Scripture Post #1,317: *WICKED WORLD*

1st John 5:19:

"And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness."

The whole world lies in wickedness. Because the world is Godless, Christ-less. And when GOD is excluded, guess what else is excluded? Holiness. You can't have holiness without GOD. So, where there's no right, there can only be wrong. This is why we don't accept the things of this world. Because they oppose CHRIST.

 1st John 2:15: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 

V. 16: "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."
