In today's world, people want to have their proverbial cake and eat it too, which could be understandable. As a Christian, I battle with this wanting to enjoy the spoils and lust of the world, and still serve God wholeheartedly.  The conflict comes when we realize that some of the spoils and lusts of life go against God's will. Some choose to try to live live a secular life separate from their God fearing life. How does this make sense? How is this possible? How can this be "ok'd" by The Almighty? The Creator is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent, therefore its a moot point to try. In the days of the Crusades, dualism was a common way of life. As history dictates, dualism does not work for God. How can we proclaim God on a Sunday or when church we are around church folk, and then be a whore monger, drug dealer, killer, or practice some other unscrupulous vocation like "He won't know about this...." why do we tolerate this from our Siblings in Christ? What message are we spreading to the next generation about Christianity? "We can do whatever just keep it separate from God? All that we do should be of and/or for God. All that is being doing is we are making it easy the enemy. how can we be reconciled back to God as he intended, when we try to live separate from Him?  Clean comments welcomed
