On what do i base my ideas on?

I had an interesting revelation today.

I was driving back from church. And was just musing over why we would want to repeal 377a. However something struck me.

I feel that we should repeal the law because the law intruded on the rights of two consenting adults. Then i felt God say, when then do we not legalise pornography?

Participants in pornography are all consenting. Viewers are certainly consenting, performers are assumed to be consenting (i am talking about obviously the normal kind, the ones where the actors are presumably legal, consenting). Why then do we ban it?

And then it struck me, my thoughts are based on what i feel is right or wrong. And i justify my stand using arguments. I believed that the law should not intrude on people's lives, so i justified my stand on 377a on the feeling that it is right not to keep the law.

But I am a christian, with easy and ready access to the bible, with the training to understand the word of God. If i believe in God, if i love God, i have the responsibility to base my life, my ideas, my stands, my beliefs in who God is, and what He has said. I have the word of God; i cannot continue to base my actions on what i feel is right or what i feel is what God wants. I have to base my thoughts and my life on who God is. I have to submit fully to the call of God.
