Is it just me, or has "Sin" become more acceptable in our society?
I used to remember a time when most people were hesitant to commit sin. Fearful of God's judgment and what would come of them "In the end". But as I grow older, I notice everything is more sinful. Its a normality that we fall into because we are busy "tryna fit in". Its EVERYWHERE around us. Stores, music, friends, jobs, schools, even our government. No one has a monopoly on moral truths anymore. And reasoning is ALL off.
This distorted reasoning has brought about CHANGE in people's vocabulary, thus making the "act" or "sin" more acceptable. The word "sin" is rarely used in serious context. It's become the butt end of jokes...Smh... People no longer "live in sin" they say they just "live together". They are no longer "Adulterers", they are just "having an affair". Its no longer called "homosexuality", its now "An alternative lifestyle".
I'm not one to "bash" your lifestyle because I struggle with personal decisions every day. I'm confronted with sin all the time, and honestly I fall into it sometimes. But I don't disregard the fact that it is actually sin, and try to make it ok...
All I'm tryna say is get hip..And recognize exactly WHAT your doing..Our days are surely numbered, and if you don't know by now, you need to get hip QUICK! I wouldn't wanna be one of those people left behind..Like the book series...Real Talk...
Peace&Love

One of my objectives in life:
To FULLYunderstand every single aspect of a "human relationship" (Whether it be Mom&Son, Father&Son, Mother&Daughter, Husband&Wife, Teacher&Student, Boss&Employee, TwoSameSexFriends, TwoOppositeSexFriends, etc.) By doing this, I believe I can fully understand all the interpersonal encounters that occur between the two (Emotions, feelings, moods, interaction, love, Sadness, happiness, etc.) By doing this I can fully grasp and understand people in general...Now that's what I call an Equilibrium of Compassion =)
God is first in my life..And everything else falls after (Matthew 6:33)

In our day and time, there is two ways of doing things; the "World's" way and "God's" way of doing things. It is imperative that we as individuals become highly knowledgeable of the word of God because Satan is roaming this earth, and if you are not properly equipped then you will find yourself easily deceived by him. For example, homosexuality. Homosexuality IS a sin and does NOT reflect God in any way, but if you are not careful then your mindset can become manipulated into thinking that it is alright to be attracted to the same sex.
Funny that you mention all of this because this subject recently crossed my mind as well. The other day I was watching t.v. and it dawned on me how "acceptable" it is to broadcast things that were once "unacceptable". Television networks now air movies and shows with nearly nude women, profanity used too loosely, drugs, alcohol, sex ,and etc. All I did was shake my head because even though I should be used to it, it still is appalling to me.
Also, I have a confession to make. I don't know if this is stingy of me or not, but lately I've been deciding on whether I would, later on in life, like to bring a child into this world. I look at society and all the many influences that exists in it and wondered if I wanted to put up with my child possibly becoming influenced by the world.
