For now, Carrie Prejean remains Miss California.
Donald Trump is expected to announce the fate of this beauty queen at a press conference tomorrow afternoon. (No doubt it will be the greatest press conference in the history of mankind, right The Donald?)
The release of yet another topless Prejean pic is unlikely to help Carrie keep her crown, however, as the third photo in this quasi-nude collection was published early today by TheDirty.com.
It's shown below, side-by-side-by-side with her other two half-naked pictures. Take note: Prejean may lose her crown NOT due to her stance on gay marriage, but because she lied about the number of lingerie pics she posed for.
Meanwhile, remember that rumor about Prejean and Michael Phelps? Follow this article's jump for a picture of the pair partying.
Were Prejean and Phelps ever a couple? Maybe not.
But did Carrie likely take home (a clearly wasted) Phelps home on this night and show him her very own breaststroke? We'd bet on it!
Hmmmm, what does the Bible say about getting drunk? It permits wine tasting, but comes down hard on full-on inebriation. Considering how seriously Prejean appears to take that text (she did cite the Bible when speaking out against gay marriage, remember), it's worth noting...
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. - Ephesians 5:18
Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine. - Proverbs 23:29-35

More elective quotations of the Bible just to mock someone's faith without knowing what it really teaches. Nor know what many Christians believe is biblical on wine.
And it should be noted that the Bible does not require a believer to be sinless (which is oxymoron) to be able to stand up for what God's word say on the issue of sin. Otherwise, Paul would be disqualified for being the "worst of sinners." Sorry, but the Bible does not say Christians are sinless nor state being sinless is requirement to be witnesses for Christ and His Holy Word.
1 John 1:8 state that if any state he has no sin, he is a liar and the truth is not in him, and 1 John 2:1-2 say when we do sin, we have Christ Interceding for us before the Father, that our sins be forgiven. Your statements that prove Prejean is a sinner does not undermine her claim to being Christian nor claim to be able to articulate what God's word say. You are grasping at straws there. Christians like her do not deny they are sinners, but that they are sinners forgiven by God on account of Christ crucified.
Outside of most, but not all of, the mainly Baptist and some Pentecostal churches, conservative Christianity (such as Lutherans, Presbyterians, Catholics, Orthodoxs) does not see drinking wine in of itself is sin in the Bible.
The Bible in these passages state it is sin to get drunk with wine. It does not make drinking wine itself sin. The practice of the Christian church for many centuries was in fact to use wine in the Lord's supper, which we see as according to how it was done originally with Christ's institution of it. In fact many denominations in their statements of beliefs and faith state wine is what is used in the Lord's supper. If drinking wine is sin, then Christ sinned by turning water to wine for use at the wedding in Cana.
The Bible does not condemn drinking wine, but only getting drunk. (And even one of the heroes of the faith, Noah, got drunk in the Bible, so should he be disqualified, too, from being a believer?)
Passages (just a few among many in the Bible) that endorse or at least permit drinking wine as long as one does not get drunk:
John 2:9
They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.
John 4:46
Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.
1 Timothy 5:23
Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
Genesis 14:18
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,
Genesis 27:28
May God give you of heaven's dew and of earth's richness— an abundance of grain and new wine.
Deuteronomy 7:13
He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you.
Deuteronomy 11:14
then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil.
Deuteronomy 14:23
Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always.
Deuteronomy 14:26
Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice.
Deuteronomy 16:13
Celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.
Deuteronomy 33:28
So Israel will live in safety alone; Jacob's spring is secure in a land of grain and new wine, where the heavens drop dew.
2 Chronicles 31:5
As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously gave the firstfruits of their grain, new wine, oil and honey and all that the fields produced. They brought a great amount, a tithe of everything.

...and selective Bible quotes are used to vilify the Gay Community. Ms. Prejean uses her so called "faith" to discriminate against, and judge the actions of, others and THAT IS A SIN!
May 11th, 2009 5:05 PM
Tim,
When did she "judge" anything? She was asked a question about her personal beliefs and answered it honestly. How is that "judging" anyone?
As for the article, they have a picture of her holding what appears to be a beer and standing with Michael Phelps. From that the author concludes (1) She must have gone home with him and shown him her "breaststroke" (quite a bad euphemism), and (2) She was drunk. The article even says she was "full-on" inebriated.
How exactly does this picture support those conclusions? Imagine if you saw Michael Phelps and wanted to get your picture with him and the next day all these allegations arose about you. How would you feel? Would you really think the facts supported the conclusions?
I guess we are supposed to assume that every celebrity who ever holds a beer must be drunk? We are also to assume that every female celebrity who has her picture taken with a male must be going home with him for a sexual encounter?
Set aside for a moment how you feel about gay marriage and look at this article objectively. If Ms. Prejean was not a celebrity this clearly would be grounds for a defamation lawsuit. There is next to nothing factual cited in the article to support the far-reaching and slanderous conclusions drawn by the author. The author's willingness to make these comments without any factual support shows that this post is really nothing more than an opportunity for the author to vent his/her personal hostility than any real attempt at an objective news article.

Uhm in "in my country" we believe that hypocrites should keep their mouths shut!
JOHN 8:7 "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone.”

Punisher is on every website defending this chick? So Punisher,let me ask you? Do you think her question was answered approriately? "In my country we believe marriage is between a man and a woman." When she lives in AMERICA, so "her country" is home to many homosexuals who DO NOT have the same views as her... Bottom line her question was answered very POORLY. And she is getting the back lash seven fold.

How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

When she said "My Country" she was refering to her state of California. In her state of California I do believe the majority voted to ban gay marriage indicating that in her state the people do believe a marriage is between a man and a woman, as is in the majority of the United States Of America. You gays put on your big boy and girl panties and get over it.
May 11th, 2009 6:24 PM
Okay so you admit she is clueless. California a country? The majority agreed to ban Prop 8 not, gay marriage, civil unions, or domestic partnership, which THE MAJORITY agreed that the topic should be researched more before becoming a law. Equality for all, not just those who think they know everything. Iggnorant bastards.
May 11th, 2009 6:51 PM
I dont recall her mentioning the banning of or denouncing of civil unions or domestic partnerships that the gays are getting their panties in a wad about. by the way what is Prop 8 about. ignorant bastards

She sure looks a lot younger in those modeling shots than she does in the picture below. What a gorgeous face as a teen and adult.
