You know that brings up another possible no no. Using the internet could be seen as the "appearance of evil". There is so much trash on the internet: porn, instructions for all kinds of evil things, gambling and an endless supply of places to shop! How does your neighbor know if you're just using it to chat on the BB or surfing for porn? Best to just give it up.
Modern worship in church = apostasy?

I use it as one of my TOP TWENTY most misunderstood &/or
misquoted Bible verses:
-----------------------------------------
1 Thessalonians 5:22 (HCSB):
Stay away from every form of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:22 (KJV1769 with Strong's #):
1Th 5:22 Abstain567 from575 all3956
appearance1491 of evil.4190
G1491
εἶδος
eidos
i'-dos
From G1492; a view, that is, form (literally
or figuratively): - appearance, fashion, shape, sight.
note, not "looks like" -
Sorry Ed :eek:

I think its a little silly using this "list" of things that some thing are wrong things to do... in order to try to make the idea of thinking that this type of music is wrong seem ridiculous... people could just as easily do the same thing if there was something you thought was a wrong thing to do.
It means nothing. Hardly worthy of adding into a debate. -

Matthew 7:3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, Let me remove the speck from your eye; and look, a plank is in your own eye.
5 Hypocrite! First remove the speck from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
John 7:24 do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart". -
Amen, Sister Amy.G -- You are so RIGHT ON. ! :thumbs:

Amy,
why is it you would see someone who has a differeing point of view as you are JUDGING someone? arent you the one doing that? -
sometimes I feel like people try to intimidate others into submitting to their point of view instead of merely stating their position on a topic and leaving it at that.
show me where I ever in one sentence JUDGED someone on this thread? -
-
well Amy, seriously, the entire Bible is about whether or not you are going to be saved and so just about each topic is going to be discussing whether or not doing this or that is going to hinder your salvation. That doesnt mean someone is judging you personally.
heck I may as well just agree with all the opening statements to be on the safe side... -

It is against the BB rules to question another poster's salvation. If/when that happens - hit the "report post" button and report it. It's the little yellow triangle at the top corner of each post.
