Interesting responses. What you've failed at in comprehension and lacked in willingness to reason, you made up for in snide condescension. Seems to have put a damper on what could have been genuine and considerate discourse though. That being the case, this should probably be a good spot to end. A good ending helps, and it did help a bit the way you deferred to a scholarly text at the end, but then again I am perfectly capable of finding religious text all on my own. Which one of us do you suppose would benefit most by taking the guidance of that text to heart? No need to reply, just give it some thought.

Have Peace,
less_

<So Humans are somehow exempt from nature? How did that happen?>

Not to be argumentative, but that doesn't follow.

<Humans seem to naturally do a lot of things that are considered evil.>

You'd have to elaborate there. Your version of "evil" was asked about earlier with no real discourse.

< I'm not so much asking what you don't have a problem with as I'm asking what YOUR solution to the problem is? >

As noted in the previous posts, you havent enunciated any problem, just alluded to such.

<You're running in circles.>

Actually you have a rope around the horse such that you only allow circular discourse. This is true in virtually every topic I've seen you discuss.

<Man's chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him forever.">>

That's the smartest thing you've posted since I've seen you post on SI. Welcome to the new testament!

Interestingly I think if you'd actually held a proper dialoge with less_ you would have found that the above is probably equated to her post about "natural state" (shouldnt speak for her, just have a sneaking suspicion)...

Further, on my own behalf I'll pass on that when following this advice (which is THE SAME as Jesus GREATEST teaching, as pointed out numberous times before) one automatically would behave in accordance with "God's wishes".

When one ponders this, it's pretty obvious.
