I watched that show,....once. They all seemed a little off and the wife seemed a few watts short of a dim lightbulb. Can always tell by the affect and the eyes. But heck free to live you life as you want, kiss or no kiss. But one thing Duggars, one think you got to get...you cannot buy favor with God with strict adherence to doctrines and modalities of living. You cannot behave yourself holy. it’s what was done for you already not what you can do. So being super pious, ultra moral and using the words shucks and darn gets you no further in front of the line than a prostitute or penitent murderer or rapist. I know that irks some of you, but kinda the whole point of Christianity.
“you cannot buy favor with God with strict adherence to doctrines and modalities of living. You cannot behave yourself holy.”
You make good points. Every one of us humans are rotten and deserve death. Only by accepting Christs immense sacrifice do we dodge going to hell.
Not kissing or holding hands doesn’t make us anymore holy or deserving of heaven than anyone one else.
But choosing to be moral is a good thing
Well, there's this "Christianity" that everyone argues about, and then there's Jesus saying very plainly that "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments the whole law hangs, and the prophets."
So I figure I'll just do what Jesus said, very directly, to do, and let the Christians fight out their gen-u-ine certifications among themselves.
I’ve watched it once or twice myself and I agree that the family is ‘off’. Michelle always sounds like a Kindergarten teacher. It’s like the viewers are made up of five and six year olds.
