Separation from the world, huh?
We buy their gadgets. The day the IPad came out, there were numerous Apostolic preachers posting on Facebook rejoicing that they GOT ONE. 
Every new phone that comes out, we have to have it. New cars. New computers. Fastest internet connections. Nice houses.
We shop were the world shops.
We vacation where the world vacations. Disney World, Bransom, Gatlinburg, New York and Paris.
We spend like the world spends.
I'm SO TIRED of hearing about a Separation that is NOT A SEPARATION!!!!!! |
When we say the world we are speaking of sin! Seperation form sin! Woman not wearing pants has nothing to do with the 1940's!
We have no choice but to live in this world, use phones, computers, etc! But we do NOT have to take part in the sin of this world in how we act, what we do, how we look, or what we take part in.
Daniel had no choice but to live in bablyon, the king tried to feed them with food that was against the word of God. Daniel knew he had to eat, but he refused to eat the kings meat that God warned against!
Separation from the world is not about cars, houses, or gadgets! It's about SIN! If something soley promotes that which is unclean, no christian should have it or do it! Whether it be TV, immodest apparel, wearing clothing for the opposite sex, etc!
You threw in the part about women clothing, and the word still says not to wear apparel of the opposite sex!
So the world says its okay because we have "womens" pants now? Since when did the world standards define what we do?
If the world says its cool for men to wear skirts, do we just change our stand with the times and say its okay?
The world may change, but God's word doesn't.
Conviction walks out when SELF justification walks in.
