I posted this 18 hours ago - but it appears no one wants to touch this with a 10 ft pole!
Probably because when it comes to Biblical separation, no one really wants to tackle it for fear of coming across as legalistic.
Then there's the audience:
You should see the flack that preachers have taken in the past for even bringing up the subject;
I remember it well, years ago, and how it made some people in my old church very uncomfortable... and it's only become worse as the years have rolled on.
I know of very few that even try it today, because it's not popular to remind people of what the Scriptures say about it.
A good example is when I've brought it up on this forum...
You should see the posts, with people acting shocked, trying to figure out "how far is too far" and the opposite one, which basically comes across as "how closely can I walk to the world and its ways, and still be considered a Christian", etc.
Notwithstanding that I myself fought with these very issues as a young believer,
and some of the things on your list I would have been offended at back then.
Ultimately what I've found is that when anyone actually brings up the subject,
everyone has their own ( and sometimes very different ) ideas of what it is to
"come out and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing", and
"be ye holy as I am holy."
The purpose of this thread - is what YOU think...... about certain activities
so far - virtually no one has given a good response.
That's why I won't even comment on your list, Salty;
Because to me, it's "loaded"...
...and playing with loaded weapons is best when they are not pointed back at one's self.
