» pink101 - Who We Are

.
Here we are.
.
I could name every one of us starting with Boanerges and ending with Zanzi.
.
But, who we are? Now, that's something each of us is learning about.
.
Who is the Pink? And, I don't mean Phil Johnson; although, that is sort of a catchy name, isn't it? I mean, who am I?
.
Why do we express ourselves here? So that others get to know us? Maybe? But, more importantly, if we can handle it, we're learning who WE are? Who I am in your eyes.
.
For you not to tell me what you think of the way I express myself because you want to be nice or for some other reason, well, that doesn't make a lot of sense.
.
I tease a lot. Why do people tease? Have you heard of someone teasing people they don't like?
.
This thread might not get a lot of action as most people cannot handle such thinking. But, is it not promised in the Bible that if we lose our old self that we, then, can gain a new self? What is the old self? I tend to think that many people who believe they are believers are merely cut outs of something they read about in the Bible and hear in church. Didn't Jesus allow his body to be sacrificed for us so that we could exercise the liberty to be who it is that we truly are?
.
Go figure.
.
And, come back.
.
The by words of the seventies was, "let's boogie". What did that mean?
