Thank you Carla and Jim for attempting to address my question on the show.
It was very revealing.
When I speak of the lusts of the flesh though, I am not just speaking of sexual lust, I am speaking of the many things that tempt us in our physical forms. Anything that gratifies the flesh would be a lust. I do realize however that this was probably not the word I should have used because of its more often negative connotations referring to sexual appetite, which is the way you and Jim had taken it.
I did make a much longer post in an effort to more fully detail the actual point I really wanted to hear you speak to if you are interested in reading that here

I was advised by the mods to shorten it. My concern was that it in short form it might be taken as a criticism of your Christian devotion, and as one can read in its fullness that was most certainly NOT the case. After hearing you speak to the matter on the show Friday evening I think that you are nurtured by the traditions and rituals within the fellowship of such gatherings, and it only serves to heighten your spiritual walk. It is my impression that you stand at that crossroad of the Tarot card where you are at the end of the right hand path, and beginning your new journey onto the left hand.
There was also a previous discussion we had on the show which related to this post #137 on this page.

Also I did mean to say 'ripe with' and not 'rife with', in a deliberate effort to depict the growing or ripening of those many 'opinionated corruptions and manipulations'; although 'rife with' would certainly also accomplish the same intent.
However I thank you anyway for your effort, and Carla, please, put your darn shirt back on. lol I had this vision of you and Jim laying in bed naked, and suffered with that all night. hahahah sorry Jimmy boy.
