Thoughts on Christianity and Perfection 6-10-2025

Hello, dear Reader, and welcome (back, if applicable) to this free and obscure American blog on this *bonus* day above ground, right?


I haven't written in several days because I don't always have good things to say, or I'm too emotionally charged (which, if I'm being honest, is often my problem, characteristic of both my sex as well as the bipolar disorder, but I digress - no mortal human being is perfect).
Suffice it to say that, on *those* days, I try to spare y'all from things that won't do anyone any good; in fact, it's a shame that I'm not nearly as good as containing that kind of 'feedback' in all areas of life (though I dearly wish that to become different, hopefully sooner rather than later). 


Today, though, I'm not spewing venom, so here am I, back again (and that made me think of this silly song so, regardless of his terrible politics! - I'll play this one by eminem):
I'll be the first to admit it, though it's controversial in nature and has even caused male friends and family to accuse me (a straight, biological female) of being misogynist, that we ladies literally are more given to the melodramatic histrionics of emotional overdrive.
That's a fact!

Hey, you don't have to like it (I certainly don't and feel that it's a fatal flaw) but my own experience of being female for more than 50 years all points to that being fact (though, at the same time, I do not presume to speak for everyone, let's keep that fact in mind as well and not ignore it in pursuit of any twisted narratives, thanks).


So! On to what's behind today's heading, which was written to briefly indicate that I will compare the definitions of both words (that is, 'Christian' and 'Perfect') and elaborate with thoughts of how sometimes people seem to conflate the true meanings of those words specifically, not based in fact (as in *not* based on the genuine, honest understanding of each word's genuine definition) but based instead in their senses of pride, Self, and need to harm someone else for the sole purpose of elevating the worshipped Self, above all and at any and all costs (that is, other than taking up their crosses and truly dying to Self instead of worshipping it, but again, I digress).

And, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. 



Today's Proverb, Proverbs 10, is (as always) confronting and correcting (at least it is to me), full of real Wisdom and direction, as well as encouraging while retaining that element of divine mystery. Honestly, who has time for fiction when the Bible exists?!

But, again, I digress. 
So, here is the definition of the word 'Christian' :
And, here is the definition of the word 'Perfect':
A cursory comparison will immediately reveal the fact that the two words are wholly *not* synonymous with one another, are not interchangeable, and can therefore never be correctly substituted for one another under any circumstances, period, ever.
Just to be crystal clear here.

So, am I (for example so I'm not picking on anyone else) by factual, literal definition 'perfect'?! 😂 Goodness, NO! (see, I picked a super easy example).

But am I (again, by actual definition) a Christian? Regardless of what anyone other than God Himself says, yes, I absolutely am, to the Death so help me God and nothing that *anyone* says can alter that irrefutable fact one iota.
