Let's discuss: I believe that each person is their own "god" so to speak. They have the ability to make decisions as they relate to themselves...not to others. They have the ability to decide whether those decisions are good or evil as it relates to their lives...not to others. So, how does Bill Clinton's sex life relate to zip's or Forgiven's or yours? It doesn't. From past experience, I've learned that your nothing but a trouble-maker. Am *I* wrong? Maybe. But you've done nothing to disprove it. I've made the decision that you are a trouble-maker and react accordingly. You've made the decision to react to that and not try to explain where I may be in error. We both made decisions for ourselves...and our actions (and conscience) are reflections of that. Am I in error for labeling you a trouble-maker? Probably. Are you in error for not trying to disprove what I believe instead of jumping back? Probably. I doubt seriously if my opinion of you is causing you any lack of sleep. And I know that your opinion of me isn't causing any. So how do our decisions really effect the other's? Not at all. Our decisions only affect us...not others. Christianity is no different. It's the decision of each Christian to live their lives in the best manner that they can...not live up to each other's expectations. |
