I wasn't speaking to acceptability, my reference was to what would be the
standard of judgement. It says that those who are not under the law (of Moses)
will be judged without the law. They will be condemned all the same because
without a way of removing, completely, the stain of sin one cannot enter
heaven. The first sentence of my statement above is that God doesn't twist
anyone's arm - if they want believe in him, they may; if not, that's fine, yet
they will be held accountable - just not to the law of Moses.
You honestly haven't lied, cheated or stolen? Ever? Wow. :)

| (...) I didn't say that I hadn't, although I've come close. I've certainly never intentionally cheated or stole from anyone, but lying is a bit grey... is exaggerating for effect when you're joshing around with someone lying? Technically yes. (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
