This is my fourth year I'm finishing- still got one left. Prolly just retake this class at somepoint.

There are many. I'm a college student... next year's my last year of classes (in theory). Last semester I got a D, a W, a C, and a B. This semester, I'm looking at an F in one of my classes. Research methods of psychology. I've had Christian friends tell me to keep at it... to not stop and...

Of what use is my experience with this if I do not share it? God brought me through it. All glory goes to Him.

Many of you know me, perhaps, from the theology and society forums... and a few times I have referenced having dealt with homosexuality. I would like to share my story with you so that you may be inspired. It is about two days in the making, and it is a bit long. I think it might be worth your...

You'll always be my sock, though with the training this one will be used less. :P

Funny, I could have sworn I edited this last week to contain my response. Guess not. Defining down coveting isn't going to win you any points or credibility. Posting a bunch of commentaries does not change what coveting is. You're more than welcome to believe them, but I should think you could...

I'm not baiting you. I've made that quite clear. I want to hear YOUR opinion. Good grief, are you that cynical that you can't have someone interested to hear a critical analysis? You did copy paste, and that was my point: it was not original material. I didn't ask what the Bible had to say...

Oh? Do explain.

...which is involved in masturbation. Many people role play during sex, so I doubt this is much different...

Er... might they have been having... er... other problems of a physical nature?

Pray tell, what is this difference? Problem: David actually carried out the act, and not only carried it out, but tried to cover it up. David had intent, not simple fantasy. That's not simple fantasy. That's intent. You're blurring the line between the two. Can, if it goes further than mere...

Words have very specific meanings, I'm not going to just assume you're using a broader meaning than normal. No, because you're still focusing on specific acts, not the principle behind any moral laws in the Bible.

Isn't the entire point of a fantasy that you're not going to actually do it? That is, it's fictional? If it's fictional, why is it wrong? Would me playing Star Wars video games that fictionally kill people be wrong too? How about when I read a fictional book and imagine one character slicing off...

Did you bother reading what I quoted when I asked that? I didn't get what I asked for. I was talking to you, not the scholars who wrote what you posted. Why would I ask YOU what lust is if I want a bunch of lexicon material? Why not just ask 'what do the lexicons say' or 'what is the biblical...

Hissy fit? I don't get involved in those, I have very specific boundaries for what I respond to.

[/COLOR] No kidding. How do you know I haven't been to Bible college, or studied Greek, or been mentored by men much older than myself with a background in such things? You don't. So, rather than questioning someone's opinion, why don't you answer my question so we can continue with logical...

[/COLOR] This is CHRISTIAN philosophy and ethics. Should I need to? No, not really. If I wanted a copy/paste post, I would have specifically asked for it: what do commentators take from Matthe 5's definition of lust? I want to know how you think you're using the word. The fact that you...

He is merely copying and pasting, anyone can do that, and what the biblical term actually is differs with how he has used it.

No, your copy paste ruitine wasn't helpful at all. I want to know what YOU think it means, not what a bunch of commentaries say. I can copy paste too, and I'd be willing to bet that my copy paste and subsequent explanation would refute how you use it in the post I asked you about. So, let me...

Yes, but this does not mean, then, that the action is what is wrong, but what motivates the action. Todd, you're just not getting it. There is another option. Actions are not what are good, evil, or neutral, it is the motivation and thoughts behind them. The principle, rather than the law, if...
