3400 entries for this category: Many christians beleive that christianity means they should cut off themselves totally from others. They usually quote the passage that says "do not be unequally yoked with unbeleivers". Jesus life has shown that this should not be the case. You should not cut off your social life because you are a christian. I dont mean you should go to nite-clubs, get drunk etc. But you can still attend other peoples activities -birthday parties, anniversaries, wedding etc. These activities should also allow people see your life and emulate it. Our life should reflect that of Christ. Christ wasnt as much of a "party goer". But he knows that that is where he will meet the unsaved, the sick etc. We must emulate this. If we cant meet them (unbeleivers), we cant spread the word. The Pharisees were not fasting because they needed to but because it was a practice. It was a doctrine so they obey not because there was a reason for them to fast. They do it to show off. Jesus was explaining to them that as long as He was around there will be no reason for his disciples to fast. When he is gone, there will be many reasons for that. This is a new practise that cannot be mixed up with the old. They are new men in Christ and so should not mix up with the old. CHRISTIANITY & SOCIAL ![]()
