Separation From The World
 
We keep hearing about separation from the world.

So...what exactly are people separating themselves from? What is considered to be "worldly" things?

For me it is about a separation from things that would make God unhappy.
"Love not the world, neither the things that are of the world".
I do not believe it means to move and start a commune somewhere.
We are in the world, but not of the world.

Not trying to pick on you aegsm, but since you were the first to mention this, what are the things of the world?

I mean I pretty much see many pentecostals do some of the same things in the world as "worldly people".

They do. They just change the terminology.

Barb, all due respect to you, that is a non answer.

I would say it is a nonsensical answer.
