from near the top...
old sot - i hate when people twist the Word of God to suit their selfish purposes. there is NOTHING in His Word to imply people of faith SHOULD go have affairs and then try to make it look good. david truly repented, but sanford - i don't believe so. you will know them by their fruit.

Sorry Nanc....but all theology and scripture is the word and will of Man--not God. God wrote none of it personally. Some guys living 2000 years ago thought they "heard God", and wrote down what the voices in their heads said to write, or what they thought would be the most moral way to live, btw--they wrote approximately 200 years after Jesus of Nazareth existed in the case of the New Testament.
So definitely, "after the fact"; or at the very least, written after much time had passed.
I pretty much hate it when anyone tells other people how to live, but considering the enormous
population of mankind, there will always be peeps
telling other peeps how to live, how to die, and what they are going to have to do in order to be saved or "left behind".
It's all a bunch of opinionated hooey...
Who has the "Real Answers" A: No One...
And God isn't showing up again after a 2000 year
hiatus to tell us who is right and who is wrong.
Either He never existed, is a fabrication (i.e. Historical Fiction), or is disinterested in the fate
of man...
any one of these possibilities is food for much thought.
just sayin'...
Now you can go back to ranting and raving and believing what you must in order to feel better about yourself and where it is you are probably not headed.
yah, I know, I know...I'll be "left behind"...
aleady o.k. with that.
we will all inhabit the same pinewood box after all
is said and done, so better live for today.
