EVERYONE is a LAW-BREAKER, but now people do not even want to know what the Bible says.
One thinks it is enough to know that all sin and that Jesus died on the cross for our sin and who cares about more than that. Just continue to live our lives of sin and not go too deep in anything Bible.
True, 2 Corinthians 6:14 says, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" Yet, no one gives importance to a woman being a virgin for her first husband. (Deuteronomy 22:14, 1 Corinthians 7:36, 2 Corinthians 11:2, Revelation 14:4) The church gives no importance to teaching virginity anymore. No one finds it important anymore that girls be a virgin for their first husband. The church does not find it important anymore to teach virginity. Except that Mary the Mother of Jesus is held in special honor and no other value is given to virginity beyond the Mother of Jesus. But in the New Testament and in the Old Testament importance was given to virginity, only no one teaches it anymore.
Further, the New Testament teaches against divorce and Jesus teaches against marriage after divorce, but churches are not much teaching against divorce and marriage after divorce. So, what hope is there for the church when no one wants to know what the Bible says?
What hope is there for the church when no one wants to know what the Bible says on important topics that no one gives importance anymore? ...that are important in the Bible but people dismiss their importance because churches have dismissed the importance. Who cares about virginity anymore? The church doesn't. Who cares when marriages fall apart? Who cares about Christ's teachings against divorce? Who cares about Christ's teachings against marriages after divorce? The church doesn't. People look at modern customs for what they view as okay and acceptable. Thus, we have men marrying men and women marrying women. A man divorces his wife to marry a man. A woman divorces her husband to marry a woman. And the church has no problem with this. Women that are oriented to women become pastors and men that are oriented to men become pastors. So, we have lesbians and homosexuals and pedophiles as pastors and priests. None teach the importance of virginity. None teach against divorce. None teach against marriage after divorce. What value is there is going to church? Churches have become open doors to sin. NOT HOLINESS and NOT BIBLE TEACHINGS.
Yes, people are saved by grace and are saved through faith in Christ Jesus. But is that a license to continue lives of sin?
What does the New Testament say?
The New Testament asks "What is written?" Jesus answers, "It is written."
We are to go to the Bible for answers. But no one wants to go to the Bible anymore to see what it says. People dismiss the Bible. Pastors dismiss the Bible. The church disregards the Bible. So, what hope is there for Christianity? Everyone wants to disregard the Bible and the teachings of Christ. No one wants to follow the Bible anymore.
How important is it to have aa Christian boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse these days?
People want to disregard the Bible and to continue to live in sin. All the while claiming to be Christian. Some brief mention of Jesus. Some brief word of faith in Jesus, and all is okay. Maybe their Jesus tattoo is enough.
After Jesus died for our sins his Disciples went around the country and spoke at many Churches of the Churches that were formed for the purpose of bringing them inline with what Jesus expected of them be by teaching them how they were to act as Christians.
We no longer have Disciples traveling around and teaching how we are to act but we do have something better. It's called the Bible which contains everything we need to know to be worthy of heaven and to be called Christians.
And yet we have those who call themselves teachers who are silent on many parts of the Bible by refusing to point out to people especially women when they're wrong. You will hear a lot of things that men are expected to do in the relationships with women but for the most part there's silence when it comes to the woman's role.
It's almost like women are seen as naturally perfect and so there's no need to teach them their proper role in marriage and because of this men are supposed to cater to their every wim. And when a woman wants to go against the Bible and leave the marriage thereby destroying the family. Then it's always the mans fault and she has every right to do so because she's of course that naturally perfect person and never at fault.
Many like to use the certain scriptures as a reason not to tell women when they're wrong and also to discourage those that would tell women when they're wrong.
Galatians 5:22:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,"
They make the claim that because it hurts the feelings of people especially women when you point out the truth about how bad and destructive their behaviors are and are contrary to the scriptures that means you're not a Galatians 5:22 Christian.
Nowhere in there does it say telling truths that hurt feelings is wrong. In fact I can't remember reading anywhere in God's word that it say's telling the truth was ever a bad thing. Christians have become slaves to peoples feelings especially to those of women.
Just look at the feminist/liberal movement and you will see many things based on feelings and not reality. We are being told that truth is subjective and everyone can have their own truths.
So when one of these "High and Mighty" christian tries to shame me for telling the blatant truth. If they're a woman then I'm going to call her a feminist and when it's a man I'm going to call him a simp or sissy. They may be a christian but if they are then they have fallen into Satan's trap of feminism/liberalism. Most "Christians" don't even think that they're feminist & liberal because many of feminist & liberal ideologies have become so widely accepted in the Church that the lines have been blurred between between the two.
The plain truth is men need to be the men God created them to be and control their women and keep them out of trouble and women need to be the women God created them to be by being a submissive helpmeet to men.
