My Rebuttal to No one

Where to start?

First off, the reason i left kissing as a gray area was because i didn't want to get into a legalistic argument about what "is" is. Do i think kissing can occur without lustful thoughts? Yes. Do i think the large majority of people have lustful thoughts when they kiss? HECK YES! The main point of my argument was that it is a matter of the heart, not the body. That isn't a hole in my argument, it's a hole in "anonymous'" understanding.

Second, What's the point of the "other gods" observation? At its most liberal interpretation the worst it does to my argument is "fail to solidify" it. In no way would that point refute any of my points. I could remove those verses and my argument wouldn't change.

Finally, "Any" goes on to attack me personally by accusing my of "judging." Where is he getting this from? Just because i am addressing a sin it doesn't mean that i myself claim to be sinless. I deserve Hell just as much as Hitler, Elton John, or my Grandpa. The irony is that by "Anony" claiming that i am "judging" he is in fact "judging" me.

I did agree with one thing "Anony" said.

"But, if you were to seriously consider the text at the level of strict enforcement you demand elsewhere, you must consider the mere lustful glance or thought to be sex, and therefore, surely, you yourself are not clean of sin."

That's the whole friggin point!!

that's why we all need the forgiveness that can only come through dedicating our lives to Jesus Christ.

I seriously doubt that "Anony" will even care to return to my site to hear my explanation. That's probably why he left his comment anonymously. We all want to yell, but we never want to hear.

Does the truth have any bearing on which way you go?
