I'm glad to see you back. You left as I came in, so I never really had the chance to get to know you.

So, I finally decided to grow out my hair and beard. Go full Viking. I'm intrigued to see what it would look like.
The green one always grossed me out, too. I knew that it was ketchup, but couldn't bring myself to eat it.Unless it's something like this.
These really grossed me out as a kid. It didn't help that my sister and her friend would pretend that the green ketchup was snot while I was eating.

I hear you. Sometimes we pack our weekends full and feel just as tired after they're done haha.So how was everyones weekend? Mine was great but tiring.
Omm: I wonder if Katy Perry's saved.If you ever listened to her music when she was a Christian artist... I'm just saying that seems to be some legit stuff.
I wonder if you can apostate and be saved. (Some hold to the belief that once you believe you always believe, aka you "persevere" while others say you can be saved but leave the faith)
I wonder if I got saved as a young teen and just rebelled.
Wonderings wonderings, with all sorts of man's opinions on the matter, but no definate answers. I asked two pastor's I know questions like this recently, got two opposing answers. (No, I didn't include Katy Perry in the question)
All I'm saying is at this point in my walk I wouldn't be surprised if I saw Katy Perry (Hudson) in heaven. But then again I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't...
Oh I'm not talking about OSAS. That's a 100% true doctrine.I think "once saved always saved" is a solid doctrine, and the main point from its critics that "so, what? You think you can just go back to living in sin right after you get saved because you can never lose your salvation again after that?! HUH?!" is a lame argument against it. Like that's even what people are thinking when they first get taught OSAS after becoming a believer in Christ. I certainly wasn't. It was just nice to know that I do not have to live in perpetual fear of walking a tightrope all the time with salvation for the rest of my life, if I reject the belief that you can "lose" your salvation again after sinning frequently enough or whatever.
Maybe Katy Perry is a believer who has backslidden by letting fame and beauty go to her head and maybe she will one day be led by the Spirit to renew her faith and dedication; maybe she actually is living a secret life as a believer in many ways for Christ that the rest of us cannot see while for whatever reason of her own - albeit I cannot imagine a legitimate reason why a consciously professing believer would - let's us only see the seemingly worldly idyllic pop-star side of her. .... Or maybe she never truly believed in Christ, but only claimed in so many ways that she did in her earlier life just to make her parents happy or something.
.... And maybe most of her music just sucks. =P
(Amendment to that snarky comment: Just so you know I'm not a hater, I did kind of like her "Wide Awake" song, and she does at least seem like a nice person in real life even if I don't like her work.)
But you know what? Let's just pray and hope for her in a respectful, non-judgmental way (not that I am claiming you were being judging or insulting, mind you, Cody; just saying this for all of us here), caring about Katy Perry the person rather than Katy the pop idol. When it comes down to it; she's a normal human being made by God and in need of His forgiveness and blessing just like the rest of us are.
Oh I'm not talking about OSAS. That's a 100% true doctrine.
What I was talking about was if people who truly believe will always believe. Because lots of Christians hold to the doctrine if you stop believing in Christ at some point that you "never truly believed in Jesus".
