Still under the law, trying to attract other people who want to stay under the law. Why not, it's easier than actually having a relatinionship with Christ, and attracting people by the love you have flowing through you.
This will only make more sons of pharisee's, and I'm not interested in those children of hell (as Jesus called them).
God is love, and obeying rules won't bring them to Christ. There is no place in scripture that says it will.
Love brings people to Christ, their being close to you and seeing you act out of love and true righteousness, not legalism and the poison they are used to hearing about God from the church.
As Christ said, we will be persecuted because of our freedoms, and out of love we often avoid offending men, which is why I don't advertise my using steroids, for their sake, so they don't judge foolishly and sin against God and love. Paul says this is wisdom.
No matter what you do, someone will damn you for doing it. Down south it was wearing a mustache... that was sin. Someone else doesn't like makeup on a woman.
You are meant to love and win those God gives you, not everyone.
Therefore, hear God and do what HE tells you to do. Do not replace this relationship with God with a set of rules you've learned from church, and badly applied scriptures.
There are no rules, only one. LOVE
Hear God, forget trying to figure it all out. You aren't smart enough. Get the answer straight from God.
Example: I won the woman to Christ who sold me my first bag of weed. She got instantly healed of everything wrong with her body (which was considerabley disabled), and now two years later, with the help of god, she is buying and just moved into her first house, and met her own daughter on that black dude's TV talk show. Her heart is soft and tender, and she went from being a witch, to a loving devoted sister in Christ who hears from God daily.
So much for the bullshit about keeping the laws. LOVE is the only thing, and God is the only one who can guide you perfectly. Not man's thinking or poor across the board interpretation and misapplication of scripture.

This is something I wrote for a friend of mine awhile back....
-------------------------------------
I told myself..It's legal in "most" countries of the world (It's Not legal in the one that I reside in.... Romans 13:1-7 ). I'm doing this because it's "healthy" (it's not healthy and it's the cause for most of the health problems that I have... 1 Timothy 4) "I'm doing this because I want to compete" (I did it because I wanted to be bigger and stronger than anyone else, and I was willing to go to any means to achieve it, whatever it took to be Better than someone else..that means I was full of vanity and pride.... PROV 16:18) I could still serve God and do this one little thing for myself and it wouldn't distract me from doing God's work (I was serving myself, and not God, it not only distracted me from serving the Lord, it made me incapable of witnessing to others......I actually want to elaborate on this, If a Man tells you that he doesn't want to hear what you have to say about God, because He knows that you're a steroid user, and that you frequently lie to others EVEN your own family,...That stood as a wake up call! How can I expect anyone to listen to me about them giving up the Sin in their life and coming to Christ, when they know that I am certainly not giving up my own sin, by using illegal drugs, being deceitful, and hiding things from my family and from my church, and from my friends... Luke 6:41-42 ... Ephesians 5:12-13)

It's just something to think about
