Not two sets of morals, but a delay in his period of judgement. In the mean time measures must be taken to keep the world in order hence law. Correct Also correct. But we must make sure that that we are talking about punishments and not what is regarded as sin. The punishments on earth...

1. How many primary characters will you utilise? One... well two kinda (they are the same person) 2. Where is your film set? A house 3. What is the overall tone of your piece? Do you use any particular style of film, eg. noir, western . . . Thriller most proabably 4. Do any of your characters...

In a worldy system though, this is not so much about morals, since it is rare that anyone would hold the belief that absolute morailty does exist. It is morally justifiable because God knows that for systems to exist on earth crimes must be dealt with punishments. The crimes with the greatest...

I do feel that we are all equally sinful, which means I am in agreement with God. This does not mean however that all sins have the same impact on victims, and it is because of this that we have law in our society. Without law to judge the severity of punishments fairly, we would turn to...

I can justify this because I can agree that a worldy system must punish according to the degree of consequences resulting from an illegal act. This system of sin that I am referring to (whereby we are all sinful) is not designed to be dealt with this side of life however.

Lol. Sorry, I was only using Serious' wording to make a point. I believe in fact that we are all bad people, because we all sin. So in that regard you are a bad person just as I am. Bad really doesn't seem like correct terminology, but you know what I mean.

If we live by our own moral compass, we have no basis to tell whether we are "good" or "bad" people other then that of our own selves. This means that it is not possible to make distinctions between good or bad people, because everyone runs on a different compass. This explanation may seem a...

So are you suggesting that by deciding to not have sex before marriage, you are more likely to end up with STD's, conception ect?

Me too, lol. That debate belongs more in the "Does God Exist" thread and as you pointed out NTB, it's not really going to help our threadstarter at all. kk, no problem and agreed. I didn't say lying was any worse, rather that its consequences are more clear cut. In many cases it would seem to...

Yeah, of course. As I mentioned in a previous post, if there is no such thing as absolute morailty which would give reason to the possibilty of sin, then much of this is pointless. But I'm not trying to make an argument for whether sin exists or not, rather discussing what implications there...

That is exactly what I am saying. It is the same sin, as in both are adultery. However committing this sin one way, ie lusting, does not make it okay to go and commit the act by actually sleeping with someone as well. I think that there are a few reasons here. The first is that it is in the...

The word "actually"? Did you mean "already"? Jesus brought up the issue of adultery in the heart because he wanted to emphasize that lusting is the same as commiting adultery in real life, as in, has the same immorrality. This would have been a big shock to those who heard this when he first...

Yey! 10000 posts for you NTB! congratulations :) Anyway back on topic, to me the phrasing in both forms put forward have the same meaning. The fact that it is in his heart in both show that there is a difference to the normal usual form of adultery.

It doesn't mean that it is the exact same act. The one described in the bible is adultery committed in the heart, not adultery commited in the bed. They are both equally wrong acts however. Same as above. He says that you have commited adultery in your heart. It does not say that by lusting you...

It's in the link to the other thread. here it is again :) http://community.boredofstudies.org/2153136/post-110.html

This would take me ages to write out, so I'll refer you to an older post of mine in a similar thread that has the main reasons why I will be waiting for marriage. http://community.boredofstudies.org/2153136/post-110.html

In your analogy the offender has in fact commited two acts. If it was infact wrong to think about stealing something that would be one offence. The second would be when they actually steal it. In the biblical example you have Jesus is talking about the fact that it is just as wrong to lust over...

Yeah, lol, it sure ends up a complicated issue. My original intention for the post was not to say that there is or is not an absolute truth but rather give advice assuming that there is. having said that though, now that we are at this issue, I may as well give a bit of an explanation. It...

This thread kind of reminds me of the sex before marriage thread back a while ago. Anyway, in answer to your question NTB, you are correct in saying that lusting after someone is a sin according to the bible, and indeed Jesus' own lips. But even if she has commited that already, that does not...

I would definatley take a look at Internode (http://www.internode.on.net) or iiNet (http://iinet.com.au). I'm with internode, and they have a fantastic network. If your into games they also have one of the biggest gaming networks set up and if your with them and playing on their servers, it's...
