| perfect name, family, drunk toilet, seanbaby, hentai rape, easydrunk girl, simpson, sledging(cricket), news, pissed about, | This is my point on the issue of behavior (includign my own) and faith. Leaving specifics of liberal and conservative aside, and acknowledging that any deeply held freepictures of incest belief impacts one's behavior, the central point is not about human behavior, but the nature of God. freepictures of incest It's only human arrogance and desire to manipulate the power of faith for personal freepictures of incest power and gain that have convinced so many people otherwise. Posted by: veruca | Dec 21, 2004 11:26:06 AM veruca: I don't intend to use this comment section for a full fledged theological debate. I'm uncertain from your post, though, whether you are troubled by Christianity itself (as in a set of beliefs) or more so the concrete manifestations of it in human institutions (the church) over history? |

| In terms of this: "Christianity has always been to a very great extent about regulating behavior, about distinguishing right behavior from wrong behavior." I'll agree with you on the historical point that this is what the church has often emphasized, but I'll also disagree that this is news the actual core of the faith itself. Christ's sermon on the mount is largely about how simply following "right" behavior news is insufficient; the deeper concerns are what's in a person's heart and their relationship towards God and others. This quality of the heart, I would argue, is more the concern liberal Christians have about how their conservative bretheren respond to homosexuality, women, etc, than simply behavior in and of itself. On the opposite side of the coin, the primary gospel conflict between Christ and the Pharisees, that lead to his death, is over his criticism of their over reliance on minute regulation of behavior, which made them and their behavior the center of religion, rather than God--precisely the opposite of Christ's message. |
