This may sound strange coming from me, but I support Buzzfruit on this. Buzzfruit said:
"I make a habited of striving to allow the goodness of God comes out 24/7 and 365 days of the year. And so, yes, I do. That may be hard for you to believe but it is the truth. It all have to do with ones attitude and their way of thinking. Unfortunately too many Christians have a bad attitude about what they go through and take their disappointment and frustrations out on others, and thereby set a poor example."
Well, I have had run ins with Buzz often. I've questioned whether or not he has "been holy" all the time, and doubted he has. And I still do. I believe Buzzfruit has failed at his mission of to be Godly 24/7/365. But I don't doubt he hasn't strived to do that. He can try all he wants, But he ain't going to do it. Neither am I, and neither are you.
But... He tries. And I believe without knowing him, he probably does a better job than 99% of the people out there. Me? I don't even try. Now the goodness that is in me, I let it go through.... The only thing I wonder about Buzzfruit is whether he thinks his good deeds mean anything. On earth, I think they do. Spiritually, they are still filthy rags..... But I'd rather live next to his filthy rags than Jeffrey Dahmer's. And I haven't seen anything about Buzzfruit that suggests he doesn't name the name of Christ, and credit him, other than him mentioning, "Yea.... I strive to be a good person!"
Chances are I'll clash with Buzzfruit again about certain issues. However, he's proven to me that he follows the Bible and what God has said. For now, I believe he's a sincere man when he says, "I strive to be good". I do too.... Don't you?
Here's what Jesus said we should do
Luke 13:24 (ASV)
[sup]24 [/sup]Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Here's what the Bible says our deeds earn us.
Revelation 21:7 (KJV)
[sup]7 [/sup]He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
In all my conversations I never said that when I do what I do I am doing it to earn salvation. Salvation is free and cannot be earned but just because it is free does not mean we should not strive to overcome, because that would be like the one in Jesus' parable that sat on the money that his master gave him and did nothing with it.
