It's not a sin for women to wear bikinis and having fun at the beach. That's what beach resorts are there for, for people to let their hair down, kick up their heels and have fun. If that's a sin, then they should ban beach resorts.
you are talking about legalism in the religious community.
what you are saying about the things that are happening within the church are true and is happening today.
in fact, i would even agree with you that their actions are not the actions Jesus would do.
but if you are questioning the religion and faith just because men/people who run it today failed to act accordingly, then that is another story.puro ra ba jud diay bati ang nahitabo sa simbahan bears?
are you suggesting that only people who havent sinned are worthy to be in a congregation/church?
if that's the case no one alive today would be worthy then.
are you saying that only people who never sinned can come to God,
then what hope is their for prostitutes,murderes,all the people who did bad things if one day they would want to do good?
and besides, who hasn't sinned?
Jesus did not even condemn the woman who was caught in the act committing adultery
He said to the people trying to stone her, whoever has not sinned may cast the first stone.
He said i do not condemn you told the woman go and sin no more..it's the type of absolution everyone is after..
whenever we fail, we would always to have another shot.to undo things..to relive life
you however my friend, have already placed such judgement on your brethren, haven't you sinned?
kung ang mga tao sa simbahan mag binuang ug mag inamaw,mag abusar...ug unsa panang mga kabuang gibuhat nila diha...
problema na nila kay silay manubag sa Ginoo..kung makalusot man gani cla sa tawhanon nga hustisya..dili na cla ka ikyas sa kinatas-ang hustisya.
kung maka kita ta ug tao nga makasasala sa una,pero iyang gipakita nga nagbag.o siya.
pero aton syang hukman nga di tinuod iyang pagbasol kay tungod sa iyang sala nga nabuhat.
then kita maoy manubag sa Ginoo ana...
how woud you feel, nga naa kay dakong sayop nga mabuhat unya mangayo kag
chance di najud ka tagaan maski pag kina tinuoray najud nimung pagbasol??
maliipay ka?that's how the world works...
but things with God somehow works differently..a sinner will be forgiven as long as he truly repents...
that's what the church is trying to imitate..
even in our church bears,naay tulisan,maniac,adik,nakapatay ug tao nga mga members...
but because they felt the love of Christ through the acceptance of the church...
karun, naka human nag skwela, nag tarong nas kinabuhi..naa nay tarong trabaho...
had we judged them and turned our backs on them? basin patay na ug ninggrabe na tong ilang kabuang...
how do i know this? 'cause i was one of them.
i too am not worthy to be loved for what i 've done..but God did so, people did so...
so then i was changed.
