Or else he believed in the principles, but was too weak to act according to them.

Humans can't will themselves to action, our brains aren't wired that way.


So I will merely say that a large part of the Christian faith focuses on exactly that - resisting the temptations of the flesh.


A large part of Christian Faith is not the resisting of the temptations of the flesh but is instead trying to form a communion with God. Christian Faith recognizes we are all innately broken and nothing we can do can fix that, only by coming to understand that we are innately broken can we establish a relationship with God and thus obtain the Kingdom of Heaven.

If your religion states homosexuality is wrong, then it is a position of principle... Shannow - 27/01/2011 06:59:04 PM 844 Views
Wow, you really don't understand what it is to be human Roland00 - 27/01/2011 08:51:17 PM 702 Views

Of course. Faith is a broad concept. But... Shannow - 27/01/2011 09:20:54 PM 864 Views
