Oh well. I'm not sure what you need to hope for that can be lost to you but, as I said before....read here and you'll discover that we all don't need what you appear to need.
Are you trying to get me to take back this statement or try and counter you?

I need to feel God almost on a daily basis to hold on to my standards and what I believe his standards to be . This is true Christianity.
Developing a love and a relationship.

Kind of like a marriage
Without love you will not remain true , the threats of divorce and the fact that you made vows will not keep me from another woman . But love for my wife will .
This rule can be compromised by a history of immorality because iddictions are real even if your in love but this is where Jesus steps in if we let him and he can break our chains.

Neither.


As to the rest of your post,if that's what it takes for you to live up to your standards, so be it, but must I repeat?
" we all don't need what you appear to need."

U don't need love in your marriage?
To hold up to the standards of marriage you do need love. So if we can't find love to make it work we can lower our marriage standards or just eliminate marriage vows altogether . Then we can make it work.
That is your entire drive , you want to eliminate conduct and standard and moral.

Do you misunderstand on purpose or is it an innate ability?
I don't need a book or rules from some made up god to guide me in proper behavior.


And as far as how well your guide to good behavior is working for you.............

That is so far out of line that another thing I just realized I don't need is to read or respond to you anymore.

Judgement is up to GOD . But he commands me too use discernment in all situations I encounter.
How he will deal with mindsets such as yours is not my place to speculate.
Observing an individual and acknowledgeing a line he has crossed and stating that I will not cross that line is not judgment .

This is correct because it applies to what YOU will or will not do. But when you try to judge OTHERS by what they will or will not do . . . you are adopting the role of God. That is a dangerous place to be. When you change how you treat them because of it . . . you are trying to coerce or enforce your view of God's standards on them. That is counterproductive because what God wants from us has to be VOLUNTARY. Anything you do to interfere with that voluntarism is against God's wishes.
