You pass all fears of being wrong and responsibility onto something else. That's on you not us.

I don't decide anything, I don't have an opinion on what God deems as sin.

I'm not so scared about the sins I will be caught in, I would be afraid for rejecting God though, but that's just me.

But this would be something that is only known to you and God right? There is no one else on earth that could say with absolute certainty that you or any other mere mortal had rejected God?

And where in Scripture does God command people to use that as the basis for determining whether any particular course of action is in keeping with His will?

The fact is that relativism is counter to Scripture. Nowhere in the Bible is "as long as you feel good about it" appended to the end of any of God's commands.

It is truly, deeply unfortunate that so many, have so erroneously, equated scripture with truth.

That's when a lot of the world took a wrong turn.
