[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1.

Justin has left a new comment on your post "Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1":

I guess my ultimate question isn't whether adapting to culture the best way of doing things. My ultimate question is is it wrong? Paul lays out a sense of Christian liberty that works within the current culture. Whether it is pop, christian, jewish, or the like, culture is culture. To the Romans, I became a Roman, to the Jews, a Jew.

But what I think you are saying Jesse is dont' do what the teens do. Don't do what the sinners of your day do. Separate from them because their culture is bad culture. But I just don't see Jesus doing this. He ate with the sinners, tax collectors, and whores and probably was hearing the filth of thier mouths but he didn't condemn them. Jesus wore the clothes of the day and attended partys that probably had "Jewish Contemporary Music."

So again back to my question...Is it wrong? Can we take things from our pop culture and apply them to ministry as the Fundamentalists of the past did? Is it a double standard to say no?
