"Taylor Swift claims she is a Christian. It is not my intention to judge her."
You are not judging her. You are discerning the spirit by her fruits. This Christian sentimentality of "not judging" has left the devil too much room to play.
Off the top of my head….I’d say odds are unlikely. I think they are not compatible….and remember this:
Media tis nothing but propaganda nowadays - at least on the main swift streams of it…..
No doubt in my mind, but as a Buffalo Bills fan sick of the K-balls going “wide right” and know this: the NFL tickets say on them - tis nothing but entertainment - I am biased - but still my opinion is they are not compatible - tis just a postmodernist show of delusion disconnected from that which truly has merit such as ideas in the Bible.
We can agree on that I hope, but postmodernist seem to think - life is a show. Let me be the first to say to them direct - it ain’t, but I’ll say this as well:
I think Travis is going to get tired of Taylor Swift, I know I am and I don't even know her......I would say tis none of my beeswax, but they put it in front of us so much I think I got standing to comment - especially being I'm from Buffalo and big Buffalo Bills fan.

Sad what it has turned into these days - and did you just see the new "cap" - something like $350 million per team per annum - oh my - something is out of whack is what the players from the 50's think being their annual salary - underpaid no doubt - was on average $6000 per season. Something is out of whack no doubt.
With that said, the whole duality of left versus right is twisted nowadays - postmodernist style - the terms are just subjective gobbledygook....tis a "false dichotomy".
When it comes to making a proper choice - I prefer the term "correct" versus the term "right". I think the term "right" ought just be directional only in the real world and not have other connotations - cause tis just too subjective nowadays and not good communication. Tis a quandary I reckon, but not really if one gives it consideration.
Just like all the "isms" out there - most of them in discourse have lost meaning.
Of course, take it with a grain of salt - I'm just a left-handed peasant who is most fedup.
This is a great article! I have been struggling with people I know going to great lengths to see her in concert. It’s not healthy to be obsessed with another human to the extent so many are today…
My staff and I have Phil 4:8 on our hearts this week. Your Substack fits perfectly in with our reflection of Paul’s words to focus on whatever is pure, true, noble, lovely and praiseworthy.
If we call ourselves Christians, but don’t walk in the way he directs, then we have not taken the responsibility of carrying his name seriously:
"He who says, “I know him”, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But he who keeps his word, in him truly is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that says he abides in him (who claims that Jesus abides in him) ought himself also so to walk, even as he (Jesus) walked. (1John 2:4-6)
We need to walk in his commands, not in the commands of men, or we will be worshiping God in vain. (Matt 15:9)
Jim you said
"Taylor Swift claims she is a Christian. It is not my intention to judge her. God Himself will do that as He will judge all of us. Instead, what I'm talking about is any of us compromising Biblical values for the sake of being entertained for an hour or two."
While we are told not to judge, or we will be judged, Matt 71, Luke 6:37
Yet we are also told: Do not judge by appearances, but judge with righteous judgment.”
(John 7:24)
We need to discern and consider what is truth and what is error. 1Cor 6:1-5
While we can't condemn someone to not be worthy of eternal life, we are to discern that what they are doing is not Godly.
We Must All Extract Ourselves From Such Worldly Temptations Of Satan!
Matthew 13:24-30
King James Version
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
We are to be in the world and not of it, which is not much fun a lot of the time, but we must overcome the world, and if we overcome then we will be granted eternal life.
Well Fayanne your Last comment didn't post here but I got it in my email! But no I didn't know that Marina Abramavic "allegedly" had a brother who died in a car accident "allegedly" but Marina does have masculine looking features! 😉 They conveniently explain things away don't they! Yeah I know that Lady Gaga is one of them! Do you have anything on Sandra Bullock? That link that you sent me, cool song, it rocks 🎸🎶 I've never heard that song before! I'm surprised that YouTube hasn't banned his channel! 🙂
A lot of us seem to know about Sandra Bullock and he mentioned it in the song if it was incorrect I think he would’ve been sued by now. Haha!! Yes, his songs are amazing.!! It’s well known in Hollywood circles, of course, and I have friends that are in that industry.
Yeah I just looked at the Barbara Bush interview on YouTube! Of course it can't get more in our faces, a man in drag for sure! 😆 But I've suspected Sandra Bullock too! I don't watch TV or movies the same way now! I'm always looking for it now! Some hide it well and it's hard to tell, and with others it's right in your face! It's done to men too! F to M! Everything is inverted! It's crazy! If he mentioned Sandra Bullock I didn't hear her name and I'll listen to the song again!👍
Ummhmm! I definitely can see it! Fayanne! Michelle Obama(aka Michael Robinson)😉 Oh and Barbara Bush, definitely! Say "hello" to Allister Crowley's daughter!😉 but Sandra Bullock? That's a difficult one for me? The plastic surgeons are very, very good at their craft(witchcraft)😁 I have a hard time telling with some of them though! But the bones never lie, I always look at the hips, when possible, because a biological woman has an hourglass ⌛️ body shape! A biological woman does not have slim, straight hips with no hips or butt! That's the reason why these fashion models all walk with an exaggerated walk down ("the cat walk") swinging their hips and placing their hands on their hips, throwing 1 hip out sideways, giving the optical illusion that they have hips! Newsflash----Most high fashion models are transgenders anyway! Once I found out and discovered that ALL of the Victoria's Secret models were transgenders 🤯 then I started looking at all of these fashion models, every-single-one-of-them! Because back in my younger days I too also wanted to be a model! I had the height because I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall but I didn't have the slim body and I had bad skin with constant breakouts! I just thought that if I lose alot of weight through exercising and get my skin cleared up, then I would have a chance 😀👍! All of that never worked out because I couldn't starve myself enough to look like those models, not to mention how much body shaming and self loathing I did to myself knowing that I couldn't get skinny enough and measure up! Today I know why, it's because I'm a biological woman and that "model image" is impossible for biological women to achieve because most, if not all, models are transgenders and biological men!🤦♀️Today I look back, like wow! I was deceived into all of that! This is how Satan has been at war with biological women since the garden with Eve!
Oh yes indeed dear! Today I look back at my much younger self 😆🤦♀️ I was just the typical young teenage girl/young woman back then looking at all of those fashion models in the magazines and in the fashion shows! This was in the 1980s when all of the super models were popular! I wanted to be in that glamorous life too back then! Fast forward to today, the Victoria's Secret models opened up my eyes and I definitely began to see! I also started looking at all of these female actresses/celebrities too! I believe they are trans too, most of them! I can't watch TV shows and movies the same way today without looking at the women and wondering!🤔 I told my husband this too and I believe he's seeing it now too! I really woke up to this about 5 years ago( Victoria's Secret) in thinking back to all of the Victoria's Secret commercials that use to be on TV with all of the models doing the "shhh" 🤫 expression in those commercials! Then I started to put 2 and 2 together 😮 "What's the "Secret" with Victoria?" or "What's the "Secret" in Victoria's Secret?" They are all men! Wow! 🤦♀️ that really opened up my eyes and it made me angry like "well no wonder I can't get skinny enough to look like those models with slim hips and no butt! "and to think how I starved myself, hated my body and body shamed myself!" That's the war that Satan has had with biological women this whole time! What really made me angry with this whole topic about wanting to be a model and wanting to have that body image is how many young women and girls have starved themselves to death and died trying to achieve this ridiculous body image or died from bulimia! There's one thing for sure Satan is very clever, deceptive and not stupid! Satan plays on people's emotions and is very clever in playing people this way! So it's no wonder that Eve got deceived and fell the way she did! But learning the truth and being able to see is liberating and freeing too and that's why Satan doesn't want people to be able to see truth! Today I love myself just the way I am and that's how we all need to be towards ourselves and to love other people and look for the positive things in other people! 🙂
Yeah, I'm the same about belief systems, they are fascinating! I don't really subscribe either! Now all those early movie stars from that Era that you mentioned, I find interesting! I like to look at all of this stuff as a history lesson, especially with ancient Egypt! I'm open minded and I don't like to judge people for their beliefs! Everybody should decide what's right for them and what they believe in! 🙂
Wow! I didnt know that about Taylor Swift. She has a good agent to make our little ones like her. She falls under the CINO ( Christian In Name Only) category.
No
It’s ironic that Satan has used the music and movie industry to his benefit. He’s wise and uses who he can to overcome Jesus Christ.
Sorry Satan, you can’t beat Jesus Christ. You are only 666.
Hopefully these entertainment icons will finally see the light instead of promoting darkness!
"Taylor Swift claims she is a Christian. It is not my intention to judge her."
You are not judging her. You are discerning the spirit by her fruits. This Christian sentimentality of "not judging" has left the devil too much room to play.
yup, we are supposed to judge,,,,we are the salt of the earth
And then there’s this little marketing gem:
“Winston tastes good ___ ___ ___ ___.”
It’s basically the counterpart of “blackface”.
Thanks for reading and commenting...
That would be a difficult tight rope to walk. Christian / swifty
Perhaps even impossible?
No.

Demons may tremble but I'm not sure about Leftists...
