5 Things Christians Often Condemn and What the Bible Actually Says |
|
At some point or another, every person in the world has looked at another person and drawn conclusions about them based only on what they've observed. It's not bad. It's human. As Christians, however, being "human" isn't the point, being spiritual is.
Remember, you are not a natural being having spiritual experiences, you are a spiritual being experiencing the natural world. And the natural and the spiritual worlds will always conflict. No surprise there!
But within the body of Christ, the conflicts run deep and wide over any number of things: Are spiritual gifts still in effect today? Should Christians ask Mary to pray for them? Are there still apostles? Did God predestine who would get saved or is salvation freely available to all who would choose it?
When our differences, even in Biblical interpretation, become a point of condemnation, rather than conversation or conviction of the Holy Spirit, the enemy wins more ground in the battle to divide and conquer. It's okay and even Scriptural to condemn sin in the body of Christ, but you need to be Scripturally accurate about what is sin, and what is not. That's where many Christians fall short. It's not who is right, it's what is right: the Bible.
Here are 5 things Christians often condemn and what the Bible actually says:
