Whatever Happened To Sin?

Whatever Happened To Sin?

 Now THAT is a really good question and I don’t know of anyone who could put it down in a song better than Steve Taylor! But just in case you find him a bit too hard to understand I’ll post the lyrics in a comment below. Enjoy.

Whatever Happened To Sin? – Steve Taylor

A Christian counselor wrote, quote,
"It's the only human choice ahead
If you can't support it
Why don't you abort it instead?"
You say you pray to the sky
Why? When you're afraid to take a stand down here
'Cause while the holy talk reads like a bad ad-lib
Silence screams you were robbing the crib
Say it ain't none of my business, huh?
A woman's got a right to choose
Now a grave-digger
Next you pull the trigger
What then?
Whatever happened to sin?


I heard the Reverend say
"Gay is probably normal in the Good Lord's sight
What's to be debated?
Jesus never stated what's right"
I'm no theology nut, but
The Reverend may be a little confused
For if the Lord don't care
And he chooses to ignore-ah
Tell it to the people
Of Sodom and Gomorrah (woah)
 Call it just an alternate lifestyle, huh?
Morality lies within
Consciences are restin'
Please repeat the question again
Whatever happened to sin?


You'll be on your knees
Praying for the National Guard
If you don't care now
How the problems get solved
You can shake your head later
That you never got involved
'Cause the call came ringing
From the throne of gold
But you never got the message (got the message)
'Cause your mind's on hold


A politician next door
Swore he'd set the Washington Arena on fire
Thinks he'll gladiate them
But they're gonna make him a liar
Well he's a good ole boy
Who was born and raised
In the buckle o' the Bible Belt
But remember when you step
Into your voting booth
He'll never lie
He'll just embellish the truth

Promises were made to be broken, right?
You've gotta play the game to win
When you need supporting
Tell 'em that you're born again
Whatever happened to sin?

Why Christians Behave Like Secular People; They Have Pre-Marital $ex and Live-in-Lovers

Why Christians Behave Like Secular People; They Have Pre-Marital $ex and Live-in-Lovers

According to a new study, from the online dating site, Christian Mingle, in conjunction with the Jewish dating site, JDate, religiously minded people are not following Biblical teachings when it comes down to premarital s*x and cohabitation.

When researchers for the study asked Christians if they would have s*x before getting married, 61% of them said that they would, contrary to what scripture tells them about the virtues of saving oneself for marriage.

Family Research Council fellow for policy studies, Peter Sprigg, said that Christians today appear to be more interested in doing what others are doing around them in the world than actually listening and obeying what it tells them to do in the Word of God.

Sprigg went on to say that online dating sites for Christians can become a trap for those who wish to obey scripture, because, although they believe they are mixing with like-minded people, they could be influenced to turn away from Biblical principles.

The study also showed that 56% of Christians believe that it is perfectly normal to cohabit with their partner before committing to a long term relationship, again contrary to what the Bible teaches.

Another 59% of Christians do not believe that the man should be head of the house and think that it’s appropriate for the woman to be the main breadwinner in the family.

One of the surprising finds of the report, in complete contradiction with Scripture, is that 34% of Christians don’t believe that they have to marry someone of the same faith, although they admitted that it would be preferable.

Relationship expert and licensed psychotherapist, Rachel Sussmann, said that when it comes to making decisions about s*xual matters, even the most strong Biblically minded people tend to do whatever feels right to them instead of relying on the Bible for guidance.

On the subject of couples having premarital s*x, Sussmann said, “Oftentimes couples find this as something personal between the two of them.” She continued “Even if the church frowns on this behavior, they take it upon themselves to make an educated decision between the two of them.”

The relationship expert continued that she believes that one of the main reasons couples ignore Biblical teachings when it comes to s*xual behavior is because pastors are afraid to teach them the truth about what the Word of God has to say on the matter.
