Today's current behavior is tomorrow's past behavior. That's why the church I attend doesn't turn anyone away, even those who are living lives of unrepentant sin.

Your response displayed a senstivity that I truly didn't expect. I wasn't expecting such a defensive reaction. In prior conversations you've come right out and said that you don't mingle well with modern women with modern morals. If my revelation that your condemnation from the previous post was a problem upset you, then please, accept my apology, it wasn't meant to be offensive, but insightful.

My church feels the same way as yours, and we don't turn anyone away, who is living a life of sin, either. After all, Christ did the same.

BUT.................

That does NOT mean that it is ok to continue to do sin blatantly(as in sexual promiscuity), and claim to lead a Christian life. After all, Christ would forgive someone of their sins and THEN-- say "go and sin no more". Therefore, when someone DOES change, they are then expected to live a life commiserate to that of Christ. Otherwise, what is the difference, if a person does NOT change?

And YES-- I did say, that I do not get along well with women who espouse the modern, valueless lifestyle, like the one in the article, and who only want sex or money . I am not the only guy that feels that way here. I did NOT say that I would not get together with someone who HAD lived that way, and had changed, however.

Very wise, Melas. That's the right attitude, I think.
