Pete - thanks for your intelligent, insightful comment.

limmerik - if you’d listen to KJ52’s song "Dear Slim," you’d know that he’s not "taking shots" at Eminem.  He is trying to reach the man with the message of the gospel.  In the song, he asks Eminem why he claimed to be a Christian on "Infinite," but then totally changed up his sound/message after that.

It may be true that Eminem or ICP is/are Christians, but that doesn’t mean anything if they’re completely ignoring all the tenets of the Christian faith in their lives.

Let’s all pray for Eminem. That’s what we all should do. Thank God for KJ!

hey people,
totally agree with u prince !!!!! no one is a bad person cause jesus loves everyone its just eminem’s lyrics that are bad ! my problem is i have a friend who well thinks eminem rulz and i quoted philippians 4:8 to him but it didnt make any difference he says that no one should be saying things bout slim unless theyve gone through the same things slim has and that its just his way of dealing with everything he gone through ! how do i convince my friend otherwise ??? HELP PLEASE

Here I am sending you the lyrics of DEAR SLIM by KJ-52

KJ-52 =====  DEAR SLIM

Dear Slim I never wrote you or been callin
My name ain’t Stan son, nah we’ve never met and
My name’s KJ let me begin by introducing now
Myself to you and these very reasons I’ll be writin
Why I took the time, the who what where and why and
The purpose of my verse, the reasons I’m reciting
What I hope your learnin from the truth I pray your finding
And every word I’m writin down upon the dotted lines and
See I heard ya first album, was called Infinite
I shook my head cause nowadays you soundin different
What drove ya take your whole persona and be flippin it now
What makes a man totally change see I ain’t getting it
See was you sick of getting booed when you was rippin it
And sick of never havin dough and you your wanted to put an end to it
What good’s all kinds of dough
Plus all kinds of flow
To gain a world of fans but suffer the loss of soul

CHORUS
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la
To whom it may concern x4

Dear Slim I never wrote you or been calling
This is my 2nd letter cause see son I gots a real problem
It’s that to you that I’m always catching these comparisons
And after shows I got these people coming up to me sayin
You sound like Slim Shady son you sound like Eminem
And I be like now really man, do I gots to go through this again
See I used to get mad and sick of people saying that
Till at this one show this one day I met this one cat
He told me how he used to listen to you but now he listens to me
Had your LP but threw it out and bought my CD
I’m like for real he’s like yeah he said my music made a difference
It got him away from all your words and images
I gotta mention this, now what about the effects you have on kids
You ever stop to think about the millions you influence
Or is it just irrelevent is it true life you telling it
Or just the way for some record companies sellin it
The only think we got in common is our melanin
Or lack of it but anyway now this is what I’m sayin
It’s for you that I’m on my knees now daily prayin
Prayin that God opens your eyes now to what I’m relayin
Now I’m praying that it’s your heart that will soon be changing
Prayin one day that you’ll be calling upon His name and
But anyway I’m signin off now don’t keep me waitin
This is KJ another cat just trying to make it

CHORUS

Dear Slim I heard about the stuff you’s going through
See I could relate to you cause son I’m about as old as you
See we both know what it’s like just to be growing up to be in a neighborhood
When you’s the only one and only kid that’s white
Or to get booed when you on the mic just because your skin is light
It ain’t right but sometimes you know that’s life
But really tell me what you do
You just push on with hopes on that someday you’ll put on your crew
I hope you understand that I ain’t even dissin you
And even though its a song you’ll probably never listen to
See what I send to you is this
Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed
Hope you remember this now a few sentences
About a living God who loves you and plus forgives
And I’ll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid
It’s hard to live in a world as crazy as this one is
And even though now it really might sound redundant
God’s got mad love for you up in a mad abundance
You’ll sell a couple mill I’ll probably sell a couple hundred
There’s more to life then selling records and just getting blunted
But anyway that’s really all I gots to say
Just another word from an emcee now around the way
Maybe some day we meet each other in some way
Till then one love one God one way

I totally agree to Larke. We are all sinners. We all have done wrong. We deserve to die for all the sins we have commited in our lives. But Jesus has already died for us on the cross. He has died for all sins, all we have to do is ask for forgiveness and we are forgiven. Isn’t that wonderful? jay.jee.dv@gmail.com

where can i download the song DEAR Slim??? kj`s song??

I don’t think Marshall Mathers has any connection to Jesus in any of his songs, one artist that I  believe made the most connections to Christ through his music was Tupac Shakur, listen to his song titled "Ghetto Gospel" at the end of the song he yells in to the microphone "Lord Can You Hear Me Speak!!!"..."It’s the Pain and Strife of being Hellbound!!!"  It’s really quite something

Yeah, yeah, yeah... stinking string-sorting by default... treatin’ my hash-keys all lexicographically...

Fixed now.

KJ rocks!
But God is better!
uh... thats it.

Oh yeah, this one’s a classic!  I can’t decide which part is my favorite though.

[oops] kj-52 he is a [oops]ing gay flaming homosexual

Not only is he a homosexual, nor is he merely a flaming homosexual, oh no, but he is an [oops]ing gay flaming homosexual.

Of course there’s always:

U know something. I do think that everyone are good and Jesus (dear dare 2 differ don’t never write Jesus with a lowercase letter this is unrespect to Jesus).

Don’t never unrespect to Jesus!  Never mind unrespect to the English language.  You know you’re having a bad day when you’re getting a writing lesson from this guy...

And who could forget this classic comeback:

you say that in the Bible it says that you cannot be a sinner and still be a christian, please, prove that to me, where does it say that? Oh, i forgot, it doesn’t. So check your facts dude ... If you got a question on what i am saying e-mail me at tutuprincess2008@aol.com

The bible does say that you cant be living in sin and be with God.  For now sin can be where God is.  All are sinners but when we repent that sin is forgiven.  But if you continue to sin God will be with you no longer whether you believe in him or not.  You cant just believe in him to be saved or be a Christian.  Being a Christian is a way of life.  The devil believes but yet he is not a Christian.  Believing isn’t good enough.  Its a relationship with Him and loving Him that counts.

Is this a trick question? Because I think it depends on whether Suzie excepts Jesus or accepts Jesus...

This isn’t a trick question, so here’s the answer Larke...

In the Bible, Jesus was asked a similar question about paying taxes, to which he replied "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s."  In other words, he said "If the law says to pay Caesar your taxes, then you should give him your taxes."  What does this have to do with Suzie?  EVERYTHING!

You said that Suzie has accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.  You also said that "she never read(s) her Bible, she only prays occasionally, she drinks (even though she is underage), and she uses "curse word" on a daily basis."

1. You can’t be an obedient Christian (nor a blessed one) if you don’t read your Bible because the Bible says "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."  The Bible also says "Study to show thyself approved. A worker who needs not be ashamed; rightly dividing the Word of Truth."  You can’t seek Him until you know his Character...and you can’t know his character until you read the Bible.  And just because she goes to church doesn’t mean she is being told the right thing.  There are a lot of wolves behind pulpits in church, and if she’s not reading her Bible she won’t know if they’re lying to her.

2. When Jesus was talking about taxes, he was speaking about obeying the laws of the land.  Before you say Jesus didn’t pay taxes, please look in Matthew 17:27 and you’ll see that Jesus paid taxes also (it’s called a tribute there).  What does that have to do with drinking...this...If the Law says you are not legal to drink until you are 21 years old, then any alcohol consumed prior to that would be illegal and therefore sin; and God will not stay where sinners trod.  But on the flip side, God is would be waiting for Suzie to realize the mistake she made, fell remorseful about doing it and the come and repent to God for it.  (Please note that repentance starts with a heart change)  Once Suzie repents then 1John 1:9 will become true in her life: "If we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 

Criminals are the ones who practice a life of illegal behavior, not Christians.

3. "Cuss Words" ...The Bible says in Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth , but that which is good for the edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers," and Proverbs 4:23-24 says, "23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it flow the issues of life. 24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee."  Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  Last but not least, Matthew 12:34 says, "O generation of vipers, how can you being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."

What does all that mean???  ...it means that if you aren’t speaking to build someone up, you are speaking to tear them down.  Jesus said that in fulfilling two specific commandments we would fulfill the law.  Those two commandments are to 1. Love the Lord God with all our Heart, Mind, and Strength, and 2. Love our neighbor as ourselves. 

If Suzie did these two things she would go to heaven, absolutely.

The Bible does say that God’s grace and Mercies are new every morning, but that being said, are you or Suzie willing to stake your eternal life (because you will have one either in heaven or hell) on the idea that it is okay to say Jesus is your Lord and then live with sin in your life, and not repent (which includes turning away from it so you don’t do it again) with the hopes that God will still have grace on you to give you another day?  He’s been waiting long enough, don’t make him wait any longer...RUN to Him and make it right.

The Bible says that if you call on the name of Jesus you will be saved, but the Bible also says that you have to walk out your salvation DAILY (which means that you could possibly go a day without being saved), and the Bible also says "Look up, for the DAY of your salvation draws near."  God is not a "once saved, always saved" God and Jesus is NOT a FIRE INSURANCE Policy.  We are to live a LIFE, not a day, devoted to God.

So, the answer to your question is this...If Suzie continues the way she is going, I believe she will end up in Hell (by her choice, since she has heard what the Bible says - She doesn’t read her Bible or she’d know even more), BUT, if she repents and runs to God and becomes devoted to Him, she will DEFINITELY go to Heaven.

I hope that helps.  :-)

eminem rules [oops] u all

im a christian and i struggle with sin every day...just cause you repent, that doesnt mean you will never sin again or commit the same exact sin you commited before you repented... this isnt really on subject... we will always sin untill Jesus comes and makes us new. some sins people struggle with, and may always commit that sin... examples: lieing, gossiping, bad mouthing, steriotyping, bragging, being prideful, gluttony, (spelling?). even being tempted to do somethin and not doing it, is a sin. perverted thoughts are a sin. jelousy, coveting, yelling at some one in anger. putting your needs before some1 else. ignoring evil.just thinking most of these things is a sin. cheating in a card game is a sin. these are all examples of evil that we do every day... maybe not all of them every day... but at least one of these a day we will commit... if you dont do one of these things once a day, im sure i can think of more to add on to this list.

A couple of thoughts on reading this message.

First, I really do enjoy KJ-52’s songs.  There is a great message to be found in them, and the "Dear Slim" songs are no different.  I think that they were written as he compared his singing with Eminem’s as so many do compare it.

Second, to Larke and the others who profess that Eminem is a Christian, Larke is correct that the to judge others for by the same measure that we judge them so shall we be judged.  But what you are forgetting is that it also tells us that we are to be fruit inspectors.  That means that if we do not see the evidence of Christ in the life of the person claiming to be Christian, then their lips are just flapping.  All that I see in you quotes from Eminem are flapping lips.  They recognize a God, this is true, but then again so does Satan.  There are many who believe they will get into heaven without Jesus, so your "Never Enough" is irrelevant as evidence.  Read your quote again from "Infinite": "Imitator, Intimidator, Stimulator, Simulator of data, Eliminator".  Are these ways you describe Jesus?  As a fake?  As a Bully?  Eminem says the only who was more of those than him was Jesus!  Not what I would expect from a follower of Christ!

Third, on the Susie issue, and on the larger issue of whether we as Christians are still able to sin, I to think that it is possible for a Christian to sin and still be secure in his salvation.  Why do I say that, because of what the Apostle Paul wrote: "For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing."  You see, the Apostle Paul understood that we are a three part being.  We have a body (flesh), we have a soul (our mind, will, and emotions), and we are a spirit.  Paul understood that we had a battle going on inside of us between the soul (our old man) and the spirit (that was made Alive in Christ).  And they both want control of us.  So each day our take control of the battle.  Paul reminds us of this, when he tells us not to be conformed to this world (don’t settle for a life of sin) but be transformed by the renewing of our minds (take control and change the way you think).  So what does this have to do with Suzie, well if she has accepted Christ, and by the author of the hypothesis I will accept that she has, then she has chosen thus far to live a life of average instead of the full life that Christ has given her.  She drinks to get drunk, she cusses like a sailor, she does not pray and she does not read her bible.  But she does go to church, not every week but most weeks, so she has not foresaken the coming together as some have.  I would say reading this that she is still a newborn in Christ.  She does not realize that she has the power within her to change, and does not appear to realize that she is doing the Christian thing wrong.  As such, I think she would go to heaven if she were to die, but then would be ashamed on the day of judgement.  She will come through the fire, but will not have much gold to show for it.

Fourth, can a Christian be perfect?  I used to think like so many of you that it is not possible.  But as I have gotten older and have studied more, I have rethought that position.  So many of you have brought up the sins of the person BEFORE their salvation experience.  But I ask you, what does 2 Corinthians 5:17 state "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation’ the old things have passed away, behold all things have become new."  When you become a Christian, that slate is wiped clean.  When you confess sin, that sin is forgotten.  It is possible then, to moment by moment, walk this life in a perfect walk." Have I reached it yet, no.  I still make mistakes, but I turn to Him and am forgiven and start over.  Much like the Alcoholic at Al Anon.  I, by walking each day, may be perfect for 1 day, or for 1 week, or for 1 month.  And when I mess up, then I start over, like that person when they fall off the wagon.  Is this a proper view, I think so because Paul, when addressing churches did not once write to the "sinners at ..." but rather wrote to the "saints at...".  In God’s eyes, the sacrifice of Jesus has done something great, "because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy."  We are perfect, in theory, it is by walking that perfection out that we are being made holy.

did Kim really get saved? cool maybe she can lead Marshall there

As far as who will go to Heaven the jesus clearly states who will go and its those who accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not Perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16)If Eminem doesnt accept Jesus, he will go to Hell. thats why i constantly pray almost daily for him to give his life to the Lord. Because i really like Eminem alot and it would be so cool if he became a christian rapper. Just think if he got filled with the Holy Ghost, plus use the talent the Lord blessed him with just think about how annointed and how many people he could touch with the power of the Holy Spirit. I like listening to KJ52 because he sounds like a christian Eminem. i conitinue to pray for Mr. Marshall Mathers daily. and yes we all sin but thats why we must pray daily for ourselves to get away from the sins that we commit. no one is perfect but as long as we pray and strive to be better God can work with us.
