—I dont talk religious beliefs with nonbelievers who look to argue, debate, and bash what I believe in. I like to spread God’s word but mainly to those who want/need to hear it.
—I focus more on my relationship with God rather than the religion/denomination itself. I’m Baptist Christian but if i were Catholic Christian or another kind of Christian, I’d still do as I do because I’m not looking to please the church. I’m doing what i need to to get spiritually closer to the Lord.
—Some churches are greedy so I give my 10% and leave it at that. My preacher (who I do not respect in which I’m looking for a new church) passes the money plate around 3 times. he's also very disrespectful to those who don’t agree with him and he turned away someone in my family when they asked for his help (in terms of him preaching a sermon).
—I would’ve preferred waiting til marriage but i also dont feel like you have to marry in a church.
—I don’t support abortion nor lgbt nor polygamy but I’m not going to stop people from doing what they do when they choose to walk a different path. I’m still cordial but just very observant.
—I wouldn’t be comfortable having a baby through sex outside of marriage, yet I’d be okay with having a baby through invitro. I know its odd.
—I dont exactly have an issue with assisted suicide but it still feels like murder and I’d rather the person die when its their time. I do have an issue with death penalty and although stoning people was a big thing back then, I couldnt do that to someone
—I think animal testing is wrong and if something even has to be tested, then maybe its not worth creating in the first place. But at the same time, if it came down to testing humans or animals, I’d have to let the animals go because I dont find them on the same level as humans. Yet, I think about Noah and the Ark sometimes and wonder otherwise.
—I feel divorce is acceptable if someone is cheating or abusive or neglectful (for at least a year) but I dont think its okay to divorce just for the sake of it and I also dont support having to pay a spouse alimony unless children are involved.
—I’m okay with gambling as long as it doesn’t become a daily/weekly habit.
—I understand that weed can be a medical plant so although I still dont support it even then, I won't speak on it regarding that situation. But i absolutely dont support it for recreational use and its a dealbreaker if someone I like uses it.
—I find sex outside of marriage to be overrated and would’ve much rather waited. I think its okay to make mistakes every now and again but to keep repeating them is when I’d start to hate apart of myself.
—I struggle with honoring thy mother and father because I try to respect them but they only see respect as giving them money and attention when they get ready.

I just do my best to be a good person. That's honestly about it. I don't know if praying would do anything more instead of reaching out and giving them a hand instead. I don't go to the church. I don't think we need a bible to know we shouldn't be a dick to others

[Guy13]

If following Biblical Ethics submissively, which are countercultural, then one is good. Glorify God in all things, therefore, adhering to tough Verses like 1 Corinthians 6:9-11;18-20, 1John 4:19, and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 occurs. The attitudes and actions that are and are not ethical is subject to God’s reproofing. It’s not just following the rules…it’s the rules molding the Christian as the Word works through him/her individually.

[CubaPirate]

I'm a Christian but not really a regular practicing church goer. So I'm more led by my own moralities.

[Agape93]

Which are what

[CubaPirate]

Caring honest and helpful to everyone

[Gwenhwyfar]

No orgies, no casual sex when I’m in a relationship (or maybe even when I’m not), no human or animal sacrifice

[Anpu23]

As long as your not hurting anyone, do what you want.

[TyLeeAndPink]

I second this.

[Brandi555]

Not sure what that means.

[Agape93]

For example. Let's say you're protestant Christian and thus your religion wants you to try and convert people. But if your moral code says not to discuss religion when someone is depressed, that is an ethical constraint.

[Brandi555]

Oh. Thanks.

[Agape93]

Anytime

[worldscolide]

Harm no one.. That is my ethical constraint..
