Christians have always been duplicitous.

None of these are new. Just because the OP is just now noticing does not make them novel.

yes there are not new and they are not meant to be with us till the end of time. there could be a change. and it could start from you and i. am not just noticing sir. thanks

Thanks all. keep adding yours. i know there are still more. God bless you

6. Gossiping and Backbiting.
7. Indecent Dressing
8. Pornography
9. Alcohol
10. Wild parties
***I tell u truth, some ''christians'' still do this.

you are right sir. especially indecent dressing. most times we ladies are guilty of this. dress in a way that seduces men in our churches, place of work, schools etc. yet holy ghost filled serving the lord.

Goshen360:
@ OP, I agree with everything you mentioned except for #3. Religion defined it what it is not. We can learn together. But first, cast your mind away that I justify immoral and reckless living. Far from it but let us examine scriptures together in context. You're invited to this on-going discussion on 2 threads here or there:

https://www.nairaland.com/1958523/what-does-bible-say-sex

Please, be open minded like the Bereans.

sorry sir. am not good in debate. i wouldnt comment there. God's words can not change no matter what. you and i know. God condemns sexual immorality.

.Nice one. mr. governor is really working. i pray kogi state Governor get to read things like this. so he can put more effort to his work.
or God pls inter change the governor of kogi state with Lagos state governor. we want to see change in that state.

Yes. No
If someone refuse to change from formal ways of doing things, the answer is YES
but should that same person change, the answer is NO.

Sometimes i wonder if we the present Christians would have been able to generate the name CHRISTIAN if apostle paul and the rest were not given the name by the unbelievers. its so sad how we do things now.
these few things i see we Christians do now and dont consider it sin anymore, there are like normal things now, but it does not change God 's standard anyway.
1. NOT LOVING EACH OTHER AS WE ARE MEANT TO
The message of 'love your neighbour as you love yourself' is going into extinction. we no longer love. even right there in church, we don't show love. its so sad how many drive big cars with empty seats from church home after services without giving someone going to the same street a ride. you saw your neighbour standing on the road looking for taxi, yet you see no reason to stop and give him/her a ride. I know if Jesus was in that your car, he would love to give everyone a ride home. so, you that cant help someone, who is your mentor sir/ma?
2. SAYING WHAT YOU DONT MEAN (LIES)
often times we give promises we know we are not going to keep. you know you cant keep it, yet you go around telling him/her you love. you know you cant help get him/her a job, yet you collected his/her Cv, kept it under your bed and keep promising each time he/sh calls. you know you dont mean it, yet you keep giving your word. its sad
3. PRE-MARITAL SEX
The fact that we are in modern age does not change God's standard of operation. the wages of sin is still death. no wonder so many pains and death in marriages today because of disobedient. God still judge those who defile marriage bed. its meant to be honourable. scientific analysis, philosophic reasoning, modern ways of analyzing things can not Change God's word
4. TAKING OF BRIBE
Christians now give and accept bribe to get job, contract, promotion and all that. Ex. 23:8
people gladly give bribe to get a job then come for testimony in church and see nothing wrong with it at all. they latter crown it with giving of tithes, first fruit offerings and all that. its sad
5. USING STRONG HEART IN DEALING WITH PEOPLE
I know of an uncle who is an active deacon in church. he easily write relatives off his list when they do wrong. he can never forgive. no matter how you apologies. and when he does that even if you die, he will never come for your funeral services.
alot of Christians are too heart hearted. you cant change them. dealing with people without mercy. the bible say Jesus was moved with compassion when he saw the people going in a wrong direction. what about us, why are Jesus features missing in us, yet we claim we love Jesus?
you are free to add yours. things Christians do now that we dont consider it sin anymore.

Your Opinion!! iPad Replacing Bible In The Church.
The Bible is a Sacred Book!
Ipad replacing Bible in the church and you call It modern day. ok,can you cast out demon with an ipad or can God listen when you Pray to him via iPad or Using Gadget driven Bibles?‪

@op. point of correction sir. It is not the bible that cast out demon. but the power of God inspiring and giving the grace to the person carrying it. that's why you see many carrying the bible here and there but no positive effect. some even put it under their pillow when going to bed, yet they still had bad dreams and all manner of attack.
secondly, do you know in the olden days, the word of God was written on something that looks like a board before the invention of book?

ok. i've sent u message already
