Questions for conservative Christians

[Silverback]

I'm curious why you want us to answer these questions. Rather than give specific answers to each question, my church (Lutheran) would call most of this "adiaphora", which means these are matters of personal conviction that have no bearing on justification (your salvation), and probably not on sanctification either (being made holy to serve God).

While there's nothing wrong with adhering to any of this, placing too much emphasis on it leads to pietistic tendencies, thinking you are better than others because you adhere to some arbitrary religious code.

You are correct, all they will do is enslave themselves to the law.

I am curious about conservative Christians, so I have a few questions...

Do you keep the Sabbath?

What do you think justifies divorce?

What are your standards of dress for public modesty?

Should the sexes be mixed or separated in religious service?

Do you have television in your home?

Would you send your children to public school?

I am not Christian but I will answer my own questions. I keep the Sabbath. Only adultery or failure of husband to provide justifies divorce. Clothes should be loose fitting from collarbone to knees (at least). The sexes should be separated in religious service. I do not have television. I homeschooled my kids.

1. Yes, I keep Sabbath. I am a Seventh Day Adventist Christian
2. Breaking the marriage covenant (see Ephesians 5)
3. I dress for the weather. I'm old and fat and in no way, shape or form would entice the opposite gender
4. I believe families should worship together in service
5. yes, I have television (no cable service), internet service, streaming services.
6. my kids went to public schools, sort of. They all dropped out by 10th grade. The religious schools where we lived were nothing more than country clubs and the kids who didn't have parents who donated to the school were treated like rubbish.

I teach in a public charter school.

Muslims tell me the same thing. I have considered both Christianity and Islam. I have read the New Testament and the Quran. I have attended (Greek Orthodox) church and mosque. And after this consideration, I feel that the Old Testament is the best fit for me.

The question is not, what is the best fit. The question is, what is True. You are incorrect when you say that there is no objective way to decide.
A religion that is fit to you, is useless. The whole point of true religion is to change you.
