It certainly isn't based upon Scripture--it is scarcely mentioned--and Jesus never thought it important enough to allude to even once.<BR/><BR/>I can see how they might believe it to be a sin--but (for the sake of argument conceding this) it is clearly, at most,what us Catholics, would call venal (as opposed to mortal)--on par with drinking too much or skipping Sunday mass.<BR/><BR/>It is this (along with a number of other restrictive rules--generally having to do with sex or women) which have totally supplanted the core message of the New Testament--except in word only--- just ask the horribly conflicted Ted Haggard how forgiving these people are.<BR/><BR/>~BeckyBecky C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06415067599794969890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-41441698661100890082009-02-18T12:05:00.000-08:002009-02-18T12:05:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Becky C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06415067599794969890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-46890626166759258132009-02-18T06:04:00.000-08:002009-02-18T06:04:00.000-08:00This resonated with me too.

I live in the Bible Belt so I see a lot of the evangelical behavior you described up close. It isn't pretty. But you are right; live your life honestly and God will be pleased. I'm going to remember that and try to put it into practice. Thanks for sharing your beautiful words.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093424370730709734noreply@blogger.com
