Bible Discussion Thread

This verse is not saying that Christians cannot be friends with unsaved people. After all, Jesus was a friend of sinners. It is talking about allegiances and loyalties. If we care more about what the world thinks about things, ie. origins, family, gender roles, marriage, Church, government,etc. than what God says about these things, then we have chosen to side with the spirit of this world, Lucifer, than to believe what God says. It goes back to the lie that the serpent, Lucifer, sold to Eve, "Yea, hath God said "? He 's still using that line today with Christians. "Yea, did God really say this or that "? And Satan gets us to question the intentions and motives of God today by getting us to question, "Well did God really mean that? " Once we question the clear truth of the Bible, the window is then open for us to believe almost anything. Today many Christians don 't believe God made the earth in 6 literal 24 hour days, because the "scientific community " says the earth is millions of years old and we got here by chance, random, mutations over millions of years. Are we going to believe God or fallible mankind? "To be a friend of this world its motivations, thinking, beliefs, attitudes is to be against, or at odds with God ". For me it has to be, "Let God be TRUE, and every man a liar! " I have many unsaved friends, but when it comes to believing what God says, there can be no compromise.
