Are you Compromising wth the world? Then don't throw stones at those who are not...

On the other hand...

Rebuking and reproof from someone who has taken the huge log of worldly compromise from out of their eye is certainly not "throwing stones".

Many cry out "God loves us all" in their attempt to essentially say "leave us alone as we compromise" is equivocating.

We all must not forget that "The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity." (Psalm 5:5).

The same Psalmist also said "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." (Psalm 139:23-24).

We are told to "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" and to " Abstain from all appearance of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22).  And we are told to not compromise with the world.

It's as simple as that...

The majority of today’s churches and the people who fill the pews and member rosters are not on the old paths that God has commanded us to stay on…

The church and its people have surely lost their way in the world.

They do this as they bring the world into their sanctuaries and their congregations.

They do this with their music, their dress and all the way down to thier doctrines and philosophies.

Music and services labeled "contemporary" or "modern" alone should concern someone who knows what God has said clearly on these matters. Inviting the heathen into this modern day "worship" further separates the church apart from what they were commanded in God's Word.

If it's true, it's not new

and

if it's new, it's not true.

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls... Jeremiah 6:16

The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation. Lamentations 1:10

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them ; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing ; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18:4

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 15:18-19

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. John 17:14-16

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:  Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.  Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.  1 Peter 2:9-12

So it would be best that you, if you are compromising with the world, that you do not not throw stones at those who have scriptural support in their rebuke of others, such as yourself,  who have been deceived in this matter.

Do not think too quickly that you are not deceived. Deception dictates that the deceived are not aware that they are deceived. This is why I pray for others, such as I was once in time's past on this matter, that they will have their eyes and ears opened by God's Spirit so they can see the truth as it is laid out so succinctly in scriptures.
