The Bible says we are to avoid worldly pleasures, and I understand that we’re not to do anything sinful, but my question is whether “worldly” includes things like watching Netflix, or reading a novel, etc. I’ve been a Christian for years, and I know if someone had asked me this I would’ve said, “no, there are sinful pleasures and innocent pleasures; just don’t sin,” but in my slightly older age I’m starting to question this—I’m wondering if the “innocent”distractions I fill my life with are as innocent as I’ve imagined them to be (I’ve started to read Pilgrim’s Progress, and feel previous generations took the command to leave the “world” behind much more seriously than we do today).
Any opinions? I know salvation is through the finished work of Christ on the cross; I’m just wondering if we don’t misinterpret the commitment genuine faith requires.
