Facebook is a good and scary thing. Good, because it helps friends keep in touch. Scary because all that you have posted or when a friend tagged you...it will be an open book for all your friends or even strangers.
From the Facebook one will be able to see the "life" of a friend or a friend of a friend or even a stranger flashes by. So what one does "behind closed door" is now ... to a certain extend ... revealed.
We can see disturbing pictures and even conversations of Christians or so called Christians (I really don't know which category they belongs to. Only GOD know) being openly displaced. Questionable acts, Appearance of sin and even horrifying comments can be seen and read by one and all. Some will say this is "Open-Culture", "Being-True-To-Self", "The-In-Thing", "Everybody-Is-Doing-It", "The-Now-Generation".
Sigh!!! The degrading of our culture and moral have caught on with the new generation and even with the Christians.
Has Christianity been reduced to just a Sunday-Going-Christian now? Whatever else that I do outside the church and outside of Sunday is not of concern for anyone else? Is it that; as long as I go to church or read the bible, I can cheat someone? Express sexual love to a someone of the same gender? Drink till I get drunk? Show zero respect to parents and other? Drive like a maniac? etc etc etc.
There are also Christians that are teaching us that; as long as you have repented and confessed your sin ONCE, GOD would have forgiven you of your past, present and FUTURE sin. Since GOD has forgiven you of your future sin, you do not have to confess your sin anymore. So in a sense they are condoning Christians to sin. I can tell you many businessman will love this teaching.
1John 1: 9 says that : "If we confess our sin, HE (GOD) is just to forgive us and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness." Yes, Christians still sin. But need to restore our relationship with GOD by consciously repent and confess our sin to HIM and ask HIM for HIS forgiveness.
Really, who or what is a Christian? Can the real Christian please stand up?
