And what does that big word mean, dichotomous?
Literally (in Greek, its Language of origin) it means “cut” into “two” pieces!
Today in the so-called free world … to me from now on … everything will be (all the more pronounced) seen as “right” or “wrong.”
Is there any “Bible” for that, Preacher Bagwell?
Yes!
For starters … “Ye that love the LORD, hate evil.” Psalm 97:10, the two great poles of life!
There it is!
Is this thought applicable today?
Certainly …
For example, abortion, if the Bible is right (and it is) … is evil! (Killing babies? Come on folks, surely there is no question among genuine Christians!)
So is any violation of the Levitical (Book of Leviticus) mores/standards on sexuality! Yes, sexual perversion (of any type) is evil!
Denying the Book of Genesis chapters 1 and 2 (God Creating the heaven and earth) … evil!
Not acknowledging Jesus Christ as the Son of God … evil!
And on and on and on …
For me, and I’m seeing it more clearly today than ever (especially regarding America) … God is right and man is wrong, evil!
Paul, say something to us along this line … “Let God be true, but every man a liar.” Romans 3:4
Jesus now …“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24, from the Sermon on the Mount!
We are at war with evil … Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
You cannot simultaneously love God and evil!
One more verse … “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8
The works of the devil … that is … EVIL!
We are progressively living in a evil Nation.
Christians, recognize the dichotomy please.
And respond accordingly!

Do remember there are “tares” in God’s “wheat” field as well. That’s why so many “religious” (but “lost”) people will disagree with my Article this morning.
