Re: Slip sliding away?
InnerCalm,
I haven't read all of your posts, but we probably do agree in many ways on this issue (if not exactly), so maybe the only reason you might misunderstand what I write is the words I use. I tried being a "Christian" conformist for 23 years, but I was a backslider/failure for about the last 22.
All abortion is 'not the desirable thing to happen'.
We all wish this was a perfect world, but sometimes there are good medical reasons for abortion, sometimes there will be no one that will ensure a decent, healthy life for the child, sometimes they're born with incurable AIDS, sometimes they will just suffer sexual abuse in the home and become psychotic so that they end up in prison at 17, sometimes they are the serial killers we dread because they were born or raised with abuse,....I could go on and on.
Each case is different and of course should receive a different decisions. I know I told you NOTHING NEW, so, yeah, you could say "relative", but that goes without saying.
Monkeytime doesn't take any of these things into account, he's just looking for people to 'fry'/persecute/crucify (this is what I call a "predator"......now that is EVIL).
Technically, I am not a "Christian" anymore, but I am a MEMBER of Christ (not a FOLLOWER of a "Pied Piper", but a MEMBER spiritually living inside His body..new creation inner temple). I am a member of "THE WAY" (Paul's devotion to Jesus), so we likely do have similar opinions of this.
The best I can explain is that from a "Christian" standpoint, there is no "free will" in devotion ("Christianity" is all 'partisan procedure/gestures', forced "obedience" for the rebellious, and prudish closed mindedness)....there's simply no comparison between rationality/free will and "Christianity", so don't try to make sense out of what Monkeytime claims to "DEBATE").
