Yesterday's sin - today's holiness

[Classik]

I'm so worried about whats happening in our world today. What we looked at in the past as sinful and unholy we practice today as righteous and pure and moral.

At what point does sin become acceptable - looked upon as human former inferior level of understanding? By this i mean, the world modernize the past and practice it today

 

[Ph8th]

God is not changing or conforming to the world. The world is attempting change God, to give itself comfort in its sin. It is almost like it doesn't mind falling away or even where it is heading to, it just wants to feel ok while it is doing it. People feel comfortable in numbers, if every body is doing it it must be right. you ok? im ok? see we're ok!
Scripture does not teach us to follow the sheep it teaches us to follow the shepherd.

Hi Classic, It has been that way from the beginning. It is not possible to have a moral society without God. It will not and never has existed. Every nation that rejects God's sovereignty will be morally and corporately decayed. Read the history of the Nation of Israel in 1 & 2 Kings and 1 & 2 Chronicles. With God they were prosperous. As they began to put God aside and rule from the flesh, things went down hill fast. At one point in their history, Israel did not even know the Torah existed (The Law of Moses). They had left the Lord to the point that they did not know about "The God of Israel." (2 Kings Chapters 22 & 23)
Every nation on earth that does not have the Lord, is and will be morally corrupt. Study Kings and Chronicles and you will see the United States. All the moral decline was because of the Ruler's self willed rule over the people. Just as we are under a ruler. We no loner have a president according to our Constitution. We are now under a ruler. If you are paying any attention at all, the Government we are under are lying to us and do not care that we know it, they just continue on, lie after lie. As a matter of fact we have come to expect them to lie to us. How all this will end is written in the Book of Revelation.

In Christ

That is true, Douglas. But I think it is getting worse

That's what is supposed to happen.

Romans 7:
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

As to sin getting worse? The general death sentence in relationship to "having sin" hasn't changed from day 1. Degrees of same don't really enter into the equations.

As to sin obtaining it's "strength" from the Law, there is no doubt. 1 Cor. 15:56 shows us this reality, and it's intention is for the death of the natural man.

God has "subjected" all of us to this vanity, and it is done in Hope.

Deuteronomy 31:17
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them;

so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?

Natural man, left to his own devices, will always turn up lacking. And in that, we are to ask ourselves the same question. Really no different than the laments of Job or of Jeremiah or any other numbers of prophets who spoke likewise, of their "woe is me" or "wretched man that I am" status.

These travails tend to drive us deeper into the matters of God in Christ and are exactly for that purpose.
