Foolish are those professed Christians who would serve God and Christ and who would at the same time be friends of the world!

To try to mix the two is like trying to mix oil with water.

It just cannot be done! Why not? Because, as the apostle John tells us, “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.”—1 John 5:19.

Goodlife, the 'apostle John' was lying. A thoroughly nasty philosophy.

My parents were like that. All their friends and social activities were church related. Suffice to say, it sucked growing up!

Well part of the reason is probably that it is chock full of contradictions.

Isn't the OP just spam? It certainly isn't a question.
Should be reported.

Goodlife never asks questions - at least not ones he wants answers to. His sole purpose here is to preach.

Why do you have so little understanding of your fellow human beings? Blinkered or what? Some of the nastiest people I have ever met profess to have a very strong religious belief ... they use it to justify their dreadful behaviour towards others. I feel sad for you.

Question Author
All Scripture is inspired of God, says the Bible. (2 Timothy 3:16) Yes, God is the Bible’s Author. Does he want us to understand his Word? Or did he deliberately make the Bible unfathomable to all but a privileged few, such as clergymen and Bible scholars?

You know, Goodlife, the more I see of the world the more I'm inclined to agree with you and John. The whole world is in a terrible state of chassis

Really sandyRoe? Do you really think it's foolish to be friends with the world?

A slave can leave without any payment or penalty? Surely, that way anarchy lies.

No. Not really, Naomi. I'm just engaging my keyboard without putting the brain in gear first.
