White, black or grey?

Well, this is a response to Ethan’s post… ( His blog is at my links under Ethan )
Well, anyway, as I read his post, I found it to be interesting and challenging…
And I found his points strong and convincing…
But in ,my heart, I realize that not all people will fit into his statement…
Like me, for example…
But the thing is I have to back up my statement…
So anyway,
This is a question…
For example, you are a dranix rider…
Fighting an evil warlord and ruler of the land you live in…
You know what you’re doing is right but why is it right?
Can you answer me?
If you fight many people will lose their lives in open war…
So why are you opposing him?
Question yourself and put yourself in that aspect..
Well, Ethan, yes I agree that some people may just have a spiritual high when going to camps like TeenStreet…
But in objection, you are referring to a general community, not each individual like myself…
Some people may just get ‘high’ at the camp and forget everything when they get home, but what about others?
Some may really have a conviction and be touched by Jesus…
Then their lives will show a change…
It really matters on an individual…
Take these two scenarios…
One dude goes to camp, gets excited, comes home and gets back to an old routine…
Then this second dude, goes to camp, gets high and goes back home…
But what people notice in the latter is that he has changed for the better…
He is nicer, or more caring or thoughtful about others…
So this scenarios differ according to individuals if u get my meaning…
We have to view them from the many angles in a mirror…
But then again, sometimes the view from all angles maybe the same…
If someone well off and perfectly fine goes ahead and steals something for the kick of it…
Then he is in the wrong…
But most of the time, everything has a shade of grey and is never black or white…
So we have to be careful in judging and deciding things…
Its never easy but with God’s moral compass it is possible..
So I understand that Ethan’s views are correct at a certain point…
But not to the whole community…
That’s my point…
Please comment about this issue…
