Of course we all sin, but there are biblical remedies for that sin which have social utility. Our very republic was based on that biblically-mandated social response to grave sin. In the case of murder, you execute the sinner—after due process. You may forgive him, but you don’t re-fellowship him. In the case of adultery, drunkeness, extortion, etc., you disfellowship the sinnner, even if the sinner is your own kin, until they are truly penitent. The reality of those penalties made for a more peaceful, and a considerably less expensive government.
Okay. Fine. Now keep the Bristol stuff on Bristol threads. Agreed?
I doubt that even the most pristine Christians in the presidency, if they should so desire, could bring us a second Puritan land, though they could certainly help ameliorate existing evils.
hey there little buddy.
I am 23 years old.
in the past...
1. I have smoked some weed
2. I had a lot of premarital sex
Does that make me less of a Christian ?
90% or more of people posting on Free Republic are just as guilty as I am.
