I just finished readingmy replies, and was especially proud of the one posted which stated, that C.C. pulled the song I hate every bone in your body but mine, from the song list! Way to go C.C. Also I’ve seen other bloggists, his old fans, talk about how the coke has finally gotten to him. They’re wrong, for the first time, he is really understanding TRUTH. I will continue to pray the other members realize that only until they see their need of a Savior and allow him to change them, as He did C.C., that in the giving of their lives to Him, He will give them the grace and mercy to live in accordance to His will as does for all His followers. Good for C.C.!!

I’m so happy he had come to be a brother. God is truly working in his life. I’m sure you’ve had this question already, but I thought I’d ask here. I know each Christian is at a different level in their walk with Christ, that is not why I ask this question. How can one be a Christian and still sing the words to the songs Poison sings? Certainly I understand the infancy of his salvation and don’t expect an overnight jump to “adulthood” chewing on the “meat of the Word,” but I would hope that one of the messages would be that when he became a new creature, old things have passed and all things are new. This is not to say no more talking or associating with the members from Poison, as he may be the only Godly witness they look to, but how will they come to Christ, if in his Christianity he continues to sing and participate in the Poison concerts? I really am truly grateful God has pulled this man from the pits of hell and eternal damnation and torment, from his videos he surely has grown much in the short span of his Christian life! God Bless C.C.!

CC has not only turned his own life around, but he has helped many others see the light as well. He is a fantastic human being for that.

I’ve been to see Poison EVERYTIME they’ve been in concert since they made it in the mid 80′s. I’ve been a Christian this entire time as well. I’m personal friends with another member of Poison and have spoken to C.C. because of this. He truly is an inspiration to the other members of Poison. As a result, they’re all doing their best to quit cursing and trying to “find God” as well. There’s one member that’s struggling a bit but just pray that he finds his way! All four of them are EXTREMELY nice, polite, and would literally “give you the shirt off their backs!” When C.C. played “Amazing Grace”, myself, my hubby and our 16 year old son were all literally sobbing. It was truly a spiritual experience. For those of you that didn’t get to see it (we were sitting on-stage to the right and was extremely loud but incredible!) it was truly a blessing from God. Please continue to pray for C.C. and the other members of the band.

Yours in Christ.

to aarondewinter, Thanks for posting the link to the youtube videos of c.c. talking about his life. I watched them this morning and they were awesome. He may be a “new Christina”, but it’s clear he “gets it”. He understands what grace, forgiveness, and striving every day to be obedient is really about. For anyone who is questioning if c.c. is really changing i think you would be wise to watch those youtube videos and hear for yourself. I heard more wisdom come out of his mouth than i’ve heard from christians who have been following the Lord their whole life! God bless you c.c., and remember everyone, noone knows his heart but he and the Lord! Pray for him instead of doubting him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_eN22wVWXY&eurl=http://www.coreymann.blogspot.com/ (here’s the link to those videos)

I don’t know if I have ever seen my name so many times. Thank you. This must be some childish way of getting your point across. I die everyday, also my friend. I am borrowing this imperfect body only to give it back at death. I have been called worse names than a Pharisee, so I will let that slide. I believe since none of us are divine, we (as Christians) should agree to disagree more often than we do. This is probably why there are so many different denominations in this country. So, I am going to plead the “turn the other check” on this one. If I offended you, I apologize. We should be spreading the “Word” not arguing about it. Peace be with you my friend and may you love and accept EVERYONE as Christ does.

Jody – I am not “human”, I am a follower of Christ! You may still consider yourself “human” (aka of the flesh), but we are told that in order to be a true follower of Christ we must be willing to DIE DAILY of our flesh and take upon the Spirit of Christ! I can tell by your language that you seem to think sin is something that is in your DNA, while I think sin is a choice. Call me a Pharisee all you want Jody as I imagine this gives you much comfort in your own mind as to somehow justify that its OK to sin, or as you put it “Be human”. I make a conscious effort NOT to sin or “be human” everyday. Indeed I do stumble, as a result of ignorance or circumstances, but I do not go around willfully choosing to sin in “word thought and deed” daily as most churches seem to preach these days.

Want to know who really gives Christians a bad name – its those who go around continuing to “Sin” daily and yet call themselves Christians. That is a definition of a hypocrite. So are you just being “human” Jody or are you dying to the “flesh” daily?? BTW – Pharisees are those who promote a perversion of salvation by telling others its OK to Sin and that they are just forgiven, that sin is just a part of “who we are” and that we can never really over come sin. Jody – Salvation is not about being “Saved” from Hell, but as Jesus told the woman at the well GO AND SIN NO MORE or BE PERFECT AS I AM PERFECT! Salvation is about being saved from sin itself, not just from the consequences.

tonyyork,

I never considered our conversation an argument, even if the latin or greek “argos” truly means debate. I love your heart and it seems as if you know the word. Thank you for your thoughts and opinions. I will take them with me and become a better person because of this experience. God bless you!

prespilot68,

Unfortunately, it seems as if you like to argue. You are a dangerous person to people who are new to their faith. To quote one of our local DJ’s here in Nashville about your blog comments, “this guy gives Christians a bad name.” Jesus had debates like this 2000 years ago in the synagogues. You remind me of an old Rabbi who is “lost in translation.” I pray that one day you will see God’s grace as I and many of the other bloggers here see it. Not a license to sin, but a permit to be human.
