2 | Does one bad apple spoil the bunch? | 1 Cor 5:6 | Tara1 | 114042 | ||
Hi Moby Dick, The Bible illustration found at 1 Cor 5:6 that a little leaven or yeast of badness will spoil the whole loaf or congregation is a true one and fits your "worldly saying" just as one bad apple in a basket, if not removed, will spoil all the apples in the basket. This requires that the congregation of God be kept clean from moral and spiritual uncleaness. Following are some more Biblical examples of where bad individuals brought congregational responsibility or accountability threatening punishment upon the entire group when the guilty ones were not removed at once. Leviticus 20:1-5; Numbers 16:19-35; Deuteronomy 21:1-9; Joshua 7:1, 11-26. Tara1 |

Thanks for the response.Do you think this verse can only be applied to a congregation? If a novel or a t.v. show has one "steamy" episode does it mean that the entire entity is to be avoided? Or, is this an example of misinterpreting scripture or wrongfuly taking it out of context? | ||||||
4 | out of context? | 1 Cor 5:6 | Tara1 | 114229 | ||
The principle of the illustration tells us "no", it's true in other matters as well. That is the nice thing about "Bible principles". And "yes", the principle very well can apply to movies. That's the point of it all. Just "a little" or just "one scene" can ruin the whole show. :-) |
