Why Don't I Get It?
This afternoon I was having a conversation with a brother who is strong in his faith. He is against just about everything and he stands on nothing but the Word of God. (Yeah right)
Here is a transcript of our last conversation:
"What's up man how are you?"
"Gibbs, I am sick of the sin in this world. Everything is all messed up. Gays wanting to get married, women wanting to be president, this world is going to hell."
"Well what you going to do about it mane."
" Well, first I think we should do away with 12 step recovery programs."
"Darn man it must be real early in the morning. Did you say you want to eliminate 12 step programs?"
"Yeah, all that AA , NA, OA, GA that stuff ain't Biblical."
"Hmmm, but then neither is the internal combustion engine but you still drive don't you?"
"Naw, God don't care how we get from point a to point b."
"So what's wrong with the 12 step programs?"
"They don't proclaim the truth of the gospel."
"Keep talking."
"They don't tell you that there is only ONE way to get to the KINGDOM of G-D and his name is JESUS! (iamhondawant2beamercedes!) (Speaks in tongues)"
"Man quit that gibberish. "
"I am rejoicing in the Spirit of God."
"Whatever man. Just stop it. Speak only in English."
"See a 12 step program says acknowledge a higher power, any higher power."
"Well everybody is not a Christian."
"Then they all going to HELL!"
"You know everything."
"Look man, I can't support anything that does not fit the WORD of the Lord Iamhon--
"You betta quit that noise right now. Anyway tell me how do you think the Lord feels about you gettin with no let me be clear screwing every woman you date. Ain't that fornication?"
"Now Gibbs you going too far. I am a man, I have needs, and God provides for my needs."
"You really believe that don't you."
"Hel--I mean heck yeah!"
"Wow... wow...wow."
"Ain't God all right?!
"God is cool but you need some help."
"Gibbs you don't get nothing do you."
"Not really."
"I'm talking about sex man--"
"I am not talking to you about my sex life."
"You need to pray to God and you will get sum."
