Sometimes, yeah.
It's not like it is going to rub off on anyone that because I drink sometimes, I will cause somebody to be an alcoholic but anyone knows that association with people who have bad habbits will bring down a person trying to break a bad habit.
Yeah, I mentioned that. If you have a weakness, don't hang with people who are doing it.
So, this was adults at church, drinking and doing drugs and nobody said anything to you? Interesting church.
There is a spiritual adultery, spiritual fornication and a spiritual homosexuality. Israel committed adultery by building Dan and Bethel and they created their own worship system and Judah started to follow.
When Israel built that golden calf, they committed adultery and the history of Israel is whoredom after whoredom until Judah was taken into Babylon and they stopped committing adultery after that.
I quit attending any Church, after 30 years of firsthand experience with various mentalities.
Let's see, it has been about 10 years since then, and although I may visit one once in awhile.
Things really haven't changed. And I do not have a desire to carry that heavy stone.
Ok, so you do not attend church, and yet somehow you see theses things take place in church.
Please notice also Paul's words at Hebrews 13:4 because 'God' will judge fornicators (porneia) and adulterers.
Fornicators ( porneia ) and adulterers are to be expelled as being part of the Christian congregation.
In other words, Christians who decide to practice sexual immorality are Not to associate with the congregation and vice versa.
However, anyone can repent so as Not to perish - 2nd Peter 3:9
When I walk into a church, all I see is fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals.
People of the world are always welcome to become part of the Christian congregation.
It is those who are already Christians who take up the practice of 1st Corinthians 5:11 that are Not to be associates.
Christendom ( so-called Christian but mostly in name only ) fits the category of Acts 20:29-30
False shepherds fleece the flock of God by watering down God's word so as Not to loose their flock.
They know there are people who want to have their ' ears tickled ', so to speak - 2nd Timothy 4:3-4
They fit the category of 1st Timothy 4:1-3
Because Christendom's members practice fornication ( porneia ) and adultery is especially why ' house ' cleaning will start with Christendom's religious ' house ' of worship - 1st Peter 4:17
Maybe it is that I am some kind of rare individual and maybe it's cause the devil is in me and nobody else.
I think that most people lie to themselves because a person will watch porn one night and go to church and speak ill of fornicators and adulterers when he had just finished the act himself but then I take what Jesus said very seriously. If I act out in anger, I have committed murder and I always have to make amends. I don't know, maybe I am given to lust more than most men or something because I am always guilty, always regretful of my own imaginations. I have taken my daughter to church and become very angry because the preacher was lusting after her and she knew it as everyone knew it and we never went back there and she was 12.
Those same kind of people will point at a gay person or a fornicator as if they had done nothing wrong but their eyes tell me they are also liars.
It does happen, and it can happen in youth groups, where some kids are unsure about their direction. It is not wise to allow it to continue as the ones using can get other kids to use as well. Some things are just common sense, but some posters are disagreeing just for the sake of disagreeing.

Damn their eyes.
That is why Jesus, speaking to "believers" in God, said the majority were on the wrong road and only a few were finding the right now. You just have been exposed to those on the broad way, who claim to be believers.
