To: If You Want It Fixed - Fix It; smvoice

Yikes, you guys can justify most anything.

I guess the fact that I am a saint since I am born again and considered righteous by God thru Christ’s death and resurrection is not good enough. It certainly is for me. I’ve no need of any of that kind of stuff either in life or death and neither do any of the rest of us, martyred or not.

Any religion can carry things to an extreme as in this case or the Word of Faith/Prosperity stuff. Neither are the ideal. And Mary was anointing Christ’s feet, which is a whole different kettle of fish (no pun intended). No man other than Jesus is to be treated with such reverence. There are ways to show love and reverence for our fellow believers (in life and in death) and not go to such extremes of ostentatiousness.

I find humor in the juxtaposition of these two lines, because I don’t think you intended the irony.
