well, if that is the foundation of the beliefs i have that guide my choices, well, yeah, its going to be the deciding factor. my faith does nothing to "trample my feelings". it only offends those who do not share those particular convictions.
condemnation does not come the way of the follower of Christ, according to the bible, so i dont know why i would feel condemned. its not about feeling condemned. the bible says taht no man should destroy what he has brought together and that he hates divorce. and the bible teaches princeples of seedtime and harvest....
so i am choosing not to sew those seeds, because i do not wish that harvest on me or my coming generations. simple as that. i am better educated to Christianity than to beat myself up with guillt, or to let anyone else cause to feel that guilt.
as far as "religion".... the bible also says that the traditions of man ruin the word of God, (that part is admittedly a loose paraphrase... .i cant really remmeber the exact words...) but that PURE and UNDEFILED religion is to visit the widowed and fatherless in their afflictions.
as far as helping me... maybe i chose the wrong word.. it certainly seemed like you were trying to... maybe "enlighten" is a better word. whatever the case.
the condemnation comes from people, not god. i am sure you would no that if you would have read that new testament "a thousand times". i am guilty of the affair by entertaining the thought; but where there is SIN, for me, GRACE abounds.
the consequence for me is called SALVATION. called COVERED BY THE BLOOD. what do you think "remittance for sins means"? just because i am found guilty already, that does not mean i should act it out. "all things are lawful unto me, though not profitable to my soul" but i am sure you know that.
your theology is badly misinformed. and if you read the BIBLE and STUDY- NOT READ ON A CASUAL BASIS- you woul dfind that that little list of yours has nothing to do with CHRISTIANITY. there are plenty of parishiners that have royally decieved people, there are hundreds upon hundreds of priests who have misconstured the truth with the exact same words written in the text and people just eat it up and belive blindly cause some guy in a robe says it is so. i am am not among those people.
spirituality answers absolutely nothing, because it leaves everyone up to their own personal god, their personal framework and whatever they DECIDE to believe is real. they can pray to a rcok and be erfectly fine and be healed in all manner of ways because they rely on the psycological value of their belief in whatever it is they want to believe in. if i said i was a new age spiritualist you would have said absolutely nothing and you know it... but when it comes to Christianity people feel some need to discredit and disprove and evreything and yeah that IS A LITTLE annoying. if said i was wiccan and the earth mother prohibited me from such things, you wouldnt have said a word in reference to my beliefs.
