anything. I was less scared to speak my mind. Cause there’s nothing I could lose. There’s nothing that could be taken away from me. </p>
<p>Craig: I have tried doing things MY WAY. It does not work. Even for those who it APPEARS to be working for. There is a difference in looking through our natural eyes, and looking through the eyes of the Spirit. The eyes of the Spirit will show you things your natural eyes will never be able to see. Kanye is using an *****ogy between his life and cars. He can live his life the way HE WANTS to, if that is what he chooses. In the end, the truth shall be revealed. He can grow in fame and fortune. In the end, he will not be able to take it with him. And Kanye is wrong about another thing. He still has a GREAT amount to loose. His soul will be called into question.</p>
<p>Mark 8: 36 &#8211; For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?<br />
[37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?<br />
[38] Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.</p>
<p>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</p>
<p>Yeezy: Soon as you’re not willing to change and go off of what you feel that morning, your life starts moving in reverse like Benjamin Button or something. Now, you’re moving backwards, you’re not growing anymore. Life is about change and if you’re not willing to change you’re not really willing to live your life, and soak in the amount of new information that’s given to you. Since day one, I knew the difference between right and wrong. I could predict what was happening. I had karma and anyone who’s ever had beef with me, something happened to them, like it’s really just been in God’s hands. </p>
<p>Craig: Life is not about us going off of what we FEEL each day. We would go to work one day, and then not for a while. We would be married one day, and not the next. We would take care of our children one day, and not the next. You can tell people who live according to how they FEEL. I have lived a lot of my life according to how I FEEL. It did not and does not work out in the long run. It is a dangerous thing to live by the way we FEEL. Our feeling change so often.</p>
<p>God determines what backwards and forwards is. Life is about change. Growth in Christ is the positive direction that we should seek. What did the word say about living our life? Again:</p>
<p>Luke 9:<br />
[23] And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.<br />
[24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.<br />
[25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?</p>
<p>How did Kanye know the difference between right and wrong? That is determined by God. Kanye has turned his back on right and wrong. He has turned his eyes towards his own decisions about what is right or wrong. Kanye can have karma. I want Christ. Kanye can&#8217;t see that something has happened to him. His eyes are blinded. He can&#8217;t see.</p>
<p>There were a lot of people that have had beef with Christians. Christians have been persecuted, jailed, beaten, tortured, hated, and killed for believing and speaking out for Christ. God did not stop that. Yet, those that died believing in Christ are way better off than we are right now. Who knows what actually happened to the people that had &#8220;beef&#8221; with Kanye. Maybe it had nothing to do with him, and maybe it did. The question for Kanye is, does he believe that Jesus is the ONLY Savior of the world. People might have had beef with him. It seems as though he has beef with Christ. If he does not change, &#8220;karma&#8221; (sarcasm) will meet Kanye, and something, or someplace we call hell and the lake of fire will happen to him. </p>
<p>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</p>
<p>Yeezy:  Religion is like clothing. People want comfort. People don’t want to have to take that off. People don’t want to accept the concept of there not being a heaven possibly, or the concept of losing someone and not seeing them again. The only thing that keeps you going is the idea that you will see them again.</p>
<p>Craig: We need to put on Christ. We need our garments washed in the blood of Jesus.</p>
<p>Revelation 3:<br />
[1] And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.<br />
[2] Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.<br />
[3] Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.<br />
[4] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.<br />
[5] He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.<br />
[6] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.</p>
<p>And it is comforting to know that your loved ones who die/died in Christ, are not lost but in a better place. And that we will see them again, and be with them for eternity. But, more than comforting, it is true.</p>

<p>Craig: Christianity is like branding. Paul said in Ephesians:</p>
