Hey Pilgrim,

We can probably go on and on...

I essentailly agree with you about having a list of do's and don'ts and acutally legislating...

however, I think many of these wordly distractions are demonic diversions that lead us away from God. And I think warnings are in order (it sounds that you may agree on these points)

Some may view you as a legalist when it comes to music.

And don't get me wrong - I enegage in trivial pursuits and I don't think they are necessarily a gauge of my standing before God - ususally my conscience will speak to me that my time can be better spent or that my participation in a certain activity is God dishonoring.

I don't think this discussion relates to salvation, it relates to surrounding ourselves with the means of grace and fleaing from worldy endeavors that will lead us away from Him (and/or are dishonoring to Him).

The mercy of God is necessary not only when a person repents, but even to lead him to repent, Augustine
