Never being one to deny my own integrity,
(while not bringing offense to another's), I'll put it this way.
God put me here to serve Him. That is made clear so many times in His Word. God put me here, not as a result of physical coitious, but by spiritual occupancy of a mortal husk - the choice to follow Him or go astray is left to my self, for free will is a gift from Him to give me responsibility for my own actions.
You've stated your integrity very well, Kooka -...just wanted to exhibit my own!!!

kooka_lives -- we've joked before about how we envision the final judgement
in the past ...All of humanity lined up being processed to get through the pearly gates. With you and I and a few others we know, at the front of the line, with our favourite loonicorn Pastor dead last in line but there is a message more important than our attempts at humour found in this. Without speaking for you I can say that I do not spend a second of my day worrying about what some mythical entity will feel about my life's actions. I do however spend considerable time determining how I will live my life and accepting full responsibility for it. The confidence I hold that my inherent sense of propriety has guided me correctly is absolute. The mythical final judgment now becomes akin to walking into the principles office at the end of semester, knowing that you have aced every exam. Believers will never grasp this, nor will they ever experience and enjoy this absolute confidence. They will never find it if they keep looking for it in a book.
