If one simply looks at life itself we realize that it is not the single big things that destroy, but the little things. The big things are always seen and most move quickly to repair, fix or remove. The little things are often overlooked, set aside, and slowly destroy and often because under the surface cause compleate destruction . Often by the time one notices, the corruption is so compleate that to restore, all has to be destroyed and built compleately new again.

be ye not conformed to this world, but be ye transformded by the renewing of your mind with the reading of the word. yes we know Jesus sat and ate with the sinners, and had wine with their meal. but I don't think he would of stayed if they brought in belly dancers, or where I'm from stripper. and talked to them about the kingdom of God; not about how'd they like they behind on the chic just walked in. and I seriosly doubt if our Lord would like to see anything that will not edify the kingdom of God and the salvation that he had to so viciously laid his life down for.... He may have been in the male body but his (mind) is so not ear the way men think. and I think it is blasphemy to say Christ would hang out in a club and have( or by you a beer). it's a sick thought.. and I pray no one who is tring to build a relationship with God believe that.

Was trying to include how I got to the subject of 'lesser sins' from polygamy....
But what I am trying to say is that since I believe 'sleeping around' has basically been a fact of life probably since Esau, I think polygamy should be equally accepted by the ungodly....I would much rather have people actually taking care of the people they sleep with, then sleeping around, not caring, and treating themselves and their 'partners' as whores and their offspring as fetuses that can simply be aborted...or just treating 'sex' as a 'meaningless pleasure act'. I think this belief that sex is a non-meaningful sensual act or just 'for fun' is absurd and leads to abortions, infidelities, lust, and other things...whereas if they actually not only where spiritually connected through sex but actually married the people they had sex with, then something at least more meaningful would become of it, rather than abortions, et cetera... For some reason in my mind, the modern thought of sex as 'meaningless pleasure/fun--hopefully it won't create a baby' is one of the most demented concepts I have ever come across... Every baby that comes from sex is a blessing. And in a strange way I think it would be better for people who are going to sleep around to have many wives than to sleep around meaninglessly, have accidental babies they may abort, and ruin both their current families lives and the life of the baby born out of wedlock; I don't know what I am trying to say...
Let me give another scenerio...My 19 year old brother sleeps with his girlfriend, and since I do not believe they are going to stop, I seem to say in my mind, well 'if they are not going to stop, then it is better that they get married'...and since I see the first option as futile, I resort to this second tactic...Perhaps not right, perhaps insisting on them not sleeping together is the perfect thing to do, which I do...but do I have to put my foot down and insist every time I speak to him that it stop or can this other option of if they get married, then it was not meaningless sex but actually meant what it was suppose to, even if they did it before they were suppose to....lesser sin being they get married, greater sin that they just continue to sleep around, as he does not ahve it right now in his mind to get married for years...
I kind of think this is a bad scenerio and I am more of an "INSISTER on not sinning" than I am now portraying, but I hate the fact that people even in my family seem to take 'sexual relations with less emphasis than they should' and I don't know what to do about it...
hmmm
just thoughts, no I am not a mormon--though I think it is fairly cool how they can ride bikes like kids and wear suits at the same time
God bless

I see where you are coming from. I did not mean NIGHTclub. I dunno if he would go there or not.
We have clubs for people with common interests.
Paul used to go to pagan temple restaurants because they had the cleanest food.
The clubs here are financed mmostly through gambling.
I am sure Christ would not encourage that, either.
Certainly no stripping or anything.
