Even Jesus said to worry about the speck in your own eye first.
I can't speak for Renda, but I do know this. It's not that I don't care about other people, and if sincerely asked, I am always willing to share my opinion. But when it comes to determining personal preferences, convictions, etiquette and the like, I think it is between the individual and God. And I think that we, the people, need to let them work it out together.

Michlow, even heathens have a leader and follow rules. If not they are killed or become outcast.
To say all it does is edge out the HG is wrong. From the beginning God set men in place to be our leaders. They help direct us. You have to chose.
I would suppose you are ok with doing what ever you please, say going 75 mph in a school zone when the speed limit is 30 mph. The local government says you're wrong. It's not a heaven or hell issue. It's the law.
Wearing PJ's out in the public is a common sense issue. Yet some folks have no common sense. True, Maybe they have not been taught. But someone needs to start caring and try to reach them.

But what we do affects others as believers we are not to let our good names be evil spoken of.
Somethings may not be sinful or will send you to hell but they might not be in our best interest,our in the best interest of being an ambassador of Christ.
