That is why we should not judge each other.If it your actions,deeds,i do not agree with.I wiil pray for you,not judge.This is my teaching at my chruch.I know this story,of a man who visit this church.The man was dressed like a homeless person.The people judge him on his appearance,what they did not know,he was one of the riches persons in the city.He was a millionaire,it is just the way he dressed.He gave alot of his money to homeless people,this is what i mean you do not know a person heart.No you are not a guitar GOD,BUT YOU STILL THE MAN.We do not agree on this,and never will,so lets leave it alone.

I see your point...but how someone is dressed at church has NOTHING to do with how this conversation started.
Hear me out...LOVE is above all. It is the GREATEST commandment: Love God and love others.
There it is, straight from the Savior.
We agree on that, yes? I'm certain.
That being the case, I gotta love everybody and I've got to pray for those who persecute me and who persecute my brother Rown and who persecute my brother Uriah and my brother JP and lilBB and so on.
Also, we have to be hearers of the Word and doers of the Word. The Word tells us to love, it tells us to pray, it tells us to fast, it tells us to be baptized, it tells us to seek the Kingdom and righteousness, it tells us to care for the children and the widows, it tells us to praise and worship and it tells us:
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV says: “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 4:2 NIV says: “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage- with great patience and careful instruction.”
Titus 2:15 NIV says: “These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.”
Teaching, correcting, rebuking, training and encouraging. All right there. All so we'll be "thoroughly equipped for every good work". So we'll be prepared. So we will not be despised.
If someone didn't judge me years ago by telling me that the things that I was doing in my life could lead me to an eternal life separated from God, I may not be here right now. Since then I've been taught, corrected, rebuked, trained and encouraged over and over again and I welcome it in the future, too.
Paula White should feel the same way. I'm just being honest when I say that there's something in my spirit that doesn't jive with her. I wish that I could explain it better and I do pray about it.
And I am working on getting rid of my own plank...
Peace, my friend. I enjoy these conversations and I pray that we each grow from them.
And thank you for what I know you meant as a compliment. I just don't do the guitar god thing at all. You and I know that there's only one God.
Now, about this music from Japan...
