Many see the "All things" and stop reading. They read "do not master me" and assume that as long as they don't get addicted, it's ok. Trouble is, you cannot pick and choose verses. You must take in the entire book. What 1 Cor 6:12 is telling us is, nothing, in and of itself, is unlawful, because the law is no longer in place. What makes sin wrong is that it takes us away from God. So what Hitler did, in and of itself, was not unlawful, however, it is impossible to do what he did, and remain close to God, because it is agaist God. Homosexual relations, in and of themselves, are not unlawful, however the fact that it is against God's nature means that to engage in it will bring division between you and God. THAT is what is wrong. |
