Limits
I guess the only limits that are allowed anymore in the christian world are limits against...limits.
MySpace delcares the inner souls of our young people, their hidden treasures. I remember God cursing a well-liked king's rule when he did this.
Tolerance and balance are adored, and limits are, well, attacked. People who make changes in the name of strength and dedication are ridiculed. Men who don't accept being forced into a corner of a certain organization are reviled.
Any limits that you especially like?

Re: Limits
BTW,
This question of limits can also stretch to communications.
Are replies to emails God-given rights? Is inclusion in a group for the sake of conversation and thought provoking whining merit membership? Wow, somebody call the wha-mbulance.

Re: Limits
Generally speaking the christian world, the entire world for that matter is against one's personal subjective limits being imposed on the masses....

I couldn't understand what he was saying either! 
But I think it may be something about this postmodern generation.

And who is imposing personal subjective limits on the masses??? I haven't been to a church that was locked on the outside. Except the kooks in Texas.
I for once agree with you. Generally speaking the christian world, and the entire world for that matter is against even Christ's limits.

Praxie, please don't try to make something stick with a little question like that. Cruising the myspace pages?? Who does that (and this is a direct question, I don't know what kind of person cruises myspace pages, maybe you can enlighten me)?
I was giving anyone who cared the chance to post a limit that they endorse. Apparently I was right. Who would have guessed? No one here is in favor of any limit of any kind. EXCEPT for accepting conservative preaching. THAT must have its limits, right?

Is this about standards?
