Why do you think the religious compromise required by
participating in heathen religious practices in the trade guilds
was so spiritually destructive?
A. Because it was an act of disobedience, comprimise is a spirit of it's own. One comprimises and then two. A little yeast leavens the whole.
What compromises do twenty-first
century Christians struggle with? Let's not settle for trite
legalisms about drinking and smoking. What are the real
compromises that dilute vital Christianity?
A. Unequally yoked marriage. Debt. Not witnessing for fear of job loss. Political polarity. Work vs. home committment. Material Accumulation vs. Spitual Devotion. Desire vs obedience. Many are similar throughout history but with the very material age we are in, it is easy to get lax about our spiritual condition.
