There is SO MUCH on tv that stands against holiness and right living.

There is SO MUCH on the radio that stands against holiness and right living.

There is SO MUCH on the internet that stands against holiness and right living.

You should lay all of these things down.

The Christian CD's that are manufactured today are manufactured by heathens who will not do the three steps and more as interpreted by some in order to gain salvation.

The Christian CD's are associated with and distributed by companies who do the work of satan on earth.

The electricity to run today's modern conveniences are owned by corporations and regulated by a government that is hell-bound and morally corrupt.

The gas we buy for our vehicles come from companies that practice all sorts of unrighteousness and dishonesty.

The tires on your car are manufactured and distributed by people who care nothing for your soul.

There is a good possibility that as you buy your furniture and electronics, and clothes that you are putting money in the pockets of Chinese people who use aborted baby fetuses as skin lotion.

Do you live in the southern portion of the U.S? The southern portion of the U.S. was built by slave labor and how do we all enjoy the fruit of their labor?

Do you live in the northern portion of the U.S.? The Bible commands you to come out from among them an be separate as their heathenistic and humanistic views on life are apparent to the world.

Do you live in California? And you call yourself a Christian!

Do you live in America? Do you enjoy our relative stability? The instability and poverty endemic to Central and South America today is in large part a result of American government subversion tactics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.


Unless you are living the life of an Apostolic Amish man in Lancaster, PA, you are living a life rife with hypocrisy and you can either get off the grid and move to Lancaster, or you can embrace the Grace of God that even allows the notion of your salvation and simply change the t.v channel, the radio station, block the website, and live a life of balance as you point the world around you to the Cross of Christ.

My prayer room is my favorite place to be! Im sure He would have told me something by now if He was against me watching it! My friend, I can walk down the street every day of my life and see the exact same things i see on TV, do I need to start wearing blinders? Or maybe just stay in? And what about the internet? Lots of ole nasty pop up ads on most every website. But people dont really see that ya know? The old gag at a gnat and swallow a camel applies to the TV situation.

Yep, the best post on this so far! These people that make JUST TV an issue are hypocrites to me! "Well I don't have a TV, but going on the internet and acting holier than everyone else is OK" ......To that I say....HUH?????

As you said, there are a LOT more things in our lives that can stop our walk with God other than JUST TV!

And isn't it funny that TV in the upci is frowned upon, yet the INTERNET is embraced? A lot more stuff goes on in the internet than on TV any day of the week!

It all depends on what show you watch or what site you visit,etc.

In other words, if it is in your heart, you don't even have to HAVE a TV to commit sin.

I find it funny that people can't control what they watch on TV, but they can control what they view online.

With the internet porn is just a click away and gratis.

This sounds like I'm parroting a UPC preacher, but I don't even attend church. But, TV is streaming, internet you have to click on what you want to see.
