Bible Question:
When the bible says come out from among them and be ye seperate 2Cor 6:17 does that mean we shoulden't listen to worldly music or go to dances such as prom |
Bible Answer: Concerning worldliness which you ask about, consider the following verses Col. 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Whatever leads us further away from Christ and not closer, is of the world and should be avoided. Prayerfully ask for wisdom and direction. |
