Christian Conundrums-Prologue

"The Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living...Man"
--Demeti Martin paraphrasing Socrates

 

Every faith has questions; Christianity is full of conundrums.  My goal in this series “Christian Conundrums” is not to answer any of them.  I am not a professor of theology; I am a layman student at best. 

 

Rather my goal is to get you to wrestle with these questions yourself.  I want you to seek out answers to these questions.  You have a variety of resources right at your fingertips; BibleGateway is a great place to start. 

 

I warn you that these questions may cause you to become angry, sad, confused, etc…; this is not my intent.  My hope is that you will become contemplative, introspective, and inquisitive. 

 

My first question will deal with the doctrine of original sin and the elusive “Age of Accountability”.    I invite you to step up to the podium and join the debate.

Porn Prologue

I am of the opinion that one of the true rubrics of a culture is how they chose to entertain themselves. Pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry that continues to thrive each and every year.

My next few posts will concentrate on this industry and its effects on both society and the individual. I will attempt to offer both secular and Christian reasons as to why this material is dangerous to the mental health and overall sexual well being of the consumer. Also I will offer up some current perspectives from those who were in or are still in the industry. As always for those who are looking for assistance in abolishing this addiction in their own lives, I will present you with sources that can help you.

Although I in no way intended to offend the good senses of my readers, this is a topic I feel very strongly about and I will be explicit in some of my posts, especially when offering up prospective of those in the industry. If this sort of conversation does offend your good senses, then by all means don't read it. I will post the words "EXPLICT" and "END EXPLICT" respectively if you wish to skip these sections
