That's a Spiritually Transmitted Disease (or deception if you

STD's lurk beneath your True Self (Jesus in you), in the flesh,
and may go unnoticed. Even though you are saved by God's grace you may
be a "carrier" and spreading STDs to others. Some of the
signs that you may be a carrier are:
You "should" everybody
You demand perfection of yourself and others
You want grace, but you won't forgive others - from the
heart
You're in denial about your sin and your desparateness for a Savior
- you leave a wake of hurt behind you for others
to deal with
You believe a political party or some world system, if just
implemeted right, could bring about peace in the world Matt
10:34-38
You get angry with the pastor and talk about it with others
that he doesn't "preach the hard stuff"
When "the hard stuff" is preached, you're thinking
about someone who needs to hear it
You could possibly lay your life down for Christ - but to
be
humiliated is too much to ask - no one should be a doormat
You believe that homosexuals who have contracted AIDs are
"getting what they deserve" - God is less tolerant
of their sin and weaknesses than yours
You believe it's your duty as a Christian to make others
"get it" - to make them see the
scripture the way you see it
You believe that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
are our God-given rights
You believe the purpose of marriage is to make each other
happy
You're focused on getting what
you "deserve" in this life
