@kellyjay saidWho is suggesting we "live our lives without a moral set of boundaries"? This is a clumsy strawman, KellyJay. Why can't you converse in good faith?
To live our lives without a moral set of boundaries is destructive, look at the end results of almost any addiction where the focus of one’s life is fixated on satisfying a need.
You simply refusing to acknowledge someone greater than you doesn’t release you from your obligations. It just adds to not following the greatest good, settling for something much less, that is all, in defiance of Him.

-Removed-You really do need to read the Bible dive, I mean study the thing, get in deep
because you don't know you a$$ from a hole in the ground concerning the
gospel. Not a single one of us can come to Jesus except the Father draws us
to Him, our sinful nature likes its sin and doesn't want to come to the light
so that our evil deeds are revealed for what they are. That day is coming when
those who sought God and found Him will be standing before the Lord, and those
that didn't want to meet God will, as they are standing before the Lord still not
wanting to see Him, but will no longer have a choice in the matter, then accounts
will be settled all wrongs made right in Christ or Hell.
If God never called you, if you haven't had an experience with the Lord, what
happen to you that you call yourself a Christian, or are you still trying to find
ways to avoid answering that question?
John 6:44
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
-Removed-Abuse, telling you God must call us before we come, showing scripture that backs
that up and you act like nothing was said, you simply don't understand the simplest
of answers to your questions. So only one-word answers compute to you, if
someone adds another clarifying word of two you are over your head?
I'm not trying to be abusive either, but seriously, you repeat question after
question after getting an answer, and if they are longer than yes, no, you don't
understand?

-Removed-I accept that this is your reductionist and narrow-minded view of the matter, perhaps arrived at by the working of mechanisms and influences and even arbitrary occurrences far beyond your control (although of course I imagine that you will attempt to take some credit for it if not full credit), and that there is nothing to be done and it can't be helped.
