People were asked to say what types of toxic behaviour in their opinion have been generally socially accepted but in reality shouldn't be. Here are some of mine- Shaming people for their interests. Eg looking down for people who play video games or watch cartoons as immature while playing games like dominoes for hours or being fanatic about sports is accepted.So long as its legal and moral what's wrong with them. Criticizing racism but accepting nationalityism. I've had CHRISTIANS warn me off of certain nationalities (dating wise) because theyre 'tricky' one man ever saidwomen from my country (which he left as a child and hadn't loved in since ) aren't submissive and most can't cook so had never want one. Degrading men due to being a virgin. I had a birthday hangout ruined by 2 friends repeatedly doing this this me. Never held once since. Boasting about how drunk they have gotten or will get .

Think for your self.

I limit my concern about behavior to my own before my LORD. I have enough failing to warrant using my time tending to them Doesn't matter a wit what a society may do or think. "Society" does not determine what my responsibility to God is or is not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are some of yours? God taught us that homosexuality is an abomination (Leviticus 18:22), but if you say that outloud, many people will accuse you of being evil. One "Christian" friend I had called me a Cristo-Nazi for saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to stoning people for adultery (Leviticus 20:10). and lets remind ourselves what adultery includes (according to the Old Covenant Law) Leviticus 18:8 (AV) 8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness. Isaiah 47:1–3 (AV) 1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. 2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. 3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to take up rocks to throw in then next Sunday goin' to meetin' services! To say nothing about the unchurched outside world!

Romans 14:4 (AV) 4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. Romans 2:1–6 (AV) 1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could we best hinder the Gospel outreach to those millions than that we bludgeon them because their faults are not technically precisely as our own?
