Title Compromising or Separation?
Content (Psalm 1:1-2, Romans 12:2)
The crossroads of right faith are compromise (broad tolerance) or separation (non-compromise).
This issue is about anti-biblical theology, church movements, forms of faith, culture, customs, traditions, beliefs, thoughts, ideas, behaviors, lifestyles, and people who like, follow, teach, and claim these things in life. It is a matter of compromise or separation.
In fact, humanly, compromise is a person who can make mistakes, but he can make room for himself, and because he is soft, it is easy to live and listens well, and he seems to be attractive because he can be recognized for being loving and broad-minded, and he can receive praise.
But on the other hand, separation (uncompromising) is stubborn, stubborn, cold, unhuman, perfectionist, narrow-minded, unloving, condemning others, choking, stuffy, even hypocrite. Therefore, most of the modern church members abandon separation and prefer compromise. Compromise is not usually compromise. A great compromise is a broad compromise.
However, the Bible of God's Word commands separation, not compromise.
Let us consider the following words with a humble spirit.
