I do not change my morales just because somebody says that it's okay by mans law. And no where in my comment did I mention sin. The Law in Caif. just passed that girls and boys can use what ever rest room they feel like while attending school. Do I believe that this is right just because of the law? No. Do I apporve of it? No. This is my last comment on this subject I hope. cheers everyone..lol Edited August 15, 2013 by chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Strong Tendencies that Nullify Grace  Along this train of thought -  There was a song that came out back in the 70's: "And they'll know we are Christians by our love."  I've often marveled, though, at how this principle never seemed to manifest itself in the Body of Christ.  Rather, it has seemed: "And they'll know we are Christians by our obsession with sin."   It's like a problem I have. For some reason, I got into the habit of pinching the zits on my face. It turned into an addiction where I feel better from squeezing oil out of my face. So I look for zits and blackheads and any potential pocket of oil to squeeze out. So what that it damages my face, I'm getting the nasty oil out!  This seems to be what we are like as the body of Christ. We don't see the beauty of the face, we see the nasty zits and we look close up for the nasty oil because it feels so good to eliminate it. And then we believe that eliminating the oil is love, even though it leaves behind wounds and swollen tissue, rather than believing love is covering over the zit or treat it in a way that brings healing in its own time and way.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been posting a lot a breastfeeding thread, and after speaking with someone about what happened today. I decided it would be best to post this in both threads.  I've spoken out very hard against women not using covers when breastfeeding. Well, today I took my kids on a trip for the day to the museum of life and science in Durham, NC. When we where there, we were looking at a weather exhibit. Beside the exhibit was a small padded bench. When we walked in a went to the exhibit, my kids and nephew kept going around the exhibit. I noticed the first time I passed the woman she was holding a small child against herself. The child was about 18-24 months old. Maybe, just maybe 12-18 months. Anyways, as I passed the woman the first time she looked up at me and I just gave a quick smile and went back to watching my kids. 3 kids is a handful in a room full of people. Well, I said we went around the exhibit 3 times. The 3rd time around, I realized the woman was not holding the child. She was breastfeeding the child. I didn't see an inch of flesh. She was using no cover. I know my kids didn't notice because they would have said something, or asked me about it. Nobody noticed anything.  While I said in my posts many times, that breastfeeding was ok as long as it was done modestly. I was pretty harsh about using a cover. God reminded me today, that I don't know everything. I apologize to everyone for my words and attitude.  God Bless you all Firestormx Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
