[CS-FSLUG] Glorifying having a baby out of wedlock

[Christopher Rose]

I was not attempting to argue against the point. I was merely pointing out the judgmental and fairly unforgiving way in which the point was presented. I, in truth, do agree with the main point. I would like, however, for an understanding to exist that there are exceptions to what was written and that God does forgive. This does not mean that I condone pre-marital sex, and I regret my past in that regards, but forgiveness exists for those who will and do truly repent. There are absolutes and God's law are absolute, but so is his forgiveness.

pax,

Christopher

p.s. Let there be no hurtful feelings between us.
