Anna Nichole Smith and the Baptist Church

How come it seems that when some Hollywood freak lives a wreakless life and then passes into eternity--------that somehow or other--the "careless" finger is always pointed to the Baptist faith for somehow being responsible for the wreakless life lived???

I am not responsible for Anne Nicole Smith--------I'm responsible for me---I won't stand at the BEMA seat of Christ and answer for Smith's wreaklessness

Thats right, God isn't, thats my whole point, and anyone else who says this, God is not the liar, the person making flase claims is. You can see a person like Anna Nicol Smith is not chirsitan, their lifestyle and the things they approve prove it. Thats is what this phrase means when someone uses it.

 

Really, so, you think the bible is wrong? Becasue the bible tells us what a christian looks like, the Holy Spirit convicts christians when they try to live like her, the Holy Spirit renews the minds, we begin to think differently and no longer approve the same life styles. yet you'd call drugs, alochol, sex, sex, sex christian. glad I'm not apart of your church where this is allowed, and apparently according you approved and seen as christian.

 

From 1999 on her life gave no testimony to being a christian. Her fruits are spoiled and rotted, the Holy Spirits are not.
Or according to some here the Holy Spirit gives us those same spoiled and rotted fruit.

 

I would never claim that someone isn't saved, that is for God to judge. However I find it odd that someone goes out of the way to proclaim someone who chose to live openly and publicly a life that would seem to mock the word of God must surely be saved and insult people who question that assertion. I don't see anything beneficial, edifying, or fruitful in this exercise.

 

Donna,

The scriptures also tell us that if one of His children continue in stupid and reckless living...rejecting the Holy Spirits prompting and guiding...that God will sometimes call that one home prematurely

If she legitimately placed her faith in Christ back when she claimed to, then she was sealed into the body of Christ...permanently...at that time.

She clearly lived very destructively after that, so her Father could very well have called her home prematurely.

I certainly hope that was the case, as we all should.

FTR, the late woman in question had name of Anna Nicole Smith.

Would you have considered 'Hizzonor', the Mayor of Sodom, namely old Lot, who even offered his own daughters for the resident's sexual use, as an outstanding example of a righteous individual, either?

How about one always described as a prostitute, namely Rahab?

What about the biggest thief and crook known in history, namely Jacob?

How about a murderer and adulterer, namely David?

What about a couple of those great womanizers, namely Samson and Solomon?

Probably wouldn't wanna' put most of that crowd in with such as Noah and Paul, either, hunh?

Oh wait! ! ! ! - - -

That's a drunk and the one the Bible calls 'the chief of sinners' isn't it?

(Incidentally, you can find 6 of the above 8 listed in the "Hall of Fame" of Faith, in Heb. 11.)

I could name some more, but anyway - Just wonderin'.

P.S. Please don't tell me that any of the above ever "repented" from anything, for the Bible simply never says this, anywhere.

 

Although tasty Chinese wonton soup really has nothing to do with anything,

not always, I would offer.

Consider Lot, whom the Bible says "vexed his righteous soul from day to day"'with the unlawful deeds of the people of Sodom', yet was not 'strong enough' to leave that place, on his own, getting himself deeper and deeper into the situation, having his conscience seared, until he had to be literally dragged out of the place (along with his wife and two of his at least five daughters, as the other three or more, along with their husbands, physically perished in the destruction of Sodom), by an angel. (Gen. 19:1-38 esp vs. 16)

Joseph was, by contrast, personally, strong enough to flee from the situation he was duped into, even while Potiphar's wife grabbed his cloak and ripped it from his body. (Gen. 39:1-23, esp. vs.12 )

All simply do not have that inner strength, as the example of Lot shows.

Let me modify slightly, what Blackbird said, above -

(That way, Language Cop stays out of the thread!)

I agree!

AND aren't all the rest of you glad you will not have to answer for the recklessness and weaknesses of EdSutton??

Ed

 

Likely what effectively happened with Samson;

definitely what happened with a number of the Corinthian believers!

Ed

 

This response would be humorous, were it not actually so sad! :tear:

so apparently you believe prostutuon is ok?

Your talking about 1 incident in a persons life, and chrisitans mess up frequenlty and do bad things, but Anna Nicole mad eit a life of habit, with no attempt to do anything else. Are you saying the indwelling Holy Spirit does not renew the mind, gives us a new way of thinking? He doesn't change us?
According to scripture, a christians is a changed person, not perfect, as in sin free, but a true christian will not live in the same old habit of sin, approving that lifestyle.

 

I would agree that Anna Nicole Smith (ANS) did not publicly display any evidences of salvation, and that her life was a mess.

Who knows, however, what happened in her final hours? Yes, it is hope against hope, but we still don't know everything.

And thus, we cannot say with certainty where she is now. For that reason, I do not speculate as to ANS's eternal destination now.

What we can say with certainty: the consequences of her sinful lifestyle, saved or not, exacted a terrible toll.

 

If I might comment on the pastor's quote. What's the big deal? If I am not mistaken, was she not ashamed of coming from such a hokie little town like Mexia (Muh Hay Yuh). When she made it big as a model, oh wait, not really, or when she made memorable movies that were box office block busters, nope not really.

What actually caused her to rise to the top, oh, that's right, her stupidity was her claim to fame.

So, that being said, what's the big deal.

On a side note, I clicked on the "catholicmatch" ad at the top of this page, I think I found a nun in a Columbian mission who could possibly be my sould mate.

 

I'm only this far, but wanted to say, "Excellent post!"

Nowhere in scripture do we read "Rahab the former harlot".

This flesh is filthy rotten and dying. I'm so glad that when one is born again, that outward man is cut off of the inner man. Anna Nicole Smith was a very unhappy individual. She wasn't happily wallowing in sin. She was quite miserable. I feel sorry for her.
