Christians.. do you think sin is more prevelant in todays culture than ever before?

Question

like biblical sin... like against he ten commandments sin.. and stuff like homosexuality.. adultry, abortion, rape, and crimes against children?

Answer 1

When I was a child in the sixty's, we started class at school with the teacher reading from the Bible, and then a prayer. The Ten Commandments were on the walls of every classroom, and this was a public school. No one locked their doors in the small town I grew up in, and I never knew any bad words until I was 10. As a teen holding hands was a big deal, and very few had sex before marriage.

I feel sorry for young people today, when I grew up movies were very tame, not so today. TV was also very tame, not so today. We are living in an age of sin, and I for one don't think we have long before Jesus Christ returns, and says ENOUGH!!!

Answer 2

Sorry, but sin isn't a substance. It can't be "prevalent". Sin is a judgement by other people about what is bad. The original opinions were written in the Bible by people. Ever since, people have been "interpretting" the Bible to make their opinions prominent.

So, are you asking if people are judging things as being bad more than they used to? I doubt it. Things are actually going fairly well. We have a lot of benefits today that we didn't have before. Most things are judged to be good by most people.

BTW, I'm an atheist. We give better answers on this topic than Christians.

Answer 3

No, the Incarnate Christ could no longer have sinned. Sin may be defined as loss of conformity to the moral regulation of God, the two in act, disposition, or state. See (a million John 3:4; Romans 4:15; Romans 6:12-17; Romans 7:5-24). Sin is a ethical evil. God won't be able to be morally evil or maybe pick to think approximately the alternative of being morally evil. Sin includes acts, tendencies, states of ideas which at the instant are not conformed to ethical regulation. God is that ethical lawgiver. God's strikes, tendencies, and state of ideas is often holy and appropriate. God could no longer pick to be double-minded, nor entertain the opportunity of so choosing. If God could pick to sin, what precisely could He be sinning against? God is the ideal ethical generic for what's seen sin. Does God answer to a various ethical authority? could God make a clean regulation (from our attitude), obviating the previous one? definite. Then the previous regulation at present no longer exists, when you consider that while God speaks, it happens. lower back, the question keeps to be, what could God's sin be against? God won't be able to sin nor even entertain the choice to no longer sin. Christ = God + guy in a paranormal union. there replaced into one individual interior the Incarnation, 2 natures, with one self-understanding, the divine one. for that reason, each and all of the above the two applies.

Answer 4

There are more people committing them and getting caught than before. A lot of things cause victims so much shame that they were less likely to be reported before. Or they believed it OK anyway. Like wife and child beating in the old days. No one would speak of rape or incest back then. Now we do and don't always blame the victim.
Also with communication and media it is more widely known.
They rarely report good things as they would loose ratings.
With all the atrocities we did learn in history books I'll bet there are tons not known. Maybe the only witness couldn't read or write or covered up as back then with less technology much easier to do.

Answer 5

Totally. It is all coming down. We are in the times, it is all scriptural. If you study the word, you will know. It's the times. The enemy (satan) knows his time is short and he is just trying to pull all the stops. He knows his time is running short and he wants what he has always wanted. To see how many of us he can take with him. He hates Jesus, so he will do anything to destroy us. We are the children of God created in his image! Jesus will be coming soon and with a flick of the finger Satan is down! But, in the meantime it is not a pretty picture. That is why we have to have faith, if you don't have it, pray for it. Call out to Jesus he will never turn his back on you no matter who you are or what you have done! He is God that came from his kingdom to be the last sacrifice for us! He is God in the flesh, son of God, you know, The Trinity. The Father, Jesus, & Holy Spirit.

It is so awesome to know that Good overcomes evil no matter what! Yes, there is much more sin, there is a pulling of powers in the world right now. Make your choice the right one. See you in heaven! God Bless You. Oh by the way, in case you wonder why we were created..................TO PRAISE AND WORSHIP THE ONE AND ONLY GOD OF THE HEAVENS AND THE UNIVERSE! ALSO, TO SERVE ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE. NO MATTER WHO IT IS, WITH NO JUDGEMENT, JUDGEMENT IS GOD'S MANDATE,NOT OURS. GOD BLESS. from vessel

Answer 6

The view of sin and the temptation to sin is absolutely more prevalent today than ever.

Let's take a look at the ten commandments. One of them is Honor thy mother and Father. Today there are too many single parent families. Often the single parent is angry and talks disparagingly about the absent parent. They in fact teach dishonor of the absent parent.

The music we allow our children to listen to, the videos they watch, the video games they play, teach them disrespect for laws and encourage immorality.

Our celebrities our held up to us as people we should emulate. Most of these people are openly immoral in their lifestyle.

Yes sin is more prevalent and, unfortunately, it is spiraling upwards out of control. God bless us everyone.

Answer 7

Yes. The wickedness of mankind is increasing and time is short.

Matthew 24:37-39, "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Answer 8

In the endtimes it will be like the days of noah. That shows that there was some pretty nasty sin, and large in number before in history. So much that God flooded the world. Im not sure if we have reached the massive of cultural sin, yet.

Answer 9

It seems that as time passes, people are more comfortable with sin taking over their lives. Many do not even recognize the face of evil yet, so they are ignorant of their sin, and would defend it and call it good. Sadly, it seems that sin is more prevalent today.

Answer 10

It is the same as it was back when God destroyed the earth by the flood waters, and then when He let fire and brimstone fall from the sky in Sodom and Gamorah, and the third time will be the charm, when Jesus returns for His church/bride and destroys sin and all it's evil for the last time. Praise the Lord!!
