Default RE: church and hunting

As always its the same story. Its not about being gay, overeating, adultery, lying, etc. Its about ones heart. God desires your heart. As Matthew 22:37-40 says

Jesus said to him, you shall love your God with all your heart, soul and mind, this is the first and greatcommandment, the second is like it, you are to love your nieghbor as yourself. On these two commandments, hang all the law and the prophrets.

What I hear Jesus Christ saying is, salvation is only about ones heart. If one truely believes in the name of Jesus Christ, he will desire to follow his commands. He will desire moderation in all things. He will desire sexual purity. He will desire to love his neighbor as himself. Now, have I arrived?? No way. Do I try everyday? You bet ya. Do I fail everyday? You bet ya. But I believe in the blood of Jesus Christ to cover my sins.

I struggle with lust for women. I pray about it, and sometimes I suceed and sometimes I fail.Some times I end up talking to a womens chest more than her face. But I desire to put away that sexual immorality. And pray about it everyday.

People try to put "sin" value on sin. It can't be done. As it says in Matthew, calling one a fool could be an offense that will send you to hell. Its only about one's heart. Jesus Christ our God either has our heart or he doesn't. We do not live under the law unless we are Jew, and the law put value on certain sins. With Christ, its about faith only. If we lived under the law, we better start sacraficing a few thousand bulls. And guess what, we don't get to participate in the eating of those ribeyes either.
