[QUOTE="supermagdalena, post: 296070, member: 508"] Some of my best friends are nonChristians. What's wrong with that? You think you can evangelize and touch people, as Christians are supposed to, by keeping an arm's length away? No way in heck. The quote is in the world, not of the world. If you don't fall into their habits or let them effect you, there's nothing wrong with reaching out to people. The quote is to [i]abstain[/i] from all appearance of evil. I don't see POD singing about and doing the stuff those bands are doing, but they are reaching out to them. It's a Christ-like behavior. I'm friends with everyone I can be at school. This makes people think more of Christians as a whole because they think, 'Hey, she's not snubbing me like half the school because I sleep around/do drugs/etc. Actually, she's being nice. Maybe there's something to all of this stuff after all.' At least that's what I hope to do. As far as the cussing, yeah, that would be bad. But I still have found no evidence. And if it's an isolated incidence, good gosh give the guys a break. They're still human, remember? Not perfect. Not holy. They're simply redeemed, sinful humans just like us. [/QUOTE]
