  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What are some examples of what is mentioned in this verse? I really want to know, so I don't commit what is mentioned in this verse. For I have seen someone say that guitar handles are "horns of Satan" and that when people say that guitars aren't evil, then that person brung this verse up.

Needless to say, that scared me.

How can I know if I call something good when it is evil? How can I know if I call something evil when it is good?

Read the entire chapter of Isaiah 5 and I think the context will be abundantly clear.

I suppose a guitar handle could be fashioned to look like or represent something evil .... outside of that ... guitars themselves aren't evil .... like most "objects" within themselves there isn't evil .... it's what one may do with the object(s) that could be evil ... or what the object might represent (ie idols) or something of that nature.

One cannot unwittingly, unintentionally call something evil, good. It has to be a deliberate act. That something ordinary, mundane which was not deliberately made to reflect or resemble something evil is not itself evil does if it happens to resemble something evil.

Christians don't take their instruction from the Israelite religion which is done away until the end of time, when they as a people are restored in Revelation. The ref. in Isaiah is about pre-occupation with entertainment and forgetting God. Entertaining self was their priority as Isaiah shows, and they were disregarding all that God showed for Israel. There are six woes shown there in chapter five (note verses 11-14 especially.
Christians are part of the new order in the New Testament which is about Israel's Messiah who they rejected and crucified. As a nation they are barely preserved for the future as shown in Revelation, but now are scattered as a rebellious people who crucified their Messiah. They have and will suffer much for years. Real "born again" Christians take all instruction in the New Testament. We only read the OT to understand the ways of God from the beginning. Where are you reading? I suggest you begin with the four Gospels and then Acts and the Epistles.
