Yes, I see your point, but people with depraved natures are also drawn to:<br>1. Cars, so let us do away with motor vehicles because they may steal them.<br>2. Misusing Gasoline, so let us do away with it.<br>3. Gang colors, Bandannas, and leather jackets, so let us do away with clothing.<br>4. Cussing, so let us do away with all human language.<br>5. Abuse of the body, so let us do away with it as well.<br><br>Bingo! You hit it on the head. You took the argument against drugs, casinos, etc. to its logical conclusion.<br>So, I will ask again. Why are drugs and casinos illegal? Why is prostitution illegal? <br><br>Well li0scc0 I guess God's Word must be wrong then. No one needs to be saved. After all, our problem is not in ourselves it is with the THINGS (guns, gambling, drugs) that TEMPT us. TEMPTATION is the root of our sin and not the human nature itself?<br>That is the liberal argument perfectly stated! Thus, why are those of us who are Christians (people who understand that the issue is with the depraved nature not the temptation itself), against the legalization of prostitution, drugs, etc? If they understand it is the NATURE that must be changed, not the superficial removal of the temptation, then what is the concern? <br><br>We can argue pragmatically with statistics showing that once casinos go up in an area crime increases greatly, child abondonment cases go through the roof, divorce rates skyrocket, etc. And those of us in favor of guns can argue that when concealed weapons laws are passed certain crimes decrease. But statistics aren't right or wrong, are they? <br><br>Steve<br><br>

Grace is not common.
