Jesus Dies For Our Sins... How To Ask Him To Erase All The Porn?

[Strike For The South]

This is true in the sencse that all Sin seperates man from God, but in the more concrete sense it is patently false. If you really believed all Sins were equal you would spend as much time trying to rob old ladies as trying to have sex with young girls, wouldn't you Strike?

In the eyes of God they are all the same. The same human follies that seperate us from God in the first place also cause us to weight sins or worngdoings differentley so we can cast judgement on our fellow man.

So, you're not going to chase any more tail? Or, more to the point, you're going to stop watching porn, right?

I don't forsee that but I also don't see what you're getting at....one man is in no position to judge another in a Godly sense. Now due to our follies we must set some rules we all agree upon but to assume we can hold the same judgemental powers as God is very prideful

Well, according to you what you do is as bad as murder. So your statement clearly shows that you should stop trying sleep with Co-eds.

Get it?

LMFAO Hahahahaha CuteWolf, you are freakin hilarious, man. But heeeeeeeey, we are, all of us, imperfect in our ways.

Now that you've mentioned it, the issue of judging people is one I have been wondering about recently. Although people like to shout "Judge not lest ye be judged" at Christians, I think they are taking that somewhat out of context, since in the same verse, Jesus does go on to say that first take out the beam in your own eye and then admonish your brother.

There is a habit with both liberals and the stricter Christians to take verses out of context and use them to support prohibitions of certain things when in fact the author intended to give a warning again excessive use or the abuse of them. Such is the case with the prohibitions people place on alcohol, or taking oaths, or lawsuits etc.

I think it depends if you are talking of general standards or legalistic standards. By general standards, I just mean the common sense view that obviously some acts are far worse than others, both in their consequences and from a moral perspective. But with the legal standards with God and his justice and punishment etc, anything less than perfection is an abomination.

Yes but see I make a clear distincition btwn

1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

This seems to be more focused on the judgemental aspect, while:


3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

This seems to to say take stock of your own shortcomings before helping out a brother or be reminded of your own shortcomings. Which of course we all have

So far we have all missed the burning question:

Why are you taking (and using) a laptop to church in the first place? Seriously. Leave it at home. In the car. Whatever. That's like taking a bong to grandmas house, you are just asking for trouble.

These whackjobs (pun intended) asked you to erase your computer games stuff that tell em to get lost

[Meneldil]

Delete the priest, keep the porn.

[Hax]

*. PS: I really need advices from fellow Christians... so don't bring another pov's arguments here...

Then go post on a Christian forum. It's about as realistic as me opening a thread going:

"Hey guys I think we should all blatantly discriminate Israel, but please Fragony and other right-wing people don't respond kthxbai."

[gaelic cowboy]

Father Jack has his priorities right

Please note that the above is a bit riske and vulgar as well as quite funny. Backroomers view at your own risk.

Just remember, you'll be missing classics like this thread once you're in A.

I've always thought it strange that some Christians are against alcohol when Christ was clearly a supporter of binge drinking and teen drinking.

If you're willing to commit another sin... lying.

Move all your porn (and gaming?) to a external hard drive. Every ones happy.

When I was a Christian, my friend who was the youth minister said exactly the same thing. It's fine to drink, have fun, party, all the rest of it as long as you do it in moderation, don't hurt others and understand the consequences. Now, I don't know how that stands in the greater scheme of Christianity, but it made a lot of sense to me.

what happened to Live Excessively...

what happened to Live Excessively...

Living excessively is different to living to the excess. Living excessively implies living for maximum enjoyment, whatever that is for you and how ever many experiences that is. Living to the excess is doing/consuming as much as possible all the time.

Perhaps the "Cute Wolf" part worried him.
