Can you still be a child of God and live like the world? Wear provocitive clothing, go clubbin', drink tell your drunk, listen to music that is all about sex-drugs-crime-hate, and still go to church on Sunday and be a child of God? Is it okay to be Promiscuous?
Does the word of God convict your heart at all during these situations?
This question is for the Christians to respond to. I hope that you will leave your anti-God statments out please. I know you hate him and have nothing good to say about him and refuse him because you are affraid to stop your sinful way, but this question is for the believers please.Thank you.
I will be posting other questions later for you to attack. :)

I ask this because we as the body of CHRIST should remember him at all times. And walk in the light. And avoid this lifestyle.
And glorify GOD!!

A child of God can indulge in sin for a season, but then God will yank the rug out from under them to get their attention. (See I Corinthians 5:5 for an example.)
A child of God who lives in sin is the most unhappy sinner in the world, because they live under conviction the whole time they indulge in it.
If, however, there is no conviction, the person must ask themselves, "Am I truly a child of God?"
As it is written: "Keep examining yourselves to see whether you are continuing in the faith. Test yourselves! You know, do not you, that Jesus Christ lives in you? Could it be that you are failing the test?" (II Corinthians 13:5)
John agrees by saying, "If we claim that we have fellowship with him but keep living in the darkness, we are lying and the truth is not in us." (I John 1:6)

You can do all those things.. but you aren't considered a true Christian. You should straighten up and go to your priest for a confessional and then you will be like a born again Christian.
But everything you just described isn't really Christianly.. but no matter what if you believe it you will always be a Child of God because He loves all His children.

Ahhh...the morality of hypocracy...this is a fun one.
Ok...Rule #1. We are all mortals, by definition, imperfect.
Rule #2 Though imperfect, we must strive to be perfect.
Rule # 3 Failure is defined by "not striving to be perfect"
Rule #4 Failure to reach perfection is not a failure (see Rule #1)
To be a Christian means to follow the Law as Set by Christ:
Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, and soul.
And Love your nieghbor as you love yourself.
Though religions have tried to set rules to govern our lives, to tell us what to do, and what not to do, we must remeber that religions are governed by men on Earth. They are taking the Word of God (Divinity) and translating. It is the Perfect being translated by the Imperfect.
Worry not about your actions, but your heart. And if you heart is true, your actions will be to.

"By their fruits you shall know them." Matthew 7:20
One can, however, then one would be a very carnal and stunted, nominal Christian.
In order to be a vital, spirit-filled Christian one needs to forsake such behaviour. Read Romans chapter 1.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 tells Christians to that they do nothave things in common wth the world and that they are called to come out and be seperate.

You can still be a child of God and act the way the wat the world does. If you dint believe on God youre still a child of God because he put us all here. If you pray and thank God that he died for our sins then there is no doubt youre a child of God.

those things are things of the world and when you are a child of god you are suppose to stop doing them because they are sinful things and god hates when we accept him in our hearts and then din against him.

I don't think anything would make God not our Heavenly Father, but those activities would certainly show us to be not very obedient or devout children.

If you are a christian and do these things then you are still a christian ,only a disobedient child that must learn to do different.
