Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Less concerned about spiritual matters? My friend, what I have come to see now is that this old school way was determental to spiritual matters in my life. I have now a deeper desire to walk, not according to man's rules and regulations, not according to the letter of the Law, but according to the Spirit. I am walking now in the understanding of No Condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, of Jesus coming to save, not condemn. It makes me want to walk after God's Word, for sin shall not have dominion over me, for I am no longer under Law, but under grace.
This is where true holiness and the fake religious holiness collide, and one does not survive. One says do and God accepts you. The other says do because God loves you. One says the letter, while the other says the Spirit. One says I have to, while the other says I want to.
I know you are an administrator on this forum, but what you said was very ungodly and lacked the fruit of the Spirit. I detest alcohol, and smoking a 'phat one'? My friend, this is the same spirit that the Pharisees were under when they accused Jesus of being a glutton and a winebibber. I mean, of course I forgive and will not stop loving you, but this was really and truly uncalled for.
