God never said you could participate in darkness.
He said don’t do it.
Those who dabble in Astrology, any divination, even fortune cookies,
many video games, pornography, alcoholism and other unclean things including music and the arts, that people consider harmless,
as long as they think they are in control of them.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2 Corinthians 6:17
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things
which are done of them in secret. Ephesians 5:11-12
Touching darkness is not harmless, it’s toxic, poisonous,
and participating in it, even thinking on it
or taking part in it, in any way, is offensive to the Lord.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14
When preaching the gospel,
we are to become all things to all people,
but that does not mean we participate in sin,
that means we are to reach out to them,
no matter what condition they are in
and relate to them in the name of the Lord.
We are to be separate from the world and to not be a friend of the world.
Adulterers and adulteresses!
Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?
Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world
makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4
If you have chosen to give God your life and to walk in His ways,
give up those things that are offensive to Him.
You’ll be more than glad you did as your rewards for choosing Christ
will be great, here, in this world, and in Heaven.
