And how do Christians act today? At our side, be it at work, school, church, family circle or even in the streets, we are surrounded by Pharisees and evil people interested in catching us in the traps, which for the most part seem innocent without any trace of evil. Is not true. Satan put his wicked seeds there with beautiful wrapping.
Discernment is important in the life of any Christian. No one should ever act like a robot, accepting any argument, without seeking support in the Bible. Today we live the age of technology. In social networks it is routine to appear videos edited about a certain biblical passage, used to denigrate the image of God. People, without doing a detailed analysis of that material, pass it on and even adopt it as absolute truth.
It's the same as sex before marriage. The world does not accept this behavior, which is out of date and out of fashion. He takes passages from the Old Testament, where kings were entitled to several women (Solomon had a thousand) and emphasize that it is not wrong to act in this way. Of course they go over the 10 commandments, where God stresses that "adultery" is sin. They also leave aside the text of the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5, verse 28, when he says: "But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman with unclean intent in his heart, yet committeth adultery with her ... "
Whoever does not know the Word of God deeply, believes that sex before marriage is not sin. In a beautiful package, satan puts this gift of darkness into the hands of the Christian. Today, the bug is sold as something right. Sin is presented as a good deed. The devil joins the bad action and the sinner in the same sin and says that God agrees with that.
