Saturday Special January 21th, 2012 - MZ Explosive Discussion on Newt Gingrich, Open Relationships & Adultery, Right, Wrong or Something In-between?

Hello Michael,

Yes, that would be fine. As we all contemplate what sin is and does in our lives, many examples exist around us daily showing what sin does in the lives of others, some quite notorious in the news. There is not a week that goes by that we do not read about someone taking a gun or knife and killing a bunch or people. White collar crime, gang violence and crime, drug peddling, the list can go on for a good long while and it still comes down to sins against humanity. Sin repeated by a person and it no longer has the stain it once imparted on the conscience. A man cheats on his wife once, justifies it for whatever reason and feels bad a little. Does it again, and feels less bad. On and On. A reprobate used to be the worst man in town, someone that people would cross the street to avoid. Now, the word is hardly used, not because such people don't exist, but the sins that cause reprobate behavior are so amply practiced that such people don't stand out any longer. In fact, they form affinity groups which attempts to validate their sin. Very sad, for us as a civilization and for our relationship with God who loves us but grieves at the sin we allow to spoil His creation.

Best regards,

Nick

OK Nick, I've gotten over my stomach-turning tendencies when I read your words, mainly because you make SOME, albeit minuscule, degree of sense.

Alright, a lot of sense, dammit. I respect your thoughts but do not fully agree with them, obviously. And yes I always HAVE subscribed to the Ten Commandments.

What I would like to do now, with your permission, is to publish your words and my words as a thread, perhaps to continue, on some appropriate yet-to-be-set-up section of KSCO.COM, maybe call it "MZ And Friends' Blogosphere" or some-such...

Would this be ok with you?

Best,

MZ

Mr. Zwerling,

You are the owner of a commercial radio station. Whether that makes you a "trustee" or not I do not know. You are also a man, God's creation whom He has established benchmarks for behavior. Yes God in His infinite power to do so loves you, even me. I am not holier than you or anyone else, but I do know for a certainty that He created us and gave us certain rules to live by. Neither you nor any other "trustee" can change those however hard you may try to do so. While God does love us, he has also created a heaven and a hell. Those who choose to cast off his Commandments do so at their peril as He does not want anyone to perish.

I believe in moral absolutes. I do not establish the benchmarks and neither do your listeners or you. A Holy God does that and it is incumbent upon us who know that He exists to obey them to the best of our ability. We fall and get up many times. He forgives us for those things. We deliberately sin against Him and repent and He forgives us again and again. However the Old and New Testament talks about reaching a point in our un-repented sin that God gives us up to a reprobate mind and at that point, our conscience toward sin is seared. It then becomes harder to turn from our sin because our conscience no longer makes us aware of the gravity of our sin. This is terrible place to be, Michael. When we can no longer repent of our sin, as we do not see our activity as sinful (as the adulterous open marriage participants). At that point, our souls are prone to hell when we die as their is no forgiveness without repentance.

I implore you Michael. If you love God, follow His Commandments. God tells us to not commit adultery. That would seem to end the discussion, except for the reprobate mind.

Mr. Peros,

Thank you for being disappointed in me as a man.

Clearly I have offended you by daring to even discuss this topic on KSCO.

I am proud to be the trustee of an independent, commercial radio station that is truly a voice for everyone, EVEN YOU, even though your arrogant, holier than thou attitude turns my stomach.

Hence, YOU being disappointed in ME as a man I consider a badge of honor.

I am quite secure that God loves me and I love God, and that He loves all of his children, even those whom you would consider deviant.

May God help YOU see the truth.

Dear Mr. Zwerling,

Justification of adultery or sexual activity outside of marriage is an attempt to justify sin under God. You commented today, with apparent wonder, that most of your callers were from out of the area. You are naive to believe they listened on the internet by happenstance and stumbled upon your program. Surely, you must know your guests and their supporters packed the call boards to advocate their lifestyle that can only be called sinful and immoral.

While a talk show station can be inclined to bias, credibility and value can only be had with establishment of what we might call "character" and "integrity". You have lost some of that today with your seemingly rousing program that advocated adultery as a way of life. Call it by any other term you wish, so called open marriage is simply justification for a Godless and sinful life that serves to satisfy the passions at the expense of the very basis for our character. It is sad you choose the opportunity to exploit the exposition of a politician with bad character to advance such moral filth on your station.

I am disappointed in you as a man. Males and females who would use multiple associations to satisfy and validate deviant behavior are not men or women, but childish cowards who use adulterous adventure as a means of satisfying their own sinful lusts. In doing so, they have also rejected God in their lives.

Whether you as a man of Jewish faith choose to accept the 10 Commandments as truth is your choice, but one certainly that will have meaning in eternity forever for your soul. May God help you see the truth.

MZ Thanks for having this wonderful radio show I was glad to be a part of it. I cannot wait till the next one!
@ Nick
1st "sexual activity outside of marriage"--When conducted as responsible non-monogamy is not outside the marriage. it involves full consent and knowledge of all persons affected by it. Married or not. There fore bringing another person into the relationship fold that the spouse agrees with is no longer "Outside the marriage." It is a part of the marriage because all partners are aware and included in the decision.
Second
Who made you judge and jury of man on earth last I checked the good book says " Judge ye not for ye shall be judged". So who are you to tell me that my relationship choices are immoral acts against God.
3rd We are not childish cowards but rather emotionally evolved beyond the possessive stereotypes of modern social rites and rituals.

Im not trying to change your mind or structure only educate you about mine.
