Hear, speak and see no evil; I have heard these things since my earliest days upon this Earth. That was then, but NOW? Evil has changed- Cell phones, the web, cable TV and the like have pervaded our lives. In themselves, these things are not evil, but evil people can use good things to promote their evil lifestyle. The following small selection of Bible passages provide insight into EVIL.
Romans, Chapter 1 (WEB)
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error. 28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers, 30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans, Chapter 16 (WEB)
1 Thessalonians, Chapter 5 (WEB)
Romans, Chapter 12 (WEB)
Evil people invent more evil and good people combat them. Christians are told to be innocent about evil, abstain from it, and abhor it. People who follow God are to be wise about the good and cling to it. Technology may change, but God does not; follow HIM regardless of what the world tells you is good for you.
And remember- this is NOT monkey business, it is a matter of your eternal destiny!!!
