Abstain From the Appearance of Evil | with Isaiah Woodie (Theology Thursday Ep. 5)

Modern Christianity is at odds with its traditional counterpart. Historically, Christianity held a very strict attitude against sin, and its affect on the life of a believer. Christians have been known for their abstinence towards a life of sin, and have even been criticized for their sincerity to the word of God. But that is only historically speaking. Today, the line is becoming blurred on what Christians constitute as sin, and what they are willing to tolerate or even allow. The modern church has become a friend of sin, by allowing clear contradictions to Gods word to find its way into society, as well as its congregation. Many modern Christians will tell you that they believe God doesn't care about sin as much as we have been told to believe. This line of thinking is wrong. The God of the Old Testament has not changed. It is Christians themselves that have changed. Just as Israel left God, the church is now guilty of the same. Abstaining from all appearances of evil is more important now as it has ever been.
