Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 [quote name='Briguy' post='1105313' date='Oct 30 2006, 06:59 PM'] Hello, The next verse says this: 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. It is not just false teaching that is the problem with the world. It is all the things that distract us from proper love and service to God. John is warning us here. I think it is obvious that is is fine to love certain things in this world. I love a walk in the woods, especially with my children. I love playing Tennis with my son, etc... I do however take the warning from John seriously and try to be careful where my priorities are. In Christ, Brian [/quote] Then we agree. We are to love the world, but not those things which distract us from God or not in a way which distracts us from God. Afterall, John 3:16 says that even God loves the world.
