You are confusing the law with a relationship with Christ. So in actuality it is the lack of a walk with Christ, I'm not saying it's a complete lack, it is the temporary non Christian action of a Christian that involves a Christian in bad behavior. We screw up and sometimes royally, and we are to return to a better walk with God, this begins with repentance.
So you are deniging your own words?
OK as to try to wriggle OUT of what you have said.
Then please explain just WHY so many Christians™, are behaving badly?
Mind you that's the most conveluted piece of gobbledy gook we have seen for a while G-C...welcome back.
Who says there are a great many Christians misbehaving, I know I do not see Christians raping though I assume it does happen on a rare occasion. Bad sexual desires are what the OP is about and yes I expanded bad behavior beyond that, but not necessarily worse than that. As far as a convoluted statement is concerned, your opinion is yours, you however do not understand what Christianity actually is, even though I've explained it many times in the pass.

Kich Wrote:Could it be that there is no "driving force" and that Christianity ™ is a failed morality system desperately dependent on the empathy of it's adherents?
The driving force is, love of and for Christ, walking in this love continually changes a person for the better, it is a process. Just as a child learns from loving parents, Christians learn from a loving God.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
