A friend and i recently (as in yesterday) had a conversation that got me thinking-what is SIN and what is non-beneficial but not necessarily sin. Granted, almost everything under the sun has been labeled sin by many when in fact these things may be non-beneficial but certainly not sin. While the mere act of walking into a club, hearing a song about sex, drugs and murder or even watching a movie filled with sexual content may not be "sin", the probability that "it may" lead to sin is ridiculously high. Needless to say it's better to keep your distance. But if technically these are not sin, then i should be free to do them if i want to. Yes you are free to do whatever you please, but you are also as a christian called to walk like Christ did, hence the name CHRISTIAN. The big question then is: Would the same Jesus the scripture talks about be seen jammin' to lil Wayne's "lollipop" (not condemning lil Wayne!) right after watching Monster's Ball or will he despise of it? I mean, if you are having a hard time figuring out what Jesus is/not cool with, check out what the scripture says with an unbiased mind. Ask yourself if "he can come" or do you have to leave him behind while you partake in those activities? That's what i do...and it works for me, maybe it will work for you.
PS. While it may not be sin, it may work against HE that lives inside of you (just in case you were wondering, I'm talking about the spirit of God) lol.
