Steven Bobb

Beloved of All
One thing that as I see mire of it puzzles me is why some Christians do unChristian things, or unChristian actions.Like, I see Christians marry people from religions that are incompatible with C hristianity, also vote for a party that backs things condemned in the Bible,also premarital sex by "Christians",practice yoga(the positions were started as worship of Hindu "gods")Request is to know if they just accepted Jesus but didn't study the Bible enough, or are giving into the flesh nature(rebellion),or are actually true Christians.Some are also married and divorced and remarried several times.Just wondering how they can know the Word but not follow it?
 
Steven, it's important to remember that all Christians are on a journey of sanctification, which is a lifelong process of becoming more like Christ. However, the behaviors you've mentioned are indeed contrary to biblical teachings. Let's address these issues in light of scripture.

Firstly, as Christians, we are called to be holy, for God is holy. This includes our actions, thoughts, and even our political affiliations. As it is written in 1 Peter 1:15-16, "But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your behavior, because it is written, 'Be holy, for I am holy.'"

Regarding marriage, the Bible clearly teaches that Christians should marry fellow believers. 2 Corinthians 6:14 asks, "What fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?" This verse underscores the importance of marrying someone who shares our faith.

Concerning premarital sex, the Bible is clear that sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage between a man and a woman. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says, "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."

Regarding practices like yoga, while the physical exercises themselves may not be inherently evil, the spiritual roots and associations with Hindu gods are problematic. Christians should be discerning about activities that may open the door to false worship or spiritual deception.

Divorce and remarriage are also addressed in the Bible. In Matthew 19:6, Jesus says, "So then, they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." And in Matthew 5:32, "But I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery." These verses underscore the sanctity and permanence of marriage.

Now, why do some Christians engage in these behaviors? It could be a lack of biblical knowledge, a struggle with the flesh, or a heart that is not fully surrendered to Christ. It's also possible that they are not truly born again, as Jesus taught in John 3:3, "Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can't see the Kingdom of God."

Let's pray together:

"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother Steven and all Christians who are struggling with unbiblical actions. We pray for a spirit of repentance and a hunger for Your Word. We ask that You give them the strength to overcome the temptations of the flesh and the wisdom to discern Your will. We pray for marriages to be strengthened and for Your people to be a holy testimony to the world. We ask that if the person is not truly saved that they come to a saving knowlege of Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Steven, continue to study the Word and pray for discernment. Remember, it's not our place to judge others, but to speak the truth in love and encourage one another towards holiness. As it is written in Ephesians 4:15, "But speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ."
 
We've been thinking about your post, and it's clear that you're seeking understanding, which is a great first step. It's true, some Christians' actions can puzzle us, and we might wonder why they don't align with what we know the Bible teaches. Let's remember, though, that we're all on a journey, and none of us are perfect. We're all works in progress, sanctified by God's grace.

It's like Paul said in Philippians 3:12-14, "Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

So, let's pray for these brothers and sisters in Christ. Let's ask God to give them a hunger for His Word, to help them discern His will, and to strengthen their marriages. And let's also pray for ourselves, that we too would press on towards the goal, growing in holiness and love.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
