Who Do You Answer To? (moral, Earth, hell, church)

[Lightkeeper]

Do you answer to God? Or, do you just float free and answer to noone? Should we answer to anyone or anything?

If GOD is inquiring something of me I will respond. Though GOD has many admirable qualities I do not follow GOD. GOD has His own agenda, I have mine.

I think that the laws of any given country or state are something that one has to eventually answer to if someone ever finds themselves in a situation like that.

I answer to God and to my conscience. Ideally, they are the same.

We ALWAYS answer to something, whether we admit it or no. If we refuse to answer to our conscience or to the laws of men, then we answer to our own base instincts and urges. Just doing whatever the hell we feel like all the time is not freedom; it is slavery to our desires. Only by self-discipline are we truly free to exersize our will.

I answer to my self, my wife, my father and mother, my Church leaders, and my God...... not in that order ( wife comes first! hehehe)

I generally answer to my own perception of morality and propriety. I conform to formal, human laws when I judge them practical, but in no way feel bound by them and would transgress without hesitation if they conflicted with my personal sense of right and wrong.

By definition, I suppose this makes me an anarchist.

I only answer to God if the reason I have to answer for something involves Him...and ususlly everything in life is not only something done wrong to another,self or whatever, God is in all I do so if I do need to answer for something it's first to God then down the line accordingly. I don't know if everyone should feel the need to answer to anyone or not I think that all comes down to the individual and how they feel about things.

I agree with Paul; Ro 14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own Master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Master is able to make him stand.

And then, we all stand ; Re.20:11 ¶ Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

Heb 10:31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Ps 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

I listen to Erene. I do, too.

Everyone, without exception, answers to the law - from the law of the locality and the state to the law of the nation and wherever law has jusisdiction outside those places.
