I ended up as a secular humanist. I'm guessing, from the tenor of the questions, that they don't think that's a good thing.0 -

You're right, I should have said "true Church".
I wasn't saying you should have said 'true' church and sincerely hope you aren't describing your own church as the 'true' church.neverdespairgirl wrote: »If it's the 10 commandments in particular that rock your boat, you sound more Jewish than Christian!

The 10 commandments are Old Testament - if they are your fave thang, Judaism might be the way to go.
Christianity does claim to be based on the OT, but that's more in theory than in practice. After all, most Christians happily munch away on pork chops, bacon, crab and other shell fish, mix linen and wool in their clothes, and other offences carrying the death penalty in Leviticus....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

It is very much based on the OT which is why it's includedin the bible and why Jesus is prophesied there.
I'm not getting into a debate about which things aren't relevant any more (it's been done many times), But even Jews don't have the death penalty for the things mentioned.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
