"However, if I bring something to the table regarding this, I would ask you to consider these as backing up the "valid point" we have been discussing. ok?" I am unaware as to what this "valid point" could be. This may be because there IS no valid point; it may be because the "valid point" is an implied statement I have failed to recognise (I'm autistic. Autistic people have trouble recognizing the implied). I was challenging your statement that the moral law is standard and absolute. I know of no moral law - God's or man's - which is either standard or absolute. Considering the nature of this board, I had thought perhaps the moral lawgiver to which you were referring is Jehovah God. If so, even He has no standard - absolute or otherwise - other than "do what I say". With that in mind, the only reason sex - any kind of sex - outside of marriage is considered a sin is because God says it is. Actions are not right or wrong in themselves - only in relation to God's will can an action be considered "right" or "wrong". And even then, it all gets reduced to "will God kick my butt if I do this?" or "will God kick my butt if I DON'T do this?". Any attempt on your part, then, to ascribe any kind of morality to what humans do is an attempt to differentiate between one sin and another, to differentiate between one SINNER and another. Well, we've all sinned; we've all fallen short of the glory of God. Like it or loathe it you're as bad as me, I'm as bad you. Be assured than when God looks at you and me He sees us in exactly the same way, even though you may think there is a difference between us. It's time for you to stop judging, I think, and for you to go home and sin no more... Peace be with you Rex Infinity |
