Hi A.I., No need to get offended - it really wasn't meant that way. As Christians, we spend a lot of time trying to encourage each other to live up to a high standard. Not everybody shares our standard, and we dont expect that they would. The scripture that Forgiven was referring to is not a judgement against anyone, but is a warning to us - sort of a "you are what you eat" kind of warning. If you will read Forgiven's last line again, he makes clear what he meant: As we spend time with those who have a substantially different moral code, the temptation to relax our own views is ever present I guess the same is true for you. If you were to spend much time hanging with us, there is a danger that your distain for us might change, too. On a personal note, I think that BoyChat is a valuable resource. I spent a lot of time over there before I ended up here, and I like most of the posters there. (Yes, there are some that annoy me!) The only reason I am not still participating there too is that it moves so fast. I don't have enough time to keep up. But - just between you and me - I still go over there some times to get a broader perspective on things. I always thought that we were both working toward the same goals, even if from different angles. Am I wrong? Nate |
