  • the bible says to be IN this world but not OF this world. as long as what you do is for the glory and the purpose of Christ, then you are not of this world. you are of the greater good!

  • I would rather have a cig smoker with a nose job who realizes they are not perfect working at my church then your typical judgmental, prideful, pharisaical doosh that we typically see running churches these days

  • Cigarettes are addicting because of nicotine. Addiction is a sin. What does this man not understand? It's not difficult whatsoever..

  • theese guys are wussys VVV

  • Jesus was in the world, but not of the world. The difference is who you love and serve, God or money (the material world).

  • We all need a balance I love my worldly friends but I am not about to do what they do, I love my gay family member because God loves the Sinner but hates the Sin, I am not their judge because God tell me not to judge that is between the sinner and God. You can be a good Christian in this World as long as you have a strong foundation you will have no fear of any one or any thing . We Should Never Judge any one.

  • @VindinBinDwinjy Love them, but still practice holieness. is all I am saying...It can be done!

  • @VindinBinDwinjy I agree 100% that we are not to be smug, self-righteous, & arrogant towards the world. But you know what is funny? There are a lot of post modern churches that are smug, self-righteous, & arrogant towards those who do not sport the hipster look, or wear cardigans & v-neck white t-shirts. I think the cure for being smug, self-righteous, & arrogant is found at the foot of the cross and being a jerk can happen in any body of believers.. hipster or not.

  • @irgunlehistern Yes, in this verse Jesus says don't touch unclean things. Also, I understand the be "in" and not "of"". That said, Christians need to be careful not to be off putting to the world in their attempts to not become a part of the world. Too many Christians get a smug, self-righteous arrogance in their efforts to remain apart from the world.

  • @VindinBinDwinjy 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Check out verse 17, "Therefore "Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you." As for the great commission: Jesus' words in John 17:15-17 is clear that we are in the world but not "of the world" we are sanctified, set apart spiritually from it. I preach the gospel just fine... I just make sure that the World isn't in me.. that I remain holy, by the power of God's spirit this is possible.

  • @irgunlehistern Tell me then, how do you plan to fulfill the Great Commission? Seems like you would have a hard time preaching the gospel to all men if you refuse to be around them. ALSO: Show me the verse that says "separate yourselves from the world."
