my point about following your faith is this, can you honestly turn round and say to me that in your life you have never sinned in any way? if you have sinned you have not followed your faith so proving my argument, if you are pure then all power to you but i find that hard to believe, not one person follows it because to do so would be impossible because were "only human" therefore its impossible to attain, the reason its impossible to attain is because if anyone managed it they and probably everyone else involved would go mad just trying to work it all out. Religion is an unacheivable concept BUT to the individual it provides comfort and thats a good thing, organised religion i have a big problem with, religion for the individual can only be a good thing if you follow it properly.

You obviously don't understand the religion(s) you are talking about. [img]smile.gif[/img] We ALL sin, it's a matter of trying not to and meaning it when you repent of those sins. It's a matter of trying to do what is right, even though we sometimes fail. We hold that only Jesus Christ was/is perfect in that way and we strive to do as he told us we should. So we don't expect to be perfect or sinless. However, in my daily life (as do many people I personally know) I attempt to follow the 10 commandments as best I can. I try to do my level best at coping with life without hurting others. I try to help where I can and offer support when I can. It's a part of being Christian, for me and for many others.

and how do i know what you follow? i dont but i do know for example the ten commandments, and are you seriously saying you have never fancied someone elses wife or partner ? if so you broke one didnt you? i covetted plenty of women and i fully admit it, if you admit it then you just proved what i been saying if you dont admit it then i dont believe you so you cant win, see why i can make a sweeping statement like that? because however small it may be if you say "oooo i fancy the arse off that posh spice, would love to have her" a) Mr beckham wouldnt be too favourable and b) your breaking one of the 10 commandments, part of the foundation for the christian religion whether it be catholic, protestant or any other, i dont need to know alot of christians to make that statement as its human nature to fancy gorgeous women and want them, married or not. For me personally its a silly rule as you cant control your thoughts and feelings inside only on the outside.

This is still from your laboring under the misunderstanding that all Christians are supposed to be perfect and sinless, but here's a shot at replying... LOL nope I never have fancied anyone's wife
I like men...
Ok, a joke,but my answer is really above. One can do that and know it's wrong. Acting on that 'fancy' would be even worse.
