Just like the subject what does it mean, is it that Christians do a background check of everyone they meet everyday?

It means, do not knowingly Bam ba, in the question to chill with the big boys.

Religion/faith is one strata of the human existence, it doesn't seclude us from the social interaction inevitable in a world of billions. Howevee, to fellowship

How can you not mingle with worldly people? You were sent out to live among the people of the world and even commanded to preach to those in the world, so exactly how do you go about not mingling with worldly people?, undecided

Jesus Christ, the Christ in the word "Christian" didn't tell you not to mingle with worldly people though. He instead said something like "... you are in the world but you are not of the world". The Sam Jesus Christ mingled with sinners, healing and preaching His Gospel to them. Ofcourse Jesus Christ called on us to do as He asks, and not one of His instructions to us is that we isolate ourselves from the worldly people. So where did you get this antiChrist suggestion from? lipsrsealed

The worldly people are responsible for growing much of the food you eat, manufacturing the materials you build your homes with, designing and building the car you drive, and most everything else you use. Even the currency you spend on whatever you spend it on is of the system of this world. It is impossible to live in this world and completely isolate yourself from the world. undecided

So what gives you the idea that you can exists on this year world without mingling with the worldly people? Whoever told you you should do that is ether a hypocrite or an ignorant individual. undecided

Don't mix with worldly people yet they don't want to die and go to heaven to mix with heavenly people.

Don't mix with worldly people yet they are seen buying and using the latest worldly materials.

Na hypocrisy go kill religious people las las.

You need worldy people more than you think....

Which soul would you win over if not for the worldy people.....

Worldly people most of them invented what you use today for your everyday living, these worldy people self......

How come your G.Os lives more lavishly than these so called wordly people but yet are considered holy and right...??

We all know everything is vanity but yet you see top pastors enmasing wealth for worldly purposes....

No difference between them and politician..
You can't just differentiate, they talk and act alike....

Righteous people with backyard wordly life..... grin

What it means is that though you're in the world, but you're not part of the world. Which means you don't see things the way worldly people see things as a Christian. For instance, you don't hold onto temporary things (such as this "latest in town" orientation). You don't help a person with the aim of receiving help from the same person etc.

Exactly as the world is shouting to everyone fuq. up and down, drink, smoke, tattoo, do whatever you like after all it is your right, don't listen to God and His Bible, the statement therefore means "DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM AND STAY AWAY FROM THEM"!

I know you this, but you are just here to ensure that everyone remains an evil thing.
Re: Don't Mingle With Worldly People: What Does This Mean by Dtruthspeaker: 9:58am On Jan 23, 2022
Funny how the Bible says stay out of the world but the world will never let anyone stay out.

They pursue you, harrass you and when you still refuse to follow them, then they start insulting you and start attacking the God and the Bible.

Funny how they shout 'it's my right" but when it comes to the rights of others to stay away from them, then they start shouting and scratching like the witches and demons they are!

Una funny sha.
I am in the world and I am part of the world, you are in the world but not part of the world, but guess what?

I enjoy sex , you enjoy sex.
I am a product of sex, same with you.
I have clothes, you have clothes.
I have money in the bank , you also have money in the bank.
I use computers, internet and smartphones, you use them too.
I enjoy electricity, you also enjoy electricity.
I use cars , aeroplanes, you also use them.

How else do want to be part of the world ?


Christians don't help a person with the aim of receiving help from the same person, but they do so with the hope of being rewarded by their Jehovah. I am "of the world" as Christians call it yet I help people with expecting any reward from ANYBODY or deity. I help because it feels good to help.

In my opinion, it means - do not knowingly entangle yourself with a person or people who do not share and practice Godly principles like you because evil communication corrupts good manners.
