Re: Muslim marriage general advice...

Dont think chocolate was around then, and I am sure they enjoyed the 'treats' of their day as much as we do. I dont think that God is a killjoy.
Christinity can be (wrongly)protrayed as a religion of rules and regulations, but it isnt. It is a relationship with our Heavenly Dad. A dad who likes to see us enjoy the life that he has given us. If that includes a few sweets then I can see any harm there. No God never mentioned chocolate eggs, just as He never mentioned cars, childrens toys, or presents, or birthday celebrations, or going on holidays, or cakes, or all the other things that we enjoy today.Does this mean we cant enjoy the good things we have?
Sorry I grew up with religion and I had enough of it. I now want live in the freedom that Jesus came to give us. I had far too many "shoulds" and "oughts" at one time, and thats why I dont let these things bother me now. Its the intent of the heart that matters I am sure.
