I’m a woman who loves God, who reads the bible and very much believes it. I think it has value today and is still the best wisdom around. Politically I’m kind of unique in that I am NOT a conservative Republican Right Wing Christian. I’m very firmly Independent but lean to the left. I very much believe in taking Christianity back from the religious right who hijacked it from Jesus Christ, including the things He and God said within the bible.
Initially when I created this blog, I was leaning to the right and my postings reflect that for the first few years of the blog. What I have found over these last years, though, is that I am correct to hang onto the name “Bible warrior.” A warrior is necessary to stand up to those who are deceived and blinded regarding what the bible actually says. There are Christians who are twisting biblical words and teachings. They have added and taken away from what was originally written within those pages. I am keeping them honest, or attempting to, at any rate. I am not afraid to confront the religious right and those of their ilk, who follow behind them lockstep.
I have already discovered one thing that is certain: If it doesn’t sound like Jesus Christ, it isn’t Jesus Christ! Consider me a watchman over the angry fundamentalist zealot, who preaches legalism, hellfire and brimstone, and a false gospel without love.
After spending a lot of precious time sharing my thoughts with a few on a small blogging site, I found myself sabotaged and shackled, without the ability to freely express myself. I realized that it was time I graduated to a real blogging site where more people would be exposed to my writings, that was less heavy handed in the moderation of its bloggers. I also wanted to document my journey in spirituality, sharing my experience with Christianity in daily living, with as many as are drawn to read my writings.
Another Warrioress
I’m intrigued by politics, current events, and am drawn to theology discussions and debates, though I’m not usually into angry argument. I do enjoy discussion and andexchanging thought with others.
The current state of our country, America, worries me greatly, and I believe we are on a downward spiral that may not end well for this country I adore.
I appreciate all comments from readers that are reasonable, polite, and intelligent, even if your opinions differ from my own. Please share if you like what I’m posting, or suggest a topic if you would like me to research and offer my opinion on anything in particular. If you want to get into a deeper discussion on some topic I’m writing about, by all means, feel free to comment at length here.
Keep the faith and may God bless each one of us, America, and our world!

I know you have your moderator thing switched on but it is getting pretty frustrating trying to have a discussion on your blog as my comments are always swallowed and i have to wade through the post the following day.
Can’t you switch the thing off?
I do enjoy popping over to your blog even if we are at each other’s throats , but if this moderating thing can’t get sorted I think I’d rather simply read,

Kim, I have always looked forward to your stuff, your likes and blogs. Your title is intriguing, your growth in Christ exhilirating, but why don’t you put up a pic of you smiling? (Oh rats! How do you spell exhillirating?)

Hey, MSB, it’s Adrienne, not Kim. Why don’t I put up a pic of me smiling?
I had some initial problems with being very public with my real picture and information, in the past. I prefer to keep my personal information private and only share my picture and particular identifying details with those who I know pretty well and am close to. I have a young daughter so I like to know who I’m corresponding with, well before sharing who I am, my pictures, etc.

OH! So that’s not you… Got it.
But why did I say “Kim?”
Alright Adrienne, I’m Mike Ashcraft, the man behind the MSB. No secret identity here.
In any case, I still think a smile is a good thing. Pleased to meet you. Yours, Mike

Hi Mike! Good to meet you…
I’m being very honest and transparent in my postings, but I don’t think it’s wise to put my last name, etc., and picture onto the blog. I get some hate mail on occasion and there are just too many people who are psychotic out in the world today to risk further retribution. If I did not have a young daughter, I might be more willing to endanger myself. I’m sure you understand. Thanks again for hopping in here and commenting, Mike.

Your writing style is excellent. Keep writing, keep changing. I vote or you to consider writing about the long history of the various forms of Christianity.
Now, on another note about your avatar that I keep wondering why you don’t change:
I saw the watermark on your “Woman praying” photo that you use as your avatar.
I see you got it from 123RF.com
http://www.123rf.com/photo_2582915_woman-praying-to-lord-begging-for-his-mercy.html
The photographer was a Spaniard named Jose Antonio Sanchez Reyes
Here is his website : http://www.jsreyes.com/#/about-me/
I was always curious how one get’s those photos — did you pay? Why not remove the watermark which shows that it has a copyright and should not be used without purchasing? I often find photos with watermark but don’t use them.
But if you go to shutterfly you can find tons of women praying stock photos too — you have to pay there too. Marketing of pretentious holiness is big bucks it seems. You might want to go thank Mr. Reyes for his photo. His site (his blog) might even tell you the woman’s name.
Hope you appreciate the research I’ve done 😉
So does this post imply you are going to another blog format?
Have a great day Adrienne

Sabio said:
Thanks.
Yes, I own the image and yes I have paid for the medium and small image, but I never took off the watermark as it wasn’t important to me. It’s not me so I didn’t care if people realized it wasn’t me. I state on the gravatar that the pic is not me. I just now tried to re-download the image without the watermark but it’s still showing up. I’m challenged in this area evidently. (sigh)
No, Sabio. I am not going to another blog format. No, I’m not going to another avatar. I like this avatar. It suits me and my intent for the blog. I like this picture. I don’t care to put my own picture up. I’ve had countless people mail me and tell me that they too love this picture, that it suits me.
Adrienne

PS:
Sabio, I think I got the water stamp off finally. 🙂
I am the world’s worst procrastinator. Thanks for getting me off of my butt to do something I should have done over a year and a half or more ago.
By: the warrioress on July 16, 2013
at 6:01 pm
Congrats on getting the watermark off!
I wasn’t suggesting you put up a picture of yourself.
But it is very odd to put up a picture of someone else.
If you don’t want a picture of your face, you can do a back shot or side shot or a symbol or scene or drawing by your daughter …..
(BTW, did you see my daughter’s drawing on Hayward’s site?)
I think that priests dressed in robes or collars are pretentious and people showing themselves in prayer is pretentious too (the protestant version of holy pretension). Sort of like one hand telling another what its doing — “see how righteous and holy I am!”
Food for thought — even if those in the echo chamber love it. I guess it all depends on your purpose.

BTW, quoting line-for-line a person’s comment can be tedious reading. You might want to consider minimizing the practice. It has a taste of Fisking to it.

So my blogging suggestion to you. Do 20 posts: each on a different flavor of Christianity (present day) which is significantly different than yours, and tell how you think it impacts to world for the good or the bad and why you think their mistake theology matters. That is my suggestion — take your time doing it. Build an index post to keep track of them overtime.
