"I suppose what I'm really asking is if the Scriptures are followed because they are God's word - and what God said must be right - or because the Scriptures seem like a good guide to living." For me, it's both. But I can tell you that even if the Bible didn't speak on the issue of sex, I would still refrain from sex with a boy. Even if it was legal. As much as I'd like to, there are just too many risks to the boy. I know every single boy that engages in sex with an adult isn't harmed, but enough of them are to make it foolish or selfish to take the chance, IMHO. As with any decision, you have to weigh the possible benefits againt the potential drawbacks. And I honestly can't see any benefits aside from brief physical pleasure that could not be had just as much without the sexual component. And the potential drawbacks are severe and involve a boy's life. Dakota |
