Is choosing which is the less of two evils, compromising with evil? I don’t think so?? So I’m thinking that the statement “we should never compromise with evil”, should be a maxim in the believers life. We should by all means, at whatever the cost, never ever compromise with evil. So as scripture says we can “be perfect as He is perfect.” Now, if I can just be a “do’er of the Word” Much love in Christ, Not me Edited October 6, 2018 by Not me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, couldn’t agree with you more. It does seem now-a-day you are called all sorts of names if you are not willing to compromise. But I wonder if this is where we could quote the scripture “he that endures shall be saved”. For it does seem at times you stand alone, but we’re not really alone, it just seems like that sometimes. Blessings to you, may Christ be enlarged in your innermost being. Much love in Christ, Not me Edited October 6, 2018 by Not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should this include things, practices, and people? For example, things such as PG-13 and R rated movies, popular music with various topics, and even sermons could all be considered evil by some. For practices, one could include seeing those movies, listening to music, and perhaps taking part in holiday celebrations this fall. Can people be evil? Is it a compromise to associate or talk to people that aren't Christian? How about those that practice things one considers evil? One may need to be careful not to descend onto a slippery slope in classifying so many things as 'evil' one is then unable to live and disciple as we're directed.

One may need to be careful not to descend onto a slippery slope in classifying so many things as 'evil' one is then unable to live and disciple as we're directed. I’m of the mind that as Christians we should classify evil just the way God does. Nothing more or nothing less. Though it is true, we for the most part don’t always know what is good and what is evil. That doesn’t change the fact that Good and evil themselves don’t change. Just our seeing into the mystery of good and evil. This is why as Christians it is vital that we get as close to, or as much as we can have of Christ manifested in our lives, so that we can tell and know “what the good and perfect will of God is.” For we are called to be righteous in all things. For of a truth there is only one good and one evil, just like there is only one life and one death. Scripture says; “there is only one that is good”. Goodness only exists in God, and where God chooses to manifest Himself. For goodness itself cannot but be manifested by God. Or there could not just be “one that is good”.

Are your kids going to a government run school with government curricula, pushing/planting corrupted seeds in their tender minds? Do you vote in all elections, as a good steward of your country? Do you try to get along with your lost neighbors to witness to them? How about your pastor, is he one of the original apostles, or does he have a few areas that need your attention? Do you work somewhere in a company/business that supports planned parenthood or the homosexual agenda? It is a never ending list of compromises, admit it or not. And it is getting harder. What about the internet? Social media, web sights. Forums........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
