HOW BAD IS BAD?
God is to be feared, but he is just, what is the most you can get away with and still be saved? This is not a stupid question as in modern society we don't stone a woman to death if she is not a virgin but still think we follow god's law. When we read the bible, what laws are definitely right and what laws should we ignore?

Re: HOW BAD IS BAD?
Yes, it is a stupid question. Actually, a very stupid question.
Did you suffer a brain injury during the civil unrest in Belfast, or are you just naturally...uh...how do I put this politely?...nonsensical?

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

All of God's laws are definitely right. Why would you even consider him wrong with something?tj rich wrote:When we read the bible, what laws are definitely right and what laws should we ignore?

This is a hard question to frame, but I'll give you this; If you are truly saved, you are forgiven of all sins by the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you are not truly saved, then you will get away with nothing.
You will be judged according to your ways.
I am the wretch the song refers to.

Re: HOW BAD IS BAD?
If you do a search of tj rich's previous posts, you'll understand something about him. Last night, a particularly senseless post of his was removed (by forces unknown), along with my answer in which I called him a «mixed-up puppy».
Those of you who have taken his question at face value - as if it had merit and were honest - are to be commended for the spirit of charity shown towards this benighted person.
I made the mistake of answering him according to his folly:
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. -Pr 26:4

Re: HOW BAD IS BAD?
Sorry, but this isn't a question that needs to be answered. Rather, it should be annihilated from the planet.
The common theme of the world seems to be "what kind of immorality and sin can I indulge in without looking like a bad person?"
Did you (are you) a Christian because you want fire insurance or do you really love God? Someone who loves God doesn't ask "how much can I disobey Him and still get away with it?", which is essentially what you're asking.
